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.

If u don’t wanna waste all ur metal, use a few crossbows with tranq arrows. 3 primitive crossbows and about 300 tranq arrows work 4 me.

A simple trick once it’s down is to wait until it’s torpor is under 5% or so and then spam feed as many narcotics as you have. This should keep it down for the whole taming cycle as it’s torpor increases MUCH SLOWER than it decreases.

Have fun with ur new Giga!

I tamed one as of Saturday 25 September 2021, I didn’t expect for each level up the health would only go up by 15. The stat increase isn’t high, I have a rex than is tougher than my TAMED Giga, wild ones are extremely dangerous, tamed ones are just, crap compared to wild.

Since the calc doesn’t show darts for some reason... A 150 took 200 darts from a 177 longneck. Hope this helps someone

It makes it a lot easier to tame when it's tamed on 2x weekend !

The strongest thing in the game unless you’ve heard about creative mode because with that you get everything for free🙏🦵🦾🔫💪🥇🇺🇸🐍🌪⚡️☄️🔥

To be completely honest. It was super easy. Easier then i thought. Don't get off your flyer when the giga is not moving and not attacking anything just start surrounding it with metal dinosaur gateways and make sure it don't come out. Start tranqing it and after that just give it a 10x smoothing balm or sengiuene potion. Give it quetz kibbles 10 or more based on the lvl and just to be sure alot of narcos

I found a level 2 giga when flying around ( I know this sounds weak but I am not even close to a good level so this thing will eat me in a instant) and it has slowly been moving forwards my base! What should I do!!!!!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🦖

If you can knock it out with your fists and tame it with cooked fish...you are the god of Ark

Gigas when tammed are weaker then when they are in the wild. So a tammed 150 giga has about much health as a lvl 15 Wild giga so if you spot a giga when on your giga freaking run for your life because your perfect tame won't be able to kill it unless it has at least 300% mele

It’s so funny watching your friends run from the inevitable.

I have seen more titanosaurs and royal griffins than Gigas. Just why, I saw one, a level 15, disappeared when I was ready to tame it, just why o why o why, they debuff these things and they are as rare as a as all creatures, either make em powerful or make them more common, hit that like button. Let’s hope I find one, again.

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

DON'T TRY TO TRAP THEM WITH STONE DINO GATE WAY!!!! IT JUST GIVE 20 SHOTS AND BROKE IT!!!!

(Learned from exprience)

You can just use three gateways and 1 large bear trap and make sure the gates are in a right position

When you try to tame this creature, always have a backup plan if things went wrong. Because I saw one near my base and while setting trap, bad happened and it ended up killing my all 25 tamed animals😡😡😤😤😤. So please secure your base with metal fence and turrets for attacking in case if things gone wrong like to me..
