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.

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

I 100% recommend charging straight on a Giga with a wooden club, you won’t regret it.

When you tame a giga it loses 65k health and around half it's damage.

With the proper technique, it's a long, but easy tame ;

1rst step : tame a scorpion, or arthropleura from within the caves (really important)

Imprint the MD as much as possible, until you'd find the gigano

Use the not-an-insect-even-though-every-one-say-they're-bugs, to attack the big one (he won't agro on you, unless you dismount)

Between each attacks, wait few seconds, until he'd recove 1hp

After a long while, he's knocked out, just bring him food... & Narcotics 👍

Just lure into a metal gate set ups some plant Xs and it will knock out you welcome

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 was on my pteranodon which had 300 health and i saw a giga in the distance and i was flying low, i turned around and suddenly with lightspeed the giga comes and gnashes my pteranodon and kills me aswell. Never turn your back to a giga

I recommend having an Argo for a flier to get this guy. 10x soothing balm(you may not have it since wrong device). 20 - 50 large bear traps. For the tranquilizer to work and him not to wake up. Try shooting him with Tranq arrows when he’s down. 7 behemoth gateways. And lure him into the trap. Make sure he doesn’t get out of the bear traps. I recommend using 6 or 7 bows. If you liked the info. Hit the button facing the sky /\ If you disliked the info. Hit the button facing underground \/

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