What are tips for giganotosaurus? Tips and strategies for giganotosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
R.I.P. base and tames.
When taming a Giga it's torpor drops in 2min so wait til it's torpor is at about 4,000 then pump a several hundred Narcotics all at once. 100 Narc = 4,000 torpor. It takes longer for the torpor to rise than it does to drop. Took mine 30min to go from 4,000 torpor back to max.
Here is a pearl of wisdom that I wish I was given when I tamed a giga:
Don't use three metal dino-gates, use four!
You make a U shape with three and put a large bear trap in the middle.
You then lure the giga onto the bear trap and place the final Dino-gate behind it to trap it.
Everyone says that you can use three metal Dino-gates but you really want to use four when you are being chased by the most terrifying creature on the island.
On mobile i found one near griffin mountain
Once you think you’ve made enough tracks to tame one, trust me and make more bc these things tank
For the person who asked, while there are no exact coordinates, you are sure to find one of these standing on the side of a large mountain. Both Fars Peak, the volcano and any of the other high places, you should find a Giga somewhere. Hope you find one, I wish you luck!

Can someone please tell me what are the coordinates to finding these guys? I have played ark mobile/ the island for 3 years and I still can’t find a single giga. I have four dinosaur gates, 3 large bear traps, a Mastercraft longneck rifle, a Mastercraft crossbow, 60 tranq darts, 44 tranq arrows, and an ascendant giganotosaurus saddle. I am only level 68 and all this for no giga. Someone please help!!!!!!!
You should definitely poke it.
The numbers they give you are way off. If it says 500 dart's take 1000 or 1500 just to be sure.
Both Gigas and Carchs can easily be drowned if they encroach too close to your base. Very little stam so oxygen goes quick, doable with PT but personally find it easier using throwaway raft to hold aggro.
do NOT underestimate the torpor drop of this guy.
