Run. Just run. RIP level 300 wyvren
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
I tamed this guy with low level pulmonos where’s my trophy?
Apparently they live in mountains. All I wanted was some crystal...
While my brother and I are trying to tame a giga, a purlovia jumped me and my pt named TOOTHLESS, I was surrounded by dire wolves at the time and the giga was next to me. I got killed by a wolf and my brother got on my pt to save it but both toothless and my brother got killed by the giga.
Gigas drown very easily, always keep that in mind, it could save your ass one day
If you see these things, place a bed and fast travel.
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...

I love how this actually tells you how many fist hits or club hits it takes as if anyone would be dumb enough to try to knock out a wild giga with bare fists or a melee weapon. If someone shows prrof they knocked it out with their fists and no god mode/cheats on then id give them 100$ cash.
Some helpful tips
Space ur metal dino gates a tiny bit that a human can walk through the edges
Have at least 2 or 3 bear traps
Keep them there for another giga ecounter
Use a argy for best results mainly due to smithy portability and if u messed up can be fixed
If using primitive gear, carry a second or 4th if u are using tranq darts and not the shocking variant
Before tranqs get ur narcotics/biotoxin and your kibble if you have any
Make sure to clear the area before attempting the giga
Practice your sniping skills
Step 1: be on foot and shoot giga
Step 2: run like Heck and shoot
Step 3: gain experience shooting
Step 4: forget escape vehicle
Step 5: cuss and smack the controller into the tv
Step 6: cry into pillow
Step 7: get woke up by by giga chomp noises
Step 8: look outside bedroom window
Step 9: crap bricks into pants
Step 10: unknown
When you tame a giga it loses 65k health and around half it's damage.
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!
The babies need a ridiculous amount of food. Had to commit genocide to make my little bastard a snack.
Oh my Oh My, I just managed to knock out a Lvl 140 Giga on ASE, with just about 4 Primitive Longneck rifles and about, ahem, NEARLY 600 PLUS of my stock of tranq darts leaving me with just 168 of them left….
This Thing has 93k Torpor, and holy shoot people I do NOT recommend doing this, although it’s possible, doing what I did takes WAYY too long, trust me,
I’ve been sitting here shooting at this Giga for what felt like hours man,
And I thought I overprepared! With 5 extra Longnecks and as said 600 plus Tranqs, about too many to count of narcotics, so safe to say my efforts aren’t for nothing as this Lvl 140 Giga shall be my best friend!,
Now I will try with the remaining tranquility to hopefully, tame something easier……..with my remaining non-broken longnecks..
If 0.001% of you thinks “maybe this cliff isn’t tall enough”, you’re right. Leave immediately. When it comes to Gigas, “life uh finds a way”. Luckily my Argy is built different and I was able to save him and my stuff before the Giga ate him.
I have tamed my first Giga. Two of my eagles died in the process and I died several times myself. However, after two hours I was finally redeemed and my very first giga was tamed. I have never been so happy in this game. (700h)
I didn't have a name right after taming. I wanted to think of one on the way home. My path ran along the northern beach.
After 300-400m, less than 30 seconds later, I ran straight into the arms of a lvl 4 Giga.
I've rarely been as shocked as I was at that moment.
I tried everything to turn my giga around quickly. However, it had a turning circle of what felt like three trucks...
Rip Giga without a name
I've never been so broken.
I still can't believe this story...
