Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a brontosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a brontosaurus.
For pro's:
I tamed a wild lvl 260 male and lvl 230 female. Best way for taming high level brontos:
Get 4-5 stone dinosaur gateways (no gates needed) sneak up to the passive bronto you want and quickly place the gates around it while you circle it. Better start from the front and as he turns around place the next.
If there are other low level brontos around, kill them first or make them chase you away from the trapped target. They tend to protect each other if one is hit.
After you trapped it, about 70-80 tranq darts from a good longneck rifle, and 4-6 exceptional kibbles will tame it fast, unless you want to use berries and spend 20-30 min protecting your tame even during nightime with torches.
Have fun, good luck!
Please read this! These guys are big but not as scary as ya think! I find them everywhere in draycos cove. I tried to tame one with a bow and I almost knocked it out but it ran into the water. I tried again with a crossbow and it took 25 tranq arrows. No need for soothing balm or narcotics, no narcoberries! Now he’s sitting with my other pets towering over them! I hope this was useful
Poop eggs me know about the screens
He isn't to hard to tame, I got a level 15 one with a good bow ( journeyman) and 30 tranqs. He's the boss tho.
She train the she got revenge because her mom got killed by t rex
These things are annoying knock out and tame! They spawn by beaches and have a buddy next to them!When you make there torpor very high it will flee in to the water and get eaten! My advice is to hit them with an arrow and let them hit you 1s and head away from water and go up a cliff, then shoot at it with tranqs like its youre worst enemy(teletubie)
When I try to tame these guys I get a pt or a tapejara and have it hold one of my friends while I fly above the bronto and we don’t normally get hit and we can just keep shooting until it’s out. Hope this helps :)
On mobile all u have to do is walk back wards and you will be good
these guys are easy to tame on herbivore island (south haven) as these guys are super easy to knockout with tranq arrows and a crossbow on the cliff area and im only level 27 and i got one. i advise you to get at least a parasaur cos these fatsos need berries.
Honestly turn up player dmg get usually 3 Tranqs and a bow then you got bronto
If you want to kill this you need arrows and a lot of material to repair the bow because the bronco has up to 1k health also it’s faster then you think
If you want to take one and you have a thylocoleo just tranq it and then with your thylocoleo climb a mountain that is high enough so it can’t hit you and then go for it
Tranq arrows from a crossbow over large distance did the trick for me, keep a trike on standby with berries for the tame of to fight in case the tranqs didn’t work
Just sit on a metal tower made pillars and just smack trank darts on the head.
Keep from a distance and just shoot it with the tranqs also I would prefer vegetables and berries
It's pretty slow so just shoot at it with a crossbow while you walk backwards. Just be careful about it's tail swipe attack wich can throw you of a Cliff.
The brontosaurus is actually a very easy tame and donts require alot of tranq arrows or darts. Since the brontosaurus has to stop to attack you can kite them very easily when tranqing one.they has don't need very many narcos either but are a longer tame. The brontosaurus is the best Dino to get Berry's due to their huge tail radius swing and carry weight on the 1000s. Plus battle brontosaurus are extremely effective and when mate boosted can drain turrets or destroy plant X. Brontosaurus are must have on your way to being alphas.
One of the easiest dinos to tame. Just be sure you have a decent amount of tranq arrows and mejo berries. It holds its own fairly well in battle thanks to its high HP and strong knock back on its tail. Another plus is that it can turn dillos and troodons into pancakes!
Make a stone box (foundation, three walls, a roof, and a doorframe but NO DOOR) and aggro it. Run inside the box and shoot it with tranq until it starts running. Then chase it down, feed it berries, and its ur invincible bestie!
They actually can’t even hurt stone buildings so if you weird like me I just built what I now call “bronto tower” then shoot down at it, make sure it does not bait you off and it is tall enough.
