When I was on the Island map and I flew with my pteranodon to mine for some metal. I was flying on top of the mountain and then a level 30 giga spawned. WHO THE HECK PLACED IT THERE. And the worst part is, MY PTERANODON HAD STAMINA THAT WAS TRASH. EVEN MORE WORSE, I DIDN'T HAVE MY LONG NECK RIFLE TO KILL OR TRY TO TAME THE GIGA. I landed like 390 meters away from the giga. He didn't spot us. So maybe I was safe. WRONG. When I was mining metal. I didn't see that my tames have gone down from 23/ 40 to 22/40. When returned the same place my pteranodon was, she was gone and more importantly, The giga killed her and then ran for a rex. The only part I saw was the giga kill a rex while mining. R.I.P Stacy

I just had one of the most TERRIFYING ark moments of my life. so, on The Island, I took my argy and flew to the tundra to pick out a second base spot, I was looking around the mountain and saw a giga below me, I got my telescope and kinda circled over it and looked at it for a bit, then suddenly I realized my argy was flying down... it ran out of stamina and at that moment I was like: “sh_t were gonna fricking die.” I legit thought me and my precious argy were going to die because it crossed RIGHT BELOW US as we were going down and we TOUCHED. IT. once we landed I kinda stood there waiting for the stamina bar to go up and I must have been blessed or something because I got the hell out of there the moment I could see the stamina going up. The giga didn’t notice me, it was busy killing mammoths. THANK GOD. I’m still shaking... I got close enough that I could see the Dododex button.

I died My griffin right next to giga. My stone structures next to giga. Giga’s Brain: I rather eat stone than griffin. I get my stuff that’s right near giga. Back away. Tamed it while eating stone. SUCCESS. Now I have a lvl 170 giga that murders everything and my griffin still alive. Thanks to gigas Favoring stone over food

Anyone else think the Giga should be given a bigger roar? Like the health goes down and so does the melee damage at least give it a blood stopping roar.

A level 28 giga spawned close to where I lived and I was really worried it would have destroyed all my games and everything I build. So like an idiot I took my quetzal, grappled it and drained 1000 bullets from my assault rifle into the giga only to take away half its health. But if you hurt it bad and it can’t reach you it will eventually run. Try to drive it out to sea and make sure it’s focused on you. It won’t realize that it’s health is being drained by megs and like that your house and tames are safe.

Omg I just shot like 500 narco arrows into a 130 giga and I began to worried as I start running out. I’m on my last arrow and shoot, praying it knocks out, and it just looks at me, so since it’s in flee mode, I run up punch it, and it knocks out. Craziest thing ever

Once upon a time, there was an ARK Mobile player. He fell in love with the game, playing it every chance he could. He started befriending dinos on this wild island, and eventually tamed a Pteranodon. He had stripes and was blue, and its owner liked him very much. As they went on more and more expeditions together, their bond strengthened day by day. The owner was having his most enjoyable time in his life.

One day, the player stumbled across an ascendant giganotosaurus saddle. He thought to himself: 'Hey, why don't I tame a Giga?' And so he did. He prepared for this grueling mission, knowing full well the risks and dangers of such a task. But, blinded by his greed and naïveness, all he could think of was: 'What could possibly go wrong?'

Soon, the day came. With a soothing balm, prime meat, over 100 tranq arrows and a Pteranodon, he set out to tame this beast. Brimming with confidence, he found one in the Arctic and settled on a high cliff, one where the Giga could not reach. He slept before starting to starve the dino, and started shooting down the Giga. But by the slip of his foot, he came tumbling down the hill. He whistled for his Pteranodon, and he came flying over.

Suddenly, a huge roar was heard, echoing through the sky. The Giga came pounding towards the duo. Biting the player. The player ran and escaped, hanging on a thread. But it was not the same for his beloved Pteranodon. In order to protect his owner, he spread his wings, trying to fight off the Giga. Try as he might, he fell in battle. His owner was devastated. He was alive, but at what cost? The owner, streaked with grief, vowed one day to take revenge...

Here we pay respects to the beloved Pteranodon, Larry. He was loyal and brave, saving his owner's life in exchange for his own. He will be missed, and will watch us down from the sky. Rest in peace, my friend.
