ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
Taming a giga itself is very simple and straightforward like when you’re low level and you want to tame a rex.
the hardest part is, the preparation, costs, and finding the giga.
and the best way to tame it solo is by trapping it in a metal cage, also
get an ascendant longneck rifle, or a compound bow, anything that deals atleast 800-1000 damage knock out weapon. but even with this level 60’s need like 30-70 darts on their faces, and also, pack a bunchload of narcotics, preferably 300, or comfortably 500
if on mobile, get a soothing balm as i highly recommended it.
now, i have tamed one and the way i tamed it was mission impossible style :cool:
So, i got a grappler and grappled onto the giga’s back where it cannot bite me, and then just started shooting darts. although be careful, once he is torpor running, the grapple will break and while torpor running, you cannot grapple it.
and lastly, TF GIGAS SUCK
LIKE BRO 1 LEVEL DOSENT EVEN GIVE ME 1% AND, STAMINA PER LEVEL IS LITERALLY 4
EVEN SLAP ON A FREAKIN GOLD CHAIN OR EVEN MUTATIONS
HOLY HELL LEVELLING THIS PAIN-IN-THE-BUTTHOLE CREATURE HAS THE WORST STATS IVE EVER SEEN, LITERALLY A TAMED GIGA IS SO NERFED, ITS COMPARABLE TO 3 REXES OR 2 SPINOS
BRO
ITS SUCKS
AND, DONT GET ME STARTED, YOU CANT REQUEST IT ON MOBILE, (TELEPORTING TO YOU), AND ITS SO SLOW
GETS STUCK ON THE SMALLEST ROCKS, GETS MAD OVER THE SMALLEST CLIFFS, AND LASTLY,
it deals
only
150 dmg……..
my spino literally does 5 times of that……
pls buff tamed giga to be atleast comparable to 5 rexes instead of 3 rexes…..
More Giganotosaurus Taming & KO Tips
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 😊
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.
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!
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
Just lure into a metal gate set ups some plant Xs and it will knock out you welcome
I 100% recommend charging straight on a Giga with a wooden club, you won’t regret it.
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
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!
If you're low on metals or want a trap that doesn't cost too much then use metal billboards. They work the same as metal gates and basically just cheaper. Be sure to use large bear traps tho.
