Brontosaurus

The Brontosaurus is a behemoth of a dinosaur with a powerful tail 'tail sweep' attack that can smash all nearby enemies. This method is also one of the most efficient ways to gather berries and thatch, and the Brontosaurus' ability to carry large quantities of items make it even more useful for gathering. With its ability to carry a Platform Saddle, the Brontosaurus is often considered a must-have dinosaur for nomadic tribes looking for a mobile base.

How ARK players tame and knock out the Brontosaurus: what to feed it, what to knock it out with, and how to keep it safe.

They have the attention spand of a fish.

Don't fly to close with a flying mount because you might get stuck in it with no way to escape but to kill.

If you're having trouble knocking out a Bronto, wait till it stands still, place 1 dinosaur gateway infront, 2…

Easy to tame. Just get on a cliff and make sure there's no water below it. If it's high enough you can shoot the bronto and he won't reach you. Have at least 50 tranqs for if you miss. Load him up with about 1000 berries and soon you'll have a bronto :)

Be careful when trying to take these guys out they do trample damage when running at you. If your on something strong you should be fine but on a raptor it will not be a good day for both of you.

Trying to tame one is hard

So i am on level 11 maybe, and it took me 20 minutes to tame my bronto🤣 but it was worthy. They are really good defenders! (Took me about 60 mejoberties to tame it)

I used this method to tame mine so FEEL FREE TO USE IT!

1. Tame a tapejara (they have more than one seat)

2. Make the tapejara follow you so they don’t completely go down and land while on the passenger seat.

3. Go fly a bit higher so the bronto can’t catch you.

4. Hit…

4-5 stone dino gates. Run underneath your target bronto wait for it to idle and put a gate in front and back of his legs and on each side. Wait till it moves a bit to see if it's trapped, get away a bit (it will start swinging till it runs the moment you shoot)and just…

You don’t need an AC to incubate its egg just 4 standing torches will do

Up if helpful ✌️

Roighto so what you gotta do is get a horse, raptor or literally any flying creature, get a crossbow with like 50-100 tranq arrows depending on your difficulty setting and just shoo it and don't get launched into the stratosphere by that tail whip.

Also even though you…

When taming bronto a good tip is to use toxicant arrows and a crossbow for best effects. Also stand up on a cliff face, so you have the advantage of height.

hi this is my brontosaurus I love how he looks

My base is on south beach and there was a low level bronto near it. All I did was shoot it with a tranq when it got a little farther and led it to a cliff so I can shoot at it’s head easier. She went down and I used a bunch of berries and bio toxin

I knocked out this guy at level ten by being on a cliff and shooting with a slingshot. Was a lvl 5 too

Is it funny that these things are about 100 times easier to kill than tame?

There easier to kill than rexes and are harder to knock out

-1 pointsJan 17, 20215 years oldReport

These don’t have headshot multipliers. Go for body shots.

-1 pointsDec 23, 20205 years oldReport

Get up on a ledge where it can't reach you

Use either a bow or a crossbow to shoot it with tranq arrows

Feed it berries, mejo work the best

Use 21 darts and always have high ground or distance
