Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a brontosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a brontosaurus.
Trap em in a horse u pit like herbivore islands or cliff then get a pal and pepper with tranq bullets or arrows
Literally the best and less effort way to tame is to kite it to a cliff (doesn't matter the level) shoot it down, and stuff it full of mejos. The only thing after that is to either sit back and watch YouTube, tame another Dino close, or put a tamed Dino or two near it to gaurd and do other things while coming back to check every 15-20 min
If you are getting chased by some dangerous dino like a rex, spino (twice as fast as a human), giga (same thing), carcharo (2.5x faster than a human), rhynio (2.25x faster) or somehow by an aggressive megatherium that has bug buff (1.5x faster) then bronto could be your defender..just run under his legs fast as possible and as long as it's those 6 dinos listed above and not some raptor or carno watch the free battle against bronto vs the one you were chased by which will almost always result in a dead bronto!!
If instead you are being chased by a carno, then do the same thing go under the brontos legs, then stand still and try to make the carno bite the bronto while tanking damage from the carno, then run away as you definitely will have enough time before the bronto attacks and you WON'T be caught in its attack aoe (trust). Upon being damaged by the bronto, the carno that is definitely not closer to you than you both are to the bronto will definitely also stop chasing you and instead totally run in the reverse direction at the bronto and start attacking it.
You don’t need to be a high level to tame a Bronto you just need at least 60 narco arows and some berrys for a level 6 bronto
Can be a great early to mid and event late game tame. Here is how to tame one for each stage of the game.
Early: This is the hardest stage. It is still doable though. Get a few slingshot plenty of narcoberrys and plenty of mejoberrys. Get on a ledge or cliff shoot at it with slingshot, or bow if it’s to far. Then when he comes over shoot at it with the slingshot to knock it out. Feed berries then wait for your tame.
Mid game- This should be easier. Get a crossbow with plenty of tranqs and berries. Find a ledge or cliff shoot down at it. Or you could use a pt or argy make it chase you fly away shoot at it and fly away. You could repeat that over and over till he’s out. Feed berries and enjoy.
Late game: Get long neck with tranq darts or shocking darts and either do one of first 2 options. Or if you wanted you could build a gate trap. Then you could kite it into the trap shut the gates and start tranqing. Feed berries and enjoy.
For a level 16 it takes 2 hours to wake up. For a level 2, it takes 1 hour and 30 minutes.
Lure it near a cliff and then go on the cliff. Start shooting tranqs at it and knock it out. Very slow torpor drain and very fast taming
Lick it, good taste, yum yum bronto cakes
I submitted the tip below, and I used a Baryonx not a Bart. Autocorrect hates me.
If you have a friend who can help you this tame is super easy! One player shoots the brontosaurus at his back and the other shoots his head/neck. The bront will target one person, and then the person at the other side can shoot it easily! Th brontosaurus will switch his target. I recommend tranquilizer darts.
How to tame.
How to tame is easy: first find one that has 2300 health. Then get 40 to 50 tranq arrows (I only used 30).
Then shoot then run then shoot then run and keep doing it.
Then when it falls get some bio toxin and narcotics.
Use mejoberries or amarbarreis or azzullberries.
Then wait a while (I did lots of things while waiting) then there you go! I hope this helped! (My bronto aka apatasuarus is named Fred)
Just tamed my first Bronto!
Holy crap that was exciting. Anyway, I think I used around 20 narc arrows to take the big girl down, and I’d already got a butt load of berries to feed her. Thankfully, I used my pteranodon to get onto the highest rock possible - I fell off a few times but hey no. I managed to eventually knock out the Bronto. I followed advice on here and so amazing that I did - these people are the best🫶🏻-Lucy
Put eggs out make more. What is yours?
Aggro it on a high place that it cant reach.then use tranq arrows 119x
to knock it out then use berries 90x to tame.
Use high setting and admin for darts and get the high ground
About to Knock out a bronto until it ran away To a diff island With a spino right in the water- I was so close But they bronto got away :,)
On mobile they take about 11 Tranq Darts to the head
If you want a giant beast t rex is not the choice choose brontosaurus the beast of giants this thing is big and strong to tame it you need to have 200 to 300 darts to knock the big beast out and for taming ypu should use 10 to 20 kibbles for this that’s all welcome
Real men knock this out with fists, use stimberries to tame and use narcoberries as narcotics
I was trying to tame one with a sling shot it went down after around 200 rocks and then I accidentally hit it again so it wouldn’t wake up and it died rip for GigaNeck
