What are tips for giganotosaurus? Tips and strategies for giganotosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
You wanna tame one? Prepare to die. You wanna Kill one for the hunt? Prepare to die. You wanna encounter one? Maybe prepare to die.
There is a mod for an alpha giga
Highly recommend using shocking tranq darts if over lvl 200
For food and narcs: get ur ichthy and go to herbivore island or wherever you can find a scrape meat fish then scrape like a lot of meat off of it to refresh scraping instantly run until it's rendered out then come back and scrape again then when ue done kill alot of jellyfish. Then u can tame the giga with the prime fish meat and use the bio toxin for narcs also recommend shooting from a mountain cliffside. ps. they are normally found at blue obelisk fars peak (where u find the griffins) and sometimes North zone 2
The 100% chance of death of the pachy's charge isn't about the giga... it's about the pachy.
THIS GUY IS HARD TO TAME...but not impossible
you get the best knocking out stuff and the best kibble.
you make a trap, you want to because it is impossible to tame without one, take a LOT of narcos. his torpor is smol. he takes a long time to tame but he's worth it
I haven't tried this but if anyone sees this you should try it;but a platform saddle on a Quetzal and put a plant x on the Quetzal platform and hover over the Giga with the Quetzal
Also I don't know it this will work
Hey I play on mobile and I’ve only seen two gigas on “The island”. I killed them both not knowing that more wouldn’t spawn, how do I get gigas to spawn?? It’s been almost a year and I have not seen a single giga on any of the mountains. H e l p ; - ;
Just forcetame it then It will be your friend until you hurt it
What i did to tame is get a high level wyvern with lots ofbstam and health the make it follow you get on its back once you found giga and shoot with tranqs then once its in flee land the wyv and shoot it tranqs on foot
The best dino to tame this with is either a Galli with a bunch of health and stam or a flyer. Galli are extremely fast, they can outrun anything even Wyverns! Or raptors, flyers can each you higher then anything and you can dangle from them with a grappling hook and shoot at this giant beast. But be warned... torpor draining is on its side. Have fun taming this giant beast survivors!
Place 3 metal Dino gates down and have a friend nearby. Lure the giga with your high lv (high HP) maxed health Dino and be behind the trap, once he goes in, have your friend place the last gate down behind him. (HE MAY BE BITTEN)
Don’t attack a wild one with a tamed one. The wild giga has about 63,000 more health then a newly tamed giga.
Don’t use tranq arrows use tranq darts
Metal gate trap is good but I suggest you fly as well extra safety
Just killed one with a Pteranodon!!! Just make sure your bird has at least 5k health and good stam and just barrel roll back and forth on this guy! I managed to get this guy stuck in some rocks so the process was even easier because I could stop for stam every once in a while!
Be sure to stay alert while taming this thing, apparently hyenadons are ballsy enough to attack this when it's knocked out
I had an awesome KO battle with one just now. I brought 7 scorpions, 14 frogs and 16 pachys, while riding on another pachy shooting toxic arrows. I lost all the tanes... but won the battle.
(THERE ARE BETTER WAYS TO TAME THIS, I JUST DID THIS FOR FUN)
Dude from 80k+ health and more than 357 damage on wild. When tamed its only 17k health with 135 damage per hit. What the... Wasting a real time, even though increasing the points level, its not increase too much (on any option). go get some rex is better option i guess. My rex reach 24k health faster than this giant, and do 557 damage easily with only few points spended. Since its hard to find a gigant lvl 100+, rex is better. Less tranq lower risk
