Tips & Strategies

What are tips for giganotosaurus? Tips and strategies for giganotosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
If you fly an argy near it, fly around the shattered ice for a while he will sometimes get stuck between 2 floats and since he is so big he can't move. Then sit nearby with plenty of prime meat or mutton and 125-150 narcotics, you can blast him with darts... He's Yours! (This is how I do it).
When you encounter a Giga you die
I once saw a giga ... im typing this from his stomach
Pray to the ark gods that there is a Titanosaurus nearby, and if one is so lucky? Run between its legs and get as far away from the looming armageddon that is titan v giga!
If you encounter a Giga, they are really easy to escape. Step one, get a bola. Step two, bola your friend or set your tame on passive. Step three, run while you can.
Regardless of what you’re riding,
Don’t.
Just don’t
Hey! I know it says the Giganotosaurus is not in Fjordur, however i’ve encountered a few in their R forms
On mobile they won’t aggro onto you if you are riding a mount. However, if you dismount at any point anywhere near the giga or attack it in any way, it will attack immediately. Up so more people know
I knocked one out with a HUGE amount of froggo’s I started with 35 frogs all level 100-150 and by the time he fell I had 4 frogs one ^ is a frog memory!
On Valguero, I've confirmed three spawn locations.
14.2 67.5
13.2 60.6
38.3 67.4
Tamed and killed multiple at these co ords, there should still be another spawn or two on the map
If you run into 2 gigas and one yuty and it's carno pack at the same time, except your fath and tell you dino to flee away.
DISCLAIMER: IF YOU ARE ON ANY OTHER PLATFORM BESIDES OLD MOBILE IGNORE THIS TIP.
On old mobile these things are neutral to all tames, meaning that if you try to lure a giga to a rando's base to be evil and they have all their tames set to passive, then that's not gonna do anything unless you manually aggro the giga then tank each hit with your tame and the dude's tames in the giga's hitbox until something dies.
This also means that you can easily trap a giga by using a medium sized mount, equipping 4 metal dino gates in your hotbar, then go up to the giga and quickly place the gates when it stops moving. There exists a video somewhere on the ark mobile discord of me doing this with a pachy.
This also applies to rexes
However if you try this on any other platform including ark use you and your tame will almost certainly die as unlike old mobile wild gigas WILL always be aggressive to all tames.
If you're on unc mobile and you level up to level 92 you can easily find these using this process:
1. Activate the hunt: giganotosaurus pursuit
2. Check every mountain in the top part of the map, you can do this by flying to the top of each mountain one by one and a white locator arrow can appear that tells you the nearest giga within 1 km. This locator arrow can also locate gigas that haven't been rendered in yet so if you are on singleplayer you can save a file to restore right before you render in the giga to reroll its stats. If the white arrow doesn't appear, move to the next one and check all 5 mountains until you either find a giga or the white locator arrow never appears which means there are zero gigas on the map.
3. If you found a giga, congrats! You can trap it by mounting any mount that allows you to easily place 4 metal dino gates then go up to the giga using the mount and place them around it by putting them in your hotbar. (I tried this with a pachy and it worked) The giga won't attack you since gigas are neutral to all tames on old mobile.
4. If you aren't on singleplayer and you wanna find a higher level giga then abandon the pursuit and either kill it to free up space for more gigas to spawn or just move to another mountain if the giga you saw was found on the first mountain you searched. Make sure to abandon the pursuit before you kill the giga, as I killed like 30 gigas using my own method and tamed 3 max level gigas then wondered why i gained 200 kg when I killed the last giga, then realized i accidentally forgot to abandon the pursuit and now have to manually search every mountain by myself.
Note if you are using this pursuit to find gigas to grief people on multiplayer it doesnt work as on old mobile gigas are neutral to all tames and if they have turrets the giga will just aggro onto that and they can't even damage auto turrets since if you punch it it produces a metal sound.
You don't have to outrun the Gig, just your friends! XD
If one is encountered near water, you can simply lure it out to sea with a flyer and it will swiftly drown. Given the water is deep enough. If encountered inland not near water. Pray to the overseers you have something fast enough to out run it. Then promptly die because they're as fast as a mad Hispanic mother with a shoe. Not as deadly as one though.
