ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
Um So a Giga is a big creature in Ark. Don’t go near it thinking you can outrun it or kill it. The Gita can one bit, and kill almost anything. One bite and it breaks through your riot armor killing you. These beasts can break through stone structures tamed and wild. To tame one, I recommend using 4 metal Dino gateways and placing them down, next lead the Giga into the trap, place large bear trap in the middle and close the trap with the 4th gateway. A low lvl, like a level 3 should take about 200-300 tranq arrows with a crossbow. Their torpor drops fast so I would use bio toxin. About 100 toxin should keep him stable. I would also recommend using a balm, (10x or 14x only which you can buy or get from caves), raw prime meat, or it’s preferred kibble which is Quetzal Egg kibble (you can make it or get it from the chefs station in Ark Mobile). The saddle unlocks at level 96, but I’ve heard there’s a chance of getting a blueprint of it from lucky loot drops and the hard snow cave tribute.
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 😊
Remember in the island thay can spawn in the volcano so you can just block the entrance and traq it down carcha to
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
Fully imprinting a giga will NOT cause its health to be doubled but instead gain 16000 extra health, this is because when it is tamed the giga gets -63000 health and -80% melee damage but when it is imprinted the giga gets a 20% increase of every base stat of a normal giga.
It takes about 5000 stone and 125 slingshots to knock one out
Anyone up to the challenge vote u
