ARK's base taming speed on PC, PS4, and Xbox is now doubled, meaning 1× is as fast as what 2× was previously. Dododex has been updated to reflect this. Use the "presets" dropdown for common multipliers.

If you encounter one while with a tribe mate, just bola the tribe mate and run

I dare you to raise one!! They are savage if you got two high lvl parents (about lvl 140ish) and you get imprinting on it. The thing will become an adult with about 230% melee and basically one chomp any bronto!!! But on the down side you loose your job and your girlfriend

Hitbox so big he can bite you in Ragnarok and kill your tribe mate in Extinction.

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!
629 points   🥚 Taming & KO       Report
This is such a rip off. When wild, it does 450 damage and has 80,000 health. When tamed, it has less than a quarter of its health and it took me four hits to kill a moose!! I don’t mind the health, but at least give it better Melee Wildcard! Make sure wildcard sees this.
5122 points   🥚 Taming & KO       Report
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
4792 points   🥚 Taming & KO       Report
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.
