Tips & Strategies
I tested on a giga lvl 1 and tamed it. Not hard as what I think.
On mobile, just go near to the end of the river(between 2 mountains and close to the sea). Giga is stupid and will stuck between the icebergs and just stand on a really tall iceberg and far from the giga. Shoot it(I used 2 crossbows(about 300 ammo) and 1 longneck(about 20 ammo)) and it will flee (can't escape, will stuck). When it's knocked out. Dont think about anything else just open it's inventory and bring lot of biotoxins or narcotics(will just increase a little, but protect the torpor from the crazy drop).
What you need ro prepare:
Bring more ammo: (if you need 300 to knock it out bring more(about 20% more)) because of it's fast torpor drop. And bring more weapon (in case if 1 of the weapon break)
Need trap: use trap or it will flee and lose almost all of its torpor.
Clear all creatures around it: so they wont kill tou when you dismount and open the giga's inventory (I lost 1 chace and the giga awaked because a rex)
Sometimes PURLOVIA IS THERE: kill that thing first before taming the giga (it can dismount you and you will be giga's food)
Bring a good flyer:
Petra: fast but low health and stam
Argy: high stam but slow and low health
Tape: GECHO ABILITY, medium stam, not slow and not fast either, but low health
Quetzal: high health, high stam and health, fast, but when dismount the rider can fall and some ammo might hit the quetzal
I think that's all from my experience
Thanks for reading and sorry if it's too long
Probably taming it isn't too hard. But too knock it out, you will need about 150 tranq arrows(crossbow) for lvl 1. For the trap (I didn't use metal gates because I was low lvl :3) Just go to the end of a river between 2 mountains, it won't drown (even a Rex just diving around and still alive). Giga will trapped there if it's fall to the little lake and flee, it can't even escape from a flat ground(after the lake) so just land with tape or quetz on a big iceberg and shoot it and that area probably safe(still must look around)and bring soothing balm(I use 1 with 3 raw meat and it's tamed :>) and don't forget the torpor, it will drop like the waterfall
That's all I guess and thanks for reading the tip
Becareful! Giga Still Can Escape The Metal dinosaur gates somehow
Tame about 200 pachy with 300% melee for under lvl 60 gigantonosaurus
