Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a brontosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a brontosaurus.
I tamed one in about 10 mins on herbi island. 5 mins of spamming tranq arrows and 5 of feeding it carrots with a minor soothing balm. Pretty easy tame for mobile. (Easy mode single player bc I'm too lazy to grind xp or sit round for 20 hrs watching a bronto tame 0.001% at a time)
The starve taming timer is way off and so is the 16000 food it needs to be at, its way less and way longer than the 22minute starve timer! That needs to be fixed.
Taming one of these early on (the second you get tranq arrows and high enough speed stat) is suchhhh a game changer.
Knockout tame crossbow/bow with tranq to tame mejoberry to tame this giant.
In the new mobile ark game it takes 3 trans darts to knock out very low level

How to tame: Bronto.
You will need: 50 tranq arrows, (sometimes you miss, and it's better to be safe than sorry) A flyer (a pteranodon will do) a bronto that spawned where they're is a high rock or cliff, where the bronto can't reach you and a crop plant of your choice. (If you just got two, use both, fifty of each.) Step 1: gather your stuff. Step 2: Get on your flyer and fly to the high rock or cliff, and land on it. (If it's a high rock, make sure its big enough so you can dismount and move a little bit.) Step 3: get your tranq arrows ready, and scan the area for danger. (Rexes, allo pack, spinos, basically anything that could harm you unconsious bronto.) Step 4: Shoot one tranq arrow at the bronto and get it's attention. Repeat until unconsious. Step 5: hop down. You should be at full health, and the fall damage won't kill you. Step 6: shove the crops in the bronto's inventory, and let it tame. Step 7: If your flyer is on a tall rock, whistle for it to follow and get it down. You can just whistle "follow all" and it'll come down. once its down, whistle "stop all", and mount it. if it's on a cliff, get up there and mount it. if you can't find a way up, repat the steps for high rocks. Do this if you need to make a quick getaway. if your flyer can't hover for long, just go back on the high rock/cliff, and wait until the bronto is tamed. Step 8: once the bronto is tamed, whistle "stop all" and fly back to your base. Step 9: request the bronto to your base, and name it. Step 10: If you're at lvl 63, you unlock the bronto saddle. if you tamed this at lvl 63+, i reccomend unlocking this engram. Once you get tame bronto, target your tamed bronto. You'll get the rewards! Please ^ if this was helpful!!!
Safely knock out way:
1. If you have argy go land on their back and yes you can and keep shoot tranq it down
2. If you have beezlebufo jump on their back and tranq
Stand under it it can't hit you
Really easy tame don’t need stone cage as you only need about 50 shots or 125 to the body
Their super easy to tame knock it out and give it a bunch of mejoberies and leave ark it tames on its own it’s torpor go’s super low
they are kinda easy just make a mejoberry farm and then get 100 and then get a crossbow and 70 tranq arrows I tamed mine at level 30
I am taming a level 2, I knocked it out with tranq arrows, all you need is a relatively fast mount that you can shoot off of. I used a Bart, which I tamed when I was level 21 (as soon as I got tranq arrows) I looked at Dododex, and I did not believe you should tame a high level one with tranq arrows
I used an iguanadon to help run from it whilst tranquing it is a really valuable tame.
I tamed a Bronto lvl 12 with 50/60 tranq arrows and 80 rockcarrorts + 40/50 Berries and I used no narcotics at all! I recommend using a pteranodon to get to a high place near the bronto. or flying away when it gets closer if there are no hills as you shoot it, aim for the head preferably. This worked for me it may not work for everyone
If yyou want to tame a bronto really fast first knock with tranw toxicant or whatever then dont feed it anyting (works for mobile idk bout other)then sleep next to it the hunger goes down quite alot also remember to sleep next to it for the hunger to go down then give it a balm 10x then put mejo berry(the purple berry ) itcwill be tamed in an instant
If you are going too knock out I would highly recommend using a cross bow.
When you have it knocked out and you don't feel like waiting just sleep through the tame but don't forget to check though like if this helped
Ride on a Mount that you can shoot from, and that is fast enough to escape it, simply shoot it once, hop on your Mount Ride away, shoot till it is knocked out, place spike walls around it, grab some mejos and you have a super slow, but super good Berry collector, go to ferns click a couple Times and you have tons of food, he is also great for narcoberries
I’m at lvl 24. Always wanted a bronto. BEAUTIFUL female outside my base just far enough it won’t kill me pets. Should I? Btw she is dark stone gray with a evergreen underbelly and hunches
If you have a high speed, you can shoot it with a dart and run away, get enough distance to reload, then shoot again and repeat
