Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a giganotosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a giganotosaurus.
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!
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
You need to tame giga 4 metal gates,1or2 large bear traps longneck rifle better to not use primitive use ramshackle to ascendant longneck use tranq darts better use shocking tranq darts bring 400 to1000 bio toxin depending on your decision use more bio toxin if higher level use for mobile players quetzal kibble with x15 balm the fastest or x10 balm for normal taming boost or minor soothing balm for small boost for pc players use extraordinary kibble or mutton or prime meat wait and keep an eye on unconsciousness bar and here you go you tamed your own giga
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
Prepare yourself first. Bring tranq darts or arrows more than is recommended on dododex, I learnt this when my tranq darts ran out for a lvl 55 giga after shooting more than 300 tranq darts although I did miss a few. Also use a high tier bow or longneck and bring at least 400 narcotics.
Don't forget to trap it, they are extremely fast and don't chase them too close if they manage to escape your trap when they are nearly knocked out.
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
TO THE GUY THAT SAID METAL SIGNPOSTS WORK, IT JUST WALKS RIGHT OVER THEM.
f for my argy
It takes about 5000 stone and 125 slingshots to knock one out
Anyone up to the challenge vote u
Easiest way to knock them out is with a Tapejara and a friend. One flies, one shoots tranq darts out of a longneck rifle. Bring way more darts then dododex says, bring kibble and at least 400-500 Narcotics no matter the level.

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!
Make a club. Find one hit it with the club untill it is unconscious. Put mejoberys in its inventory. And wait shouldn’t take that long to tame.
Boom now you have your do- oh wrong page
Don’t tame it with tape if ur using arrows tape are slow and giga are insanely fast its like tame a spino with normal bow on foot without traps
I knocked one out with a HUGE amount of froggo’s I started with 35 frogs all level 100-150 and by the time he fell I had 4 frogs one ^ is a frog memory!
I have tamed my first Giga. Two of my eagles died in the process and I died several times myself. However, after two hours I was finally redeemed and my very first giga was tamed. I have never been so happy in this game. (700h)
I didn't have a name right after taming. I wanted to think of one on the way home. My path ran along the northern beach.
After 300-400m, less than 30 seconds later, I ran straight into the arms of a lvl 4 Giga.
I've rarely been as shocked as I was at that moment.
I tried everything to turn my giga around quickly. However, it had a turning circle of what felt like three trucks...
Rip Giga without a name
I've never been so broken.
I still can't believe this story...
-Four metal gateways and large bear trap
-four longnecks and ton of tranq darts
-100 narcotics if you don't use soothing balm and quetzal kibble 20 is enough if u use
-bed
Place three metal gateways the a large bear trap in the middle lure the giga in then quickly place the third gateways tranq then feed it (tip :if you're having trouble finding a giga start the hunt giga pursuit and it will give you location of the giga)
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!
