What are tips for giganotosaurus? Tips and strategies for giganotosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
I tamed one using my argy with 10k hp. I built 2 metal gates around a bear trap (a common trap a lot of people use.) However I kept messing up and having to demolish my gates. After making multiple mistakes I found out that metal billboards work too. (the big signs. not the little ones.) Also, my 10k hp argy couldn’t tank it for long to lead it into the trap. The giga I tamed was lvl 25 and it was still hitting for like 400 dmg per bite. You’re never invincible with these things. I brought about 600 tranq arrows and over 1k narcotics (overpreparing is much better than underpreparing.) I lead it down to the beach to trap it. Its a flat area so it works well. Lead it into the bear trap, place billboards or gates behind it, and then shoot it like crazy with tranqs. (it should be 100% stuck by the time you start shooting.) Also, honorable mention! IT RUNS FASTER THAN ARGYS. I havent tried with Ptera but they have trash health anyways.
Make sure to clear the area from threats as it is a knockout tame. This thing is a rare spawn on mountains. I recommend tranq darts and a longneck rifle to knock it out best bet is kibble to feed it.(torpor lowers quick so bring a lot narcotics hope this helps
Real tamer’s test. Will put both your patience and your ability to keep something down.
P.S.: if it seems stuck in a terrain, SURROUND IT WITH GATES. It’ll get out sooner or later.
Note all hunters; if you find one these on a low level, immediately run. Even if you are at a high level these things can kill you with one stomp.
With sanguine elixer and instead of using exceptional kibble use extraordinary kibble then it will tame really quick on official servers.
Lead it to green obelisk and knock it out in the shallow water its perfect to use as a giga taming pen.
Be careful even if it’s tamed
you why
Well if they rage and there tamed in you base
It will still kill and brake everything you ever owned
And kill every Dino but if it dose not kill all of them and stopes raging
You might have a chance
Getting a strong giga is realistically easy through breeding but muts are 10x harder due to the spawnrates still if u managed to get your hands on a high level female (145-150) and u got a low level male, you can at least redo the giga process by breed until u get desired levels
Stay away from these beasts!
This beast killed my lvl 338 spino and my 276 lvl theri
U actually just need 3 Metal dino gates and a large bear trap to knock a giga , just place 2 metal gates like a top side of triangle / \ , then place the large bear trap. Lure the giga to the trap , then place the last metal gates behind it . Just make sure the gap isnot very big. Then shoot it with about 150 tranq arrow and there u knocked it out.
Just get a gold rifle or crossbow my rifle has 347.7% AND it just needs 61 darts forma a level 100 to TAME wish me luck. For the trap u needs 4 metal signos AND 2 large Bear traps first u place 3 metal signs like this [_] then the two Bear traps In the middle then u make the giga to follows you make sure the Gigi gets trap In the Bear traps now quickly place the last sign In the back, wait like 1-2 minutos to meke sure the giga doesn't escapes AND after that you just hice a Lot o tranq arrows/darts. AND that's it u hace ir giga contratos
Just tamed my first giga after playing the old ark mobile and the new as well as having it for console.. after 2 years i have finally achieved victory granted it was only a lvl 5 but i lured it to the northern coast closer to blue ob mtn but in between the 2 snowy mtns then i proceeded to commit suicide by falling from said cliffside 16 times half from dismounting my flyer to clise to the edge and half to freezing. Did get chomped once, story aside with my mastercraft bow about 25-30 tranqs were needed and about 80-100 narcotics and ill say this in the time it took to jump on my bird fly down the cliff and access the inventory of the giga its tapor was already down 2/3 ended up wakeing up 4 times on me but finally i lucked out got him down loaded him with prime broke down spent the 50 keys for double tame speed and still pumping narcotics in him fast as i could he still got down to 700 tapor before he tamed, that being said the stam sucks, health got tanked hard 80k wild to 37k tamed and im doing like 100 damage vs the insta kills it was getting on me, ultimatly im disappointed beyond belief because my lvl 180 rexs (far from being max lvled) have better stats, the omly good thing iv seen so far is its vertical mobility atleast that didnt get tanked, if theres a slight angle to the terrain and not 100% vertical these guys can usully find a sweet spot to make the climb.... good luck out there with your taming! and dont just take my word on gigas it could just be where mines super low lvl it sucks so bad
Just pelted one with 100 Tranq darts and it still didn't go down, note to self, bring more next time.
Forget about needing a bunch of dino gates and bear trap. Search up "How to build a giga taming trap" by Captain Fatdog on YouTube. Only need 4 pillars, basically. Works like a charm, EZPZ
God mode can be a blessing and a curse at time R.I.P lvl 150
I did encourage a giga in the center i didn't run away but i did fight it then trapped it this morning. Then i tamed it.
If you have a 500%+ dmg rifle and shocking tranq darts dont even hesitate to tame a giga, it doesnt even matter what lvl. Just make sure you have the narcs and kibble
Whatever you do, DON’T let him hug you.
On ASA Ragnarok official server settings no bonus it took me 501 shots of tranq arrows to the head for a 145 Giga. PLAN ACCORDINGLY Survivors.
