What are tips for giganotosaurus? Tips and strategies for giganotosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Does anyone know how many darts it takes to knock one out? All of the KO methods are greyed out. I’m guessing that means a lot?
To tame them: Build a Trap of either metal or tek, knock em out feed him bio toxin so torpor goes up, Feed it prime, mutton, or kibble...you have your brand new dino that goes nuts if he gets burned....
Please don’t try taming this without a trap. It’s not a good idea.
Long story short, over 150 tranq arrows wasted and a journeyman crossbow broken on a level 5.
Trap them in a metal box or something to easily tame them
Giga can't damage metal tier or higher
The tame isn’t really hard, the hard part is to find one! Once that I found one near to the mountains my brother helped me by flying a Tapejara while I was shooting tranq arrows with a crossbow, it got stuck with some rocks and eventually I put it to sleep, now this demos is ours;)
Few hundred arrows and a butt ton of bio toxin and a 7 gate trap method
Make sure to space them
You can use the same thing you would to trap a Rex- just replace the stone Dino gates with metal ones
This hideous beast can turn on there owners if they get mad. Seriously it’s happened to me. I tamed five and they ate me in two seconds.
Where do you go to get a giga please tell
You need atleast 400% movement speed to outrun the giga
I hatched my first giga egg blue twins get yeeted hater peeps
Usually they spawn at the five northern peaks( whitesky Peak, Frozen tooth, Fair's peak, winters mouth, grand hills). Search with a flyer so that you don't get stuck between rocks when you encounter one. As of battling. Don't engage them when you're not equipped properly. Best to attack on top of a Griffin or quetzal( for quests find a low level). Hope this helped.

I've been playing Ark since 2017 on console. The easiest way to trap a giga is with 4 metal billboards and a large bear trap. You place 3 then the bear trap, then lure it in. You have to be quick because the bear trap only lasts a couple seconds. Place the last behind and start tranqing. It's a giga so use dododex to see how many tranqs you will need. You will also need a TON of narcotics. Only take high lvl males and any lvl female, because the baby is more likely to inherit the Male stats. Last but not least do not think you can take on anything with a giga. All it takes is an alpha carno to get stuck underneath you and you hard work is down the drain. Wild gigas spawn with 80k health but when you take one it goes down so you cant kill gigas with gigas.
When using a pet giga careful when it is on low health because it will turn on you and you are as good as dead.....yeet!
Run for your life because this guy hits like a truck
How to tame:
1. Use a Tapejara (my fave) and stick to the side of a mountain (it must be flat)
2. Start trancing the giga
3. Bring Quetz Kibble or meat for da giga
4. 123 boom u have an Alpha Compy.
Easy tame on Fjordur. Find em on Volcano Island, near the tar pits. Get you a Desmodus, (make sanguine elixir). Clear the area around it of all creatures. When its health takes damage, it'll will eat whatever it sees. After that's done, latch onto a surface somewhere above its head, out of reach. Plug away with shocking tranq darts. Use biotoxin to keep it knocked out. Exceptional kibble, plus sanguine elixir. Ride off into the sunset together, killing everything in the way.
Keep in mind that the giga gets NERFED when you tame it. Also, if you're playing on casual on mobile (like I do lol) don't tame low level ones! Especially if their damage is 100% because their damage is subtracted by 80%!
"He'll be coming down by the mountain, but not the Redwoods one. I mean all the other large ones, where the rare gigas are found. So go up to see them and there is a big warning. He is very fast, he is very tough, run quick enough...to avoid getting gnashed in the ass."
Mobile and PC
If you keep turning and biting the beginning of its tail you can kill it with an argy. Note that it will take a while and you will need to fly away when your stamina gets low or it will be one nasty way to go.
