The Island, lvl 98, day 135,First time playing ark (pve)

A few days ago i went to the snow biome because I collected everything for a pelt armor. I was flying around with my Argi (lvl 130) and searched for a Giga because I always wanted to see one in the game. I searched in the whole snow biome but just found mammoths, direwolves, daeodons, argis and a yuty.

Today I was just going to farm metal, obsidian and cementing paste. As always, I went to a near mountain with my 2 argis and an argy to farm metal from these golden stones. I whistled my argis to stand still, walked around with my anky and farmed metal. When I was on the other side of the summit, far away from my argis, I saw a big tail, the body of the dino was behind a big rock. It didn't see me, but it was walking to the summit. I needed 3 seconds to realize this is a Giga. I jumped off my anky and ran to my argis, hoping my anky with 400 metal in inventory will survive. I jumped on my argi, whistled the other to follow, flew to my anky and grabbed it. Giga was lvl 4. But that was my main spot for farming metal and crystal. I can't farm there anymore. Giga won't help me. So I decided to farm metal and obsidian on the second mountain near my base. 1 day later I flew there with my argi and my anky. It was the first time going to that mountain. I didn't believe my eyes when I arrived. Tons of crystal, metal and obsidian and guess what walked on top of the mountain? Right! A Giga lvl 22! I had to fly back. I had no farming spot anymore. I decided to kill a Giga, but I didn't know how a guy with a half stone base with the hardest tame beeing a theri should beat a Giga, so I searched on yt and in the browser how to kill one. My only possibility was doing the trap with the 4 metal gateways and large bear traps, but taming one would be easier than killing one, because I would need a LOT of bullets. I craftet a lot of narcotics (900) and 4 metal gateways, I still had 90 tranq arrows and 2 large bear traps. In the next day I jumped on my argi and flew towards the 2nd mountain, but I decided to try to tame the lvl 4 Giga, because that would be way easier. I buildt the trap, trapped it and shot it with tranq arrows till it gets knocked taming it was pretty easy then, I needed 1 hour, but with raw meat, and I had to feed him around 450 narcotics. It's torpor goes down EXTREMELY fast, it had around 12000 torpor but lost 300 per second. She is called Giga now but i will call her Alpha Compy :)))
