Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a brontosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a brontosaurus.
I tamed one today with about 50 knockout arrows (forgot names lol) it’s actually pretty easy just stay in front of it and shoot it really easy tame on mobile use any crops took me about 15 minutes
Get a parausar and go under it it won't hit you and won't get away also only works if there's one bronto
Just look for cliff such that it can't reach you & tranq it, you have a bronto
I actually found a nice lvl 90 and tamed it. Turns out, even in the wild, they do a lot of damage. It nearly killed my kangaroo.
If you had only one word to describe a bronto it would most definitely be Lag
How to tame bronto:
1- find big rock or cliff where it can't reach
2- get many narco arrows about 200
3- have full crossbow, don't use it, you'll need full durability
4- shoot it, try to aim for head if he's close enough, if not shoot body.
5- when he falls over load him with berries, use iguanadon, trike, parasaur, or other herbivores to gather berries and give them to your soon to be your big friend, always be careful for enemies, whether it's carnivores or just humans. Hope this helped.
Don't stand on them while taming. If he tames and stands he will launch you in the air...
This beast can be a pain to tame, however it is very worth it. Follow this guide for an easier time.
1. Depending on its level prepare 25 to 100 tranq arrows. If you can afford tranq darts, they will be faster and damage it less
2. There are 2 main ways you can tame this, with a trap, or on foot. On foot requires much less resources but is harder, while using a trap has virtually no risk, but requires lots of stone and wood. Pick whichever is best for you
3. If on foot, I recommend starting from on a cliff where it can’t hit you, DONT move unless it runs too far away to shoot, because if it isn’t torpor running, and it realizes it can hit you, it will run back, and try to hit you. This is much easier with a fast mount you can dismount, shoot, run, repeat. Leveling move speed can also make this much easier
4. If you use a trap, I recommend a 3 by 3 stone box with ramps leading into will be much easier to get it into, and once it is in, just shoot it until it is out.
5. For food, Mejia are the best option for your first bronto because it’s unlikely you can make exceptional kibble. They also work well for a low level. If you are taming a high level, I recommend exceptional kibble if you have it, because it will save you several levels
6. Depending on the food and the level, this tame can take multiple hours, and in my experience rexes and other dangerous creatures often spawn where brontos do, so make sure to protect it, or keep it out of render so it does not get eaten, or lose lots of levels from being hit.
Happy taming!
P.S. I’m going to make an in depth taming guide for every creature in ark, so look for more, I have already done one for the diplo and graptor, so please check those out, and if any are helpful, raise them to the sky, so it helps more people. All my tips will end in Happy taming!
Docile Dino.. just don't piss it off
Bronto, dude, you are a killing machine. This thing has so much health and power. This will make you ark life easier.
Suggested to only tame during double xp and taming events. These guys can be a Pain to tame.
I was lvl 35 then a lvl 162 stuck in 4 rocks tamed her and named her samilia im lvl 61 now with a lvl 367 bronto. she is basically a titanosaur lol
Step 1:find one
Step 2:have a shoot tranquilizeing darts
Step 3:get a stegosaurus
Step 4:get berries with your stegosaurus
Step 5:give the brontosaurus berries
I tried to take a bronto yesterday and it killed me three times. These things are killing machines when you kill them though. I guarantee that it will change your arm experience. Make sure you get a lot of tranq arrows and a lot of berries. And do not let him fall in the ocean. It will kill him fast.
Fun fact: You can avoid brontos tail swipe, if it swipe to the right then run to the left, if opposite go to the right.
I tamed all my brontos by using this method
Ups so noobs can see
It's SOOOOOOOO easy all you need to do is make a stone tower with swirly stiars 15 walls tall stand on top and shoot with 200 tranquil arrows put a Smithy up there with matrices to repair crossbow make sure to have at least 2 exceptional kibble i tamed a 150 bronto that way.
If you have a tamed one with a saddle and need to get down safely, wait for them to eat (or force feed them) then quickly run to their head and you have a slide down to the ground. 👍
I recommend Taming a low level Bronto earlie game even if you don't have the saddle. Just get up on a hill where they can't get you and shout it with tranqu arrows until it's knocked out. Then feed it berries and... You have a gigantic beast of destruction! HAVE FUN WITH YOUR NEW BRONTO!
If you have a tapejara you can hover above them and shoot the from the back seat of the saddle. Makes it super easy to tame just saying
To Tame Simply Get to a high Place where the bronto can’t reach you, preferably a steel cliff, if your taming a low level bronto it can range from about 20 arrows to 150 arrows, (tranq Arrows) you can tame them very easily at herbivore island because there’s no Carniovers and there’s Steep cliffs, there is also quite an abundance of bronto there as well, if your taming a high level bronto you might need something else then Tranq arrows
