What are tips for giganotosaurus? Tips and strategies for giganotosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Hello everyone! Mobile ark player here, I’ll recommend using metal gates of the largest size and getting at least three of them and once you lure a gigs with your tame you will set up the gates around the giga and then put up two metal gate doors at both ends then use a compound bow with Toxicant arrows (I’d recommend around 600-1000 of them) and shoot at the giga from a lil bit away and make sure not to be riding you dino while your doing so. Once the giga is knocked out get raw prime meat and store it in a refrigerator before you place a bed down and sleep to get the giga’s hunger down and save the meat. And then once you but the meat in the giga’s inventory it will most likely instantly tame.

Take a crossbow with some grabs hooks and then you hook. Hook yourself up to its ass and knock it down
If you’re hatching an egg make sure you are nowhere near the swamp or the desert or you will end up with a dilophosaurus stick
If you encounter a wild one of these on the mountain you are trying to mine in, once you have a Quetzal with a saddle, these guys are actually pretty easy to negotiate with. All you have to do is get it to notice you, and then kite it downwards until it either slips the rest of the way down or finds a prey item. You will have gotten rid of the beast without even provoking it, and both sides will have parted peacefully.
Very easy to kill if you drown it, I’m on ragnarok near green ob and there is a pond that is deep enough to drown them, just lure them with scuba gear and shoot them once. Very easy
Choppy is what you should name it. Make sure do you have an ascendant longneck with at least 400 darts
You can find gigas in the snow biome on valguero. Near the place that seems to spawn rock golems alot
If you think a giga is cool, wait till you see the r variant.
Trap it, shoot it until it begins to run, use a high melee mantis to left, right, goodnight it. Very fun.
The babies eat a TON. Expect to go on multiple meat runs. They also need special care in the very beginning, where they can only hold up to four meat in their inventory. I’ve never used a trough, but I’m going to, because maybe that will give me a little more free time. I also recommend building a large pen around them with a dinosaur gate. They will eventually get too big to get through the gate, but they work for the first half of their baby life. The pen is to keep them safe, and also from running away if the unexpected enemy attacks you or one of your dinos.
Tamed an R-Giga today, Got me nearly 10 times before i knocked him out safe to say ill never to it again😃
HOW TO TAME 101
1) Find a Giga. Usually in tundra mountains or around the Volcano.
2) PREPARE. The giga won't attack you if you're mounted, but keep a distance! They are fast, high topor and deadly DMG. Get alot of narcotics (jelly are super good since their HP is extremely high), get soothing balm and kibble to speed up the process too. Get a trap (4 metal dino gates or food if you don't have kibble).
3) Persue this sussy Giga! Bring a Quetzal or a Argy for flying transport and a Baryonyx or something similar to use. Land in a safe spot and eliminate any nearby creatures. IF another Giga is nearby, separate the one you want to tame.
4) Trap the giga! Use the Quetzal (or other) and land in a good spot, then ride on your chosen runner. Time this carefully! I suggest saving progress so if you mess up you can start over safely. Once the giga is standing still, QUICKLY trap em with the gates and run to a safe distance.
5) TAME IT! Once in a safe spot, fire the arrows (crossbow highly suggested, bring multiple in case!) and don't stop till its unconscious. Approach, use your chosen food (use kibble or soothing balm) and give it alot of narcotics since the topor drops DEADLY FAST!
Congrats! You've successfully tamed the Giga the Basic 101 way! (ur epic now) Be warned HP and DMG drops, and lvls kinda suck, but still fun to use! Be careful wirh breeding tho...
BE WARNED: If a giga takes DMG, the attack increases. Be careful when pursuing a giga to kill!

Had a tough time finding Gigas at all on The Island, Ragnarok and Valguero. Been a while since I played Ark but remembered we used to tame them on The Center so I went and tried there. 3 hours later I tamed a 130 and150 male. Granted I’m playing on SP but still I was doing the same on the other maps and found next to nothing for days. Don’t waste your time looking on any other map
Tame a good tapejara get a buddy have like 200 arrows or tranq darts give tapejara good stam find giga light ot up and dont die
He killed my 4 argents.. ptera by trying to tame him, giga has 2 minutes for you to keep him down with narcos... be really careful!
If you want to take IT down , its etiher guns , GOOD imprinted giga or water where it can drown. Deal 8k DMG in 2 seconds and it will roar giving you time to hit it for free. Rage mode itself only eneabels team fire , the Rage buildup increases damage and defense of the giga.
