What are tips for giganotosaurus? Tips and strategies for giganotosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
I was on the volcaneo and a giga spawned in and one shot me and my bird and I was level 65 up = 1 prayer for my bird
This is not a rex. It may have fooled me once and killed three of my dinos and made my colorful argy(from the easter event) run away forever(i put her on passive flee to save her when i saw it was a losing battle), but this thing here wont ever fool me again. Not. A. Rex.
I was on the island on mobile (just playing around with god console, checked all of the mountains, and after 2 hours of searching found one that had made it all the way to the red obelisk.
Build a trap using 1 behemoth metal gateway (and gate) and 5 smaller metal gateways arranged in a semi-circle pattern with the smaller gates curving around the behemoth gate. Place a large bear trap towards the opposite edge of the behemoth gate.
Lure the giga into the trap. This is way easier said than done however… The Giga is very unpredictable in its attention span frequently switching targets to another wild dino, it also has unpredictable pathing and sometimes struggles trying to walk around large rocks. Furthermore… The Giga is incredibly fast despite what appearances might lead you to believe, it can easily chase down an Argent and most other dinos not leveled into movement speed.
I advise luring either with a movement speed focused character (use mindwipe tonic and pump into around 300% movement speed), a Galimimus (DON’T GET HIT!) or an Argentavis with at the bear minimum 1,500 HP (The Giga deals 500 damage base with its bite and can attack twice in a short span of time, if you get hit begin flying up and out of reach). Lure the giga into the bear trap and run behind to seal the gate while the Giga is stuck.
Bring plenty of shocking darts and either multiple primitve or a single high quality longneck rifle. The Giga has extraordinarily high topor so it will take a long time even with sustained fire to knock if out.
It isn’t over yet… The Giga is a problem even when KOed. It drains topor really fast and you need to come prepared with stacks of biotoxin or narcotics and carefully watch its topor. I advise starve taming for maximum taming effectiveness and using Exceptional kibble to cut down the time it takes to tame.
To kill this beast lure it to the valley by oasis and trap it in middle get on the highest side and shot it with ascendant weapons it was easy
Also shout out to Embor
Sincerely lonely dodo 🦤
MOBILE USERS: They DON'T AGRO if you are ON A MOUNT! But if you dismount and remount (why tf would you dismount near a giga) it will!!!
On lost island, the spawns for me are gliched...
When I taming in mobile I BEG U I ABSOLUTELY BEG U USE TOXICANT ARROW AND COMPOUND BOW MORE RATE OF FIRE AND BETTER TORPOR THAN TRANQUILLISER DART
If you want to kill one of these guys you can just bring them to the ocean and drown them
I was flying around the highlands on rag and ran into 2 gigas mate boosted gonna try and tame them
Almost lost my Argy to one. 😬 I really have regrets leading it to the survival zone….
Firstly don’t try and tame on a griffin it’s hella hard they could one shot but my one has low stamina and high hp while my other one is the opposite high stamina low hp also allosaurus are them but smaller and weaker
I tried to KO it with an army of super mutated pachys. Like I mean 4K hp each. 100 of em. The giga wasn’t even hurt
Haaaaaatttttte them low stam drown really easy not worth the time join my tribe on mobile the name dodo
I had just tamed this thing and I wet my pants.I cried.I actually did.But then. . .waaaaaaaahaaha😫😫😫😫😫😫😫 IT FELL OF A CLIFF.And.sniff, I’m sorry this makes me so emotional.I died too!I lost full tek armour and the creature implant.Like this for boo boo, my late gigantosaur.He would want it. . . 😔 😔 😔 RIP 🪦 friend.See you in heaven. 😞
I went searching for 1 at lvl 64 and I had mastercraft flak and ascendant pt saddle and it 1 shot pt and killed me in 3
All there is to do is try kiting it to water to drown; hopefully there are sharks in there to help. Take a fast flyer, park in high places, when possible, to shoot it. This makes it keep chasing you. Don't let it bite you or your mount. Repeat and keep it in the water. It doesn't seem to be able to bite while submerged. Keep attacking with your mount when it's in the water so it wont turn back onto land. Best of luck.
Yo bro you have to do this I have almost 250 with over 1400 melee damaged so worth the wait I'm alpha tribe now
