What are tips for giganotosaurus? Tips and strategies for giganotosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
I once found a level 150 giga I shot for an hour and then it pass out.
Don't try to fool them or try to play smart . I used my argentavis to do so but I Had to then tame a new argentavis BTW he had almost 4500 HP
12 metal foundations
56 metal double doors
24 metal ramps.
you now have a perma giga trap to lure them into.
build it in giga spawning zones.
you'll need a few gigas if you want to breed the best.
On Ragnarok map in the Highlands by the Red Obelisk there is a river flowing down from the volcano area to the ocean. Just before it gets to the ocean there is an old stone bridge that is part of the map and cannot be destroyed. It is the perfect dimensions to place a metal behemoth gate flush inside it. Go far enough upriver for the Giga to move around a bit and place metal pillars across the river. Everyone in our alliance uses this gate trap to capture and kill or tame Gigas. You just land upriver, walk to within 20ish yds of the pillars, and fire away until the Giga is unconscious
On singleplayer, you can easily tame a giga with cooked fish meat by:
1. Making sure your giga is knocked out
2. Wait until its torpor is low but not on the cusp of the giga waking up
3. Spam all required narcotics to make its torpor high again (or every one if the amount of required narcotics equates to not even all of its torpor)
4. Place down a bunk bed, sleep, die after you wake up, respawn fast enough to get back your bunk bed
5. Repeat step 4 until your giga is tamed or step 3 if you need to use more of your narcs
6. Enjoy +16 levels if you did it with a lvl 150 giga
Run away quickly before it sees you bc if it does ur done

I had 11 giga with many fully imprinted.2 are lvl 130+ and the rest are all 70+ in lvl.The parent had 17k health while their babies which I fully imprinted has 33k health.All of their melee is around 130 percent.11 of them vs a lvl 25 wild giga and all 11 giga suffered 10k loss in health so don't even try to fight a wild one with a tamed one even if it's fully imprinted.
So I almost died to one of these
I was looking for a argy and I was flying around I went to the snow mountain and there she was a 100 giga I was just looking at it then my pteranodon ran out of stam luckily the giga slide off to my left
So I don't know if this works on PS4 or PC because I'm a mobile gamer in ark, but if you make the giga trap with three metal gates around a big trap and you lure it, it will get trapped and then you will just need to place the fourth metal gates on the back of the giga, also when setting up the trap DO NOT MAKE IT COMPLETE if you use the snapping points the giga will not fit. Ones you trap the giga you need to clear all danger around so it doesn't eat anything, then place a bed and sleep, or you can go back to base to get your supplies, i would recommend some good like ascendant crossbow or ascendant longneck rifle, but you can also use ascendant compound bow. Also take your time, mean while the giga is there you can go grind the materials to get the giga. When you're finished go sleep close to the giga and when you wake make sure there was nothing around the giga or else you would need to sleep again, ones you wake up, you start firing tranqs, take alot for emergency, ones it's down, put meat in it, the food should me very low meaning that it's hungry basically meaning it should practically insta tame. Also in mobile if you go close to a giga with a creature it will not attack you meaning you can just put the metal gates around it, but remember that's only on mobile. Once you tamed it you've got yourself a tamed giga, please up it took me quite a while to write this.
They spawn mostly on top of mountain so it’s looking for one fly around on a Argentinians and look on all the melons
How to tame on mobile:
You need: 1 Stone Behemoth Gate set, Ascendant Rifle or Crossbow, some tranq ammo, Soothing balm, 50 Bio Toxin, Quetzal Kibble (2 just in case)
1. Go on your argy and find a Giga near the BLUE Obelisk.
2. Lure it to one of the big rocks in the Obelisk. (This will act as the other Behemoth Gateway.)
3. DO NOT UNMOUNT!!! Once the Giga is in the rock, place the Behemoth Gateway and Gate.
4. Sleep. (Optional)
5. Shoot it with your tranq ammo. (Shoot every 3-5 seconds!)
6. Apply Soothing Balm.
7. Feed Bio Toxin and Kibble.
8. Congrats! You tamed a Giga!
Up if this helped, this is my first guide on how to tame a Giga.
You can tame these with eqqus if you pump mellow into them I just did it.
I had full roit armor a lvl 43 giga almost three shot me and my argiy died lvl 111 rip Flappy😢
Giga's torpor is over cap wouldn't recommend taming as a first tame. -Syntac
Reply to the person that said they needed 13 darts with their master craft rifle: Don’t trust Dododex. Bring at least 200 darts for a level 30. Took 90 darts for a level 18.
*FOR LEVEL 5 AND BELLOW GIGAS*
Grab an argent with or over 970 melee. And make sure it has a LOT of stamina and maybe some good health. What you gotta do is flank it. Once you get close enough, it's turn radius will not allow it to hit you if you go after the legs/flank/tail base. This is how I killed the lvl 5 that lurked too close to home. Took about 10-15 minutes but was worth it. def gonna be breeding argies.
I haven't encountered another one yet. But next time i want to try a thyla with health and melee [imprinted ofc] cause ofthe bleed.
Oh! And be careful! Least with my stats, the lvl 5 did 301 per hit. Sheesh.
Plus, sometimes it will run, so that wastes stamina but you get some free hits.
To escape just fly up and find a peak, regain stam, repeat. Also helps if you get it stuck in a hole or somewhere where you can attack the back, so maybe a tame trap for a giga.
Honestly. I'll never see myself taming one. The rage on it makes me scared. [I'm a wuss, I know.] But good luck, hope I helped!
