How do I kill a giganotosaurus? giganotosaurus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Just imagine a alpha Giganotosauus.
A creature that could do more damage than a titanosaurs and have more health than any creature in the game.
That’s what I call a monstrosity and a creature that could destroy tribes in seconds.
Not even a titano could kill a … ALPHA GIGANOTOSAURS!!
If you plan to take on a Giganotosaurus alone then you will need to get on a very high surface, as a Giga is about 2.5x larger than a Rex. After not being able o reach you for about 15-20 seconds, it will flee. This is why having a Quetzal with a platform saddle is VERY useful for killing a Giga. Happy hunting!
Wait I tamed one in mobile and it has the same health and same damage what!? Logic came back to ark
Be careful about it he attacks from every angle except high up. Don't let him snag you.
I saw 2 at volcano today! I didn’t even know it was possible for there to be 2 gigas to be spawned but I guess it is! I honestly thought they were really overrated but they are so big and menacing.
Ok.so in Ragnarok I was in creative and I was flying to find a safe zone when I found a giga in the middle of nowhere
Give it a hug. Seriously. It is the friendliest creature in the game
With the R-Giga if you plan on using a Tek Bow, take more shards than you think you will need, and HLNA's scan is glitching right now and estimating the Torpor to be lower than the dinosaur actually has/is. If it looks like the Giga is glitched, keep shooting. When you reach the actual torpor rate, it'll KO normally.
Do not turn your back on the Giga once asleep. Do not walk away from it while it's KO'd. The torpor can drop like a rock and no amount of berries or narcotics can max that torpor out again. The torpor drains too quickly. If you walk away, there is a chance your Giga will wake up and eat you. Ideally, make sure you have enough Narcotics or Narco berries to have rows and rows of them. Take a sheep/kibble with you to hunt them so it will be available so you don't need to leave. If you have to step away make it quick and force feed a stack of narcotics before you do so the torpor is going up instead of down. Nothing will Agro to the giga, but stuff will try to eat YOU. Plan accordingly. Happy hunting.
Go faster than sonic if you encounter one in the wild
To kill a Giganotosaurus, a good lightning wyvern, managarmr, or even reaper is preferable. Wild Gigas regain lots of health from eating corpses, so try to clear the area. Make sure to always have an escape plan if things go south.
Make sure to try to make a trap of some sort because the giga will torpor run when it's high on torpor. I tried taming a giga without a trap once and when it was torpor running it died because it ran in the water
How to survive a giga.
Firstly, you could be faster than your friend, but you don’t have friends so that won’t work. Maybe sacrifice some innocent dodo to save yourself.
Secondly, if you are on a mountain, parachute off and pray it loses agro. Though, you killed hundreds of innocent creatures before so better be lucky instead of good.
Thirdly, you can get full ascended gear and blast it to kingdom come. I’m talking full ascended tek, and maybe a few hundred c4s
That’s how you survive a giga.
The many ways to kill a wild giga:
Bite its tail with literally any flyer (Tapejara griffin or tropeo recommended)
Shoot it with a rifle from the back of a griffin/tapejara
Use a lightning/poison wyvern
Spit at it with a basilisk
Shoot it with a velonasaur on the back of a quetzal
Sic a titan on it
Lure it into deep water and use any aquatic dino
Freeze it with an ARK: Additions Cryolophosaurus and retreat when it unfreezes
Use hit-and-run tactics to bleed it to death with a speed leveled carno
Shoot it with a tek saddle (preferably tapejara or rock drake)
Blow it to hell with a saddled Tropeognathus
Press tab and type 'kill' while looking directly at the giga
If you want to encounter a giga in mobile go to Griffen mountain
Honestly tho where are the gigas on mobile
This is one of the most anoying to tame
Never fight a Wild Giganotosaurus head on unless you wanna get rekkt!! If you have tamed a low level wild giga e.g 20-85 ish, be careful around Alpha T-Rex’s as they can still pack quite a punch! I nearly lost my level 85 giga because I had no stamina etc.
The best way to knock out a giga is to make the tail face a cliff and get on a platform saddle quetz and make the giga face the quetz so if the giga runs the cliff blocks the giga from running so you can pump it with trank darts Ps have at least 1000 narcotics
When it goes into rage just keep running and pray that doesn't catch up eat you
Hello, May I ask if Gigas attack you if you're riding on a raptor in mobile?
