If you tried to tame a lv 9999 giga with cooked fish meat and 0.01 taming, you would need 4012100 cooked fish, and it would take 3761343 hours, 51 minutes and 49 seconds, not to mention the UNGODLY amount of narcotics.
The unholy offspring of lightning and death itself. Do not engage this dinosaur. Your only hope, hide and pray it does not find you.
Run. Dont look back.
If you see this on foot and it spots you run they are fast but they lose agro very fast. They like turtles so run them by a turtle and it should unagro
they make big chompy chompy and eat everything
You cannot win, it will chew you up so much that your friends won’t be able to identify your body
Person who said they wanted a platform saddle.
Firstly, oh, sure, it's soooo balanced to have a F*CKING 17K HEALTH AT LEVEL ONE, INCREDIBLY HIGH DAMAGE TAME WITH AN ARMY OF RAPTORS ON TOP,
Secondly, these things will eat you over a bit of fall damage, imagine what they'd think of a platform saddle.
Thirdly, look at them, to they look like they could hold up a platform? Do they? Really? I mean, seriously.
Giga walking is only slightly slower than giga running, and uses no stamina😂
Sacrifice your beloved useless dodos to the Giga god and he might let you live only to be eaten another day (Giga very close to my base, HELP!!!!!???)
I have seen 2. One when doing the kill giga quest and the other when I was riding my titanosaur. Both died. Also, up if you want me to tame with cooked fish meat.
If it's eyes light up go give it a hug :)
How to tame a giganotosaurus:
1. You will need 4 metal gates, and a large bear trap.
2. Place the large bear trap, and then place 3 of the gates surrounding the trap, (in this shape \_/).
3. I recommend using a flyer to lead the giga into the trap.
4. After the giga is stuck in the trap, quickly place the fourth gate, which prevents it from escaping the trap.
5. Knock the giga out by shooting it with a tranquilizing ammo like tranq arrows or certain darts.
6. After you've knocked out the giga, feed it meat or preferred kibbles. I highly recommend feeding it kibble as it's much more effective.
-The giga has something called a "rage bar". It fills up when the giga takes damage. When the rage bar is completely filled, the giga starts to attack everything around it, even the player, their tames, and structures. And it's damage also increases.
Hope this helped!

Why Hello everyone!, looking to tame an R-Giga?, 145 to 135/130 or less? Maybe more?, I’m talkin 150! To 155!, ( 155 if you’re on higher than default levels I suppose!)
Anyway let’s get to the point,
First Disclaimer!!! This isn’t a tip for the suitable and well prepared requirements.
Do you wonder if you’ve got what it takes a tame a Giga with JUST some bows and tranq arrows? And you lack the ability to get good rifles or just don’t want to wait that long?, or is the game not giving you a single good blueprint or whatnot for one?
Welll do you ATLEAST have one or 2 JOURNEYMAN Crossbows? Or one JOURNEYMAN crossbow AND a MASTERCRAFT Crossbow?
( and if you’re like me, also have an ascendant compound bow?)
Because approximately 1x Journeyman crossbow with about 283 durability or more, plus 168% weapon damage
( more especially according to my calculations if you’re taming any higher than 145 that I did with this method but I’m not sure how bunch the torpor differs between lvls on R-Gigas.)
Anyway, combine that with a Mastercraft crossbow with 202 weapon damage (or more) and 141 durability ( i know that’s bad, just what mine is at as an example)
(If you don’t have one another better or similar Journeyman crossbow/s should do the same thing.)
Combine that with an ascendant compound bow ( both of my other bows broke so I had to use this) and 741 tranq arrows with only 7 or less misses will knock out a Lvl 145 R1Giga with 261 tranq arrows left.
( again the compound bow probably isn’t necessary whatsoever as long as you have either multiple journeyman or better crossbows.)
Anyway my attempt of taming a 145 R-Giga on Fjordur was a booming Success!.
Mind you I used a trap, and sat there shooting it in the head with mostly guaranteed success in hitting my shots apart from some misses until I got the right position!.
My new R-Giga (male) is black with green stripes and I shall name him Master Chief, I do hope this was helpful in some way or other!.
I just tamed one and got freakin scared out of my face!!! The good news is she only killed me once . . . Note to self: GIGAS APPARENTLY HAVE A HITBOX THE SPAN OF 200000000 MILES.
For level 150, the dododex said 100% chance of death with pachy primary attack... its actually not talking about the giga
Its the pachy....

The giga's torpor will be going down insanely fast, I tried to tame one with a crossbow with 100+ tranq arrows, when I come up to it with a magnifying glass the torpor was 0 .
HELP IM BEING CHASED BY ONE AND I BARELY HAVE STAMINA LEFT I DONR WANNA LOSE MY LEVEL 241 QUETZ I JUST WANTED POLYMER
Um. . . . Where did my base go.
