Tips & Strategies
You HAVE to trap these things, it is not negotiable, you don’t trap it you will find yourself killed, I would recommend having 3 metal dinosaur gates, and a large bear trap place 2 in a sort of triangle position /\ then place the bear trap in between them, lure the Giga into the bear trap and run to the back of the trap and place a gate down behind it, then it is stuck, make sure to bring around 250 tranq darts if it’s a high lvl, don’t come unprepared or the Giga will regen all its torpor, also make sure it is stuck in the trap, don’t instantly get off your mount or it will most likely Aggro on you and that’s a terrifying experience where your heart rate accelerates 200, also keep your distance, their bite range is crazy, and that’s about every tip I have for Giga taming, also, only pump points into melee.

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.
This mf finna molest you if you try to tame it
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
If you fly an argy near it, fly around the shattered ice for a while he will sometimes get stuck between 2 floats and since he is so big he can't move. Then sit nearby with plenty of prime meat or mutton and 125-150 narcotics, you can blast him with darts... He's Yours! (This is how I do it).
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.
