If you see this guy don't stand run for your life if he sees you don't run to your base
Make a club. Find one hit it with the club untill it is unconscious. Put mejoberys in its inventory. And wait shouldn’t take that long to tame.
Boom now you have your do- oh wrong page
If it sees you or you see it, you’re screwed. Just pray that death comes quickly
For people who can’t find gigas (mobile), go on the grass plain between griffin mountain and frozen tooth, tidy save and add it in your backup data.After that, roam around frozen tooth and you should see the giga.If you aren’t satisfied with the level/gender then go back to the backup and restore the save.When you go back to the spot where you find your first giga you should see a different one.Repeat until you find the right one
For people trying to tame this thing, Make a trap, if u dont u will possibly miss some shots, and with the long reload time, when ur done reloading this thing will already have 0 torpor again, they drop around 600 torpor per second if you dont hit them with tranqs within 6 seconds per shot, if u wait more than 6 secs per shot ur basically making absolutely no progress
Can someone actually puts tips here that could help rather just saying run and stuff cuz I generally want to know how to find one
You cannot win, it will chew you up so much that your friends won’t be able to identify your body
At 0.1 consumption speed and 0.1 taming with a level 9999 gigs it will take 7522687 days to tame, along with 576830857 narcotics.
I just got a slingshot and used 4942 rocks
If you're on unc mobile and you level up to level 92 you can easily find these using this process:
1. Activate the hunt: giganotosaurus pursuit
2. Check every mountain in the top part of the map, you can do this by flying to the top of each mountain one by one and a white locator arrow can appear that tells you the nearest giga within 1 km. This locator arrow can also locate gigas that haven't been rendered in yet so if you are on singleplayer you can save a file to restore right before you render in the giga to reroll its stats. If the white arrow doesn't appear, move to the next one and check all 5 mountains until you either find a giga or the white locator arrow never appears which means there are zero gigas on the map.
3. If you found a giga, congrats! You can trap it by mounting any mount that allows you to easily place 4 metal dino gates then go up to the giga using the mount and place them around it by putting them in your hotbar. (I tried this with a pachy and it worked) The giga won't attack you since gigas are neutral to all tames on old mobile.
4. If you aren't on singleplayer and you wanna find a higher level giga then abandon the pursuit and either kill it to free up space for more gigas to spawn or just move to another mountain if the giga you saw was found on the first mountain you searched. Make sure to abandon the pursuit before you kill the giga, as I killed like 30 gigas using my own method and tamed 3 max level gigas then wondered why i gained 200 kg when I killed the last giga, then realized i accidentally forgot to abandon the pursuit and now have to manually search every mountain by myself.
Note if you are using this pursuit to find gigas to grief people on multiplayer it doesnt work as on old mobile gigas are neutral to all tames and if they have turrets the giga will just aggro onto that and they can't even damage auto turrets since if you punch it it produces a metal sound.
Always be careful trying to tame these beasts because one small mistake can lead to a lot of regret
Fun facts if you want to know more about the giganotosaurus!
-Gigas can be found in moutain-like areas on many of Ark's maps. They have a saddle unlock at level 96.
-To tame them, you must knock it out. This is very tricky, as they can destroy stone and do hundreds of damage per bite.
-Wild gigas have 80,000 health, while tame ones have only around 18,000 health. Becuase of this, it is NOT recommended to fight a wild giga with a tamed giga.
-Gigas have a rage meter that fills up whenever it takes too much damage in a certain time period. When enraged, it will dismount you and will attack everything around it, including you.
-They are one of the few creatures you cannot take into boss arenas. However, this does not apply to Extinction's titans, as they have open-world arenas.
That's all! Up if this was helpful.
Some helpful tips
Space ur metal dino gates a tiny bit that a human can walk through the edges
Have at least 2 or 3 bear traps
Keep them there for another giga ecounter
Use a argy for best results mainly due to smithy portability and if u messed up can be fixed
If using primitive gear, carry a second or 4th if u are using tranq darts and not the shocking variant
Before tranqs get ur narcotics/biotoxin and your kibble if you have any
Make sure to clear the area before attempting the giga
When you think a high level rock elemental can kill a low level giga think again
Rip Rock Elemental
Oh my Oh My, I just managed to knock out a Lvl 140 Giga on ASE, with just about 4 Primitive Longneck rifles and about, ahem, NEARLY 600 PLUS of my stock of tranq darts leaving me with just 168 of them left….
This Thing has 93k Torpor, and holy shoot people I do NOT recommend doing this, although it’s possible, doing what I did takes WAYY too long, trust me,
I’ve been sitting here shooting at this Giga for what felt like hours man,
And I thought I overprepared! With 5 extra Longnecks and as said 600 plus Tranqs, about too many to count of narcotics, so safe to say my efforts aren’t for nothing as this Lvl 140 Giga shall be my best friend!,
Now I will try with the remaining tranquility to hopefully, tame something easier……..with my remaining non-broken longnecks..
I see way to meany people use narcotics to keep things asleep,USE FLIPPING BIOTOXIN! It gives 80 torpor and doesn’t do damage, narcotics do 40
Dude, for real, try to help the people that want to find one, use other category to talk this stuff...
For those that want to find one on mobile try the center metal volcano on the realy top or the two ice montains in the top also.
