You don't find the giga us finds you
How ever many tranqs you think you need it’s not enough
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
Since one of the updates, tamed gigas had been nerfed so making wild ones a lot stronger than a tamed. Example would be a level 116 tamed giga vs a level 16 wild giga and the level 16 will destroy the 116.
Found one in the Scotland biom on Ragnarok to day, It took me 10 to 15 seconds before I realized it was a giga and now I'm not going back there for a while...
I kill wild gigas dailey (: 34k health and 531 Melee 100% imprint.
