Easiest way to knock them out is with a Tapejara and a friend. One flies, one shoots tranq darts out of a longneck rifle. Bring way more darts then dododex says, bring kibble and at least 400-500 Narcotics no matter the level.
Naa me not tame giga. today me go tame giga with 150 tranq aroow- a normal person who's English is very dengerous.
It’s a passive tame go up to it and punch it then it will tame:)
The giga is a ferocious creature you need about 500 tranq arrows to knock down a 135 make a metal trap and then knock it out with a tranq gun and shocking tranq darts.
Use exceptional kibble.

If you want to tame a giga just bring a lot of darts whit a good rifle and trap it using 4 metal gateways and a couple of large bear traps try to trap it in a box (first set up something like this using metal gate ways in a shape like this |_| and place the large bear trap in the middle and try to get the giga into the box the large trap will stop the giga form moving for a short time giving you a chance to trap fully so you can start to knock out the giga it can take up to 250 darts for a lvl 300 if mobile and only for a low lvl like 1-50 it can take up to 60-90 darts when you knock it out you have to place A TON of bio toxin or narcotics to keep it a sleep because it torpor go down like FAST and by fast I mean FAST so you have feed it narcotics or bio toxin a lot (if on mobile use a balm best using a 10x balm that you can get form the hunters tubule there not a 100% chance to get balm for the hunter tubule but there is a good chance to get a balm) and use prime meat of if you can kibble well when tamed they get a big nerf because they lose most of their health and a lot of damage so they are weaker but quite useful for raiding and attacking bases so I do recommend to try tame them on a PVP sever or a PVX sever on a PVE sever they are not as useful but they are still a good tame….)
Run, just run
If your with a friend hold them above the giga with an argy while they shoot the giga with tranqs
Breeding is best when u raise atleast 6 to 10 at a time. Reward is greater for same time period and time will pass faster for you while occupied feeding so many. Another trick is to run ur gachas for ele while you raise. Two things at once
Taming (5x) to a LV145 will required roughly 460 Shocking Tranquilizer Darts and about 150 Narcotics. I guess the app is not accurate at all. So good luck to tame one of those...you need it ;)
Lvl 215 Giga will take 250-300 Tranq darts out of blue rifles stay on high ground!!
Whoever said that giga don’t aggro if you’re on a mount on mobile is only half correct.
I tested this in multiplayer server, it will not aggro on you up close (even if you attack it, though I recommend not doing this because I haven’t test this in single player yet. Trust me, I’ve tried this a few times to lure it into trap and it only aggro when I left my mount)
BUT IT WILL AGGRO ON YOU IF YOU PLACE DOWN ANYTHING NEAR IT. I almost lost my lvl 367 argy because of this. So no, you can’t ride a mount, place metal walls around it and leave to tranq it. It will aggro and immediately attack you. Just build a trap somewhere near and lure it into it is your best option
If you are thinking about taking your most op Rex/spino or something like that to a head on fight with a wild giga, remember that the giga’s bleed effect can be devastating. Its bleed reduces your hp by 1% (of your max hp) per second, meaning that whatever op Dino with a op saddle you’re riding WILL die within 100 seconds when fighting a wild giga. So make sure you have enough DPS to kill the giga in 100 seconds. Wild gigas all have ~80k hp so the bare minimum DPS needed is 800. On mobile, there’s a way to actually prevent bleed completely by force feeding your mount a lesser antidote. Still beware tho since a wolf giga without bleed is still as powerful as a high lvl alpha Rex.
I have over 1000 damage longneck through massive artifact it only take 12 dart for 150 level giga mean I don’t need trap
Does it spawn on extinction? I’ve seen corrupted ones but are they tameable on extinction? Also never fight gigas, unless you have an insane imprinted giga
Knocking out the giga is the hard part. After you accomplish this, drop kibble and biotoxin into the unconscious beast and sit atop its prone form. Keep the gigas inventory open and watch it's torpor plummet until it gets to around 1500-2000 then pump the biotoxin into it. As long as the gigas torpor is raising, it can't drop. For Knocking out a giga, spare no expense on a metal trap. Use behemoth gates and large bear traps. You can use normal metal gates but it's tricky and I have died and lost many tames this way. Another trick I have used is on The Island. Find a giga in the snow and lead it to the ice floes on the river. The giga will get stuck and then you can tranq it with ease.
While walking on ragnorok for my first time playing the game I see this, I go up to it and next thing you know subway surfer music plays and a level 79 Giga is chasing a level 2 newbie… still haunting to this day.
Once you have knocked out one of these beasts either have the food on you to begin with or have a friend who can get it while you. Sit there and feed it narcotics I swear you look away for ten seconds and it's dropped a quarter of its torpidity.
All you need to do to tame a giga level 4 is a minor soothing bathe and 3 raw prime meat and a truck load of nac
