Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a giganotosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a giganotosaurus.
I have actually tried using a slingshot on a giga to knock it out. It broke, so I had to repair it many times. It took over 1k rocks-
I see way to meany people use narcotics to keep things asleep,USE FLIPPING BIOTOXIN! It gives 80 torpor and doesn’t do damage, narcotics do 40
When you've found a suitable level Giga, find a tall cliff/ledge to shoot from. If stuck on flat land, turn to a platformed Quetz or th backseat of a Tapejara to shoot off of. I recommend to have two or more tribe mates on this tame.
With the proper technique, it's a long, but easy tame ;
1rst step : tame a scorpion, or arthropleura from within the caves (really important)
Imprint the MD as much as possible, until you'd find the gigano
Use the not-an-insect-even-though-every-one-say-they're-bugs, to attack the big one (he won't agro on you, unless you dismount)
Between each attacks, wait few seconds, until he'd recove 1hp
After a long while, he's knocked out, just bring him food... & Narcotics 👍
The giga's torpor will be going down insanely fast, I tried to tame one with a crossbow with 100+ tranq arrows, when I come up to it with a magnifying glass the torpor was 0 .
Hatching a giga egg in an incubator with full boost is simple. Use 44 heat. IT WILL WORK.
I just tamed one and got freakin scared out of my face!!! The good news is she only killed me once . . . Note to self: GIGAS APPARENTLY HAVE A HITBOX THE SPAN OF 200000000 MILES.
they make big chompy chompy and eat everything
I already tamed an giga at lv 78 and the tip was just get lots of tranquilizing darts and when he runs get into an area where he will get stuck while running and that's it easy tame. Btw be on top of an area that's above the length of him.
I recommend using the hunt giga pursuit to find one and tame it, without using the pursuit I had looked around for about a week and wasn’t able to find one. So if you don't want to spend forever trying to find one, use the pursuit
Bring double the amount of arrows or darts Dododex tell you to bring
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.
As babies they will eat a lot! So get a lot of meat .like plz
Use atleast 4 metal dinosaur gateways (i would suggest 5-6 just in case) place 3 in a formation where the giga can walk in and you can place the last one behind it while it is stuck in a bear trap that u can place in the middle of it.
I have 8 of these beauties! 6 females and 2 males, about 4 of those I two man tamed with a buddy. The rest all 6 tribe members were there. If you don't feel like gathering the materials for a trap. (We've only trapped one of these out of the 8) Get a quetzal with a platform saddle and have one person fly and the other shooting with tranq arrows or tranq darts constantly because there torpor goes down quick. It's not super hard. We've even tamed one underwater LOL. Good luck! Be warned you can lose your quetzals or any other tamed animals if you aren't careful! We've lost about 5 quetzal's and a rex in the process of just one giga. When you knock it down stay on it. Shoot 100 narcotics in it once it hits the 50-75% mark on its torpor. People who don't watch it's torpor or keep pumping narcotics into it when it starts dropping are the ones that deal with the "the giga will wake up on full torpor" myth. It's unlikely it will if you know what you're doing. Take my advice! Happy taming!
This is one of very few dinosaurs we like to call an inverted torpor dinosaur. By this we mean that it's torpor goes down faster than it goes up, you will wait longer for it to go up than down thats why you should let the torpor drop really low then pump it with a large quantity all in one go, this will give you the time to let it tick up allowing you to do other things while you wait.
To the guy who lost his job and his girlfriend I feel you but my giga has 1,100 melee it 2 shots some brontosaurus
Just dont try it unless prepared
Bring friends to help with flying while you dangle from the argy
