Tips & Strategies

Taming a giga isn't hard as long as you are prepared. Prepare in advance by making metal Dino gates and one large bear trap, 2 to be safe. Have over 500 tranq arrows and over 1000 narcotics. If on a public server, hope to dear god that some other tribes can help with narcotics cuz it eats through every bucket of narcotics really fast. At least 3 people recommended, one feeding and keeping an we on the torpor, one collecting prime meat and kibble if any available, and another running around trying to make more narcotics. The giga' torpor has a tendency to stay constant and drop a lot even with narcotics being fed, so in order to counter it, shoot tranq arrows as health isn't an issue. The tranq arrows counter it's dropping torpor if it is getting lower and lower even when you're feeding it narcos. It is also good to have a 4th person watching the back of the person crediting narcotics as predators can coke while the person is in the giga's inventory. My tamed one like this yesterday

If you fly an argy near it, fly around the shattered ice for a while he will sometimes get stuck between 2 floats and since he is so big he can't move. Then sit nearby with plenty of prime meat or mutton and 125-150 narcotics, you can blast him with darts... He's Yours! (This is how I do it).
The things you need to tame a giga:-
1)Flyer (recommending an argy).
2)4-5 dinosaur metal gateways.
3)1-2 large bear traps.
4)10x soothing balm if your playing on mobile.
5)Your KO weapon (most recommended are ascendant longneck rifle or ascendant crossbow).
6)Your KO ammo (bring a decent amount).
7)Taming food of your choice (most recommended is raw prime meat or kibble if you can).
8)Decent amount of narcotics or bio toxin.
FIND GIGA: gigas usually spawn at mountains. On the island try looking around the volcano or the two mountains in the snow area.
SET YOUR TRAP: take 3 of your metal gateways and make this shape \_/ then put a large bear trap or 2 in the middle. Itβs easier if you build the trap on flat ground.
TRAP THE GIGA: get the giga to follow you and make it go inside the trap, then make sure itβs caught in the bear trap. When itβs stuck in the bear trap go behind it and complete the trap with another gateway. The final shape of the trap looks like a Trapezoidal.
KO THE GIGA: even a low level giga has a lot of torpor and it drops fast so keep shooting no matter what. Itβs recommended for a tribe-mate to help you.
START FEEDING: put the food in the gigaβs inventory and keep an eye on itβs torpor.
I hope this was helpful π
Many a tribe have been foolish enough to think they could fight a wild giga with a tamed and ended up with a dead giga. Don't be them.
I was looking to metal to make a saddle then I said to my brother βi am going to tame a gigaβ as a joke. Not even 10 seconds later a level 55 giga came into view. KEEP IN MIND WE ARE ONLY LEVEL 40!! We are gonna tame it tomorrow with arrows since we donβt have tranq dartsπ wish us luck!
Make 4 metal dino gates and 1 large bear trap. Place three frames and door into an incomplete square and the large bear trap in the I between them. Lure the Giga into the trap and while its trapped place 4th down to make the square. Then just light it up with tranqs
Just lure into a metal gate set ups some plant Xs and it will knock out you welcome
I 100% recommend charging straight on a Giga with a wooden club, you wonβt regret it.
I have one of these I will tell you how I got mine I was on a big hillside
So I could shoot it from the top I need 150 arrows the taming ones
Mine was a level 20 so you might need more than I did make sure you have prime meat it will tame faster than regular it wakes up really easily so make sure you have narcotic with you I need 200.so you might want more just in case hopefully this helps please like it if it helps ππ»
TO THE GUY THAT SAID METAL SIGNPOSTS WORK, IT JUST WALKS RIGHT OVER THEM.
f for my argy
It takes about 5000 stone and 125 slingshots to knock one out
Anyone up to the challenge vote u
