I knocked out a giga I’m playing on easy mode and plus I’m 51 I am spamming sleep thing and I am gonna go and try and get prime hope the giga don’t get up if it dose then more wasting hours farming narcotics
Watch the “Better Giga Trap” video on YouTube. You’ll thank me.
Wild gigas are more powerful then tamed ones.
Afther place 3 metal dinogate you can lure him by use pretanodon carry any small wild creature lure him to cage and drop it that you carry it while giga stuck in cage dismount and quickly place 1 metal dinogate to complete cage it
This guy's torpidity drains FAST so be constantly inflicting torpidity. Having more than one person helps a ton.
All I have to say is MOTHER F'ER HARD TO TAME OR KILL! I JUST STARTED TRYING AND I STILL END UP ON MY GRAVE.
Use a quetzal with a platform to tranq it from a safe height.
The first time I encountered one of these asshats I was on my flying mount (Argentavis) with a Pteranodon escort. It ate us all before I had a chance to realize what happened. I was traveling with my dear sweet monkey Poogun. He was my first tame and my dearest friend. The bastard ate Poogun out of pure malice because there wasn't enough meet on him to fill its pinky toe. In an act of anger and vengeance I grabbed all of the Dimorphadons (over 50 of the winged monsters) and Raptors in my base and flew back on another argentavis with the intention of murdering the creature. The soul surviving dinosaur was the one sitting on my shoulder. Giganotosaurus ate well that day. I made poor decisions.
Run and you'll live... Or not. In all seriousness, if you aggro one, try to lead it to other Dino's or if you have a bird then fly off on that.
Since the flyer nerf, quetzals aren't a option & the Tapejara rider doesn't always have their shots counted. We recently tamed a 150 on foot. For those of us who don't have metal traps for these monsters, I offer this advise. Smugglers Pass. It is between two mountains, almost perfectly so kiting it down is a breeze. Depending on your server, this may be taken. But where the first two cliffs open after following the river in, is a giga nigtmare. There are two rock faces you can stand on & fire from. A third if you're willing to dance with an argent or two. While the Giga may run, it will likely become stuck on the numerous rocks, cliffs, and probable pillars if in PVE. Remember, this is a Giga. Light it up. Don't wait five seconds between shots like most. In our experience, it's best to spend every arrow you have, break all of your bows, and then light it up again some. Until that thing hits the ground, it can take more arrows. In the worst case, you save pumping some narcotics.
In the event it breaks in your base (based on recent experience) it's aggro will be hard to draw. Fighting is not recommended, a lvl 20 killed 2 low lvl Giga's, & 200+ 8 Spino's, 10 Rex's, 2 Dragon's amongst other things. If possible break open a part of base and lure it through with birds, drown it. If fighting last resort pop everything to neutral & rain down off Quetz's with arrow's or Dragon breath
To the person say they will use a quetz with a platform saddle to tame it’s almost impossible to tame with out a trap, I’ve tried and failed so many times.
To trap it make a bear trap in for dinosaur gates, place three of the dinosaur gates in a square shape with one of the sides missing then placed the bear trap inside the square after that, lead the giga in side of the square through the empty side on towards the bear trap, and then fill in that side with the last dinosaur gate, and then knock it out how you see fit (best with a good long neck and shocking tranq darts) feed it either superior kibble, mutton, or prime meat. Make sure to have a good amount of narcotics if the taming a slow on your server, then you got yourself a giganotosaurus
If you are making a trap don't build it near rocks, I was making a trap but halfway the giga would not walk over rocks smaller than it
Never take shortcuts I tried play the trap down In a bad position I got hit next to giga It killed me And my maewing And almost killed my max level wyvern
4x3 metal foundations, 5 high metal doorways, metal ramps, shoot it, run it into the trap.
All will die if u tame beat pvp tame
To find circle the higher places of the west artic mountain on the island Warning be careful if taming on griffin mountain/ non snow mountain closest to carno island cause of the royal griffs unless ur over level 80
Don't try to tame one without a trap or you'll be wasting your time
