ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
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!
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.
That’s it, if I get 30 arrows to the sky I will post one about giga and spino!
Steal it’s egg, get yeeted out of orbit
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

If you are getting chased by some dangerous dino then bronto could be your defender..just run under his legs fast as possible and watch the free battle against bronto vs the one you were chased by!!😁
step 1: find a bronto that is stabding next to a parge hill.
step 2:knock it out
step 3: feed it
step 4: name it
If you knock it out do not let it fall on you
Don’t touch giant blue eggs in the forest if you value existence
Narcotic Making Machine...build a Chemistry bench on your bronto and carry spoiled meat on it. Go berry gathering and get all narco berries. Start crafting for thousands of narcotics!!
I am the bronto taming guy and just so you know I post another on bronto and I just changed accounts.
It’s actually really easy to tame all you need to do is climb on a tall cliff then
Shoot it around 300 times with a slingshot or
30-50 times with a tranq arrow
Once it’s knocked out feed it a bunch of berries and within an hour or so it should be tamed
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.
Warning! Legs can look like tree trunks when farming wood with a Castorides. Brontos don't like things chewing their legs.
Here is how to tame a bronto:
Materials:
A few hundred tranq arrows with a primitive crossbow. Bring other crossbows just in case! Also BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY.
A flyer with a saddle of course.
A good bronto. Anything 45+ because it’s like doedics they farm a lot no matter the level.
Method 1
1. Find a cliff. Make sure it is high and wide enough.
2. Aggro a bronto and land on the cliff.
3. Shoot with tranq ammo remember to leave a 5 sc gap between shots.
Method 2
1. Whistle a tapejara on follow and switch seats above the bronto.
2. Proceed to knock the beast out.
Use mejoberries or crops to tame the bronto! Bring narcs just in case but I didn’t need any.
Utilities:
Absolute TANK survived Rex’s for 6 minutes.
Good defense Dino with outrageous knockback and AOE.
Currently the absolute best berry farmer in ark.
Enjoy your bronto!
sometimes, its hard to get off a bronto without taking fall damage, yes you can get off of the tail, but i have a better way, if you have a sinomacrops perhaps you can ride your bronto and have it on your shoulder, and when you get of the bronto quickly use the sinomacrops.
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 :)
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.

Get their egg and quit tried to a trike and worked
Prime Meat Gathering (In my world) tip:
1. Get a bronto, then get its platform saddle.
2. Build a small base with an industrial griller and other things that are useful.
3. Pair it with some large carnivores, like some rexes or gigas, and go to the badlands.
4. Command your team to attack enemies that drops prime meat upon deaths. Assist your team by riding your bronto and attack it, the higher the bronto, the stronger and tankier it is and better.
5. Gather your fallen enemies' corpse (Recommended using a Rex or Giga)
6. Get up on your platform saddle and turn on industrial griller (If want cooked) (NOTE: Please bring many gasolines for the industrial griller for cooked ones) or put in preserving bin (If want raw)
7. Enjoy your Prime Meats.
You're welcome. (No need to like :) )
