How do I kill a giganotosaurus? giganotosaurus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
I found a male giga at griffin mountain and a female giga at the mountain next to it
If you see one go to your Dinos stuff take everything and run
leave it
Once you see that sh1t it will haunt you to life. Run once you see it if you ever do it is extremely hard to find
If you run into this guy, Run. Keep running till it goes away. They have awful speed. But DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES RAGE IT!!! It's might when angered can rival the dragon and even the dodorex. It's stamina and attack is altered too.
If you see a giga there are several things you could try 1:KILL YOURSELF save your breath from explaining to your tribe how you lost all of your things 2: Jump off a cliff 3:Drown yourself 4:Run if hes less than 5 miles away run if hes more turn and jog 5:If you have a bad day punch him it will make you feel better ... well you wont feel anything after a second 6: if your tribe has done something you disagree with find one go home 7:DO NOT MISUNDERESTIMATE HIM FOR A REX WHATEVER YOU DO IF YOU SEE SOMETHING REX LIKE BUT YOUR NOT 100% SURE ITS A REX RUN THERE IS A HIGH CHANCE IT MAY BE A GIGA 8:if ones near your base tame a pteradon or other fast mount and pump speed and stamina run or fly within a couple 100 meters and run in the opposite way once you are a comfotable distance away turn and atack try to damage it before you die ... carry NOTHING important if doing this as im sorry but it belongs to the giga now
If you see one you should run do not let it bite any of ur animals cause it will be dead same as you
It is pronounced,
Gig-uh-no-tuh-soar-us not Juy-gan-tuh-soar-(us)
I came saw ran
Good Luck you'll need need it
If You See One Give It A Kiss
You can kill them if need be drowning, tranqing are good ways or fighting lower levels with a few high level gigas works too.
Can be killed if you have a few gigas mate boosted with decent saddles. We're on an official server and killed 2 wild gigas within 5 minutes of eachother with 2 gigas.
Our gigas are a 108 male tame and a bred female. Both have 230%+ melee. With an ascendant and Mastercraft saddle.
Bring 5 gigas to your first giga fight and whistle attack target then follow on yours. We did that and worked our way down to finding out we can use only 2.
You will lose quite a bit of health so make sure your giga has full health and stamina at start of fight and stay mate boosted or you will hAve a higher chance of death.
Hope this helps.
Ok I've seen several tips like run but that doesn't help your dinos or base :_: . So here's my simple steps process to lure it away from your base. 1st hop in water and swim down if shallow run under rocks and stuff. 2nd find unneighborly neighbors. Run by their house and place a tamed dodo or easy animal adjacent to the wall. Wait for the giga to wreck m. Remember stay far away. And take your reward.
I met one once I died instantly don't even try to kill it just run whilst putting late bear traps
Do not attempt to kill a wild giga unless you have a tamed Titanasour or a flying tame with multiple arrows. It would be much easier to tame than kill!!!
If fighting is an absolute must, wyverns seem to be good and keeping them away with their wing beating. 2 wyverns on beating (preferably fire or lightning) and 2 on breath attack duty (preferably fire or lighting)
When stamina is low, switch the jobs of the wyverns
I killed a level 150 giga on the center with 5 rexes that all had about 40k health and between 700-1400% melee damage and 100% imprint. Only the rex I was riding had a saddle. Nobody died, and they each had about half of their health left.
You can kill it, you just need to be very prepared.
I fell off a cliff with my trike and I didn’t see anything because it was dark and next thing I know a giga kills me and run back fearing for my trike and as soon as good there it dies I was vary sad and has since not found the body but the is a grave by my base
Guys there’s a lvl 45 above my base idk if I should take or kill it like if I should tame it
Tamed this little sucker with no trap I don’t recommend it
