What are tips for giganotosaurus? Tips and strategies for giganotosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
If your on mobile and want to get easy levels, get an explorer note and a crossbow with a grapple, if you grapple on to the giga it cant hit you and u can kill it if you have a decent sword, aim the grapple at the hind hips of the giga, i killed one with hard brutal and it was level 365, took a few minutes and i got 4 levels which is a lot for the difficulty i was on and i was on level 53
They dont attack tamed titanosaurs anymore (they used to) so your completely safe on a titanosaur
After the update of summer bash i tried to look for gigas on all mountains even did a pattern starting from the mountain near carno island to the blue obelisk but it seems that i dont see any gigas any more. Does anyone encounter the same or am i doing something wrong?
If your on the new gen2 map these suckers are not as common as you would think I've spent 5 hours only find a level 15 to knock out i fly above with tek suit I dont use traps, there way easier in Rockwell's garden. For a 150 I bring 300 tranqs with a asc longneck and about 100 more shocking tranqs once its knocked put food and narcs in wait for torpor to drop to about 1/4 then force it 800 narcs (for 150) then you shouldnt have to worry about it waking up I use cooked mutton not the best but it works, hope this helped.
Extremely high torpor they said, just build a trap they said, R.I.P is what they say now
Build a trap made of metal. Stone Also works but gigas can destroy stone structures.
Not a taming tip but a lvl1 giga on Ark Mobile does 250 dmg
If you have a tapijara try to find one that is next to a cliff then tand on that cliff then good luck from there.
Grapple hook its leg then punch it until it gets knocked out. Or shoot it with an arrow but still grapple it’s leg. Make sure you can do that so it won’t bite you.
*Flying over the mountains on an argy, going to get a wolf.*
*Stops for a rest.*
Me: An allo? What’s it doing here? Haven’t seen one of those this high up.
*Telescope time.*
Me: Woah, that’s a giga! I’m gonna tame it.
*Looks it up, finding that it’s way too expensive.*
Me: Welp, it’s a tad close to my base. I’m gonna divebomb it and kill it.
*Divebombs and gets bit.*
Me: Holy... half my argy’s health is gone. I’ll be careful next time.
*Continues to divebomb, and both argy and I become his snacc.*
Me: No! Raven! Nooooo!
*Grabs bary and goes to retrieve stuff.*
*dIeS oNcE aGaIn To ThE gIgA*

Moral of the story: don’t mess with dangerous stuff. Especially the giga. You’ll save yourself a ton of time, effort, and stuff avoiding these overgrown-megalizards.
>:C
Take a quick look and then run
If it says dangerous creatures nearby don't try to find out what just run. I lost my level 50 bear while flying off a mountain he died while giga was chasing us. I died shortly after since i was firing every weapon i owned due to anger. I went back on my lowest level argy (i had some decent stuff i needed that didn't stay when i died) if memory is correct i died again. We will meet again giga until then you live not sure on level though since i play on easy and casual. But yet i seen a 116 lvl yeti 💩 myself
Use bio toxin to keep it down. It’s easier to get than narcotics ( just kill a jelly and harvest with a good sickle) and deal double the torpor
If you have any good friends that you know irl then just talk to them about playing ark so you can start a tribe and totally shreck or tame the thing. 🐉
If but only if you are on a mountain and one of them spawns in then it is very easy to get stuck
Tamed a lvl 125 stayed up all night doing it. Fell asleep woke up... well I don't have a base but I still have my giga.
Don't be lazy, Just make 5 Metal Dino Gates, Place them in a Diamond like shape but don't place a gate on any side that the giga is standing, lure it into the trap, also make a large bear trap so it doesnt run away from the tap straight away, And now after the giga has been in large bear trap, place the last Dino Gate and Boom your giga is stuck forever(Gigas can't break metal), Knock it out it will most likely take you around 30 mins to tame it, but always Bring more Narcotics, maybe around 100-200, incase if your numbers were wrong, ( Always use a soothing balm (For Mobile Players), Once tamed don't make it jump for even slightly higher grounds because if it takes even like 3k damage, it's Rage Mode will become Active, It goes away in like 15 seconds tho, Always put all points in meelee because putting levels in other stats will be mod likely useless.
Don’t fight this thing head on.
To kill this thing without a (heavily mutated) giga of your own, you’ll need one of the following:
1. A ranged attacker such as a wyvern or velonasaur and a way to prevent the giga from reaching you.
2. A trap and some rather disposable allos and/or deinonychus.
3. A large gang of dinos bred for killing bosses, such as rexes.
4. Turret death wall
5. (Arguably easiest way) A large patch of water to lure it out to. Gigas never learned how to swim. Bonus points if you add sharks to make it bleed and die even faster.
Me and my homies going to tame one level 10 with Lev 200+ raptors and 500 tranq arrows and with ascent BOWS!!!
