ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion

Tips & Strategies

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 😊
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.
If you see one near your base, my suggestion is to pack up everything and run. It is only a matter of time. You cannot fight back.
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
If it is the Giga you want to flee,
It is harder on land you will see,
Get on a bird and get to the sky,
So you survive and don't die,
Get out of there and let it be.
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
If you wanna find a giga (old mobile), tidy your save so these fellas can spawn, i found 2 near the frozen teeth. Just don't dismount your tame and you'll be fine..
TO THE GUY THAT SAID METAL SIGNPOSTS WORK, IT JUST WALKS RIGHT OVER THEM.

43.9/66.4 = Giganotosaurus dossier on the island!
He'll be comin down the mountain when he comes, he'll be comin for you, better grab a gun, you can't run, you can't hide, might as well stand in fight, but you'll probably end up in his tum.
Both Gigas and Carchs can easily be drowned if they encroach too close to your base. Very little stam so oxygen goes quick, doable with PT but personally find it easier using throwaway raft to hold aggro.
It takes about 5000 stone and 125 slingshots to knock one out
Anyone up to the challenge vote u
These gigachads spawn near the mountains. On Survival Evolved, if you lure them near big stone mountains they get stuck in between large rocks. Use this to your advantage.

You don’t have to outrun the giga, just your friends.
