More Giganotosaurus Taming & KO Tips
The things you need to tame a giga:-
1)Flyer (recommending an argy).
2)4-5 dinosaur metal gateways.
3)1-2 large bear traps.
4)10x soothing balm if your playing on mobile.
5)Your KO weapon (most recommended are ascendant longneck rifle or ascendant crossbow).
6)Your KO ammo (bring a decent amount).
7)Taming food of your choice (most recommended is raw prime meat or kibble if you can).
8)Decent amount of narcotics or bio toxin.
FIND GIGA: gigas usually spawn at mountains. On the island try looking around the volcano or the two mountains in the snow area.
SET YOUR TRAP: take 3 of your metal gateways and make this shape \_/ then put a large bear trap or 2 in the middle. It’s easier if you build the trap on flat ground.
TRAP THE GIGA: get the giga to follow you and make it go inside the trap, then make sure it’s caught in the bear trap. When it’s stuck in the bear trap go behind it and complete the trap with another gateway. The final shape of the trap looks like a Trapezoidal.
KO THE GIGA: even a low level giga has a lot of torpor and it drops fast so keep shooting no matter what. It’s recommended for a tribe-mate to help you.
START FEEDING: put the food in the giga’s inventory and keep an eye on it’s torpor.
I hope this was helpful 😊
I was looking to metal to make a saddle then I said to my brother “i am going to tame a giga” as a joke. Not even 10 seconds later a level 55 giga came into view. KEEP IN MIND WE ARE ONLY LEVEL 40!! We are gonna tame it tomorrow with arrows since we don’t have tranq darts😂 wish us luck!
Many a tribe have been foolish enough to think they could fight a wild giga with a tamed and ended up with a dead giga. Don't be them.
Make 4 metal dino gates and 1 large bear trap. Place three frames and door into an incomplete square and the large bear trap in the I between them. Lure the Giga into the trap and while its trapped place 4th down to make the square. Then just light it up with tranqs
I 100% recommend charging straight on a Giga with a wooden club, you won’t regret it.
Just lure into a metal gate set ups some plant Xs and it will knock out you welcome
Get a snow owl or argy and make sure it has a decent amount of life. Find your Giga and get slightly out of range of it. Set up 4 metal behemoth gates in box formation, but leave the door off the 4th wall facing the Giga. Get on your snow owl and aggro him. You may need to be low for him to follow, so do expect 3-5 bites from it as you lead the Giga into the cage, but often you can do it damage free. Each bite ranges from 200-500 damage depending on lvl, so make sure you can survive the damage.
When you fly up against the back wall, let him bite once more so you know he’s in. Fly up, turn around quick and hotbar the last door in, but stay above him. Fly out and land on top of the gate post. Carefully dismount... I’ve had some funny falls into the cage, but now I use a tek suit and keep my bird far away. Unless the ground is raised/rocky below, he shouldn’t be able to chomp you either way. You may need to bring a few hundred tranqs for high lvl ones, but plug away at him as he runs corner to corner. Bring some spare crossbows or rifles. Have some kibble, or mutton handy (# depending on your server rates) and throw it in his inventory when he goes down. Gigaty gigaty goo!
All I’m going to say is if you are using a crossbow is bring a spare cross in inventory and pack hundreds of tranqs I had to re-trap and shoot five times because I would run out of arrows or my crossbow would break, save yourself the trouble and prepare. If you have a mid check the narcotics.
TO THE GUY THAT SAID METAL SIGNPOSTS WORK, IT JUST WALKS RIGHT OVER THEM.
f for my argy
Here's a 2nd way to tame it in mobile first get 4 metal gates ride a frog or raptor a giga won't aggro on u if u ride a creature casually put the gates around it don't worry it won't attack u just don't attack it once u trap it knock it feed it boom tamed
