Tips & Strategies
You have to tame one they are good fighters and fast and im gonna tell you how to tame one in 5 steps
Step 1: you have to craft 4 mettaldinosaur gates and 1 beartrap
Step 2:now you use 3 of the gates and place them like that: |_| and the beartrap in the middle
Step 3: the hardest and most dangerous step, you need to get him agro at you and lead the giga inside, the best way is to fly with a argy or pteranodon (i use argy because i think its better) but be carefull he is strong and can kill you easily
Step 4: when he is trapped in the beartrap go fast behind him and place the 1 gate you have left so he is stuck
Step 5: begin shooting at him with tranq darts or if you ran out of tranq darts you can use tranq arrows too dont worry
Step 6: when he is knockt put meat in his inventory or exceptional kibble (kibble is better)
But be carefull his tranq is going down fast (very fast) so you HAVE TO use narcotics

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. Itโs 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 itโs caught in the bear trap. When itโs 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. Itโs recommended for a tribe-mate to help you.
START FEEDING: put the food in the gigaโs inventory and keep an eye on itโs torpor.
I hope this was helpful ๐
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 โi am going to tame a gigaโ 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 donโt have tranq darts๐ 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 wonโt regret it.
TO THE GUY THAT SAID METAL SIGNPOSTS WORK, IT JUST WALKS RIGHT OVER THEM.
f for my argy
It takes about 5000 stone and 125 slingshots to knock one out
Anyone up to the challenge vote u
I knocked one out with a HUGE amount of froggoโs I started with 35 frogs all level 100-150 and by the time he fell I had 4 frogs one ^ is a frog memory!
If you're low on metals or want a trap that doesn't cost too much then use metal billboards. They work the same as metal gates and basically just cheaper. Be sure to use large bear traps tho.
