Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a brontosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a brontosaurus.
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.
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.
Im a mobile player and i tamed lvl 300 bronto with 10x soothing balm and 4 turtle kibble
Brontos are really great for mass gathering berries,thatch,wood and rockarrot
I once tamed a bronto
I used a person's tek base as a trap the bronto got stuck in it and then a tranqed it was a level 120 took about 8 shocking darts to the face and it took kibble
It ended up as a 300 after tame
Use the right kibble it’s so hard to tame it
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
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 !
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
to take a bronco, you are ALWAYS going to need to the highest ground from it, and then start shoooting it with a gun,crossbow ect.. and then once it is low, it will start running away so that’s how you know that it’s low, and keep shooting until it’s knocked out.. i hope this helped anyone!
I used 58 on 2x and it didn't work
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.
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
