Tips & Strategies
Taming a Oversized chicken nugget: (giga) 1: Make 9 metal foundations and put them in a SQUARE FORMATION. ALL 9 MUST BE USED! 2: Make 36 metal walls. I know it’s a lot but trust me. Stack the walls 3x3 on each outer foundation. 3: For trapping purposes, make 15 stone walls. Stack 3 on the 3 metal walls in front, and 1 strip of 3 stone walls connecting to the ones you placed down. 4: made wooden/metal ramps up the opposite side of the 3x3 stone walls. 5: clear out the area. It is essential to do this or the giga will run at other things making you annoyed as crap. 6: lure giga into trap. 7: grab 100-500 tranq darts. 8: tranq the giga and soothing balm 10x or 15x. Feed it prime meat or quetzal kibble. 9: go home and do ice cave for saddle if you don’t already have one. 10: enjoy your new favorite killer. P.S. BEFORE YOU DO THIS DO LAVA CAVE FOR ASCENDANT CROSSBOW AND SOUTH CAVE FOR SOOTHING BALM. -Stumpy. (Tamed his first giga with this method at level 68.)

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. It’s 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 it’s caught in the bear trap. When it’s 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. It’s recommended for a tribe-mate to help you.
START FEEDING: put the food in the giga’s inventory and keep an eye on it’s torpor.
I hope this was helpful 😊

I'll say no more.....
I was looking to metal to make a saddle then I said to my brother “i am going to tame a giga” 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 don’t have tranq darts😂 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 won’t 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
It takes about 5000 stone and 125 slingshots to knock one out
Anyone up to the challenge vote u
Make a club. Find one hit it with the club untill it is unconscious. Put mejoberys in its inventory. And wait shouldn’t take that long to tame.
Boom now you have your do- oh wrong page
