Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a brontosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a brontosaurus.
Here’s how you knock these big boys out.
Step 1:you tame the dolphin shark thing that’s a passive tame (they eat meat)
Step 2: you get at least 10 more tranqs than Dododex says (in case yah miss)
Step 3: get dolphin shark thing saddle
Step 4: go of the edge of the huge drop off in the ocean on yah dolphin shark thing
Step 5: start shooting
This method ensures that the bronto won’t attack you when you start shooting it. I’ve used it before and am currently taming a lvl 17. Don’t worry about megs, from what I can tell, they don’t attack you if you’re riding the dolphin shark thing, I sat right next to one on mine (sorry Fire Fin). Mantas won’t attack either.
Go on a mountain it then shoot some tranq arrow as the. Feed Meo berries up if it worked
When I had this big guy outside my base I could tame it I had meat,berrys,a bat and a saddle so I went for it and tamed it!
It was awesome.i called him king of all Dinos!

Slingshot/tranq arrows on a high rock and its an easy early tame. Just have like 100 berries. And slaughters turtles and trikes.
Go's from lol 1 to 121 (normal berries) with no narcotics
Bronto max torpor is 2480% for lvl 5 dont know if they all the same
With a kangaroo or pteranadon ( that's all I've tried) you can go under its belly and stop a wild bronto from walking
Be warned this animal should only be attempted to tame with a level player and lots of tranc arrows high chance of death with unexpirenced players
Why knock this guy out when you can just install a mod that let’s you pet them?
(But first give them a bait.)
DO NOT TAME IN OR BY WATER. once their torpidity gets low enough, they will run away. When taming my first, I used 50 tranq arrows and finally got it and then it ran into water and drowned. RIP Brenton the brontosaurus.
When on a equus have tranq arrows like all lot do this
1:shoot
2: run
3: repeat this till it’s tranqed
Bronto has a lot of hp i used a pick it dod not even work
Build a one square rock house with 3 window walls and one doorway and a ceiling - all rock - and a reinforced door , aggro the brontosaurus by shooting it with a tranq arrow / dart and then run into the small rock house, it will try to hit you but won’t be able to and you can keep on shooting it from the windows , it will start to run away with it’s about to be knocked out so chase it and put 3-4 more arrows into it to knock it down, then fill it’s inventory up with mejoberries , ive takes 3 this way , any other way ends up with me dying
What I did was I took some arrows a crossbow and since they spawn near my base I’ve been able to knock it out from near my home while on a high level deinonychus it’s really not that hard just don’t knock it out while it’s on water (learnt taht the hard way) and make sure there’s no rexes near
An easier way of taming bronto is by getting it stuck on a cliff and shooting it about 8 to 12 tranq arrows in the body. This should also take about 10 to 15 minuites to do. Last thing is that they will eat any berry apart from narcoberries.
I tamed a trek Parasaur and it’s my only Parasaur. It died tying to tame a bronto. My tribe mates where doing something else so I tried to tame this beast by my self
If you have god console lvl up bronto. It starves the bronto (or other animal) and lvls them up! Win win.
Find a HUGE ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Watch that tail, even if you didn't aggro the bronto that tail has a massive hit range, I think it can also hit someone from four levels up (4 walls tall) with its tail, so best keep your distance when taming.
