Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a brontosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a brontosaurus.
Uh handy tip, don't stand on the bronco and log off, cause when you log back in...you will be inside it...
Also all you need to tame is like 6 tranq arrows to the head and like 100 berries, no narcotics needed. Just patience.
If you don’t have tranq arrows you bola and clubs, it hard I recommend a crap tone (bad spelling) of bola’s once when it was abt done use club to finish it off :3
They are slow so you can even knock them out with a bow and arrow if you want
You can lead it to a large cliff that it can't climb and tranw it out that way, you can knock it out with a slingshot early game and have a pretty good protector that can knock back most threats.
The best way to knock out a bronto is to build a stone hut, 1 foundation, 1 door frame with door and then put stone walls around the rest of the foundation. Next put stone door frames on top of all the ways and then start loading the tranqs:) enjoy
P.s make sure everything is made out of stone!
Use a magnifying glass to see the bronto hit points before tranqing a high level one. This will make sure you don't waste arrows on a low hp one.
I usually get my 100 tranqs then take off, Once I see a bronto (I usually get the females) I shout one at a far distant and I keep shooting until it gets kind of close then I run and Starr shooting at a far distant again until it runs then I take after it and shoot then it falls and I use rockarrots and it tamed pretty quickly
Stomp attacks would make bronto taming harder, so keep this in mind whoever wishes for stomp attacks.
After all, some suggest you go under bronto, but stomps make it harder for brontos to get tamed.
They’re a strong but overrated tame!
I just find them near rivers and hop on my raft lure it towards me while shooting it with tranqs and when it starts running let it run onto the riverbank feed it some berries or kibble and then enjoy you very powerful tame!
I have tamed 3 at level 20 soo I dunno what ima do
Finding a cliff is easier but if you have enough movement speed just Run&Gun.
I was able to tame one by getting on a high cliff then shooting it with dozens of tranq arrows with a crossbow then I gave it 300 mejoberries (that was way too much) then it tamed
1. Get at least 50 tranq arrows with a bow/crossbow
2. Find a cliff and find a bronto near you (MAKE SURE THERES NONE NEXT TO HIM)
3. Prepare for battle, also make sure he won’t run into the water cause he will drown if he gets knocked out there.
4. ATTACK! Try for the head, it’s most useful.
5. Soon enough the giant beast will fall to the ground! Hop down off the cliff and admire the lump on the sand
6. Now fill him up with berries by the hundreds (I used 1500) But I didn’t need that much.
7. Now wait, get rid of all threats to your friend and protect him!
8. After maybe 20-30 minutes you’ll have a big ol’ protecter.
9. Bring him home and introduce him to your friends!
10. You can do it! Level 20 can do it. Flyers are useful if he gets to close.
If there’s no cliffs nearby and you’re at a high enough level, you can build a small stone house using 1 foundation 3 window frames and 5 door frames then a door (preferably reinforced door). The window frames and one door frame go on the foundation then the other 4 door frames go on top of those walls. Place the door in the bottom doorframe so you can leave and enter while still protected. Then you can shoot away at the bronto without getting hit- you may also want to crouch. Then leave the house when it starts to flee.
Graple on to its belly and tranq it
Knocking out a bronto isn’t a price of cake for beginners, grab a teammate or two and go on a high enough cliff near a bronto (make sure he can’t tail slap you up there) and shoot him if his head is showing shoot him in the head and feed him mejoberies and narcotics if u have kibble USE IT it takes a looooooonnnnngggggg time on a regular server to tame one of these beasts!
They have much lower health then you think. The strongest bow you should use is crossbow. Or else you might kill them
Just go to herbie island put a behemoth gate at the inlet lead the bronto in then just shoot at it from the mountain
I recommend using an arg and two tribe mates one driving it the other is shoot in it with tranqs
Did you know you don’t need any tranq arrows or darts for dis boi just hit his legs if it works be happy if it doesn’t click the down button
I found a low level bronto, climbed a cliff so it couldn't reach me and shot it with tranq arrows. took about 25 arrows. feed it roughly 120 berries and it tamed !
