When you tame a giga it loses 65k health and around half it's damage.

The babies need a ridiculous amount of food. Had to commit genocide to make my little bastard a snack.

If you kill a baby giga in front of its parents for exp then the parents will instantly be enraged.

On ume and pc if a baby/juvenile/adolescent giga dies in front of its parents, or it is dealt too much damage in a short time (heart meter at the bottom fills up fully), then the giga(s) will be instantly enraged, dismounting you if you were riding it then roaring with glowing yellow eyes, then if theres any wild or tamed creatures nearby it will get aggressive and attack them with double damage. You will also most likely fall off the giga onto the ground and will probably get 1 shot by fall damage or your own giga then after 20 seconds your giga will be okay but can't say the same about any tames/structures not made of stone or metal nearby

On old mobile though if you ride a tamed giga off a cliff, a baby/juvenile/adolescent giga dies in front of its parents, or it is dealt too much damage in a short time, then the giga(s) will also be instantly enraged, dismounting you then roaring with glowing yellow eyes, then if theres any wild creatures nearby it will attack them and any tames nearby... not set to passive will also follow the giga and attack whatever it's attacking since it technically has its aggression set to aggressive. You will also fall off the giga onto the ground and will have to chase after your giga and your tames. After 20 seconds have passed and you have found your giga clumped up besides it there will be a big mess of tames... that are alive and probably have their aggression level set to neutral or attack target.

I have tamed my first Giga. Two of my eagles died in the process and I died several times myself. However, after two hours I was finally redeemed and my very first giga was tamed. I have never been so happy in this game. (700h)

I didn't have a name right after taming. I wanted to think of one on the way home. My path ran along the northern beach.

After 300-400m, less than 30 seconds later, I ran straight into the arms of a lvl 4 Giga.

I've rarely been as shocked as I was at that moment.

I tried everything to turn my giga around quickly. However, it had a turning circle of what felt like three trucks...

Rip Giga without a name

I've never been so broken.

I still can't believe this story...

When you encounter a Giga you die

If 0.001% of you thinks “maybe this cliff isn’t tall enough”, you’re right. Leave immediately. When it comes to Gigas, “life uh finds a way”. Luckily my Argy is built different and I was able to save him and my stuff before the Giga ate him.

When I tamed my first giga, I thought it was super weak… no better than a good Rex. And it was! It changed when I bred my first two and hatched and fully imprinted my triplets: Eclipse, Thunder and Frenzy. They are all much, much better than any Rex I’ve ever had. Not to mention having twice the hp and more than twice the damage of their parents. I will continue to breed, too. 👆if you relate

Pro tip:

Gigas can't swim well or breathe underwater. Knowing this may well save your life one day.

Hide your children, hide your wife, and everything will be alright

If you see one and you don't have any of your tribe mates to bola, just bola yourself

Using a metal ramp, roof, wall, and foundation you can make the giga run to the top of the roof then if you stand on the ground it will keep trying to bite you but its attack hitbox will never reach you. You can then easily kill it if you have enough ammo since if you try to tranq it the giga will end up running away after you used enough tranqs and it will be pretty difficult to catch up to and knock out.

Don’t waste your time trying to farm up narcotics to feed your giga while it’s out! Just kill a bunch of jellyfish and get biotoxin and feed the giga. I believe it does more torpor anyway.

If you see one near your base, my suggestion is to pack up everything and run. It is only a matter of time. You cannot fight back.

Do not, I say do not!!! Try to kill a wild giga with a tamed one!!!

Wild= 80,000 HP

Tamed= 18,000 HP

Run for your life. Fly or run whatever just don't fight them

Why Hello everyone!, looking to tame an R-Giga?, 145 to 135/130 or less? Maybe more?, I’m talkin 150! To 155!, ( 155 if you’re on higher than default levels I suppose!)

Anyway let’s get to the point,

First Disclaimer!!! This isn’t a tip for the suitable and well prepared requirements.

Do you wonder if you’ve got what it takes a tame a Giga with JUST some bows and tranq arrows? And you lack the ability to get good rifles or just don’t want to wait that long?, or is the game not giving you a single good blueprint or whatnot for one?

Welll do you ATLEAST have one or 2 JOURNEYMAN Crossbows? Or one JOURNEYMAN crossbow AND a MASTERCRAFT Crossbow?

( and if you’re like me, also have an ascendant compound bow?)

Because approximately 1x Journeyman crossbow with about 283 durability or more, plus 168% weapon damage

( more especially according to my calculations if you’re taming any higher than 145 that I did with this method but I’m not sure how bunch the torpor differs between lvls on R-Gigas.)

Anyway, combine that with a Mastercraft crossbow with 202 weapon damage (or more) and 141 durability ( i know that’s bad, just what mine is at as an example)

(If you don’t have one another better or similar Journeyman crossbow/s should do the same thing.)

Combine that with an ascendant compound bow ( both of my other bows broke so I had to use this) and 741 tranq arrows with only 7 or less misses will knock out a Lvl 145 R1Giga with 261 tranq arrows left.

( again the compound bow probably isn’t necessary whatsoever as long as you have either multiple journeyman or better crossbows.)

Anyway my attempt of taming a 145 R-Giga on Fjordur was a booming Success!.

Mind you I used a trap, and sat there shooting it in the head with mostly guaranteed success in hitting my shots apart from some misses until I got the right position!.

My new R-Giga (male) is black with green stripes and I shall name him Master Chief, I do hope this was helpful in some way or other!.

I wasted like 450 metal for gates and 60 tranq darts. I misread and brought 1100 narcotics with me needing only 86. I then tame the giga and feel proud of myself. I then check the stats to find that it has 17080 health and 20% melee damage.

In the wild, you can't do much with them. You'd think they'd be excellent for luring to bases, but it will prioritize all other Dinos over you, so it isn't worth the effort. Once tamed, the Giganotosaurus is the best method for hunting. Should you need to stock up on meat for breeding, raising, or just feeding, this is your best bet. Of course they're also just high damage Dinos too, so they're excellent for PvP, tanks with jaw of iron. Fair warning, when trekking across a map with them, take the flattest route possible, they're terrible in forests, mountains, and water. They also take fall damage very easily, so avoid jumps of any kind. Should you end up falling off of a cliff, dismount before hitting the ground and the damage will be avoided.

The giga can pierce wild creature's defenses so for example they ignore doed's 90% damage reduction when balled up.

You can also use this to kill titanosaurs since they also have a 90% damage reduction if you have a good enough saddle and melee damage
