What are tips for giganotosaurus? Tips and strategies for giganotosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
With the bear trap/ metal gateways, should I put a bronto at the end for it to aggro onto?
Find one run under a titanosaur a ruuuuuuuuun!
They will agro on each other and run cuz if giga docent kill u titano will
I led two of them in a trap at once (without bear traps, just be a man and scream while crapping yourself trying to run around to the back of it and place a Dino gate) and killed the lower level one, and then the high level one never agro to me. Haven’t tested twice yet but if y’all wanna try go ahead 🤷🏻♂️
If you run into this Dino remember were you fuod it you can tame it later hope you don’t die like if help you bye🙂
I strongly recommend using a harpoon launcher, one shot tame and you don’t waste anytime, its a one shot with the harpoon launcher.
The mighty giga, a fierce foe to encounter, matching the strength of the dodo. Jokes aside, here is what you’ll need to domesticate your very own giga.
An argentavis
A LOT of narcotics or loads of bio toxin (900-6000 reccomended)
Good amount of tranqs or tranq darts
From my experience taming a giga on mobile, I recommend about 150 toxicant arrows (but grinding the bio toxin could probably be a pain)
Or about 350-600 tranq arrows, bring extras just incase.
4 metal gates for a trap as gigas cannot break metal!!!!
This will be a guide for mobile AND pc/ any other device on The Island.
Step 1: Finding a giga. Gigas can be tricky to find if you have no idea where they spawn. They spawn on just about any of the big mountains you see. This includes: Whitesky peak, Fars peak, winters mouth, volcano mountain, weathertop mountain, And the Grand hills.
Step 2: Trap the giga! This is where things get a little different. On pc, or any other device that isn’t like ark mobile, you’ll want to place 3 gates and kite the giga into the 3 gates. On mobile, you have it way easier as it ignores people mounted on tamed creatures. Simply wait untill the giga stops walking and place the 4 gates on the argy. Be careful incase it gets aggroed to something else on mobile and hits your bird on accident. If giga is trapped, we move onto step 3.
Step 3: begin the knocking out process. Not gonna go much into depth for the knocking out. Treat the trapped giga as a buffed up trapped dino with a lot of torpor and fast torpor reduce. You want to make sure you get headshots if you can, as anything will matter in this part. If giga is knocked, we move onto step 4.
Step 4: Depending on the level, it will need 4-19 exceptional kibble with 60-309 narcotics or 155 bio-toxin. Found this info on the wiki. As for people on the mobile (I have ark on the switch AND on my tablet), you might need more depending on the gamemode you’re playing so consider these rates as a rough draft of what you’ll need. On mobile, it’s preferred food is quetzal kibble. You can use a soothing balm to speed things up though. Make sure to stay on the giga like how a raptor refuses to stop chasing you to make sure it doesn’t wake up, because it will wake up VERY fast.
Step 5: you have tamed a giga! This murder machine may not be able to be used for bosses normally, but there are a lot more uses for it! Uses: Meat harvester. The giga is almost if not the best dino for gathering large quantities of meat, only rivaled by the mosa, the sea giga.
Pvp mount: The giga is one of the BEST pvp Dinos, and for good reason! With enough time your lines can become overpowered! And also gigas have mesh bite im pretty sure. Guardian. The giga will handle most natural threats besides a wild giga itself.Tank, of course, despite the health nerf once tamed, it is still very tanky! Alpha hunter. You can find more fun in hunting with other Dino’s but giga is basically an easy clap.
Wooden clubs, mantis, magnifying glass and a few trancs you add that all up you get easy games thank me later
Dunno why no one actually thinks of this but here is the best tip for taming gigas(and probably any other land dino).You just build a giant tower out of metal by using those stick structures.You build a ladder and climb on top of it.you can use walls as platforms.Then just shoot he giga from the top until it gets john cena’d.You can also store meat on top of the tower.Though make shure you have a parachute because it will deastroy the ladder.
We got raided by bright red gigas twice 🥲 I hate people with red gigas killing innocent people XD
I did a two in one I killed the first giga with my absence pump and then another giga comes and eats the other giga body so I just do what every person would do I shoe him with toxic arrows and he knocked out so I gave him soothing balm and prime and he was mine
They can be found around 24, 41 on The Island
alright you see this in single player....
delete ur single player and delete ark then reinstall and disable them
So boys, I was on my solo rag world, and encountered a lvl 20 giga. Jeez. So I took my ptera, and just started beating the living daylights out of it. Took me about half an hour to kill ot.
Don't worry the ptera lived! Only gave my ptera two lvls though..
How to kill a giga 1, raise 30 lv 350+ rexs 2, find a giga 3, realize that all your rexs got stuck on rocks and spend an hour getting them to the giga 4, kill the giga with your rex army that will dominate anything
If you can try get it close to a massive rock or into a trap and just shoot it knock it feed it tame it (like so people can see)
This is for mobile but first trap it in a metal cage of dino gates that's what I think the hardest part is. Go a little away and sleep this will make it so that the giga eats anything really fast for its huunger will be low. knock it out and feed it quezel kibble and use a soothing thing for maximum effectiveness its the fastest way.
