I recommend to do these steps if you encounter one.

Killing:

-get flying creature

-Agro giga

-Fly above water

-watch it drowned

-realize you can’t get it because of stupid sea animals

Taming:

-become the flash

-make a trap

-trap it

-spend 1000 hours shooting tranqs

-get more weapons cuz yours broke

-knock it out

-feed it 1000 nacros

-feed it prime meat and hope they don’t spoil

-or use kibble

-tame it

-use it to kill other giga’s

-realize u messed up

If you want this weapon of mass destruction I’ll give tips:

You’ll need:

-A trap bc this thing is actually hard to hit without a trap.( I used 4 metal gates but any trap that’s big enough works)

-Your KO weapon(it doesn’t have to be a longneck, crossbow worked fine)

Now you know what you’ll need, let’s get to taming.

1. find a giga.

Gigas are basically ONLY found in mountains or snow and you’ll know it when you see one.(they are bronto-sized rexes)

2. Set up the trap.

A preferred place to set the trap is on any sort of flat ground, lead the giga in. If it doesn’t get stuck, the trap doesn’t work or you’re just skill issue.

3. KO the giga.

This should be easy but will take awhile. Don’t stop shooting because it’s torpor drops fast.

4. Feed it.

You can starve it or give it prime(don’t ask where raw meat went)it’s up to you, give it 100 biotoxin when it’s on low torpor and you’re set.

Now you have machine of death. It wasn’t that hard wasn’t it?

If you Tame this with basic kibble on official(I think it would take 15+ hours) you are a legit savage and should be recognized asap!

When you look for one... you don’t find one.

You dont look for one... you find loads

Moral of the story. Always look for Gigas!!!

TO TAME THE GIGANOTOSAURUS YOU WILL NEED THESE THINGS

4 METAL DINOSAUR GATES

1 LARGE BEAR TRAP

MAKE IT ON FLAT GROUND AND PLACE THE FIRST ONE IN THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE GIGA AND THE OTHER TWO ON THE SIDES MAKE SURE THEY SHOULD BE CONNECTED AND THE LARGE BEAR TRAP IN THE MIDDLE OR A LITTLE BIT CLOSER TO THE FIRST ONE NOW AGGRO THE GIGANOTOSAURUS AND LEAD IT INTO THE TRAP AND IF IT GETS CAUGHT IN THE BEAR TRAP QUICKLY GO BEHIND IT AND PLACE THE FOURTH GATE NOW IT IS TRAPPED

IF YOU PLAY ON MOBILE LIKE I DO THEN USE A SOOTHING BALM AND THE SLEEP STARVATION TRICK TO INSTANTLY TAME IT

I encountered 1 level 13 I had to quit so many times to keep my argen alive it's right near base 2 next to the redwoods I'm scared that my dinos other there are gonna die by it 1 up equals 1 more bit of faith that they will survive.

By the way, on MOBILE ONLY if you’re on a tame wild ones will ignore you. Hope this helps!

Bring double the amount of arrows or darts Dododex tell you to bring

How to survive a giga.

Firstly, you could be faster than your friend, but you don’t have friends so that won’t work. Maybe sacrifice some innocent dodo to save yourself.

Secondly, if you are on a mountain, parachute off and pray it loses agro. Though, you killed hundreds of innocent creatures before so better be lucky instead of good.

Thirdly, you can get full ascended gear and blast it to kingdom come. I’m talking full ascended tek, and maybe a few hundred c4s

That’s how you survive a giga.

In mobile they rage but only kill wild dinos

For the few pvp players that will actually read this, use shadowmanes to defend against gigas, the gigas barely does any damage to them and you can just keep on dismounting them.

Here is a pearl of wisdom that I wish I was given when I tamed a giga:

Don't use three metal dino-gates, use four!

You make a U shape with three and put a large bear trap in the middle.

You then lure the giga onto the bear trap and place the final Dino-gate behind it to trap it.

Everyone says that you can use three metal Dino-gates but you really want to use four when you are being chased by the most terrifying creature on the island.

The numbers they give you are way off. If it says 500 dart's take 1000 or 1500 just to be sure.

If it's rage meter goes to high which happens if it takes to much damage in a small time interval it will literally eat you of it's saddle

Advice when raising giga:

37 meat on a giga last around 14 min so this gives a hint on how long you can leave the giga if you need to do some basic stuff at the base. This normal rats no boosted servers.

That's around 2.6 meat per min

When taming a Giga it's torpor drops in 2min so wait til it's torpor is at about 4,000 then pump a several hundred Narcotics all at once. 100 Narc = 4,000 torpor. It takes longer for the torpor to rise than it does to drop. Took mine 30min to go from 4,000 torpor back to max.

R.I.P. base and tames.

Paleo ark:evolution makes this behemoth look 1000x better and same with the Rex, such smooth animations new roars, and you can actually level the gigas health, got one of them to 60k health, you can also bring them to boss battles, you can only bring 2 tho or else they will go berserk and murk your whole army (this happened to me, it did 3x the damage of the alpha broodmother) over all great mod and I still think without it it’s better than the carcha, the only way a carcha would be better is if it has like 60+ kill frenzy
