While taming it an alpha rex decided it would be funny to 'help'

If the baby refuses to do the taming minigame with you, try breaking some of the rocks/trees around the nest. I think whatever wildcard did to prevent trapping the parent extended to ANYTHING that could potentially stop the parent from reaching the nest. I tried multiple times to tame a baby and got no response, but as soon as I cleared the area for the parent, the taming game worked first try.

Fun fact! Unlike other babies, if you eliminate the parent, you still can't claim the baby. Learned the hard way 😅

I’ve tried looking for a maximum distance on how far the parent can detect fertilized eggs, 80m worked but I’ll keep testing

Step 1, bring an egg or two just in case ( i brought rex eggs)

Step 2, find a nest with parent and baby.

Step3, place the egg with some distance from the nest, and wait for the parent to see the egg and start to pick it.

Step 4, make ur way to the nest and hide in it(there is an interaction button that says hide in nest.

Step 5, wait for the baby to start the minigame for taming the baby.

Step 6, the parent should come back to the nest shortly after starting the minigame, dont freak out, it wont attack you while you do the minigames with the baby, it will protect you and the baby from any intruder, ur tribemate can even stand there with u beside the nest, but any sudden movement from your mate will alert the parent and attack, during a conflict where the parent runs away too far will make the baby pause the minigame, therefor u should put up another egg close to the nest to make the parent return, then the minigame with the baby will resume.

Step 6, once the minigame is 100% u got urself a Gigantoraptor :) and no u cant tame the parent (i play official pve)

That one tip where they say you don’t need insert eggs is not true! The eggs must be fertilized

Step one. Sneak into nest

Step two. Imprint on babys.

Step three. Run for your life with baby.

If you put babies in the saddle and kill the dinos it chooses, you will automatically get 30% imprinting on the baby. If you have multiple gigantoraptors, just rinse and repeat to get full imprint.

The dossier came out finally! Ok so I’m the wild they have nests and they protect their eggs to the death and will even except other creatures babies into their brood, (ASA will have baby Dino’s that spawn in the wild, so if the mother of the baby dies, the gigantoraptor will take care of it) you can’t tame adults, you have to (I don’t know if you gotta kill the mother, or just be careful, or distract her or what..) then you gotta earn the babies trust, and it will be yours (probably feed it…) once it’s an adult, it can use it’s call to attract orphan wild dinos and take care of them, (idk if this is going to be the only way to tame the wild babies or not.) also it and it’s young (the babies following it wild or her own) get an attack buff when near each other, I’m confused on how this is helpful because the babies are weak and will just die.. maybe she has to die first and they are invulnerable, 🤷🏻‍♂️ But that feature would probably be more helpful for base defense. Anyway that’s the gigantoraptor next creature vote is for aberration and the top ten are looking good so stay tuned.
