ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
Oh so you want to kill it. It’s one of the most powerful wild creatures in ark. It has tons of health, hits like a MONSTER TRUCK, and easily murders everything. Oh how do you kill it then? Easy. Just lead it into water. Gigas can’t swim so it’ll just drown
Never fight a wild giga with a tamed giga, a wild giga has 80,000 health and your tamed will usually be around 25,000 health. Also the wild giga will do more damage a bite and also has a health drain effect.
I tamed this guy with low level pulmonos where’s my trophy?
I was playing on a nice multiplayer survee with nice people, I got a bronto, mutated blue wolf, eerie tapejara, and an argie. I join a tribe with someone and we go to his base (on the back of fars peak and right across from carnivore island) and one day I spawn in, and see one of my arges died, I'm like oh. It must have starved. That's sad. Then I look at the logs and see "your dodo has been killed by a giganotosaurus!" I instantly start panicking and I type in the chat about it. Everyone is curious. Low and behold I see a giant giga tail right next to my flimsy base with spike walls. It agros on me, and I start RUNNING. My bronto attacks it and the behemoths fight. My bronto's death was not in vein though. I had enough time to save 5 out of 17 dinos. I'd say that's pretty good compared to nothing. I still have their graves to this day.
So for taming a giga in mobile its too ez. There is a giga logic in mobile that it will not aggro on you if you are on a tame (any) and unless if you hurt them. So just use a argy, sit under its feet literally and put the metal gates around it and trap it. And then get a distance of atleast 30-40m and start tranqing it. BTW after trapping it, i will recommend to sleep then knock it out after waking bcz it will be starving due to trap logic (only works in mobile). Then put the balm and prime. Boom it will tame instantly due to starving and we dont need to get worried for its torpor drain. Thanks me later...

Run. Just run. RIP level 300 wyvren
The babies need a ridiculous amount of food. Had to commit genocide to make my little bastard a snack.
Apparently they live in mountains. All I wanted was some crystal...
For people who can’t find gigas (mobile), go on the grass plain between griffin mountain and frozen tooth, tidy save and add it in your backup data.After that, roam around frozen tooth and you should see the giga.If you aren’t satisfied with the level/gender then go back to the backup and restore the save.When you go back to the spot where you find your first giga you should see a different one.Repeat until you find the right one
If you see these things, place a bed and fast travel.
I got every thing to tame a giga but I found no giga and I'm scared to do it
If you see this guy don't stand run for your life if he sees you don't run to your base
WHEN TAMED! On a pvp server mostly make sure 100% of the time he/she is in a separate cage completely away from all other Dino's!! This is because after a certain amount of dmg done to the giga he will begin to "rage" he will turn on you even after all the happy memories you've had. Also even attacking all his Dino friends! :( so be sure to lock up this beast of a Dino!
Gigas drown very easily, always keep that in mind, it could save your ass one day
If you want this weapon of mass destruction I’ll give tips:
You’ll need:
-A trap bc this thing is actually hard to hit without a trap.( I used 4 metal gates but any trap that’s big enough works)
-Your KO weapon(it doesn’t have to be a longneck, crossbow worked fine)
Now you know what you’ll need, let’s get to taming.
1. find a giga.
Gigas are basically ONLY found in mountains or snow and you’ll know it when you see one.(they are bronto-sized rexes)
2. Set up the trap.
A preferred place to set the trap is on any sort of flat ground, lead the giga in. If it doesn’t get stuck, the trap doesn’t work or you’re just skill issue.
3. KO the giga.
This should be easy but will take awhile. Don’t stop shooting because it’s torpor drops fast.
4. Feed it.
You can starve it or give it prime(don’t ask where raw meat went)it’s up to you, give it 100 biotoxin when it’s on low torpor and you’re set.
Now you have machine of death. It wasn’t that hard wasn’t it?

If you are on mobile here is a tip for you
Craft 4 big billboard and then craft a 7 giant bear trap place it on flat surface and also kill all the carnivores around you so i it won't disturb during your taming procession, put 3 big billboards around, and left some one big Billboard on your hotbar then put the 7 giant bear trap, if you have trapped the giga on the 3 billboards with 7 bear trap go patch the last billboard. Warning! If the torpor of the giga are almost full he can flea away but it won't hurt you instead he is the one who would be scared. Fact☝🏻.big billboards won't get damaged for some reason and it's important for trapping any dinos. Sorry for my grammar just trying too help😁
