What are tips for giganotosaurus? Tips and strategies for giganotosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
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.
Never tame this thing without a trap and kibble.
Would recommended a quetzal drop ship to tame or kill for its maneuverability
Taming this is not easy better use smooting balm
Here’s an idea.
Pick a scene, prefably one were you can find a giga so maybe snow biome or maybe a Mounties area, dismount your giga and remove its saddle then remove your armour and shield and hold a wooden spear, get close to the giga so it looks down at you and have a friend take a photo
For a better effect build a small thatch house nearby
Gigas are easy to tame when you have a dinosaur gate way and large dinosaur Bear trap but mobile use boi toxin when his almost awake use prime meat to get 20.5 taming on my mobile
I suggest taking a Tapejara or griffin to shoot off of
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!
AS SOON AS ITS KNOCKED OUT FEED IT BIOTOXIN IMMEDIATELY ITS DRAIN IS MONSTROUS.
Tamed using the metal gateway method w/ beartrap. Biotoxin is incredibly useful. I crypoded my equus to take with me in case I needed emergency narcotics. Traps are a must for solo players.
DO NOT use a tamed Giga to kill a wild Giga. Tamed Gigas gain a massive nerf to health and attack and lack the ability to use the gnashed debuff like the wild Gigas can. If high lvl, imprinted and with a high quality saddle, you might be able to take on a low lvl Wild however.
Treat Wild Gigas like bosses, use a well leveled and saddled army of tames specced into melee and HP. Wild Gigas have 80k HP and 500 base melee, for reference a base Rex has a mere 1.1k hp and 65 base melee. Alternatively a mother load of auto turrets with a ton of ammo protected by metal gateways can eventually kill a Giga.
There is a alpha gigs but it’s a mod
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
I recommend having an Argo for a flier to get this guy. 10x soothing balm(you may not have it since wrong device). 20 - 50 large bear traps. For the tranquilizer to work and him not to wake up. Try shooting him with Tranq arrows when he’s down. 7 behemoth gateways. And lure him into the trap. Make sure he doesn’t get out of the bear traps. I recommend using 6 or 7 bows. If you liked the info. Hit the button facing the sky /\ If you disliked the info. Hit the button facing underground \/
Take a crossbow with some grabs hooks and then you hook. Hook yourself up to its ass and knock it down
I use 4 metal dino gates to trap. Put 3-4 in place of choice (clear carnivores before in the area), leave a gap for giga to enter, then put 1-2 bear traps in the middle. the last dino gate put once giga is in bear trap. i use thylacaleo to lure giga in the trap. thyla is fast and decent hp, put some points in both. i just took lvl 150 on official pve server down with ca 300 darts and 257% longneck. bring everything 20% more than adviced here just in case. put see sleeping bag. once giga is down surround it with 15 wooden spikes but check giga torpor meanwhile, it starts dropping 400 per second. let it drop half then spam narcotics. you can dosm hundreds, check dododex and put more just calculate that 100 narc will up torpor by 4000 so u need it to be half or something to spam all narc in and then sit down and relax. if u have it surrounded with spikes. i put also thyla on aggressive to keep animals away from me, they will probably not attack wild giga, but you. i also bring wyvern and put it on agressive and in turret mode then it will not fly away. good luck!
