Just found out something really useful about Brontos! You can use them to transport goods a long way, but sometimes you have more than the bronto can carry, so, if you pack your resources on something like a high level parasaur or iguanodon, and put it on the platform saddle, it only takes the Dinos drag weight, not resource weight, allowing you to carry tons of materials at half the weight!

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. PLEASE READ

Tip : Don't put wooden / metal spike walls near your base if you live in an area with a lot of sauropods.

this is why : since they like to wander around, There's a chance that they will get stabbed by the spikes when they wander near your base. And they will get mad at you, kill your tames, and wreck your base.

so please be careful and think twice before setting up spikes near your base.

thank you for reading.

Idk how in the world I managed to tame one of these this way but here’s how I did it

- hit the bronto to get its attention

- go up on cliff where it can’t reach you

- shoot it with a sling shot till it runs away from you

- chase it down hitting its legs with a club (and dying a few times in the process)

- once knocked out give it soothing balm and some berries

- be amazed how fast it tames (around 1 minute, normally takes 20-30 minutes but depends on the level)

Now you have a big buddy :)

How to tame a bronto!

This beast is imposing, and has a powerful attack. But tamed, it has many uses. First, we should tame them. Let’s prepare!

Brontos are giant, powerful herbivores, towering over the annoying diplos. They are mainly found on the many beaches, but there can be found surely on a few spawns in the southern islets and the middle of the southern jungle.

The materials:

A few hundred tranqs with a crossbow. Use Dododex, and better safe than sorry!

Some narcs, but their torpor drops slowly.

A cliff or tapejara.

Some crossbows and a mount, best be a flyer.

Method:

You need to stand on the tapejara whistled on follow. Face away from the bronto, change to the back seat, and shoot until it is sleeping.

Also, you can call the bronto’s attention from a cliff and shoot.

Remember, watch out for carnivores. These could kill you, your mount, and the bronto!

Utility:

It can gather tons of berries.

It carries a lot, and can have a platform with a small base.

It can yeet stuff into oblivion.

It has a lot of health, best for tanking.
