What are tips for giganotosaurus? Tips and strategies for giganotosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Warning punching the giga with a fist is not a one hit flee, at least not for the giga
The wise proverb that exists in ark is that: “When two elephants fight, (or in this case Giga v Titano) it is the grass that suffers. I saw it all happen. No joke. I saw a literal trail of corpses in the redwoods. Gallis, terror birds, diplos, brontos etc. I harvested all them. Took almost a minute along with the helping of my spino, moschops, argy and sarcos.
Where to find if you find tall mountains you may see a giga
I look for a giga ready to tame: No giga
Not looking for a giga: OH DANG IT A GIGA
To tame it just make the classic trap, place 3 metal behemoth gates in a square shape, keep some space inbetween them to shoot from the outside, then place 1 or 2 large bear traps in the middle of the three, make sure to make the trap on a flat area, open one of the gates (it doesn't matter wich one) and lure the giga into the trap, a pteranodon should be enough to do this, make sure to hit the giga at least one, i recommend aiming at the tail otherwise you'll get destroyed with 1 bite, onche the guga enter the trap, it will be caught by a bear trap, you have a few seconds to close the gates then beggin shooting and have a lot of patienece, stay away from the trap, something like 30 m should be safe.
If you play on mobile go to the lava cave at the southeast of the island and tribute the artifact of the massive until you have an ascendant rifle with at least 1000 damage, with this rifle you'll knock out the giga a lot faster and with less darts and you don't have the risk of the rifle breaking mid-taming, also go to the cave at the south of the island to get some soothing balm.
A lvl 150 without soothing balm and ascendant rifle will take more than 500 darts, it will break at least 1 rifle and will take more than 50 prime meat, that's a damn lot of brontos even with a high level rex, and mot of the prime meat will also spoil so you'll have to keep an eye on the giga very often, it will become anoying if the taming is far away from your base, and the giga will also need more than a whole hour to tame, also the tamimg efficiency will decrease and your giga will lose some levels.
if you have an ascendant rifle and soothing balm a lvl 150 won't take more than 200 darts, it will fall asleep a lot faster, it will only need like 6 prime meat, you can get that from a few brontos, stegos or mamoths in less than 5 minutes, it will take a few minutes to tame and the taming efficiency won't go lower than 98% if you take care of it.
Also be sure and I mean 100% sure that you have AT LEAST 1 entire stack of biotoxin (500) or a bunch of stacks of narcotics (at least 1000) in the case of a high level giga. I personally prefer biotoxin, it's easy to farm if you have a good crossbow or pike, even a sword works pretty well.
The second most powerful and largest creature in ARK: Mobile the "Giga" is a ferocious and savage creature that kills anything within its range ANYTHING except Titanosoures. If you like to tame one then prepare well before going in cause once your in then there is no going back ALIVE.
IF YOU ARE TAMING A GIGA DO NOT BRING YOUR DINOS BECAUSE THIS HAPPEND: YOUR LEVEL 261 RAPTOR WAS KILLED BY A GIGANTOSAURUS LV90 YOUR LEVEL 250 REX WAS KILLED BY A GIGANTOSAURUS LV90 YOUR LV200 BRONTOSAURUS WAS KILLED BY A GIGANTOSAURUS LV90
I tamed one, it was hard, all my pets died, I died, but in the end I have a level 1000 giga
Men don't tame Giga with tranqs men tame giga with horses
If you want to kill one on extinction use a velonasaur don’t matter what lvl giga it’s gonna die so fast
I literally regret sacrificing my ascendant flak chestpiece, gauntlet, leggings, and my flak helmet when trying to kill a level 20 giga... i thought it'll give thousand of exp.
Im really angry for the developer/s of this game because when youre giga gets hurt it will attack you and everything around it
Why devs WHY!!!!!!!!!!
It is tamed why cant it kill anything that is not you or your own tames
WHY!!!!!!!
The way to kill a giga is knock it out the smack it till it wakes then cry cause can’t kill it
This dose work all so you can you behemoth gate metal to trap it and a big bear trap
If you happen to to encounter one of these beasts, bola ur friend and RUN!! 🏃♂️💨
If you’re playing on single player mode then, sorry but you’re screwed. 🔩🦖
At first I didn’t know how strong these monsters were so I took my 245 spino to kill a level 24 and with in 10 hits it wiped me out so I watched a video and learned that they have 80000 health so a year later I tamed one then I tamed another then another until I had 9 the highest level one was a 129 so I tamed one more and I was lucky it was a level 104 when it finished taming it was a 178 so I went on the hunt which all of my army of Gigas and found 3 wild ones at the same time I killed them but 7 died my 178 killed two so it got 10 levels my now 188 gigs and 129 and some how my level 76 made it I was very happy until I figured out you can’t take them to a boss fight
