What are tips for giganotosaurus? Tips and strategies for giganotosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Only Use Primitive crossbows and tranqs as if you miss with darts its torpor will go up super fast
So in the recent events gigas have been downgraded way to much from 25k health-17k health just keep that in mind if you are new to the giga aspect of taming realize that low level gigas are terrible but are a must tame to get higher level gigas on the island since 2 are the max on island and 6 is max on center I'm talking about wild. Do not fight a wild giga even if it's level 5 and you have a l50 depends on your dmg health and saddle 200+ dmg is good but the saddle must be high tho or ur dead pretty much don't fight a giga plus you can lag out watch out
I did this with cooked fish meat. "I LOVE ARK" [kill me pls]
If theres a giga put the coord in chat for giga location then hide and wait for your bait
Giga traps are the best way to tame these! Use metal gate frames and a bear trap!
Whoever's tames a 150 giga with cooked fish meat whatever a tame boost on their server has some serious balls
If you plan to knock out a wild giga bring more Tranks than you think you'll need my tribe found a level 55 let's just say 800 trank arrows aren't anough to knock it out.
Try and get it to run into a wall, then stand on your quetzal's platform saddle and shoot it with tranqs. I tamed three this way. Either do this or trap it.
Trap Giga out by finding a ruin and then lead it into the ruin and then go through the little tunnel and get in mad and u and it should run towards the tunnel and when it's doing that you have a tribe mate go up behind it and place 5 or 4 stone Dino gates and then u can knock it out
I have tamed 3 Gigas in 3 days with this method.
To tame this dino, requires you to punch it. It will not be long after that. Enjoy!
Recommended shots on dododex only work if it's shot that many times in 10 seconds. Torpor steadily drops even while being shot. So additional shots are required.
These creature are the most love able out of all the Dino's, it gives you a friendly hug and some baked cookies for you on your journey back home
You need lots of plant species x to kill this guy
Secondary generation gigas kill wild one easily with 400+400*30% attack.
Remember these are easier to tame then they are to kill. Trap it tranq it with your tribe and hunt the prime only take about 3 hours once it's down.. but to kill it.... good luck.... best bet run to water and swim and keep swimming being eaten by sharks is a better fate and you may have a drowning giga in pursuit
If you want to tame one, just run up to it and tickle him! You get 100% Effectiveness!
Friendly neighbourhood watch officer
Instead of using 4 behemoth gates only use 1, replace the others with metal pillars built as high as you can reach from the ground (5 I think) and don't place the door on the behemoth gate until the giga is in the large bear trap. This will make it much easier to down the giga. Then surround the giga with spike walls once it is down.
It take 400 plus traq arrows to knock out a giga not what ever the heck the app says god
You have no time to shoot all arrows required as he's torpor goes down so fast, so make sure you have a good cliff.
