More Giganotosaurus Taming & KO Tips
Just don't tame it
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. Itโs 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 itโs caught in the bear trap. When itโs 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. Itโs recommended for a tribe-mate to help you.
START FEEDING: put the food in the gigaโs inventory and keep an eye on itโs torpor.

I'll say no more.....
I was looking to metal to make a saddle then I said to my brother โi am going to tame a gigaโ 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 donโt have tranq darts๐ wish us luck!
I have tamed my first Giga. Two of my eagles died in the process and I died several times myself. However, after two hours I was finally redeemed and my very first giga was tamed. I have never been so happy in this game. (700h)
I didn't have a name right after taming. I wanted to think of one on the way home. My path ran along the northern beach.
After 300-400m, less than 30 seconds later, I ran straight into the arms of a lvl 4 Giga.
I've rarely been as shocked as I was at that moment.
I tried everything to turn my giga around quickly. However, it had a turning circle of what felt like three trucks...
Rip Giga without a name
I've never been so broken.
I still can't believe this story...
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 wonโt regret it.
I already tamed an giga at lv 78 and the tip was just get lots of tranquilizing darts and when he runs get into an area where he will get stuck while running and that's it easy tame. Btw be on top of an area that's above the length of him.
DON'T TRY TO TRAP THEM WITH STONE DINO GATE WAY!!!! IT JUST GIVE 20 SHOTS AND BROKE IT!!!!
