The only real way to tame a giga is using a trap because missing one shot or letting run for even a bit too long can make you have to waste 10 more shots
Don't live in areas but gauges spawn commonly it sucks
The Rex was about the same size but in ark the giga is 4 x bigger
Don’t be cheap with the narcotics. Use the best you’ve got, use a LOT and don’t look away. I looked away for ten seconds and he woke up. Had to use another 200 arrows to put him down again.
If you raise one make sure you have a cryopod and something to get a lot of meat I is only a pain in the arse for the first few hours
If one spawns near your base get your good dinos and abandon it unless you foolishly think u can take it on
How to tame a giga (The island map):
Bring:
-A lot of arrows or tranqulizer darts (Max lvl needs 853 tranq darts)
-Sooting balm (Recommended) (If possible bring a 15x or 10x sooting balm)
-Taming foods (Recommended its preferred kibble)
-A lot of Narotics/Biotoxin (For me I brought 200)
-1-2 Large bear traps (Optional)
-4-5 Metal Dino gateway (Optional)
Taming with trap:
Find a giga. They usually spawn on high mountains. Try finding them at the artic or Far's peak. Set your trap,Use 3 of your dino gateway and a large bear trap in the middle and make the trap like this: \_/ . Get the giga to aggro on you and lead it to the trap. Take your final dino gateway and close the trap. Now, Shoot it with arrows or tranq darts. When its' knocked out, Feed it the recommended sooting balm and kibble, or use meat if not possible. Keep an eye on its torpor and feed it bio toxin or narotics if necessary. Wait for a while and you'll get it. Make sure to protect it to while its being tamed! Goodluck, Players!
I haven't tamed one yet, but here's two ideas how to do it safely
1: Common Trap
Outrunning a giga on a mountain is near impossible ehile shooting tranqs, thankfully us human beings aren't stupid. Gather 4-6 Metal dino gates and either ride a dino and place them ehile giga is standing or lure it inside (suggested use beartrap to hold it in) afterwards, just fire away!
2. Cliff Hang
My original plan was to use a Tapajara and hang on a cliff while shooting, so when topor run occurs, I can grapple on it or use Quetzal trick to KO the giga. Not sure if this idea works, but worth a go if you don't have metal gates.
TAMING GOOD FOR DINGLE PLAYER
Quetzal Kibble or raw prime meat are literally your only hope, along with over 100 narcotics or bio toxins. If you have a soothingbalm, it'll definitely take care of timespending.
Up so peeps can see.

AS SOON AS ITS KNOCKED OUT FEED IT BIOTOXIN IMMEDIATELY ITS DRAIN IS MONSTROUS.
Get the high ground and dart it
At the Highlands on Ragnarok, if you see a giga, try luring it into a cave at the river where there is a small pond. You can lure the giga inside it and it will be trapped. From there, just pump it with tranq arrows. Alternatively, you can shrink the size of the pond by putting stone gates so the giga can't move much. After you're done, just cryo the tamed giga or build a ramp so it can climb out
Killing a wild giga with a tamed giga is suicidal, unless you own a max level pair with almost 300 armor value for the saddle and both are fully imprinted. I only recommend this method against low level gigas, around levels 1 to 5. Anything higher and you need to swarm them with fully imprinted high level gigas with better saddle armor. Many of them will still die, but they'll get the job done.
to tame a giga in ark mobile you need Quetz kibble.I recomend using prime meat if you dont have kibble... For knocking out I recomend using shocking arrovs they are made by using arrovs(normal) and bio tocin.
If you want to increase your giga health so you have to breed and imprint it .
All I’m going to say is if you are using a crossbow is bring a spare cross in inventory and pack hundreds of tranqs I had to re-trap and shoot five times because I would run out of arrows or my crossbow would break, save yourself the trouble and prepare. If you have a mid check the narcotics.
I sent All frogs I had 100 then I had 1 frog left this was a 155 giga
Idiots just grapple on a cliff and parachute then shoot 20000 traq arrow if it don’t work it’s pissed so just give up
