Do you want to tame this huge dinosaur? Well, I have just the taming guide for you! There are 2 sections: Mobile Taming and PC Taming. Since PC Taming is more popular, I’ll start with that first;
REQUIREMENTS:
Ascendant Crossbow/Rifle, Tranq Ammo, 1 or 2 LARGE Bear Traps, Bio Toxin (Quantity Depends On Level), and 4 Metal Gateways. You’ll also need lots of Kibble!
FIND YOUR GIGA:
Get on an Argy and find your Giga. Make sure the Giga is a decent level!
SET UP TRAP:
Place 3 Metal Gateways in a box formation like this; \_/. However, don’t place it tilting outwards, unlike that of what is shown in the picture. Just make it a perfect box with an opening. Make sure to leave gaps between the Gateways so the Giga fits through! Leave a bear trap or 2 in the middle to immobilize the Giga.
LURE THE GIGA:
Shoot the Giga and immediately get on your Argy. Try to lead the Giga into the trap. Once it is trapped, place the final Gateway in the opening so that the Giga does not escape.
KNOCKOUT:
Use the weapon of choice and prepare to knock out the Giga. You will need tons of Tranq Ammo for this, so make sure to bring a lot! Shoot every 3 seconds or so. IMPORTANT: Do not miss shots while knocking out the Giga!
TAMING THE GIGA:
Get your absurd amount of Kibbles and Toxins and start taming! Do not leave your tame unmonitored, as the Giga drains torpor way faster than the Therizino or Rex. Have a tribemate to help guard the Giga if you have one available.
I hope this version helped a lot of people! Now let’s see how to tame a Giga on Mobile. I promise this version is very straightforward;
DISCLAIMER: The way I tame Mobile Gigas is very specific, so if you want a more general way to tame one, seek a friend to help you.
REQUIREMENTS:
Soothing Balm, 1-2 Behemoth Dinosaur Gateway set, 75 Bio Toxin or larger, Ascendant Crossbow/Rifle, and Tranq Ammo. You’ll also need Quetzal Kibble (at least 2), so consider making lots of jerky before taming!
FIND YOUR GIGA:
Find a Giga near the snow mountains.
LURE THE GIGA:
Get on an Argy and carry prey. Wild Gigas will not agro on mounted creatures. They will also not accidentally attack your tame either, since they only attack the prey that your Argy is holding. But they will attack and kill your Argy if you do attack them or agro them! I have confirmed this, try it yourself! Lead it to a cliff or mountain, which will be used as the other walls of the trap! If you feel like the Giga will just climb the cliff or go onto the sides of the mountain, you’re probably right. Leave the prey onto a ledge so the Giga does not leave!
TRAP THE GIGA:
Place the Behemoth Gateway(s) and Gate(s) to trap the Giga. Do not unmount your Argy while doing this, or else it will agro on you! At this point, the prey may have fallen down or the Giga has left. Make sure to place them quick!
KNOCKOUT:
If you can’t shoot the Giga on the ledge you are on, build a platform with thatch. Make sure to knock out the Giga quick, or else it will break the Gate!
TAME THE GIGA:
Use the Soothing Balm and Quetzal Kibble. Use Bio Toxin as well. If you use a mountain and it is too slippery, place a structure! I almost lost my Giga to this.
I hope this final result helped! I am not the best at making guides, but I will try my best when it comes to helping the community. I hope you like it!
It’s Big So if you see one remember It’s Big
They have a blind spot. Just grapple to their thigh and shoot it full of tranq darts. WARNING YOU MAY BE HIT A FEW TIMES.
You can also kill Gigas like this.
REMEMBER FELLOW CAVEMEN!
Gigas see movement! So it will take longer for it to see it
After it sees u run or you’re toast
In mobile, only one or two gigas can spawn.
If you encounter a giga,go to your Save Data below it and delete your main save after you save it beforehand then refresh
The numbers are off, because the calculator doesn't account for its natural torpor drain, unless you can fire the listed amount of darts all at the same time, bring at minimum double the recommended amount.
A good desmodus or other agile small size flyers will do, just have to make sure that you have enough stamina or it could mean death.
YOU CAN KILL IT BY FOLLOWING ITS TAIL AND SPAM ATTACK!!
Sit on quetzal platform saddle just above giga’s hit box And shoot. Then eat rare flowers. It will be enraged at you and won’t run away or get distracted even if it is about to be knocked out.
DON'T TRY TO TRAP THEM WITH STONE DINO GATE WAY!!!! IT JUST GIVE 20 SHOTS AND BROKE IT!!!!
(Learned from exprience)
Me and my dad tamed one it took for ever but it was worth it and her name is Godzilla (my dad's idea🤣)
As babies they will eat a lot! So get a lot of meat .like plz
I recommend to do these steps if you encounter one.
Killing:
-get flying creature
-Agro giga
-Fly above water
-watch it drowned
-realize you can’t get it because of stupid sea animals
Taming:
-become the flash
-make a trap
-trap it
-spend 1000 hours shooting tranqs
-get more weapons cuz yours broke
-knock it out
-feed it 1000 nacros
-feed it prime meat and hope they don’t spoil
-or use kibble
-tame it
-use it to kill other giga’s
-realize u messed up
When you try to tame this creature, always have a backup plan if things went wrong. Because I saw one near my base and while setting trap, bad happened and it ended up killing my all 25 tamed animals😡😡😤😤😤. So please secure your base with metal fence and turrets for attacking in case if things gone wrong like to me..
I saw one near the redwood and I got one picker and then ran right under his head and up the hill turned around and saw him running at me while running I was terrified and guy if you want or find one look around the redwood mountains and near the ice good luck and remember don’t stop running’s
You know I was soooo prepared that health gets nerffed from 80 000 to 17 000. I'm cool with that, but NO ONE has EVER SAID that BASE DAMAGE GOES DOWN FROM 100 TO JUST 20???? My G O D. My hard work is just... useless. (ARK mobile)
