🦖 OFFICIAL GARGANTAR TAMING GUIDE (v924.1)
Unlike other Fantastic Tames, the Gargantar cannot be knocked out or passively fed from your hotbar. It utilizes a hidden "Digestive Submission" mechanic. Because it has the ability to swallow players whole, you must tame it from the inside out.
Step 1: The Naked Offering
The Gargantar refuses to swallow anyone wearing armor or carrying heavy weapons. You must strip completely naked. Place exactly 100 × Narcotics and 20 × Superior Kibble directly into your personal inventory slot (do not consume them).
Step 2: The Ingestion Phase
Find a wild Gargantar. Walk directly up to its mouth and use the "Surrender" emote (Hold t → Emotes → Surrender). This triggers its ambient AI to view you as easy prey. Wait for it to activate its "Swallow Whole" animation.
Step 3: Inside the Belly (The Tickle Trial)
Once swallowed, you will enter the Gargantar's stomach bay. You will begin taking minor torpor and acid damage. Do not panic.
• You must immediately equip a Torch or a Therizinosaurus Feather (if you have one).
• Spam your primary attack button to "tickle" the stomach lining.
• Every 5 seconds, open your inventory and manually consume one Narcotic to match its digestive rhythm.
If done correctly, the Gargantar will vomit you back up after 3 minutes, and its taming bar will instantly jump to 100%. If you die or pass out inside, the taming bar resets, and you will have to find a new one.
