Encountering Tips

How do I kill a giganotosaurus? giganotosaurus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Mountains... near the snow... sometimes woods... VERY VERY FAR AWAY FROM SOUTH
How to escape,
1. Never be alone always bring a tribe mate
2. If giga Agroes onto you bola your friend
3. Run for your life
On the island map you will always find one at The Frozen Fang region.
Personally I don’t take these as the rage is a stupid thing so if encountering these I recommend if your on a flyer like the astrodelphis harassment is a good
Tactical decision
If you are unlucky enough to encounter one of these monsters, get in the fetal position and hope it’s over quickly.
If you make your base on the south side of the wyvern heir nest on crystal isles and one of these bad boys spawn at your base I have no advice but to abandon all hope and let it destroy everything you own because it will kill you and everything you own unless you have something rediculesly strong (btw these things spawn south of the crystal heir nest in the desert on crystal isles so now you know where not to build or where to find one)
Be careful with giga.if hp of your dino is low, it will die in one bite
I couldnt help but laugh at all the story’s on here. I had an encounter where a gigs had his head stuck in a rock I figured well let’s see if it is actually stuck. It wasn’t but I happened to be in my 142 pter and I went to the top of the volcano and killed him with an ascendant longneck
Like the Rex, on Mobile, the Giga will not aggro on a Pteranodon unless attacked or provoked in any way. I study them all the time, just stay on the others and yu’ll be fine 😉
Most beginners are horrified by a giga, but they are hardly the most dangerous thing in the game.
If your on mobile and want to get easy levels, get an explorer note and a crossbow with a grapple, if you grapple on to the giga it cant hit you and u can kill it if you have a decent sword, aim the grapple at the hind hips of the giga, i killed one with hard brutal and it was level 365, took a few minutes and i got 4 levels which is a lot for the difficulty i was on and i was on level 53
*Flying over the mountains on an argy, going to get a wolf.*
*Stops for a rest.*
Me: An allo? What’s it doing here? Haven’t seen one of those this high up.
*Telescope time.*
Me: Woah, that’s a giga! I’m gonna tame it.
*Looks it up, finding that it’s way too expensive.*
Me: Welp, it’s a tad close to my base. I’m gonna divebomb it and kill it.
*Divebombs and gets bit.*
Me: Holy... half my argy’s health is gone. I’ll be careful next time.
*Continues to divebomb, and both argy and I become his snacc.*
Me: No! Raven! Nooooo!
*Grabs bary and goes to retrieve stuff.*
*dIeS oNcE aGaIn To ThE gIgA*
*rAgEqUiTs*
Moral of the story: don’t mess with dangerous stuff. Especially the giga. You’ll save yourself a ton of time, effort, and stuff avoiding these overgrown-megalizards.
>:C
Take a quick look and then run
Final words of the jammicus: hey dude I just shot that giga with a bow...oh s**t
Don’t fight this thing head on.
To kill this thing without a (heavily mutated) giga of your own, you’ll need one of the following:
1. A ranged attacker such as a wyvern or velonasaur and a way to prevent the giga from reaching you.
2. A trap and some rather disposable allos and/or deinonychus.
3. A large gang of dinos bred for killing bosses, such as rexes.
4. Turret death wall
5. (Arguably easiest way) A large patch of water to lure it out to. Gigas never learned how to swim. Bonus points if you add sharks to make it bleed and die even faster.
on ark mobile, if ur transporting ur giga long distanced, have a revival platform and eerie element, and then chronicle the giga, fly (or swim) to the destination, place a revival platform, and revive the giga. (costs 2 amber)
Don’t let your pteroanodon get hit once by these for a joke. Because if gets 3 hits on a max level it destroys it.
They dont attack tamed titanosaurs anymore (they used to) so your completely safe on a titanosaur
After the update of summer bash i tried to look for gigas on all mountains even did a pattern starting from the mountain near carno island to the blue obelisk but it seems that i dont see any gigas any more. Does anyone encounter the same or am i doing something wrong?
I want to kill two but the first one ran away and the second one got smushed into the ground and thru the map by a titano anyone know how to get them to spawn on the two regular mountains on the island?
