Quick answer:<\/strong> To tame a Brontosaurus in ARK Survival Ascended you knock it out with tranquilizer darts or arrows from a spot its tail cannot reach and feed it Exceptional Kibble or, if you have none, Archelon Algae, vegetables or berries. A level 150 Bronto needs 54 Exceptional Kibble and about 55 minutes at official 1x rates; on Tharyon, with 8x taming, 7 kibble and roughly 7 minutes are enough.<\/p>\n

The Brontosaurus is one of the biggest herbivores in ARK. It has massive health, its tail hits in a wide arc and with the platform saddle it becomes a mobile base you can build on. It is a good gatherer and a very durable tank.<\/p>\n

How to tame a Brontosaurus step by step<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Gather lots of food: even with Exceptional Kibble it needs quite a bit, and with berries a huge amount.<\/li>\n
  2. Find a safe spot: a high cliff, a closed structure or a flyer that keeps you above it.<\/li>\n
  3. Shoot it in the head with tranquilizer darts or arrows. If you attack from the air, come in from behind the head.<\/li>\n
  4. Never fight next to it on foot: its stomps and tail deal huge damage.<\/li>\n
  5. Once it is asleep, add only the chosen food and protect it from carnivores while it tames.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    These numbers come from ARK’s taming formula for a level 150 Brontosaurus. The 1x column is the official rate and the 8x column is Tharyon’s rate. They are estimates: hitting the sleeping creature or a game patch can change them slightly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

    A level 150 Brontosaurus has about 19880 torpor. With the amounts in the table you usually do not need narcotics on Tharyon, but bring a few in case it takes longer than expected.<\/p>\n

    Where to find the Brontosaurus in ARK Ascended<\/h2>\n

    It usually travels alone or in small groups, feeding on treetops or wandering along beaches. Its long neck sticks out above the trees, so you can see it from very far away.<\/p>\n
