ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
If you want this weapon of mass destruction I’ll give tips:
You’ll need:
-A trap bc this thing is actually hard to hit without a trap.( I used 4 metal gates but any trap that’s big enough works)
-Your KO weapon(it doesn’t have to be a longneck, crossbow worked fine)
Now you know what you’ll need, let’s get to taming.
1. find a giga.
Gigas are basically ONLY found in mountains or snow and you’ll know it when you see one.(they are bronto-sized rexes)
2. Set up the trap.
A preferred place to set the trap is on any sort of flat ground, lead the giga in. If it doesn’t get stuck, the trap doesn’t work or you’re just skill issue.
3. KO the giga.
This should be easy but will take awhile. Don’t stop shooting because it’s torpor drops fast.
4. Feed it.
You can starve it or give it prime(don’t ask where raw meat went)it’s up to you, give it 100 biotoxin when it’s on low torpor and you’re set.
Now you have machine of death. It wasn’t that hard wasn’t it?

I've tamed hundreds of giga. This "IS" the best trap.
As for everything else, bring 2x the amount of supplies that you think you will need.
I had a giga glitch on me once and instead of just the 87 shocking tranqs, it took the 100 tranq arrows I happened to have on me...flew back to my base got 400 more and put 200 more tranq arrows into it. Enjoy your new Giga!
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 😊
WILD = 80,000 hp
TAMED = 18,000 hp
I'll say no more.....
I was looking to metal to make a saddle then I said to my brother “i am going to tame a giga” as a joke. Not even 10 seconds later a level 55 giga came into view. KEEP IN MIND WE ARE ONLY LEVEL 40!! We are gonna tame it tomorrow with arrows since we don’t have tranq darts😂 wish us luck!
Update from last time:
Sadly black pearl died, I lost stam so I was resting on a hill when the giga (10 for sure) sprinted over and killed us.
Now, I have the trap and the arrow.
The giga’s gonna be mine soon.
Also, I have a question:
On the island where do high level pts spawn? Unrelated but very hard to find 130+ pts really
Many a tribe have been foolish enough to think they could fight a wild giga with a tamed and ended up with a dead giga. Don't be them.
Make 4 metal dino gates and 1 large bear trap. Place three frames and door into an incomplete square and the large bear trap in the I between them. Lure the Giga into the trap and while its trapped place 4th down to make the square. Then just light it up with tranqs
I 100% recommend charging straight on a Giga with a wooden club, you won’t regret it.
Just lure into a metal gate set ups some plant Xs and it will knock out you welcome
I went to the blue obelisk when one of these beasts appeared. I saw that… it was a 10 or a 110 or 1 level I don’t know. I was so scared I just flew as far possible with my 187 pt black pearl. Now I have 1 trike 2 rexes 1 argy and 1 theri plus anky and all those stuff. I have its trap and I have the crossbow. Tomorrow I’m gonna see the level if it’s worth taming. If it isn’t I’ll drown it if yes I will tame it. I have metal gateways and a 10 soothing balm (I’m in mobile). If anyone sees this I have a few questions:
If it’s a low level would it be worth it? Like level 15?
How do I drown it?
Last but not least: HOW FAST WOULD ANOTHER ONE RESPAWN?????????
Wish me luck!
