Never fight a wild giga with a tamed giga, a wild giga has 80,000 health and your tamed will usually be around 25,000 health. Also the wild giga will do more damage a bite and also has a health drain effect.
Oh so you want to kill it. It’s one of the most powerful wild creatures in ark. It has tons of health, hits like a MONSTER TRUCK, and easily murders everything. Oh how do you kill it then? Easy. Just lead it into water. Gigas can’t swim so it’ll just drown
I tamed this guy with low level pulmonos where’s my trophy?
I was playing on a nice multiplayer survee with nice people, I got a bronto, mutated blue wolf, eerie tapejara, and an argie. I join a tribe with someone and we go to his base (on the back of fars peak and right across from carnivore island) and one day I spawn in, and see one of my arges died, I'm like oh. It must have starved. That's sad. Then I look at the logs and see "your dodo has been killed by a giganotosaurus!" I instantly start panicking and I type in the chat about it. Everyone is curious. Low and behold I see a giant giga tail right next to my flimsy base with spike walls. It agros on me, and I start RUNNING. My bronto attacks it and the behemoths fight. My bronto's death was not in vein though. I had enough time to save 5 out of 17 dinos. I'd say that's pretty good compared to nothing. I still have their graves to this day.
So for taming a giga in mobile its too ez. There is a giga logic in mobile that it will not aggro on you if you are on a tame (any) and unless if you hurt them. So just use a argy, sit under its feet literally and put the metal gates around it and trap it. And then get a distance of atleast 30-40m and start tranqing it. BTW after trapping it, i will recommend to sleep then knock it out after waking bcz it will be starving due to trap logic (only works in mobile). Then put the balm and prime. Boom it will tame instantly due to starving and we dont need to get worried for its torpor drain. Thanks me later...

For the guy who says metal signposts don’t work that’s cuz you did the trap on a rock or on a slope. Place it in the clearest and flattest area possible.
That’s difficult when gigas live on top on peaks.
One suggestion if you do the bed trick BEFORE it’s knocked out it’s gonna cause huge food loss. Much more than starve or even doing the bed trick after knocking it out.
Run. Just run. RIP level 300 wyvren
The babies need a ridiculous amount of food. Had to commit genocide to make my little bastard a snack.
Apparently they live in mountains. All I wanted was some crystal...
If you see these things, place a bed and fast travel.
For people who can’t find gigas (mobile), go on the grass plain between griffin mountain and frozen tooth, tidy save and add it in your backup data.After that, roam around frozen tooth and you should see the giga.If you aren’t satisfied with the level/gender then go back to the backup and restore the save.When you go back to the spot where you find your first giga you should see a different one.Repeat until you find the right one
If you see this guy don't stand run for your life if he sees you don't run to your base
