How do I kill a giganotosaurus? giganotosaurus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
*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*

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
If it says dangerous creatures nearby don't try to find out what just run. I lost my level 50 bear while flying off a mountain he died while giga was chasing us. I died shortly after since i was firing every weapon i owned due to anger. I went back on my lowest level argy (i had some decent stuff i needed that didn't stay when i died) if memory is correct i died again. We will meet again giga until then you live not sure on level though since i play on easy and casual. But yet i seen a 116 lvl yeti 💩 myself
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.
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?
Yes the giga is kind of broken on Mobile. They have no movement animations for one thing. They just kind of glide along the ground.
Are these guys broken on mobile? I killed one and I didn’t get a giga heart. It didn’t give it to me straight away, nor was is in its inventory, nor was it given to me after I harvested its body and it didn’t leave an item cache. Also harvesting the body only gave me 17 hide 20 meat and 3 prime meat, which is less than what a Rex would give. Is there something wrong with the giga on mobile?
You can get r Gigas on fjordour
I found one next to a massive rock elemental at the snow area hope that helps so be careful
If he's next to the volcano, make him burn in lava.
Try to drown them because they are very slow at water
If you try to tame on 1player game do Dino damage all the way down and also player resistance and you should be good so you can’t die also get fur gear and you should live and have it also bring 200 narcotics to keep it asleep also bring 65 tranq darts and some tranq arrows and you should get the giga trap it with 4 gateways also and make sure the gates have tiny cracks
The thing is you uhh you don't tame this thing you call Animal Control for no reason and you have an entire team of Animal Control be killed when only you had to be killed don't sacrifice Animal Control just to escape this thing cuz it won't matter he will chase u after he kills the Animal Control team.
Run run for your life trust me on that
If you encounter a giga and you’re planning to fight or tame, make sure you have the stuff, if not build a little fob base and get the stuff you need.
was flying to the arctic on my pteranodon, passed by somebody’s base when i saw a massive tail and flew down closer to investigate, a lvl 140 giga attacking the base and getting pelted with x seed turrets, i landed a bit further off and waited for the health to be at a manageable level to finish it off for exp. hopped off my pteranodon and it looked up and turned to me NEVER HAD SUCH A BAD HEARTATTACK IN ARK
On Crystal Isles I mostly find gigas in the desert area of the map.
On Ragnarok they are mostly found in the highlands (the green patch on the NE of the map) But they can also ne found behind the murder snow area (closer to the West of the map but still in the middle) just found a lvl 130 today and I MIGHT tame it in the future. On the Island look on the mountain in the center of the map or od you are feelings extra ballsy you can look in the 2 mountains in the snow area. Stay safe and good luck. Survivor out.
