Stay away from these beasts!
This beast killed my lvl 338 spino and my 276 lvl theri
Looking for a action filled knockout and taming process, you found the right creature, For anybody who does not know or wants to know, I recommended reading this tip, I have tamed 2 gigas on singleplayer, and 3 of them on mutiplayer, anyways starting of with number 1. Giganotasaurus is a VERY, very dangerous predator, When severely damaged by a single attack it will activate its Rage buff, this buff makes its bite almost twice as deadly, gains a slight speed boost, and will automatically aggro on basically ANYTHING, I think if there were two gigas and one was raged, they would try and kill each other, Even killing one isn’t an option, the typical wild Giga starts with 80,000 health, and (I think) it has 150 melee dmg, and from what I know, they do 400 dmg per 100 md, sodevide that by 2 your thinking somewhere about 600 dmg per a single bite.
Up next is number 2, Make your move. Taming this beast is actually easier said than done, I suggest a quetz as your pet for taming this beast, as It can carry a lot of equipment you WILL need for taming, you need to prepare to tame this, the cheapest trap you can use is stone, know the higher the lvl the more dmg it does per second, so don’t use stone for high levels, I (most of the time) use metal Dino gateways, as they cannot destroy it, also bring 3 beartraps, a few stacks of narcotics, (or a lot of bio toxin) As much arrows and spare cross bows, or bows because if that one breaks game over, you can’t fly back to base and expect it to have the same amount of torpor as before. Bring a weapon of choice, for defending yourself from other creatures during or after knockout, I find swords or high ranking axes or rifles to work quite nicely, these creatures like quetz kibble, so definently consider making some, it’s expensive but worth making rather than crying that it takes so long to tame without it, make sure to pack urself food, and water (I use veggies as they do both) make sure u have decent ranking equipment such as: apprentice, journeymen, master craft as they inflict more torpor, thus lowering the tranqs needed.
And finnaly number 3. Location and apprehension. Finding one is hard if you don’t know where to look, I find them quite common arround the mountains of the island, most commonly in the arctic peaks, or the grand hills, Once you find a Giga find a flat area and place the trap, leave space in the corners of each one so that 1, the Giga cannot get out, and 2 it will get in the trap easier. DO NOT place all of them down, place 3 in a box shape, and save the last one for later, one the gates are down, place the beartraps and spread them out inside the trap one ready this brings us to 4. Lure the Giga in a straight path with no obstacles (removing them safely will be less obstructions that might send the Giga to the wrong direction) one inside the trap, insure that it is stuck in the trap (it will be looking down and head tilted and biting down on the trap) now fly behind it with your flying pet, and place down the final gate behind it forming a box arround the Giga that will not give way, or let the giga out, this will make taming the giganotasaurus easier, next grab a few bows or crossbows, and as much tranqs as you can carry, do not use rifles for darts, it takes longer for it to knock out because of its long reload time, and does not have a headshot torpor multiplier, crossbows and bows work better, grab one stack of narcs, and as much tranqs u can carry without becoming easy prey for other animals, now you can safely begin the knockout process, once knocked out, take all of ur narcs (100) and stuff 50 of it in to give you time to grab the rest of the supplies, 10 quetz kibble should be enough for a lvl 100 or lower, the more the safer chance of taming it, check on it every 20 or so seconds to make sure it’s torpor is not going down, it loses 500 torpor per second so stay vigilant. Enjoy your new tamed Giga!! I really hope this info helped you! Up if helpful! 👍👍👍
I led him off a cliff and stole her egg😎
Using pump action shotgun on this baby is very affective, if you have enough bullets
They take a lot of damage from turrets. Don't try to soak with them or they will rage and kill you
Run.
On ragnorok there is a spawn place in the grass lands by the light house near the wyvern trench also I used about 40 shock darts and 300 bio toxin on tameing one put be worned a level one wild giga has 80000 health and 100 present melle damage. A tamed level one giga will have 20000 and 25 melee damage . Thumbs up if this has been helpfull to you
If you are In ascended you won’t need a trap because they almost always spawn in the mesh
Told some new people that a giga is 2-3 Tranq arrows and gave them coords to one
There are no new people anymore
For old ark mobile only: The best way to tame a giga like all others, is to trap it with metal gates. You can even do it close to it on a mount really. Just make sure not to dismount. Then, set a tiny camp with a roof on a sleeping bag to starve the giga. Forcing it to eat super fast. Also make sure to use soothing balm with it as well as using big bird kibble. After a few seconds depending on the giga’s level, you have yourself a hugely nerfed dino
Note all hunters; if you find one these on a low level, immediately run. Even if you are at a high level these things can kill you with one stomp.
Don‘t be like me please don‘t try Tame this guy with Bow and Arrows
You can knock this fella out without metal gates. All you need is 4 behemoth gates, and a bear trap. Put them in a square shape, and put the trap in the middle. Don’t forget to put gates on the gate frames! Make sure there are small gaps in the corners of the gateframes so you can still shoot tranqs at it. Lure the giga into the trap, and when it can’t move because of the bear trap, close the gate behind it, then start shooting it. I hope this has been a big help!
Only if I woke up as strong as I was before
God mode can be a blessing and a curse at time R.I.P lvl 150
I did encourage a giga in the center i didn't run away but i did fight it then trapped it this morning. Then i tamed it.
With sanguine elixer and instead of using exceptional kibble use extraordinary kibble then it will tame really quick on official servers.
To find a good giga on mobile:
1. Tidy save and fly to a few spawn points and normal save if there is no giga
2. Repeat until u find one - if it is not the lvl u want, restore last save and fly near it without spawning in (to save time) then save again
3. Keep restoring save and then go near the area to spawn it in again and again until u find one with a high lvl, nice colours, etc.
Hoped this helped - For me it’s the fastest way to not get a bad lvl giga as they are pretty common at mid-low lvls
