ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
As a beginner in Ark Survival Evolved, taming a Giga may seem like quite the daunting task. However, with some proper planning and preparation, you can successfully tame one of the most feared creatures in the game.
First and foremost, it's important to note that taming a Giga is not something that should be attempted alone. It's recommended that you gather a group of experienced players who can help you take on this challenge. Additionally, it's important to have a well-defended base to retreat to should things go south.
Assuming you've gathered a team and fortified your base, the next step is to set out and find a Giga. These creatures can be found in a variety of locations, but they tend to prefer mountainous terrain. Once you've located a Giga, it's important to plan out your attack carefully.
A common method for taming a Giga involves using a high-level Rex or a pack of Allosauruses to attack the creature from a safe distance. The goal is to lower the Giga's health without killing it. Once the Giga is sufficiently weakened, you can approach it with Tranquilizer Darts or Tranquilizer Arrows to knock it unconscious.
It's worth noting that taming a Giga requires an enormous amount of resources, including a vast quantity of narcotics, a significant amount of food, and a large supply of time. Patience and persistence are key to this process.
Once the Giga is unconscious, it's time to begin the taming process. This involves feeding it a vast quantity of raw meat or kibble, depending on your preference. The taming process can take several hours, but it's essential to keep a close eye on the Giga's health and keep it well-fed.
In conclusion, taming a Giga as a beginner in Ark Survival Evolved requires careful planning, teamwork, and a lot of resources. It's not a task for the faint of heart, but with dedication and perseverance, you can successfully tame one of the most challenging creatures in the game.
More Giganotosaurus Taming & KO Tips
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.
