If you’ve tamed one of these, but you’re not lvl 96, run cave of the strong… you’ll get a giga saddle blueprint.
I’m on mobile, so I don’t know about consoles and stuff, but if you cave tame an arthro, you can run the strong cave EASILY. Just take a few fria curry and about ten-fifteen medical brews at the least. Nothing will attack you, and you get some of the best loot in the game. I literally did this cave right after the hunter cave… that’s how easy it was. And look at me! Level 74 and I got me a giga!
You all can do it too! 🔺if found helpful
I have actually tried using a slingshot on a giga to knock it out. It broke, so I had to repair it many times. It took over 1k rocks-
When you've found a suitable level Giga, find a tall cliff/ledge to shoot from. If stuck on flat land, turn to a platformed Quetz or th backseat of a Tapejara to shoot off of. I recommend to have two or more tribe mates on this tame.
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.
TORPOR DRAIN INSANE TF YOU MEAN I SPENT OVER 200 ARROWS AND 260 DARTS AND SPEND CLOSE TO AN HOUR TO KNOCK OUT JUST FOR IT GET BACK UP IN 5 MIN
The unholy offspring of lightning and death itself. Do not engage this dinosaur. Your only hope, hide and pray it does not find you.
Giga walking is only slightly slower than giga running, and uses no stamina😂
they make big chompy chompy and eat everything
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
This is a easy tip about 1-3 people with longneck rifles tranq or shocking tranq and carry about 400 narcotics just in case and DO NOT LEAVE FOR A SECOND OR IT WILL WAKE UP AND KILL YOU ALL also force feed narcotics prime meat
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!

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.
For level 150, the dododex said 100% chance of death with pachy primary attack... its actually not talking about the giga
Its the pachy....

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.
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!!!!!???)
If it's eyes light up go give it a hug :)
