Tips& Precautions for taming a giga.
Precautions
1. Always use a trap. trying to tame it without a trap is quite hazardous even with Griffin's or quetzals.
2. Expect your tames to get hurt and die
3. Always bring Extra Ammo and narcotics.
Tips.
1. I recommend using Crossbows because they are quicker.
2.Always be try to feed it as fast as possible because the torpor drain is high
3. Don't fight them(speaking from experience)
Guide
1. 3 metal signposts. One large bear trap. Box formation with enough space for it to enter.
2. Agro the giga in the box.
3. Place 4th signpost to complete the square.
4. Knock it out , and feed it Kibble only.(other foods are worse even with balms)
5. You now have a giga. And a corpse of all your tames and all your narcotics expended.

Hi there! Just a quick reminder for those who would like to tame a giga :)
These things have a torpor that decreases by 100 each second, so I suggest you to bring a whole stack of biotoxins since their torpor drops extremely fast!
Sorry if I made mistakes, English is not my first language ;)

I was able to tame one at lvl 71 and lead him back to my base with no deaths. No saddle (yet) but I'm just here to prove us lvl 75 and lower players can do it, although my friend helped me since the games were having a seizure. -glitchboo
Only a real man would tame a 9999 giga with cooked fish meat
Basically what you need to tame on is first see one then run in terror , then prepare, Kibbles is must ,next thing they like are you narcotics so stock up , make some metal gateway, then ammo of your choice, keep it like there is no tomorrow.
Now make the trap a rectangular cage [__] like so place some large bear traps ( i placed 5 but 2 will work) . Lure it in with a fast mount like a gally or raptor. I used griffin
And when stuck in the bear trap put the last side of rectangle. And then let it try to escape. If done right it won't but if it did RUN!
When trapped , make a lot of distance or shoot at its butts. This will chomp in the island and kill you in the aberrations . They earn there reputation as almost a boss like creatures . After knocked out put you kibbles and narcotics, keep an eye on it, its torpor will go down rapidly so take that into account.
If you do it all correctly, you will have a monster which eats rexes and spinos for breakfast and craps therizinosaurus. But NEVER fight a wild one with a tamed one .people tried , there giga died
I almost lost my level 220 pteranodon (on medium) 2 times when taming 2 Gigas (she ended up eating all the prime meat)
YAY i tamed a giga!!! lvl 100!!! used 15x balm + raw prime meat 18000 hp and 30% meele
what did it cost?
MY FEMALE GOOD GRIFFIN THAT IS LVL178 THAT I SPENT 4 HOURS LOOKING FOR!!!🆙 pls
The best ammo for taming a giga in my opinion is show trank darts with a long neck rifle.
Hey i found this guy in the mountain
Ok when are going to knock out a gigs make a trap one large bear trap and 4 metal large gates and a gun to knock it out
GIGAS NOW NOW like there hp is 80,000 them u tame its 17,000/18,000 and if u fall like 4-5 feet off the ground his eyes will turn red witch means he will kill u or kill other animals
Kill or tame by trapping with 1 large bear trap and 4 metal dino gateways.
If you have 2 high level gigas that are a breeding pair, breed them, they said. It'd be worth the hassle they said.
In all seriousness, you'd get a pretty powerful tamed giga.
If you see a giga run and hope it doesn’t get you you will die if it sees or caches you unless your on Titanousaur run for your life!!
Does anyone know how many darts it takes to knock one out? All of the KO methods are greyed out. I’m guessing that means a lot?
To tame them: Build a Trap of either metal or tek, knock em out feed him bio toxin so torpor goes up, Feed it prime, mutton, or kibble...you have your brand new dino that goes nuts if he gets burned....
