Afther place 3 metal dinogate you can lure him by use pretanodon carry any small wild creature lure him to cage and drop it that you carry it while giga stuck in cage dismount and quickly place 1 metal dinogate to complete cage it
This guy's torpidity drains FAST so be constantly inflicting torpidity. Having more than one person helps a ton.
All I have to say is MOTHER F'ER HARD TO TAME OR KILL! I JUST STARTED TRYING AND I STILL END UP ON MY GRAVE.
Use a quetzal with a platform to tranq it from a safe height.
The first time I encountered one of these asshats I was on my flying mount (Argentavis) with a Pteranodon escort. It ate us all before I had a chance to realize what happened. I was traveling with my dear sweet monkey Poogun. He was my first tame and my dearest friend. The bastard ate Poogun out of pure malice because there wasn't enough meet on him to fill its pinky toe. In an act of anger and vengeance I grabbed all of the Dimorphadons (over 50 of the winged monsters) and Raptors in my base and flew back on another argentavis with the intention of murdering the creature. The soul surviving dinosaur was the one sitting on my shoulder. Giganotosaurus ate well that day. I made poor decisions.
Since the flyer nerf, quetzals aren't a option & the Tapejara rider doesn't always have their shots counted. We recently tamed a 150 on foot. For those of us who don't have metal traps for these monsters, I offer this advise. Smugglers Pass. It is between two mountains, almost perfectly so kiting it down is a breeze. Depending on your server, this may be taken. But where the first two cliffs open after following the river in, is a giga nigtmare. There are two rock faces you can stand on & fire from. A third if you're willing to dance with an argent or two. While the Giga may run, it will likely become stuck on the numerous rocks, cliffs, and probable pillars if in PVE. Remember, this is a Giga. Light it up. Don't wait five seconds between shots like most. In our experience, it's best to spend every arrow you have, break all of your bows, and then light it up again some. Until that thing hits the ground, it can take more arrows. In the worst case, you save pumping some narcotics.
In the event it breaks in your base (based on recent experience) it's aggro will be hard to draw. Fighting is not recommended, a lvl 20 killed 2 low lvl Giga's, & 200+ 8 Spino's, 10 Rex's, 2 Dragon's amongst other things. If possible break open a part of base and lure it through with birds, drown it. If fighting last resort pop everything to neutral & rain down off Quetz's with arrow's or Dragon breath
If you are making a trap don't build it near rocks, I was making a trap but halfway the giga would not walk over rocks smaller than it
Never take shortcuts I tried play the trap down In a bad position I got hit next to giga It killed me And my maewing And almost killed my max level wyvern
4x3 metal foundations, 5 high metal doorways, metal ramps, shoot it, run it into the trap.
Ok if you need this fing you do not it is so weak
This is scam... 458 narcotics for lvl 75 giga.. suuuuure
I will say this about a giga if you miss a shot you will use way more than recommend to knock it out and you better put bio toxin (personal favorite I think it works better than narco) in inventory fast as its torpor will deplete quickly
Bruh i still couldn't find one anywhere
Uh i just foking noticed that the hit box of a giga can hit you north to sourthern part of the foking island
A good trap is to have a tip of cup made of metal Dino gates with a large Bear trap in the middle then when the giga gets stuck in the Baer trap run behind it and place a 4 th Dino gate behind it this will trap it in the cup now stand back and start Shooting it (this trap also works for rexs but you can use stone gates instead of metal
These things lose torpor very quickly so make sure to feed it bio toxin as soon as you knock
Tried to tame one and was doing really good till our queztal glitches and got stuck in the giga and killed it and the three of us survivors.
Trap it with 4 metal Dino gateways and a large beat trap, becomes one of the easiest tames
