What are tips for giganotosaurus? Tips and strategies for giganotosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Hey! I know it says the Giganotosaurus is not in Fjordur, however i’ve encountered a few in their R forms
On mobile they won’t aggro onto you if you are riding a mount. However, if you dismount at any point anywhere near the giga or attack it in any way, it will attack immediately. Up so more people know
I knocked one out with a HUGE amount of froggo’s I started with 35 frogs all level 100-150 and by the time he fell I had 4 frogs one ^ is a frog memory!
On Valguero, I've confirmed three spawn locations.
14.2 67.5
13.2 60.6
38.3 67.4
Tamed and killed multiple at these co ords, there should still be another spawn or two on the map
They arent friendly guys, and they really really dont like being hit with a stone pickaxe
You don't have to outrun the Gig, just your friends! XD
Simply bola and club is all you need to knock it out nice early game tame beware of dodos though as they might kill it
If one is encountered near water, you can simply lure it out to sea with a flyer and it will swiftly drown. Given the water is deep enough. If encountered inland not near water. Pray to the overseers you have something fast enough to out run it. Then promptly die because they're as fast as a mad Hispanic mother with a shoe. Not as deadly as one though.
Why Hello everyone!, looking to tame an R-Giga?, 145 to 135/130 or less? Maybe more?, I’m talkin 150! To 155!, ( 155 if you’re on higher than default levels I suppose!)
Anyway let’s get to the point,
First Disclaimer!!! This isn’t a tip for the suitable and well prepared requirements.
Do you wonder if you’ve got what it takes a tame a Giga with JUST some bows and tranq arrows? And you lack the ability to get good rifles or just don’t want to wait that long?, or is the game not giving you a single good blueprint or whatnot for one?
Welll do you ATLEAST have one or 2 JOURNEYMAN Crossbows? Or one JOURNEYMAN crossbow AND a MASTERCRAFT Crossbow?
( and if you’re like me, also have an ascendant compound bow?)
Because approximately 1x Journeyman crossbow with about 283 durability or more, plus 168% weapon damage
( more especially according to my calculations if you’re taming any higher than 145 that I did with this method but I’m not sure how bunch the torpor differs between lvls on R-Gigas.)
Anyway, combine that with a Mastercraft crossbow with 202 weapon damage (or more) and 141 durability ( i know that’s bad, just what mine is at as an example)
(If you don’t have one another better or similar Journeyman crossbow/s should do the same thing.)
Combine that with an ascendant compound bow ( both of my other bows broke so I had to use this) and 741 tranq arrows with only 7 or less misses will knock out a Lvl 145 R1Giga with 261 tranq arrows left.
( again the compound bow probably isn’t necessary whatsoever as long as you have either multiple journeyman or better crossbows.)
Anyway my attempt of taming a 145 R-Giga on Fjordur was a booming Success!.
Mind you I used a trap, and sat there shooting it in the head with mostly guaranteed success in hitting my shots apart from some misses until I got the right position!.
My new R-Giga (male) is black with green stripes and I shall name him Master Chief, I do hope this was helpful in some way or other!.
Just brought down a lvl 150 I’m sweating so hard I need a sweat rag for my sweat rag😂😂
The giga's vision is based on movement, so if you see one don't move and it won't see you.
Never fight a wild giga with a tamed giga, a wild giga has 80,000 health and your tamed will usually be around 25,000 health. Also the wild giga will do more damage a bite and also has a health drain effect.
I was playing on a nice multiplayer survee with nice people, I got a bronto, mutated blue wolf, eerie tapejara, and an argie. I join a tribe with someone and we go to his base (on the back of fars peak and right across from carnivore island) and one day I spawn in, and see one of my arges died, I'm like oh. It must have starved. That's sad. Then I look at the logs and see "your dodo has been killed by a giganotosaurus!" I instantly start panicking and I type in the chat about it. Everyone is curious. Low and behold I see a giant giga tail right next to my flimsy base with spike walls. It agros on me, and I start RUNNING. My bronto attacks it and the behemoths fight. My bronto's death was not in vein though. I had enough time to save 5 out of 17 dinos. I'd say that's pretty good compared to nothing. I still have their graves to this day.
The real gods at ark use their fists.
