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.
If there’s one near a cliff just get Tranq arrows and you can tame an easy bronto
(Tip: try to do it in a place that has a lot of bushes so you can pick berries well it’s knocked out and you can try to tame something else since the bronto will take a while to tame)
Pretty much just make a stone cage, similar to the giga pen, but without the bear trap. Bring a ton of arrows/darts. Even starters can tame this easily.
All you need is full hide armour your crossbow and 30 tranqs to knock out a level 1 found a 2 lvl 40 tranqs
My bronto took three hours to tame
Go to a high ledge and it should be simple. Use a trike to get carrots as it isn't too difficult or just use mejos.
For me on day 15 of my solo server I tamed one. I’d say these are early game tames but ofc I didn’t have the platform saddle. Basically I got a pteranodon and a ton of tranq arrows. (I’m on Pc btw) I flew just out of the attack range and shot the bronto (I waited 5…
For me on day 15 of my solo server I tamed one. I’d say these are early game tames but ofc I didn’t have the platform saddle. Basically I got a pteranodon and a ton of tranq arrows. (I’m on Pc btw) I flew just out of the attack range and shot the bronto (I waited 5 seconds between shots). Eventually he passed out. What I ended up doing is heavily scouting around for raptors, dilos, etc. I only used I think 5 narco berries. You can probably use less.
Only can use behemoth doors!
Shoot it with tranqs but don’t tame a bronto near another bronto it’s terrifying when there multiple angry sauropods
It didn’t take 500 berries don’t waste your time picking berries just get 250
Place a stone foundation, then pile up two doorframes on each side, go inside and shoot at the bronto with tranqs :)
Do not attack a bronto near your base, it will cause massive damage to your entire base and kill all your low level dinos before you can take it out.
A tip make a stone foundation and 3 stone walls and 5 stone door Frames. Place the foundation make a way to go in then place stone wall now place a door Frame on top on every stone wall brontosaurus can't damage stone. Now just do inside and start shooting with trank…

Now just do inside and start shooting with trank arrows. Easy tame I take a lvl 290 with this method.
To tame you want about 10-20 stacks of 100 berries and 200 narco to get those get a trike( triceratops) those are great for harvesting. Here are a few steps

1. Get trank arrows and a bow. Use a bow because you won’t need many arrows if it is less than lvl11 plus an crossbow takes to long to reload
2. Shoot is a ton it will pass out don’t worry
3. Fill it with berries
4. Get a saddle
Have a HUGE HERO THAN IS HUGE
if this was helpful please up, I used this method for 2 brontosaurus and I haven’t lost a single one.

I just tamed my first one earlier today that was right by my base and it took less then a minute (Thank the Dino gods) In summary for people who want a quick taming though:
1. Get it on low health so it’s food goes down, probably make some dangerous Dino chase you and accidentally hit it and fight it (Mine fought something before I hit it with a bunch of tranq arrows so it only took about a minute or two to tame)
2. Get as many arrows as you need plus some extra just in case and start shooting it! (I died doing this but as I said it was next to my base so no problem)
3. You’ll want to put as many berries in as possible, you should probably stock up before you tame it (Good thing about having Parasaurs and trikes before hand is they can get heap of berries quickly)
4. Just wait and bam you got your self a nice bro to ready to defend your base!
If you’re taming a max level one, you have so much time. Like SEVEN HOURS
I heard these are a very slow tame so grab a looooooot of berries.
Git to a high place that the Brontosaurus can not hit you and then use 50 to 60 tranq arrows
One time I tamed one when I was at lvl 20 something or whatever lvl you get tranq arrows and no cheats but I shot one with a tranq arrow ran back pretty far shot it again and did that over and over until i got it knocked out and thats how I tamed a very low lvl bronto at a very…

Just tamed a level 145 of these beasts, once fully tamed and a few upgrades, it already has more health than a tamed giga. Add that to its crazy weight, good damage, and platforming abilities, and you’ve got yourself a giga killing machine. Only took 100 tranq arrows to knock…
Just tamed a level 145 of these beasts, once fully tamed and a few upgrades, it already has more health than a tamed giga. Add that to its crazy weight, good damage, and platforming abilities, and you’ve got yourself a giga killing machine. Only took 100 tranq arrows to knock out without a trap. Easy tame.
If you have a wooden base and lead the bronto to it you’re base is gonna be rekt
And recommend you are like lvl 60-70 use crossbow with tranq darts simple to make hope this helped!
a good trap to make is one stone foundation with three walls and a doorframe on the bottom and 4 door frames without doors in them on top of the first walls with a roof on top of the door frames. when the bronto comes after you, jump up and shoot it until it starts torpor…
a good trap to make is one stone foundation with three walls and a doorframe on the bottom and 4 door frames without doors in them on top of the first walls with a roof on top of the door frames. when the bronto comes after you, jump up and shoot it until it starts torpor running. then you leave the 1x1 and chase it down until you knock it out
