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
If you want to find one I would recommend to transfer on ragnarok or visit the Mountains on the island, you can also go to lava Island.
If you trap it with a large bear trap, it will stay trapped for about 10 seconds. Use those 10 seconds to tranq it with freinds. When it is tranqed, feed it meat, but when it's torpor drain gets low (which it will), don't shoot it or punch it or anything. Put narcrotics in its inventory and use right tab on Xbox one (there will be a button on mobile), and its unconscious bar will start gaining for a while, and it's health will go up a little, so when you tame it it still has high health, if not damage (it loses damage% when it is tamed)
Go somewhere high where it can’t get you and shoot it
They drown.
Very.
Easily.
You're welcome.
If you ever see this creature, I recommend to run away even if it's a level 1. You can't outrun it and it will only take 2-3 attacks to kill you or your tames with 800HP or lower. If you are riding on a flyer than fly higher cause they can easily reach you.
If you're character is slow on running and wants to tame a gigs while trapping it. I recommend to use a speedy tame like a gallimimus or a pterodactyl so that you will not die while attempting to trap it.
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
Raised one with 1009% as baby in melee damage as adult 1500% + melee damage after levels killed a titanosaur before stamina ran out 400 stamina and about 50 stamina leftover
If you are going to tame this thing then you need
1. A flyer, bigger the better
2. 10 stacks of ammo
3. High quality crossbows or rifles
4. 3-5 Metal gateways(it can destroy stone)
5. Large bear trap
6. Food, kibbles if you can
7. 1000 Narcotics or bio toxin
Step 1. Find giga(usually on mountains)
Step 2. Land with a decent distance
Step 3. Put 2 gateways in a v shape and bear trap in the middle
Step 4. Let it go agro on you and make it go to the trap
Step 5. Place the last gateway to form a triangle around the giga
Step 6. Shoot constantly through gateway
Step 7. KO it and feed food and soothing balm if you have one
Step 8. DO NOT go away, it will wake up any minute, and feed narcotic or toxin occasionally
Step 9. Realise that a tamed giga is MUCH weaker than a wild one
I took one good look at him and RAN
Best way to knock out is shock tranqs
I would tame this with 4 Dino gateways and 2 bear traps watch out these things can bit from afar
Once when I was farming crystals I then saw a giga lv 12 so I thought I could kill it will a max lv Rex and a ok spino let’s say goobye to both of them rip
So when I came across from one of these guys, I was riding on my lvl 127 wyvern. And I thought, hey, it would be nice to tame a giga. I tried, the topor goes down realy fast, so I'd get a lot of nacos. Oh, and RIP my poor wyvern.
I suggest you place two metal gateways forming a triangle half and put a large bear trap in the middle lure him into the two metal walls once he gets stuck place a large gateway at the end of the trap for him to get stuck once hes stuck tranq him with toxicant arrows i suggest using an ascendant or journeyman comp but if you dont have any of those a regular bow or comp bow will do just be sure to bring more narcotics like a couple thousand just to be sure its torpor drains fast so be sure to bring a lot found this concept on youtube watch pterafier in youtube title (giga spotlight)
Killed a lvl 90, ark mobile sp (max lvl 300). I was lvl 76.
Went to get 4x exp before I killed it.
Didn’t get a level up.
Killing one of these things should give you at least two level ups, just saying. They’re monsters. You don’t even get their full power when you tame them, and you don’t even get a level up when you kill them.
On valguero they're found near the green orb area.
Ragnorok you can find them in the desert, highlands and the green forest area.
I recommend doing it with team members but solo works too.
If you're doing it solo:
Get a spy glass and find a giga and see what level it is.
Get your narcotics ready (the amount that is needed & also bring extra incase)
Get your desired weapon and ammo ready (you can also use a crossbow and tranq arrows but it will take longer. Bring lots of the same weapon and ammo incase your weapon breaks mid tame and bring more ammo for potential missed shots).
Get 4 metal regular dino gates and set 3 of them up in a square position. Put a large bear trap in the middle.
Somewhat further away from your trap place a bed and a storage box.
Put all your supplies in the storage box.
Lure it
Grab supplies
Shoot it from distance
When trapped in bear trap, put the 4th gate behind it! Shoot it down. If you die you most likely won't get your stuff back.
