Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a brontosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a brontosaurus.
Umm, I like these guys. They really help me to protect the pack. When you tame them they are very protective of their stuff don’t take their eggs. Also don’t hit them bc you will be the first man on Mars.
If your taming one lure it to a cliff and shoot it when it runs keep it from entering water
These things are amazing pets, love em but they're eggs take FOREVER to hatch, but the baby's are tots worth it🦕🥰
Best method is kite to cliff or perch atop a high boulder out of reach and lay on the tranq arrows with an ascendant crossbow. Be sure to bring the Carbonemys kibble though, my wife helped with both!
Don’t worry about it waking up it takes foreeevvveeerrrr
Find a cliff and shoot it with tranquilizers. When it runs away, follow it and keep shooting it.
Be careful it might turn around and attack you. If it does run away and turn around and shoot it! Than give it food when you knock it out! Happy taming!!😀🙂🤩
If you have a Pteradon or any other flying Dino use that to get the brontos attention, a lil bite should do it and then fly to high ground. Cannot get YEETed whilst flying 👍
It’s actually really easy to tame up on these suckers, all I did was get to a high place, knock it’s down with tranq arrows, popped some berries and minor soothing balm into her and waited for it to take up! ( I did tame mine btw)
When I first thought of getting one of these guys, I thought it would be a pain but it wasn’t. The biggest problem I ran into was I didn’t bring enough tranqs so I had to improvise and use a club and somehow got him knocked out (always bring more tranqs that you think you might need). Next, I decided to use a soothing balm which did the trick and I had a lvl 135 bronto (207 after taming) after only 15 min of waiting with mejos. Overall pretty easy tame but I would recommend that if by water, build a trap for the bronto so it doesn’t try to run to the water and drown itself.
To tame him just get like 50 tranq arrows and a cross bow (bring a few extra tranqs just in case) then just shoot him and walk backwards and he won't be able to hit you for a while by the time you knock him out you will have lost a little bit of health but you knocked out that bronto then just put a couple hundred berries since they stay asleep for 2 and a half hours it only takes about 1hour tame him on just berries so you won't need narcotics or any thing congratulations you just tamed a bronto
How to tame a Bronto
Find one, make sure there is no deep water close to it or it will go deep and you can't be able to attack it.
Get a crossbow and 15-16 toxicant arrows,if you are bad at shooting.Attack from front,it won't be easily able to attack you.
Get some 2or 3 Carbonylum(you may understand) kibble and 10x soothing balm.
And it's yours.
Easy trap 1 stone foundation a stone doorway and a reinforced door with 3 stone walls on foundation then put 4 doorways on top of walls and door then get Agro then get inside the trap and you can tranq it without u or your builds getting damaged
I tamed a level 5 when I was level 25 all you need is a lot of tranq arrows and a lot of Berries I got from a trike
It’s easy if you have a Tapejara. Put it on follow, jump in the front or back seat of it and get all the headshots. Bam.
If you have a megalania, save your darts. just bite it a few times, sit back and wait for it to drop. Easiest big tame in the game
This thing hit me 63 times but I knocked it out using 10 stone arrows and 14 tranq arrows.it took an hour to do.
Use grapple on high rock and use tranq arrow or darts and feed it narcotics to keep it knocked out
I recommend that you bring shocking darts and out run it on foot aim for the head and wait 5-6 seconds before shooting again
Thwy prefer Citronal when taming them. I'm taming a 145 right now and it won't eat any of the other veggies or berries on it while it has the Citronal. You could say it's easy peasy lemon squeezy.
If you find one below level 30 you can just fire 20 tranqs at them and fill ‘em up with berries to get a gigantic, loyal behemoth.
