What are tips for giganotosaurus? Tips and strategies for giganotosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Three of these spawned near my base out of no where, and then I tried to lead them to at least two or three brontosaurus, two died, and one got killed by like, 4 trikes, and I never got to see what stuff they had inside them, these things can see you from far away, and are extremely fast, so only encounter them when you know you could win
I ran away on my bird immediately when I saw one.😬
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.
If you are lucky enough to currently own an Ascendent Longneck Rifle, go for this tame. ive found that with an Ascendent level Longneck, it only takes roughly 80 tranq darts to take this beast down
If you got a fast Dino hop on it and run
These guys lose torpor so quickly so have loads of spare narcotics depending on your settings
So for those about to go after one of these for the first time, you will know them when you see them. Also keep your distance when searching, getting to close trying to get one to spawn is an easy way for one to show up and murder you :) i would def recommend a trap and good luck taming!
Trap is using four metal gateways and shocking tranks work best to knock it our fast
Build a trap using 4 Metal Gateways and 1-2 Large Bear Traps. Get it in position but make sure the Gateways are spaced out just a tad bit, finish it by placing the bear traps in the middle of the three gateways and lire the Giga in. Once they’re in the bear trap, place the final gate behind them so they can’t get out. Now, tranq them til they’re out cold. Make sure to have an absurd amount of Narcotics for this, Bio Toxins work best. If you’re on Mobile, use a 10x Soothing Balm and Quetzal Kibble, if on PC use Superior Kibble.
If you playing on mobile it's actually easy to catch one
You need
4 dinos gate way
Around 300 bio toxin for a lvl100 giga (don't spam )
Shooting balm
5 quitzel kibbel
And 200 darts if you have the regular weapon. If you have the ancient one you will need way less then that
A large bear trap
Make a u shape with the gates and put the bear trap in it
Drage him inside (use a petronodon with a hight hp ) and closs it from behind (be quick)
Kepp your distance and start shouting him (don't stop till it's down)
Feed him the shouting balm then give him the kibbel
And it's yours
While this is irrelevant since i don’t think you can tame tek gigas normally, I spawned some 8n and they are actually breedable and hatchable! This doesn’t matter to much but if you looking for a little skin change it’s pretty cool
I was taming argies and I had to find my petradon cuz my male argie was almost ( I was taming a male one cuz I just tamed a female) and I saw a giga and I flew away and escaped also ( I saw a titanosaur on the way to the mountain in the east which is where I am I live on herb island it took me forever to travel.
Guys is it a glitch? I tame a giga and the melee is only 20% but when it's in the wild it almost 3shot my dire bear that have around 10k HP
If you play ark mobile I recommend a tapejara and 1-3 bear traps and min 4 metal Dino gateways 1 needs 170 metal ingots build your trap and lure in make sure you aren’t too close then fly directly up now you got it trapped and now you wait for a few days and come back then you better start taming the food would have dropped lol you just feed it some and now you have a killer machine
Ok everyone you will find these BEASTS in the two mountains near carno island!
Hope this helps!
I’ve tamed many Giga’s. The trick to being able to do other thing while taming one is when torpor is going up. It takes a lot longer for the torp to go up then down. Ex. Torp drains in 3mins, but when you give narcs it take 20-25 mins to fill(JUST AN EXAMPLE!!!!) so that’s when you can leave an do other things. Nothing bothers a sleeping giga! Your welcome!
Hey sooo I’m a normal mobile player I can only have 40 creatures..... what is the best creatures to bring for the battle -scary equus
Tangle wit these an they'll tear you to pieces , so heres a helpful tips from a person whose favorite purple and black argue was murdered by this beast: You don't have to be faster than the Giga , only faster than a genius decoy dodo.
I have never seen one now I will never go to the mountains 😌
