Guys just use metal fence supports, build em 3 high in double box with bear trap in middle, saves so much resources at like 1/13 the amount.

I noticed.......

It doesn't attack your raptor tame...so take your raptor and surround it with metal (sign board) 4-5 at least !!

Ta - da ... you got yourself a GIGA Traped !!

And ..... rest you know !!!!!!!

For me, its not the taming part that is hard, its findinh one.

Anyways here how to tame one of these guys: prepare 4 metal gates (break stone), longneck rifle with tranq darts,a large bear trap, a 10x soothing balm (if on mobile), lot of biotoxins and lot of prime meats (if you dont have any kibbles).

Taming: these guys can be found in the mountains (luck isnt on my side), when you find one, make a uncompleted square (like this |_|) and put the large bear trap in the middle, then dismount near the beast then get back on your mount (must be using a flyer like pteranodon), even if you fly high it will still be aggroed on you, if you hit it with your ptera it only will aggro when your close to land. Then lure in it and it will get stuck for 5 seconds, then place the last gate behind.

Knocking out: If youre taming a low level like 30, get any balm (10x work better if you want it fast), it depends on your longneck rifle damage, if its like 355 it would take around 50-70 tranq darts, but id say to bring more incase. When shooting dont wait 5 seconds each, the torpor drains fast (as when its knocked out too) so youll just be wasting darts. Im tired so I wont continuing sadly. -CatLady

There is a spot near a ship wreck where on 5 of my fjord maps I know a spawn point for one on all but one of my deleted fjord maps one was there. It is the most likely spot to find one out of the three spawn spots for them. They also spawn around the volcano which is close by to the wreck and remember it is the ship wreck near the golden cliff. So you could find one hope this helps if you play fjorder.

I had tamed lvl 20 if you want to tame low level it will takes 150+ toxic arrows

Run run for your life trust me on that

If you encounter a giga and you’re planning to fight or tame, make sure you have the stuff, if not build a little fob base and get the stuff you need.

was flying to the arctic on my pteranodon, passed by somebody’s base when i saw a massive tail and flew down closer to investigate, a lvl 140 giga attacking the base and getting pelted with x seed turrets, i landed a bit further off and waited for the health to be at a manageable level to finish it off for exp. hopped off my pteranodon and it looked up and turned to me NEVER HAD SUCH A BAD HEARTATTACK IN ARK

How to get a giga in 8 steps

1. Get about 1k narcotics traps(for any levels giga)

2. Spot the big rex

3. Place a lot of narcotics traps in a row

4. Take an arentavis or a wyvern and agro him

5. Lead the giga in the traps

6. Put food in his inv.

7. Force him to eat narcotics when the torpor is low

8. Name your new giga

100% worst raising only do it on 4x you’ll want to die on 1x

If you have giga problems use a griffin they are the only flier that can allow you to equip weapons while riding so all you need to do is hover over it and tranq it from above I got a lvl 15 female with this tactic

Make sure to not take to much damage or ur own giga will kill you and everything around it be careful

Okay, I totally failed this giga tame. What did I do wrong?

Map: Extinction

Armor: Desert Cloth, backup fur armor just in case

Gear: ASCENDANT LONGNECK (there’s a spot near my base on CI where red drops spawn,) Shocking Tranq Darts (over 100,) Exceptional Kibble to tame.

Creature: Rock Drake, level 150, almost 14k health and around 1800 stam (I’m on singleplayer btw)

Target: Giga, lvl 16

It gets stuck on a cliff where nothing spawns and I start pounding in the darts. It starts to run? 🤔 Off the cliff and starts attacking everything. I get closer, and in less than a minute destroys 3/4 of my Drake’s health. I check it’s torpor (I’ve probably piled in over 30 darts) and it says: 2k out of 19k. I leave.

What should I do next time. Should I trap it (I know the trap,) or tame it on another map where it’s safer?

Swamp Guy

Assault rifle+1,000 bullets= half heath giga. End. (I did kill it, though.)

To the person who challenged me to tame a Giganotsaurus with fully imprinted parents. I imprinted it. I did it. Fully imprinted level 160 Giganotsaurus named Cali.

Put over 500 tranqs into a 150 and still didn't go down be prepared to waste alot of time

Currently got a lvl 140 in a 4 metal doorframe high with 3 high with ramps tranqed by longneck and an ovis standing by

it Can kill rock elementals so good to have it if ur base is in the ruins in valguero otherwise just use a wyvern to lure the rock Elementals off the side of the cliffs but they do not die from falling because ai can't take fall damage

Place three METAL Dino gates in an incomplete square lead the giga in when in place a fourth completing a square make sure to leave small gaps

Dont even try killing it for exp it gave me like 1k exp

and i almost lost ROYALE griffin(for pc players royale griffin is mobile version of griffin and its pain to tame)
