Just tamed my first giga after playing the old ark mobile and the new as well as having it for console.. after 2 years i have finally achieved victory granted it was only a lvl 5 but i lured it to the northern coast closer to blue ob mtn but in between the 2 snowy mtns then i proceeded to commit suicide by falling from said cliffside 16 times half from dismounting my flyer to clise to the edge and half to freezing. Did get chomped once, story aside with my mastercraft bow about 25-30 tranqs were needed and about 80-100 narcotics and ill say this in the time it took to jump on my bird fly down the cliff and access the inventory of the giga its tapor was already down 2/3 ended up wakeing up 4 times on me but finally i lucked out got him down loaded him with prime broke down spent the 50 keys for double tame speed and still pumping narcotics in him fast as i could he still got down to 700 tapor before he tamed, that being said the stam sucks, health got tanked hard 80k wild to 37k tamed and im doing like 100 damage vs the insta kills it was getting on me, ultimatly im disappointed beyond belief because my lvl 180 rexs (far from being max lvled) have better stats, the omly good thing iv seen so far is its vertical mobility atleast that didnt get tanked, if theres a slight angle to the terrain and not 100% vertical these guys can usully find a sweet spot to make the climb.... good luck out there with your taming! and dont just take my word on gigas it could just be where mines super low lvl it sucks so bad
More Giganotosaurus Taming & KO Tips
The things you need to tame a giga:-
1)Flyer (recommending an argy).
2)4-5 dinosaur metal gateways.
3)1-2 large bear traps.
4)10x soothing balm if your playing on mobile.
5)Your KO weapon (most recommended are ascendant longneck rifle or ascendant crossbow).
6)Your KO ammo (bring a decent amount).
7)Taming food of your choice (most recommended is raw prime meat or kibble if you can).
8)Decent amount of narcotics or bio toxin.
FIND GIGA: gigas usually spawn at mountains. On the island try looking around the volcano or the two mountains in the snow area.
SET YOUR TRAP: take 3 of your metal gateways and make this shape \_/ then put a large bear trap or 2 in the middle. It’s easier if you build the trap on flat ground.
TRAP THE GIGA: get the giga to follow you and make it go inside the trap, then make sure it’s caught in the bear trap. When it’s stuck in the bear trap go behind it and complete the trap with another gateway. The final shape of the trap looks like a Trapezoidal.
KO THE GIGA: even a low level giga has a lot of torpor and it drops fast so keep shooting no matter what. It’s recommended for a tribe-mate to help you.
START FEEDING: put the food in the giga’s inventory and keep an eye on it’s torpor.
I hope this was helpful 😊
Many a tribe have been foolish enough to think they could fight a wild giga with a tamed and ended up with a dead giga. Don't be them.
I was looking to metal to make a saddle then I said to my brother “i am going to tame a giga” as a joke. Not even 10 seconds later a level 55 giga came into view. KEEP IN MIND WE ARE ONLY LEVEL 40!! We are gonna tame it tomorrow with arrows since we don’t have tranq darts😂 wish us luck!
Make 4 metal dino gates and 1 large bear trap. Place three frames and door into an incomplete square and the large bear trap in the I between them. Lure the Giga into the trap and while its trapped place 4th down to make the square. Then just light it up with tranqs
Just lure into a metal gate set ups some plant Xs and it will knock out you welcome
TO THE GUY THAT SAID METAL SIGNPOSTS WORK, IT JUST WALKS RIGHT OVER THEM.
f for my argy
I 100% recommend charging straight on a Giga with a wooden club, you won’t regret it.
Helpful hint if you have a rhyni it flys the same speed as a giga.
It takes about 5000 stone and 125 slingshots to knock one out
Anyone up to the challenge vote u
I knocked one out with a HUGE amount of froggo’s I started with 35 frogs all level 100-150 and by the time he fell I had 4 frogs one ^ is a frog memory!
