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.

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
Fun fact: on mobile, the giga is neutral to tames.
I found this out when i was trying to wipe out some guy's tames in my server with a wild giga but the giga just stood there, and just wandered.
it applies when you are riding mounts too (for example, quetzal, galliminus, equus, argentavis*)
*that one guy who said that their argy ran out of stamina and landed next to a giga, if you're on mobile, that's perfectly fine since the giga is neutral to tames.
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!

An easy way to tame it with no trap is to just a tapejara's passenger seat and have a friend follow it so you can shoot it
You see one god help you and just try to run
I had a friend I said I’d give him $100 if he ran away from the giga he did not want the money anymore as I laughed I saw the giga turn to and left my friend by accident just flew away
I came back ......eventually
I TAMED A LVL 145 WITH TRANQ ARROWS AND A MASTERCRAFT CROSSBOW, IT IS PERFECTLY POSIBLE, took me ages and like 520 shots but you can do it if you don’t want to waste a lot of resources, also I used like 200 bio toxin and some raw mutton, good luck people!
Look on ragnorok in highlands theres a lot of mutton there so no need for kibble
60 tranq darts bullshit went through 2 stacks and still didn't go down, it was only level 90 and I had a 483.6% long neck
If you see one near you base and you can't kill it or tame it use a pterodon and go somewhere safe and shoot it to get it's attention and lead it to some where not near you base
Tip on conserving narctotics for this guy: Let his torpor almost completely drain then use a few hundred Narcotics. The time it takes for the torpor to refill and drain again buys you a lot more time.
Also bring a decent carnivore to source raw prime meat on the spot so you don't waste time or taming effectiveness, futher decreasing the narcotics needed.
These guys become extremely unnecessary if you tame carcha.Taming one of these is hard job you will need tons of tranq arrows ranging from 200 and others put bio toxin in it
Tamed an R-Giga today, Got me nearly 10 times before i knocked him out safe to say ill never to it again😃
DO NOT I repeat DO NOT try taming one of these bad boys by flying with an argey to a ledge and shooting the giga. You will drain your ammo, break your gun, kill your argey then fall off the cliff only to be devouered by this ravonous beast. I lost my favorite argey. R.I.P Amara, you were such a good companion.
