After a successful mate, the Brontosaurus lays a fertilized egg.Incubation temperature must stay between 28°C and 31°C - use Air Conditioners, Standing Torches, or Dimetrodons to maintain the range.At the correct temperature, the egg hatches in approximately 4 hours and 59 minutes.

After hatching or birth, the baby Brontosaurus matures over an extremely long period, one of the longest in the game, reaching adulthood in about 3 days and 20 hours at 1x maturation.Hand-feeding is required until 10% maturation.After that, a Feeding Trough handles the rest.

Mutations can add +2 levels to any stat and change colors.Stacking mutations across generations is the key to min-maxed breeding lines.Use the breeding calculator to plan food requirements, incubation timers, and maturation phases.

Raising a baby Brontosaurus involves three maturation phases: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~556 min and requires constant hand-feeding.Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~37h - it can eat from a Trough now.Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~46h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.

Imprinting during maturation provides permanent stat bonuses.At 100% imprint, the Brontosaurus gains 30% bonus damage and resistance when ridden by the imprinter.You'll be asked to cuddle, walk, or feed specific kibble at regular intervals during maturation.

Planning a mass raise?The Brontosaurus raising calculator breaks down food needs per phase so nothing goes to waste.The Baby phase (0–10%) takes ~556 minutes and is the most hands-on, requiring direct feeding or a Maewing.

Raising multiple Brontosaurus simultaneously?Set the dino count and the calculator scales food requirements automatically.Match your food choice to your play schedule - longer spoil timers mean less babysitting.

Found throughout the ARKs, the Brontosaurus is a tamable, herbivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended.

At 2,070 base HP, the Brontosaurus is a proper tank.Dealing 100% base Melee Damage, the Brontosaurus brings respectable melee power to the table.Stamina sits at 240 base, providing decent staying power.A base Weight of 1600 means an enormous weight pool.

Taming the Brontosaurus requires rendering it unconscious first - use Tranq Arrows, Darts, or Shocking Tranq Darts to apply torpor.Feed it Exceptional Kibble for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.

Once tamed, the Brontosaurus is a practical workhorse - it can both gather and haul resources efficiently.It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between 28°C and 31°C.Defeating one in the wild grants 22 base XP.It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.79 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
