Tips & Strategies
a few things about argentavis:
advantages:
1. they are super useful as they have a 50% weight reduction on metal,crystal and obsidian
2. they can pick up medium sized dinos like the parasaur or raptor
3.whenever they eat corpses,they get a rapid regeneration that heals them fast as heck
disadvantages:
1:found in arctic and mountain areas which are both dangerous
2: flys slow
3:their saddle unlocks at lvl 62
i spent a lot of time writing this

I thought they wanted only meat I didn’t it was fish so then I came to this app then I found out they eat fish but I was too late it died 🤦♂️🤦♂️
The mammoth already has a platform saddle in ark mobile but you have to buy the engram with real money. help convince wildcard to add it into all versions of ark fully including ark mobile for free!!! Help start the petition revolution!!!!
If you tame this creature outside a cave(especially revival tame etc.)Creatures on every cave will still argo you, if you want to be ignored and be vulnerable(unless u don't attack any of them) against cave creatures/caves, tame a araneo/arthroupleura inside a cave, once you've tamed it, no cave creatures will attack you(unless you won't attack them). idk if this work on pc, but works on mobile for me.:v
The things you need to tame a giga:-
1)Flyer (recommending an argy).
2)4-5 dinosaur metal gateways.
3)1-2 large bear traps.
4)10x soothing balm if your playing on mobile.
5)Your KO weapon (most recommended are ascendant longneck rifle or ascendant crossbow).
6)Your KO ammo (bring a decent amount).
7)Taming food of your choice (most recommended is raw prime meat or kibble if you can).
8)Decent amount of narcotics or bio toxin.
FIND GIGA: gigas usually spawn at mountains. On the island try looking around the volcano or the two mountains in the snow area.
SET YOUR TRAP: take 3 of your metal gateways and make this shape \_/ then put a large bear trap or 2 in the middle. It’s easier if you build the trap on flat ground.
TRAP THE GIGA: get the giga to follow you and make it go inside the trap, then make sure it’s caught in the bear trap. When it’s stuck in the bear trap go behind it and complete the trap with another gateway. The final shape of the trap looks like a Trapezoidal.
KO THE GIGA: even a low level giga has a lot of torpor and it drops fast so keep shooting no matter what. It’s recommended for a tribe-mate to help you.
START FEEDING: put the food in the giga’s inventory and keep an eye on it’s torpor.
I hope this was helpful 😊
They're pretty easy to take.
Get an underwater tame. I highly recommend the Basilosaurus, as the jellyfish + squid + eels can't knock you off or stun you.
Head to the underwater trenches and reefs near the far left side of the Fjordur map, turtles will be everywhere.
If possible, get a Tek Helmet and activate the sonar down there near the ocean floor. This will detect a school of fish for you.
When you find one, agro them and lead them to your Meacheron. They'll de-agro on you and begin following the turtle, and this will start your tame.
(Be sure to protect them from Megalodon, Ichty and Coecalanth)
As a mobile player I feel the pain of never being able to tame this do to it needing griffin kibble we the ARK mobile players DEMAND a change we want to tame them with carrots like play station players can

The fun way is to jump off and grapple to your argie and whistle it to attack and since argies are slow it won’t catch up in time so tranq till it goes out also bring parachutes and consider liking so more people will know
Since it seems like nobody knows what this does:
-It poops massive poops, the largest poops you’ll ever find.
-It’s a temporary tame since it can’t eat, so it dies from hunger.
-It’s the strongest Dino, and the best way to tame is putting cannons on quetzals and flying far enough it can’t reach you and you can still shoot it. Once it’s unconscious putting the saddle in its inventory will instantly tame it.
-On ark mobile, if you do the kill giga quest, you get a free titanosaur platform saddle.
-Although it’s tempting to build huge bases on it, since it’s a temporary tame it’s not worth it to try super big bases.
A handy guide to utility tames:
Achatina- Mainly found in swampy areas. Tame with sweet veggie cake. After tame, produces lots of CP and Org Poly when set to wander.
Anglerfish- found in deep oceans, the anglerfish is relatively hard to tame. It doesn’t require a saddle, and gathers huge quantities of silica pearls
Anky- Found in a plethora of different places. Look in snow, mountain, jungle, desert, etc. A relatively easy knockout tame, the anky is wonderful at gathering metal.
Argentavis- Found in mountains, snow, or desert biomes mainly. Another relatively easy tame, reduces weight for many useful materials. With high weight capacity, they are useful for transporting items or creatures. They also have a smithy in their saddle. Also, on a sadder note, Dilos got into my breeding buIdling and killed my best female 😢
Beelzebufo- Found in swamps mainly. A very easy tame, can gather cementing paste from insects.
Castoroides- Found in swampy areas, some snow biomes, and rivers/lakes. Not the easiest tame, but not to hard. When tamed, they gather wood like a pro! They have a smithy saddle.
Direbear- Found in redwoods and snow biomes. Lives alongside dangerous creatures, making it tricky to tame, but once tamed, it’s like a metal sickle that gathers 5x the fiber
Doedicurus- Found in redwoods, mountains, snow, desert, volcano. A relatively easy tame, although if it takes too much damage, it will roll up, drastically increasing the torpor it takes. Once tamed, it is a beast at gathering obsidian and stone
Dunkleosteus- Difficult tame thanks to its heavy armor. An oceanic tame, they are the anky/Doedic of the sea, gathering large amounts of metal and stone
Karkinos- found in Aberration and Val and CI and Genesis. in my opinion, these are utility tames. They are difficult to tame due to the fact that you can’t use normal tranquilizers. Once tamed, they can carry a maximum of two creatures. Carrying doedics or ankys in their claws can be a very efficient way to get metal.
Mammoth- Found in snow. Not too hard to tame, and gathers wood very effectively!
Moschops- found on beaches and forests. can harvest many different materials effectively. You can choose which materials your Moschops can harvest better
Quetzal-very hard tame, but doable, especially with a tribe. Has astounding weight and is great for transport!
Snow Owl- Easy knockout tame found in extinction snow biome. When tamed, can heal other creatures and is a great travel mount.
Therizinosaurus- Challenging tame found in jungles. Can gather wood, thatch and fiber quite well.
Thorny Dragon- Easy tame found in deserts. A good tame for gathering wood on SE, a map lacking many normal wood gatherers.
Hope u liked! Pls 🆙 the tip. Have a nice day! 😀
Just trap it in stone, get its health below 2000 using the charge lights and any weapon, (ascendant sniper works great) and once it’s below 2000, turn of lights, go close to it, it should grab you, (may take a while) and bam, your pregnant! Get as much Xp as possible, not using a mount, and make sure your in a small room when the baby comes out. They eat a TON. If I get 50 ups, I’ll make a giga tip. Thanks for reading!
This turkey is actually called "Pablo", I'll tell you about him:
He was a turkey like anyone else, but he saw his family being devoured by BOB from south zone 2, he started to cry, but a thought came: "stop crying you useless turkey!" So he decided to train and train until he was strong and took revenge for everything BOB did...
He trained day and night, and so he started to get strong, so Pablo took materials and made Tek armor and heavy weapons and went to BOB's house in the south zone 2..
So he went, broke into the house, breaking the door and then BOB activated god mode and locked him in with TEK structures and spawned 100,000 Giganotosaurus with Pablo 💀
F 😔
WILD = 80,000 hp
TAMED = 18,000 hp
I'll say no more.....
Who else feels that this should drop a sh!t ton of keratin or stone or something from the things on its back?
Easily the best tame for travel. Fastest creature in the game.
Amazing for wyvern eggs, just find an egg, use the maewing’s parachute ability to land near it, grab the egg and glide away. You’ll out-speed the wyverns in no time.
Because this is useful, you know what to click.
Why would I tame a megachelon just to get this? 💀
