What are tips for giganotosaurus? Tips and strategies for giganotosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
One suggestion if you do the bed trick BEFORE it’s knocked out it’s gonna cause huge food loss. Much more than starve or even doing the bed trick after knocking it out.
When you see this on fast creatures category and you went to test out if it really is fast..
Found a 420 giga on mobile, the problem is taming it since it has 216000 torpor
If you are planning to tame one, I really suggest to trap the giga!
This is an necessity because it moves a lot and you might miss, And apparently like some people say; Giga regents torpor faster than you can deal.
I would also suggest to bring an compound bow and toxicant arrow instead.
Bonus tip; If you are in mobile don’t shoot it in the midst of the grand hills, It’s gonna run and technically might run so far that you can’t render it and you need to follow it to hit it.
Therefore you should use higher graphics but this could be optional if you used traps.
If you don’t have enough resources for gates, don’t use stone walls!
Instead bring them to the Stoney place and camp the highest stone, Don’t trust hills, they can either not reach you but still bite you.
If a giga ever wants to kill you, there isn't a force in nature that can stop it.
Okay if you EVER knock one out do not get bored and go into its mouth remember to feed it narcotics and bio toxin I learned the hard way… :(
Check up on YouTube, metal pillar giga trap best thing ever, got a level 13 giga with no hassle thanks to the trap, make sure it's the updated version of the trap and they can't get out of it......................thank me later
DONT
use the risky 4 gate 1 bear trap method!
USE
the better giga trap from the johtunn bandit (youtube)
its cheaper, easier, giga can enter from all sides, its traped without doing or placing anything else.
i tested it myself and it works!
On the island map you will always find one at The Frozen Fang region.
If you are on rag go to the highlands there is usually 1-2 to gigs and if you lucky they might both be high levels and girl and boy. Tame them with the most simple trap you get 3 metal gateways Put one horizontal and put the 2 vertical so its like a opened box the trap should look like this I_I then get a big bear trap. Lure the giga into the trap and he will get trapped bring 1 more metal gateway put it on the side without one and it is then trapped. Just trans it from there on
If you are unlucky enough to encounter one of these monsters, get in the fetal position and hope it’s over quickly.
If you make your base on the south side of the wyvern heir nest on crystal isles and one of these bad boys spawn at your base I have no advice but to abandon all hope and let it destroy everything you own because it will kill you and everything you own unless you have something rediculesly strong (btw these things spawn south of the crystal heir nest in the desert on crystal isles so now you know where not to build or where to find one)
Gigas will spawn at the mountain nearest carno island they will spawn on the north side and near blue ob on the north or west side of the mountain they also spawn be careful these guys will destroy you with one bite
I couldnt help but laugh at all the story’s on here. I had an encounter where a gigs had his head stuck in a rock I figured well let’s see if it is actually stuck. It wasn’t but I happened to be in my 142 pter and I went to the top of the volcano and killed him with an ascendant longneck
The best way to K.O a giga is to get 4 matel billboards and place to make a square then take 2 wood foundation 4 wood doorways and 4 wood ramps to make a ramp into your box. After that lead the giga into the trap preferably with a flyer that has over 600 hp
To tame these, put 3 metal dinosaur gateway and keep in mind to put a large bear trap in the middle as well. Now, lure the giga in and put another dinosaur gateway behind the giga so it is trapped in place. Use a longneck rifle with tranquilizer darts to make it knocked out. Not that this will take a while. After knocked out, feed it lots of narcotics and raw prime meat. Enjoy your giganotosaurus! Pls click the green button if you like it. Thanks
Bring friends to help with flying while you dangle from the argy
You have to tame one they are good fighters and fast and im gonna tell you how to tame one in 5 steps
Step 1: you have to craft 4 mettaldinosaur gates and 1 beartrap
Step 2:now you use 3 of the gates and place them like that: |_| and the beartrap in the middle
Step 3: the hardest and most dangerous step, you need to get him agro at you and lead the giga inside, the best way is to fly with a argy or pteranodon (i use argy because i think its better) but be carefull he is strong and can kill you easily
Step 4: when he is trapped in the beartrap go fast behind him and place the 1 gate you have left so he is stuck
Step 5: begin shooting at him with tranq darts or if you ran out of tranq darts you can use tranq arrows too dont worry
Step 6: when he is knockt put meat in his inventory or exceptional kibble (kibble is better)
But be carefull his tranq is going down fast (very fast) so you HAVE TO use narcotics
