What are tips for giganotosaurus? Tips and strategies for giganotosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Get 4 stone gates and gate ways many people think tranquil darts are good but they suck the long neck takes way to long to reload and by the time u shoot agian it's torp is gone use tranquil arrows and make sure to have at least 2 tribe mates with u and of course bring plenty of narcotic have fun taming
Test have shown that gigas are hard to tame solo but if u have to if u place down 3 metal Dino doors and place a large bear trap inside the doors center. Have it follow u in run out place last door then blast with tranqs. That's the easiest method in my oppinion
Make sire you have more than person helping you. Don't try to solo tame. Must have a questzal before you tame. 1 flyer 2 shooters. And if you need get help from another tribe.
Also when tranqing tranq non stop if stop or chase for more than 30 sec half or more of what you just did went down the drain 3 ppl knock it out quick def need quetz head shots are barely better than body shots if u have a giga with 40000+ health and 40000+ dmg aka imprinted then u can kill a lvl 1-16 wild gig if ur on a hill facing down at it but I still wouldn't risk it due to rage effect gigs r def not slow don't fight a giga good luck out the -ALONEARKER
Many people go into the game with a decent amount of narcotic that's their mistake you need a lot and I mean a lot. The giga is like an addict it loves narcotic and I recommend you have more then 2/3 tribe mates helping to knock it down. Good luck survives you'll need it.
Make sure to have an argentavis pick you up and u tranquilize it while your picked up
To knock it out you get it stuck in between 4 metal Dino gates. How do you do this is have at least u and a friend. What you do is put up 3 gates in a square shape. Fly a bird and have the giga follow you. Make it run to the trap and once it is in the trap use a friend to put up the other gate to stop it from getting out. Don't use a gate just the frame. Than you just tranq it while it is stuck. Easy peezy!!!
The best way to tame a giganotosaurus is to make 4 metal gateways and a large bear trap have two people one to make it follow him into the trap and one to place down the final gateway behind the giga this can also be done with 1 player but is dangerous.
You can solo down them if you have a quetz. Trap gigs into any kind of rock and shoot arrows once stuck. Best way
Use metal dinosaur gates and bear traps to trap it if you cant get these lead it somewhere where you can get it stuck and I recommend taming it with 3 or more players so one can fly if it trust to run while the others shoot and if your meat taming have preserving bens or a fridge to store prime
You can use 4 Stone Behemoth Gates as a trap don't bother wasting the Metal Works just the same
I very easy way to knock out the giganotosaurus is to find a good area you would like to tame him in then kite him close to the area. Once that is done do a U shape with small metal gateways(no doors required). Put a large bear trap in the middle, kite the giga into the cube and he will get stuck on the bear trap for roughly 10seconds, quickly fly around the giga to the back but nake sure your out of his bite range because it can be deadly, then place the last metal gate closing up the u shape and making it a square . After you finish traping him you need to knock him out from a far distance away for from a qeutzal platform,which i usually perfer. After you knock him out make sure to pump him full of narcs after a minute or two ir he will wake up.
Best way to tame them from my experience on the island is to use metal behemoth gates to make a taming pen. Or to use stone (be aware it may break before you knock it out, so bring spares and get ready to risk life and limb), and shoot from a Quetz platform saddle. Bring lots of arrows, narcs and Kibble (if you're taming solo), and preferably a lot of cross bows or just a high damage journey+ one.
If you are having trouble knocking this animal out by your self,try having more people help you out. The best animal to help with this is a questzal with a plateform saddle so you can stand on the plateform and knock it out.
Have 10 stone Dino gates and gateways place 7 leaving enough space for the gigs to walk in have the gigs agri someone while the other person places the gates up the tribes builds on personally owned then the person who built the gates leaves the tribe so the gigs won't agro on the gates and destroy them Good Luck
My solo Tip. Fly an argentavis to required Giga then jump off above the Giga and grappling hook your argentavis and traq away ;)
For any types of severs including primitive plus can us stone gateways/brick gateways/metal gate ways/steel or metal pillars depending on server type with large bear traps after trapped in bear trap giga can not spin meaning a person can place them safely behind trapping in and tranqin' easily after you've down the giga can put wooden foundations with walls n ceilings to protect from other creatures and players
Note concrete and stone can be destroyed by giga but brick steel and metal can not be, and using pillars may be hard not having enough time to place so suggest doing 2sets of gateways then pillars if can obtey resources for these
A good Xperia boost lure it into a ditch and cycle high health Dino's in and out with rocket back up
Add about 100 -150 darts to whatever the dododex tells you it's always wrong not once have I knockout a high level giga and it been accurate based on 52 giga tames in the last 3 months
If you are to encounter this beast you should run no matter what for my friend had full riot gear and he still was one shot if you have a titanosaurus then go ahead otherwise get out of there make sure he is never in close enough range to bite you and he soon loses you that's all I have to say never try to knock him out on foot
