What are tips for giganotosaurus? Tips and strategies for giganotosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
How to tame a giga:
First you will need around 100-400 tranqs depending on its level (shocking tranqs are a good choice but spoil)
Also a good rifle (ascendant or any around their) and make sure you time each shot around 3-5 seconds
It's also recommended if U use a good flyer with decent health just in case it gets bit and high stamina and speed.
You can also make a trap if needed
Their torpor goes down quick so you will need lots of the sleeping stuff and you call also use soothing balm or sanguine made from 200 blood packs in a tamed Dracula's inventory.
That's all I can do rn, good luck!!

This Wild Beast is almost useless. To tame it, you Will need ALL YOUR TIME AND SANITY. And when you tame it, it gets the STUPID NERF OF 80% OF HP AND DAMAGE. No words. AND, if you LET it get MORE DAMAGE THAN USUAL… Say goodbye to hours and hours of Hard working and taming Going into gigas stomach in minutes. When this happen, Just take some popcorn and see your carchas, rexes, quetzals, spinos, ALL OF THEM DIYING. Seriously, tame a Carcha. It Will be better.
I just tamed a giga yesterday by using normal dinosaur gates and this is how i did it Step1:Grab an animal with a flyer(I prefer argentavis) Step2:Lead it into the redwoodforest.Step3:Wait for it to go near a very big tree(Not redwood sapling)Step4:place three dinosaur gates around it.Step5:Go near one of those tree bridges and stand on the outside.Step6:If there is two of those big trees that cannot be chopped or knock down blocking the giga start shooting the giga with a mastercraft crossbow and grab like 170 tranq arrows.Step7:If the giga breaks the gates and it tries to chase you the two trees will block the giga and keep shooting it.Step8:If the giga starts running and it crashes into one of thoose big trees again and there is two keep shooting and if it falls use a soothing balm and feed it raw prime meat and feed it bio toxin and boom the giga is all yours(Btw i am on ark mobile i hope this helps:)
Ok.so in Ragnarok I was in creative and I was flying to find a safe zone when I found a giga in the middle of nowhere
I saw 2 at volcano today! I didn’t even know it was possible for there to be 2 gigas to be spawned but I guess it is! I honestly thought they were really overrated but they are so big and menacing.
To escape follow these steps
Step 1: offer the beast something to eat... like the guy next to you
4 metal Dino gates and a giant trap is all you need.
Give it a hug. Seriously. It is the friendliest creature in the game
require a ton of ammo to knock
The amount of narcotics you need are most likely wrong. I used the amount it says for a 120. I used up 2 stacks of narcotics and a stack of biotoxins.
Go faster than sonic if you encounter one in the wild
Ok. WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD ATTACK THIS THING WITH A PACHY 2000 TIMES? Also- would it even survive (the pachy, not the giga)?

With the R-Giga if you plan on using a Tek Bow, take more shards than you think you will need, and HLNA's scan is glitching right now and estimating the Torpor to be lower than the dinosaur actually has/is. If it looks like the Giga is glitched, keep shooting. When you reach the actual torpor rate, it'll KO normally.
Do not turn your back on the Giga once asleep. Do not walk away from it while it's KO'd. The torpor can drop like a rock and no amount of berries or narcotics can max that torpor out again. The torpor drains too quickly. If you walk away, there is a chance your Giga will wake up and eat you. Ideally, make sure you have enough Narcotics or Narco berries to have rows and rows of them. Take a sheep/kibble with you to hunt them so it will be available so you don't need to leave. If you have to step away make it quick and force feed a stack of narcotics before you do so the torpor is going up instead of down. Nothing will Agro to the giga, but stuff will try to eat YOU. Plan accordingly. Happy hunting.
There is a cheap way to trap and knock out a giga
What you need:
1.) Find a flat surface (so that the trap works well)
2.) Get 4-5 metal billboards
3.) Get a flyer that can carry some creatures (e.x. argy, quetzal)
5.)A small creature that can place the billboard while mounted (e.x. dire wolf or raptor)
6.) Soothing balm X10 (if you are on mobile)
7.) Prime meat and Quetzal Kibble/Exceptional Kibble
8.) LOTS OF NARCOTICS/BIO TOXIN
And 9.) Lots of tranq arrows/tranq darts
Setting up the trap:
Find a flat surface with no creature in it then place 3 metal billboards at this shape \_/, after that go and pick up a creature so that the giga chase you then once its in the trap go and far away and ride the small creature (get far away so that the giga doesnt aggro to you) then place the billboard on the back and voila you have trapped the giga [Test if the giga is really trapped by making it chase you], lasty knock out the giga and maintain its torpor.
(Hope this helps)
How once found a gigs on the frozen tooth so it could be any mountain area on the island map they can spawn
To kill a Giganotosaurus, a good lightning wyvern, managarmr, or even reaper is preferable. Wild Gigas regain lots of health from eating corpses, so try to clear the area. Make sure to always have an escape plan if things go south.
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.
If u own a tamed Giga try to not fall of something because if it loses 1000hp or more instantly , it will rage. That means that it will throw u off the saddle and probably eat you, so be aware!!
Make sure to try to make a trap of some sort because the giga will torpor run when it's high on torpor. I tried taming a giga without a trap once and when it was torpor running it died because it ran in the water
