What are tips for giganotosaurus? Tips and strategies for giganotosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Large bear trap and four bill boards is easiest and cheapest way to trap
Big tip: when you are knocking the giga out, you will see that when you shot all the arrows it takes some time for him to be unconscious because of the tons of torpor that's still raising. I didn't know that while taming one and I had to go back to base and I had to take some more arrows while it was not necessary.
If you have god console: if you knock it out and then increase levels a lot ( which for some dinos work cuz it increase max food cap) for this one wont work that much. I did that with lvl 15 and i made him lvl 150, torpor made from 18k to 500k. Not good idea
Rememeber these things are gods at blending into cliffs 1 second a few rocks the next a giga and your little death bag
Place down 5 behemoth gate ways in a row out a gateway at each end open 1 then shoot the giga and run in. when the giga goes in the trap shut the doors behind it
Just run...don’t even try to fight it without a decent flyer
If you see one of these lovely creatures try giving it a hug before being devoured and never being seen again with your parents not being bothered to look for you because they don't give a damn.
If you encounter a giganotosaurus in the wild, just stand still, they can't see you if you stand still
If u have 3 gigas lvl 60 or under n take on a wild lvl 8 u gona def lose best bet at least 4 120+ gigas to take 1 down or a quetz with lots of amo or flame arrows
Giga's usually spawn on mountains, so I find it easy if u lure it to the bottom of a cliff to the point where it gets stuck then you just to the top of the cliff and shoot it with tranqs. The more tribe mates you have the better
Higher damage on the longneck your using mean more torpor per dart
So trap it and use your crossbow and feed it meat like just meat
I play on mobile, all i did to tame him was just find a really good spot on a rock where he’ll stuck and stay there kept trying to attack me while i unload all of my tranq darts into him. You’ll need a lot of Narcotics or Bio toxin like A LOT as his torpor decrease really fast, if you bring his favourite kibble and soothing balm you wont have to waste so much narcotics on him
Thinking about taming one of these beasts!
Difficulty 10/10 very hard (not necessarily hard but not easy and time consuming)
What you will need.
A lot of tranqs (1-2k for a 180)
5-6 Metal gates
Large bear trap
30 exceptional kibble (just my suggestion you can use less)
Around 1k extra narcotics
How to trap
Place metal gates in a hexagon like shape with a gate in your inventory
Place a large bear trap in the middle
Get the gigas attention and run like you’ve never run before
After it steps in the bear trap place the gate in your inventory behind it
Taming
Shoot it with tranqs DO NOT STOP
It’s torpor drops insanely fast and is insanely high (probably around 100k torpor for a 180)
Once it is out put all your narcotics in its inventory
Keep your kibble in your inventory and pump a couple narcotics every 2-3 minutes
After the beasts food goes down a bit put the kibble in its inventory and let it eat
Continue to pump narcotics every 2-3 minutes until it tames
Feel like I should mention to only pump about ten narcotics each time and now I feel like that about sums up how to tame a Giganotosaurus so survive and good luck taming survivors

To tame this beast u have to build 4 metal dinosaur gate because giga can't attack it and u have to use ascendant longneck from hunt dire bear and to trap giga use herbivore creature and use it as a bait good luck
How to tame a giga
1-get 4 metal gate way not (behemoth) 3 can work but 4 is easier
2- place the gate way like this |_|
3-place a large bear trap in the middle
4-get the giga aggro'd to you and lead it in the trap
5-once the giga is stuck in the bear trap quickly go put the last piece of dino gate way the trap should look like this □
6-then just ahoot shocking tranquilizer darts ,tranq darts and it should be knocked out
Thank you
