What are tips for giganotosaurus? Tips and strategies for giganotosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
I led two of them in a trap at once (without bear traps, just be a man and scream while crapping yourself trying to run around to the back of it and place a Dino gate) and killed the lower level one, and then the high level one never agro to me. Haven’t tested twice yet but if y’all wanna try go ahead 🤷🏻♂️
If you run into this Dino remember were you fuod it you can tame it later hope you don’t die like if help you bye🙂
I strongly recommend using a harpoon launcher, one shot tame and you don’t waste anytime, its a one shot with the harpoon launcher.
The mighty giga, a fierce foe to encounter, matching the strength of the dodo. Jokes aside, here is what you’ll need to domesticate your very own giga.
An argentavis
A LOT of narcotics or loads of bio toxin (900-6000 reccomended)
Good amount of tranqs or tranq darts
From my experience taming a giga on mobile, I recommend about 150 toxicant arrows (but grinding the bio toxin could probably be a pain)
Or about 350-600 tranq arrows, bring extras just incase.
4 metal gates for a trap as gigas cannot break metal!!!!
This will be a guide for mobile AND pc/ any other device on The Island.
Step 1: Finding a giga. Gigas can be tricky to find if you have no idea where they spawn. They spawn on just about any of the big mountains you see. This includes: Whitesky peak, Fars peak, winters mouth, volcano mountain, weathertop mountain, And the Grand hills.
Step 2: Trap the giga! This is where things get a little different. On pc, or any other device that isn’t like ark mobile, you’ll want to place 3 gates and kite the giga into the 3 gates. On mobile, you have it way easier as it ignores people mounted on tamed creatures. Simply wait untill the giga stops walking and place the 4 gates on the argy. Be careful incase it gets aggroed to something else on mobile and hits your bird on accident. If giga is trapped, we move onto step 3.
Step 3: begin the knocking out process. Not gonna go much into depth for the knocking out. Treat the trapped giga as a buffed up trapped dino with a lot of torpor and fast torpor reduce. You want to make sure you get headshots if you can, as anything will matter in this part. If giga is knocked, we move onto step 4.
Step 4: Depending on the level, it will need 4-19 exceptional kibble with 60-309 narcotics or 155 bio-toxin. Found this info on the wiki. As for people on the mobile (I have ark on the switch AND on my tablet), you might need more depending on the gamemode you’re playing so consider these rates as a rough draft of what you’ll need. On mobile, it’s preferred food is quetzal kibble. You can use a soothing balm to speed things up though. Make sure to stay on the giga like how a raptor refuses to stop chasing you to make sure it doesn’t wake up, because it will wake up VERY fast.
Step 5: you have tamed a giga! This murder machine may not be able to be used for bosses normally, but there are a lot more uses for it! Uses: Meat harvester. The giga is almost if not the best dino for gathering large quantities of meat, only rivaled by the mosa, the sea giga.
Pvp mount: The giga is one of the BEST pvp Dinos, and for good reason! With enough time your lines can become overpowered! And also gigas have mesh bite im pretty sure. Guardian. The giga will handle most natural threats besides a wild giga itself.Tank, of course, despite the health nerf once tamed, it is still very tanky! Alpha hunter. You can find more fun in hunting with other Dino’s but giga is basically an easy clap.
Wooden clubs, mantis, magnifying glass and a few trancs you add that all up you get easy games thank me later
Dunno why no one actually thinks of this but here is the best tip for taming gigas(and probably any other land dino).You just build a giant tower out of metal by using those stick structures.You build a ladder and climb on top of it.you can use walls as platforms.Then just shoot he giga from the top until it gets john cena’d.You can also store meat on top of the tower.Though make shure you have a parachute because it will deastroy the ladder.
We got raided by bright red gigas twice 🥲 I hate people with red gigas killing innocent people XD
I did a two in one I killed the first giga with my absence pump and then another giga comes and eats the other giga body so I just do what every person would do I shoe him with toxic arrows and he knocked out so I gave him soothing balm and prime and he was mine
Higher damage on the longneck your using mean more torpor per dart
So trap it and use your crossbow and feed it meat like just meat
I play on mobile, all i did to tame him was just find a really good spot on a rock where he’ll stuck and stay there kept trying to attack me while i unload all of my tranq darts into him. You’ll need a lot of Narcotics or Bio toxin like A LOT as his torpor decrease really fast, if you bring his favourite kibble and soothing balm you wont have to waste so much narcotics on him
Thinking about taming one of these beasts!
Difficulty 10/10 very hard (not necessarily hard but not easy and time consuming)
What you will need.
A lot of tranqs (1-2k for a 180)
5-6 Metal gates
Large bear trap
30 exceptional kibble (just my suggestion you can use less)
Around 1k extra narcotics
How to trap
Place metal gates in a hexagon like shape with a gate in your inventory
Place a large bear trap in the middle
Get the gigas attention and run like you’ve never run before
After it steps in the bear trap place the gate in your inventory behind it
Taming
Shoot it with tranqs DO NOT STOP
It’s torpor drops insanely fast and is insanely high (probably around 100k torpor for a 180)
Once it is out put all your narcotics in its inventory
Keep your kibble in your inventory and pump a couple narcotics every 2-3 minutes
After the beasts food goes down a bit put the kibble in its inventory and let it eat
Continue to pump narcotics every 2-3 minutes until it tames
Feel like I should mention to only pump about ten narcotics each time and now I feel like that about sums up how to tame a Giganotosaurus so survive and good luck taming survivors

To tame this beast u have to build 4 metal dinosaur gate because giga can't attack it and u have to use ascendant longneck from hunt dire bear and to trap giga use herbivore creature and use it as a bait good luck
How to tame a giga
1-get 4 metal gate way not (behemoth) 3 can work but 4 is easier
2- place the gate way like this |_|
3-place a large bear trap in the middle
4-get the giga aggro'd to you and lead it in the trap
5-once the giga is stuck in the bear trap quickly go put the last piece of dino gate way the trap should look like this □
6-then just ahoot shocking tranquilizer darts ,tranq darts and it should be knocked out
Thank you
Watch out,
because he will kill you with one chomp if you not careful,
because he has bleeding effect and he's a MONSTER!
pov: you’re trying to play ragnarok normally
As narcoberries take many seconds to apply torpor, feed them these as a few hundred may stop the ridiculous torpor drain for ten or so minuites.
Saw one in the snow biome while riding my 46% imprinted Spino, I was looking for alpha rexes that time.
Luckily the giga ignored my Spino and we had enough time to get away.
Once I saw Giga a few days after starting my world and I wanted to see what level it was (without a spyglass) so I got close to it with my pteranodon and let’s just say me and my pteranodon had a good time in heaven after that.
