Can these be a easy tame on mobile without Soothing balm?
If you want a powerful mount to run around the map with, this is NOT what you’re looking for. High lvl ones are very powerful but they all have terrible stamina and even more terrible stamina regen rates. So you’ll basically have to walk everywhere cuz running will cause you to lose all of your stamina in like 10 seconds and it will take like 30 seconds to fully regen. A walking giga is significantly slower than a rex, let alone a spino, so yeah if you plan on getting a powerful mount that also runs around map pretty quickly, get a spino, or even a Rex will work better than a giga.
Don’t go and say hi with these guys while on a griffin they will kill it in 1-2
Nibbles
If you find one just get it to fall of a mountain it can’t climb then get on top and shoot it
Or trap it in metal doorways
Does anyone know how to get rid of commands
This is one by my house that has 80k health!
Taming a Oversized chicken nugget: (giga) 1: Make 9 metal foundations and put them in a SQUARE FORMATION. ALL 9 MUST BE USED! 2: Make 36 metal walls. I know it’s a lot but trust me. Stack the walls 3x3 on each outer foundation. 3: For trapping purposes, make 15 stone walls. Stack 3 on the 3 metal walls in front, and 1 strip of 3 stone walls connecting to the ones you placed down. 4: made wooden/metal ramps up the opposite side of the 3x3 stone walls. 5: clear out the area. It is essential to do this or the giga will run at other things making you annoyed as crap. 6: lure giga into trap. 7: grab 100-500 tranq darts. 8: tranq the giga and soothing balm 10x or 15x. Feed it prime meat or quetzal kibble. 9: go home and do ice cave for saddle if you don’t already have one. 10: enjoy your new favorite killer. P.S. BEFORE YOU DO THIS DO LAVA CAVE FOR ASCENDANT CROSSBOW AND SOUTH CAVE FOR SOOTHING BALM. -Stumpy. (Tamed his first giga with this method at level 68.)
If u want a high lvl giga like mine witch is lvl 2,400 u can use god console to lvl it up to 1,000 while its still awake when its asleep lvl it up to tame it faster and hive it more lvls when its tamed lvl it up as much as you want
Ascendant comp bow + Quetz kibble + god mode + balm = ez lvl 80 giga
Don’t:
-Tame at low level
-Tame without saddle
-Tame without traps or gates
Do
-?
I will say r-gigas are beautifully terrifying on Gen 2.
Most terrifying creature!! Go away from it...
There’s actually an even easier way to trap one of these on mobile than using large bear traps. Basically, when no other animal is near a giga, it will just stand still. On mobile, gigas are actually not aggressive to all tamed creatures, so as long as you don’t hit it or dismount from your tame, you can ride right up next to a wild giga and it won’t even care about you. What I did is I waited for the giga to clear all animals in an entire area and stand still and I flew up to it on my pteranodon and placed 4 metal gates around its foot while it stood still like an idiot. By the time it started moving again it was already trapped. Ez tame afterwards.
I did this at only lvl 63 btw.
Just remember when leading them into the trap to stand atleast 3km away. Any less and they still manage to kill you.
If your on a steep enough mountain they can get over a dinosaur gateway wish I knew this before I tried to tame one
The simplest way to get unlimited shooting balm ×10:
1.Get the "Artefact of the hunter" for go directly to the artefact container just go <---
2.Tribute the artefact he Wil give you ascendant metal pickaxe / axe (blueprint), a ascendant fishing rod, some ascendant hide armor (blueprint) better armor than a flak, better fortitude than pelt armor.
3.from the 2nd tribute you will earn a shooting balm×10 and again some things
I aleardy have over 21 shooting balm ×10, I used over 34 for gigas, spino, rex, quetzal, mosasaur and more.
IF HE WILL DOESN'T GIVE YOU SHOOTING BALM : repeat 2.
