To Encounter question about finding and trapping:

I have found them on all 4 of the northern peaks on the island. If you play Mobile, the pursuit takes you to the spawn points: SW side of Griffin peak, NNW side of Crystal peak, W side of the snow covered peak and N side of Blue Obelisk peak, although they may not actually be present there. I presume similar on other platforms.

I used the advice of 3 metal gates and a large bear trap then add the fourth (so thanks that person). They move downhill Very quickly but not back up, so I was successful leading them down to choke points or narrow valleys to trap.

Once trapped, attack to start food depletion, sleep, KO (ascendant longneck rifle and tranq darts) tame with balm and raw prime meat.

-Good Luck

ALTERNATIVE METHOD (for mobile)

kill it

revive it* (at obelisk, preferably green)

make it fall off the cliff while you stand at the little platform just above that

tranq it while it tries to bite you (youre in the range of the bite, but you wont take dmg and the giga wont run away once in a while)

*average giga implant costs 24 amber, max takes 48

When hatching a giga egg on mobile you will need about 7-10 standing torches (Angler Gel reccomended) and then you need to wait 5 hours (be very careful if it’s too hot or too cold) this is going to take a while, If you want to fully imprint. Make a save file about 20 seconds before the egg hatches and then keep restoring save file until you get the cuddle or walk ones, then after doing that you wait for 30 minutes then save data in about 20 or 10 (depends on you) seconds before the imprint quest finishes you just keep restoring data until you get cuddle or walk and repeat. Congrats you now have a 100% imprint giga

Got a wyvern now I don't anymore

While taming a gigs I recommend using 5 behemoth metal gate in a row and put 1 behemoth metal door on each end. Bring at least 400 tranq arrows or 350 trans darts or 300 shocking tranqs.

Wild Gigas are walking Black air forces.

The tamed ones are the complete opposite

Taming a giga itself is very simple and straightforward like when you’re low level and you want to tame a rex.

the hardest part is, the preparation, costs, and finding the giga.

and the best way to tame it solo is by trapping it in a metal cage, also

get an ascendant longneck rifle, or a compound bow, anything that deals atleast 800-1000 damage knock out weapon. but even with this level 60’s need like 30-70 darts on their faces, and also, pack a bunchload of narcotics, preferably 300, or comfortably 500

if on mobile, get a soothing balm as i highly recommended it.

now, i have tamed one and the way i tamed it was mission impossible style :cool:

So, i got a grappler and grappled onto the giga’s back where it cannot bite me, and then just started shooting darts. although be careful, once he is torpor running, the grapple will break and while torpor running, you cannot grapple it.

and lastly, TF GIGAS SUCK

LIKE BRO 1 LEVEL DOSENT EVEN GIVE ME 1% AND, STAMINA PER LEVEL IS LITERALLY 4

EVEN SLAP ON A FREAKIN GOLD CHAIN OR EVEN MUTATIONS

HOLY HELL LEVELLING THIS PAIN-IN-THE-BUTTHOLE CREATURE HAS THE WORST STATS IVE EVER SEEN, LITERALLY A TAMED GIGA IS SO NERFED, ITS COMPARABLE TO 3 REXES OR 2 SPINOS

BRO

ITS SUCKS

AND, DONT GET ME STARTED, YOU CANT REQUEST IT ON MOBILE, (TELEPORTING TO YOU), AND ITS SO SLOW

GETS STUCK ON THE SMALLEST ROCKS, GETS MAD OVER THE SMALLEST CLIFFS, AND LASTLY,

it deals

only

150 dmg……..

my spino literally does 5 times of that……

pls buff tamed giga to be atleast comparable to 5 rexes instead of 3 rexes…..

I know gegas spowen on the side of a mountain but I was just trying to tame a griffin

A level 5 giga nearly killed my level 48 argentavis. so let me make this clear, ABSOLUTELY UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES FIGHT THIS THING UNLESS YOU ARE A HUNDRED LEVELS ABOVE IT AND CERTAIN IT WONT RIP YOUR FACE OFF

In ark mobile other gigas dont rage when one does go rage

I tamed one on ragnarok it’s was horrible 76 melee and like 2000 health stupid stupid ragnarok gigas

You can find Gigas on the snowy mountains.

Here's a quick tip for taming that I stole from nooblets, go on an argy and go find a giga(bring a crossbow with a grappling hook,and maybe a few friends) after you met the giga, grapple your argy and a get at a position to shoot it with tranq arrows or darts(its more easier with friends cause the giga runs away if it cant get you, so get a friend on the same argy and follow it)once you have tranqed it go down a shove its face full of kibble or meat(if you want to waste 3 hours of your life on a virtual creature) then quickly feed it tons of narcotics dont get this thing out of your sight or jealous naked people will come up and kill it

I am only a middle rank player, but from my observations, it turns out that wild T-Rex’s and Giga,s are best buds and they won’t fight and also this is only in mobile. I wouldn’t suggest trying this out in any other game.

When taming, use the four metal dino gates of course, but I actually recommend using a tapejara so you can hover above the trapped giga and shoot it from the back seat of the tapejara, as it’s common to trap the figs in a dangerous area.

If you can’t find any gigas try killing other Dino’s so then the ratio of Dino’s is low so then Robson Dino’s spawn so then you can have a giga spawn

Found out on fjord there is a giga variant called the “R-Giga”

I saw a giga and a tyna (idk why the tyna isn't on dododex) on the green obelisk mountain just go to the top edge of the green obelisk island. but it might not have one. Also there's a explorer note on the mountain

Best way to aggro giga is steal her egg. If you only hit it , it only aggro for a few second and can lose aggro easily.

Just use four metal Dino gateways and one large bear trap, then put three gateways down one anywhere and then put two more to the side and put the large bear trap in the middle, then get the giga stuck in the large bear trap and run behind it and place the last metal gateway.
