What are tips for giganotosaurus? Tips and strategies for giganotosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
In my personal experience the easiest way to tame one of these is to take an argentavis and fly it not to close to giga get its aggro then fly up on a high ledge where the giga can't reach you and tranq it (I am on xbox so it may not work as well on PC)
Here is a good tip if you see a giga congrats your dead but if your with a teammate bola them and run and you live
Imagine if they spawned on scorched earth, you wouldn't really be able to drown them, if a good somehow spawned on scorched might as well delete your save file or just never join again
Wild gifa falls of 90000M cliff 🥱
Tamed Giga after falling off 20m hill: change team😡
When using a trap make SURE YOU ARE ON FLAT GROUND IF YOU DONT YOU AND YOUR BIRD WILL DIE EASILY
Honestly everyone prolly knows this already but for those who don’t, use small metal gates and a few large bear traps. U will need about five to six gateways and at least three large bear traps. Place the first gate however you want it, the n place two more on either side of the first one diagonally.
Ex: _

Make sure you connect them. Place the bear traps inside the formation of gateways. Take note that you can extend the length of the two sides if you want.

(Sorry I can’t connect slashes but hopefully you get it)
Then lure the giga into the trap by going around to the front side and let him follow you into the opening so it will get stuck on the bear traps. Try not to get yourself stuck though. Then go to the back where the opening is and seal off the opening with the remaining gateways. The extra bear traps are if you can’t make it to the back to seal the trap off in time before he gets free. Another note: you cannot do this on a hill. It is very hard. Try to to this on flat ground.
Hope this was helpful!
These creatures will kick your ass. Don’t engage unless you have a clear death wish.
If you see a Giga Run swim dig crawl scatter I don't care just move out the waaaayyy
1st of all if you encounter this creature you may run and shoot with a lot of traquilzers to its ugly face and try to make sure you don’t respect it because it spare you
I have 1 on a mountain in the winter biome where i live, i was flying around it to check it out and it almost killed my pterra in 2 hits. It had 80,000 hp, i dnt knw what lvl it was, but my tip is, dont under estimate the power of the giga
A quick solo strat for taming: put three reenforced dinosaur gateways in a circle, and set a giant bear trap in the middle. Then lure the Giga into the bear trap and close it in with another dinosaur gate. It shouldn’t be able to do any damage to the gates. Then simply knock it out with tranq arrows and tame it! Recommend doing this after level 75. Credit goes to Ssundee for this idea.
When you hear a giga roar get out of there! I had that happen to me. r.i.p King Rexy.
Tamed one today, here what you will need
100 narcoric-More depending on level (check dododex)
4 normal metal dino gateways (Metal behemoth gates work to but normal metal gates are cheaper it will just take longer time to trap. And large bear trap.
Exceptional kibble
Lota of tranqs 300 or more
Steps
Make a u shape out of the gateways but dont perfectly connect them, give a bit of space on the edges. Also only place 3. And inside put a large bear trap.
Lure giga in (i recomend with flier) it will take a couple attempts.
once it in the giga will be stuck for ten seconds. Quickly as possible place the fourth one so its stuck but try to be careful to it could manuever out, if it does, on singleplayer cloae the game it will load a previous save. ( Hopefully not to far back) and try again. Once trapped tranq until asleep and wait for it to reach 1k or 2k torpor and feed it ALL of your narcotics available. And put the kibble in its inventory and leterr eat. You should now have tamed giga.

HOW TO TAME A GIGA
1) Find a giga they usually spawn near mountains btw
2)trap the giga with 4 metal gates and a bear trap by first placing 3 of the gates and the trap in the middle once the giga gets stuck place the fourth
3)DESTROY the gigas face with tranqs preferably from an ascendant longneck or ascendant crossbow
4)shove food up its mouth and wait until ur mum is 9000 years old make sure u also shove narcotics up its mouth as well
5) after ur mum is 9000 years old u will have a giga which u probably won’t even be able to use until ur dad returns with the milk
U NOW OWN A GIGA
The greatest tame ever I tamed one yesterday and lvl 3 - 115
Man there pretty slow but tanks just for taming I went under its belly used a master craft crossbow and tamed it with raw prime meat and raw mutton. To escape this beast get a fast tame (like a gallimimas)idk spelling) lead it to water and your not third breakfast. I named mine killamonjaro.
The Giga will kill everyone you love and care about.
Tribe: oh please we have a great Dino army. He won’t stand a chance.

Find a hard time with metal gates.Try stone behemoth gates instead but they usually need gate doors too..Just tame a dodic and Beaver...And one bear trap as usual.Trap it and start knocking it down...Use compound bow and Toxiciant arrows to get results faster than Tranq arrows.
I’ve been playing this game for about six months bc my bf kept begging me to try it. Today, I tamed my first ever giga, on my own from the back of my poison dragon. I was lucky because I managed to get the giga stuck between some rocks and I just kept shooting at it. And never forget to bring narcotics with you, the giga’s torpor drops really really fast. I also found the unicorn and tamed 3 rexes, all in one day
