Tips & Strategies
Ok I tame a lot of gigs around 20 in official servers and I've lost 2 tames which were the first and a 1 I fell asleep on well first of all a gig wakes up in minutes sure it's torpor is high but that doesn't mean anything bring at least 2000-3000 narcs I mean when u first knock it out don't just start rushing narcotics it'll be a waste you have to wait till the torpor drops almost all the way down then rush the narcs you will notice the torpor rises up slowly that's good but some 1 will have to always be by the giga I tame they solo or with a squad but if you are taming solo build a trap and no not stone has to be metal don't do the triangle thing or what ever they said their playing solo with god mode if ur playing on the island back by carno island the 2 cliffs side by side put 2 behemoth metal gates at the end leave 1 closed other open lead giga in to the back close other gate then u are set tranq it -ALONEARKER
More Giganotosaurus Taming & KO Tips
If on the island they are most common in the volcano this means you donโt need a trap because you can either fly up to the rim of the volcano and shoot tranqs from there which is the easier option or block of the one entrance to the volcano using metal dino gateways and shoot from the other side. Aldi if thereโs any unwanted things in the volcano just fly them into the lava to kill them. :) plz up my first tip . Oh and make sure you have at least 250 narcotics and 150 trans darts ๐
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 hope this was helpful ๐
You can use a quetzal platform to fly above it and shoot it from above preferably with a longneck and tranq darts. Keep in mind you have to be a good shot for this to work
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!
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.
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
How once found a gigs on the frozen tooth so it could be any mountain area on the island map they can spawn
