Fun times

So me and my friend were out taming an Argy for him since his last one was suicidal and flew straight into a pack of angry Dinopithecus. Anyway, we were in the middle of taming two because he found another one with cooler colors that we could breed. We also spent an ungodly amount of time trying to tame a Hyaenadon but that’s besides the point. I thought the biggest danger in this place was the Rexes that occasionally showed up and that we just lured off of some nearby cliffs, boy was I wrong. We were minding our business, watching a Rex mess around with some nearby Argys, when out of nowhere, BOOM, level 20 Giga spawns right next to me, and my Argy, who is also apparently suicidal, goes to fight it, however this did give me enough time to escape and have my friend get me to safety with his newly tamed Argy. Now, being the smart folk that we were, we figured we can tame it. We unloaded a crapload of tranq arrows into it with little effect, and it decided to break physics and climb up some basically unclimbable rocks and one-shot me through the ground. My friend had already placed a bed there beforehand thanks to an unfortunate encounter with a lvl 45 Sabertooth. I respawned to grab my stuff, and realized I was out of tranq arrows, but my friend kept going and going, still with no visible effect. But then, he started running. I don’t remember if he came back or stayed over where he ran off too, the next bits are a little hazy. Somehow, from the place he was shooting it, my friend managed to fall off and kill himself. He respawned and fell and died again. Finally he got his stuff, and while the Giga was roaming around we tamed some new Argys and got the hell out of there, vowing that we would be back, that we would conquer the Giganotosaurus! However that might be a while, we need to get a lot stronger if we plan to tame that Giga. In the meantime we found a Quetzal that we’re gonna try to tame so wish us luck with that.
