Tips & Strategies
For an extremely easy time managing it's torpor, take the required amount for it's level +300 narcotics. You and a teibemate stand in it's inventory as soon as it goes down. Wait until it's about 5k torpor left, and dump every single narcotic into it. From this point, you can basically just put the kibble in and it will tame itself. It's torpor pool is so large that it won't be able to wake up by the time it's tamed.
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 😊
WILD = 80,000 hp
TAMED = 18,000 hp
I'll say no more.....
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
TO THE GUY THAT SAID METAL SIGNPOSTS WORK, IT JUST WALKS RIGHT OVER THEM.
f for my argy
Whoever said that giga don’t aggro if you’re on a mount on mobile is only half correct.
I tested this in multiplayer server, it will not aggro on you up close (even if you attack it, though I recommend not doing this because I haven’t test this in single player yet. Trust me, I’ve tried this a few times to lure it into trap and it only aggro when I left my mount)
BUT IT WILL AGGRO ON YOU IF YOU PLACE DOWN ANYTHING NEAR IT. I almost lost my lvl 367 argy because of this. So no, you can’t ride a mount, place metal walls around it and leave to tranq it. It will aggro and immediately attack you. Just build a trap somewhere near and lure it into it is your best option
It takes about 5000 stone and 125 slingshots to knock one out
Anyone up to the challenge vote u
