What are tips for giganotosaurus? Tips and strategies for giganotosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
To make it easier just use forcetame
Have a another dinosaur to make a diversion while you run like crazy
41k hp with 2500 dmg T rex can kill a lv 95 giga, iv done it.
If you want to tame without the dino gate trap method (specifically on the map The Island as that's where I tried it), make sure you know where all the waterfalls are. Then find a Giga and let it follow you to the waterfall. Make it fall down the water fall. You should be at the top of the waterfall and shoot narc arrows/whatever better option you have. Best to ride a flying creature with high stamina and health incase you get hit by it while you make the Giga follow you (it'll only follow when you land). Best waterfall to do this is the one next to the 2 snowy mountains, along that river up north/northwest ish, as it has both tall sides for it to get stuck in.
ARK SHOW THOUGHTS (part 2)
Realizing there’s about only 1 or 2 spawned Gigas on each map they spawn on
If you saw my previous tip on taming and knock out about how I just knocked out a giga, a few minutes after I knocked it out I went to harvest more raw meat for him to eat, when I came back I saw a pack of raptors killing my giga. I shot them all but when I finally got to the giga it was dead.
You can you metal billboards to tame instead of dino gateways saves you alot of metal, just make sure to set them in flat ground doing it on a hill will not work(:
>HOW TO TAME<
Firstly….. DONT
I’m a counsel player and me and two other of my friends are playing an unofficial sever where the rates are crazy and we are going to Ragnorok with a griffin I’ll be the one riding it and they are going to grapple onto the griffin and they will then shoot it with shocking tranq darts then we are going to cryo it and then we find another one and do the same thing until we have a really good breeding couple then we will level the baby up to max and hopefully rule the server
Use a stun gun much easier it knocks out after like 1,000,000,000 hits
if you are alibe use an ascendant crosbow is beter for solo taming a long neck is good if you tame whit 3 or 4 people
I can not find any of these on the island.
Has anyone else had this problem?
My stego somehow killed a level 3 giga I was trying to tame and now I can’t find another one
Me: Bored (cause I play mobile and leveling up is sooo hard)
Brain: how about taming a giga
Goes to my narco box (I have like 50 stacks of narcos in there) I grabbed a few stacks and some narco darts and left to find one when I found one I trapped it I recommend using a large bear trap and metal gates since I play on mobile I used a 10 times tame helper ( it took about forty minutes) then I realized that I had no way to get it back home there was no such thing as a cryopod so I started walking I wasn’t a high enough level to ride it to it took a long time when I finally got back t looked at it’s stats and it had 21% attack now it was a low level but really and I pump attack in to it and it doesn’t even go up I need to know if this is normal but if your gonna tame one go for a high level don’t do what I did

Hey guys This is a tip to prevent dying on giga
1.Dont get too close in to it cause he is a strong creature it can bite you on continous damage
2.Stop trapping the giga It can destroy your traps(I dont know if large bear trap works)
3.Dont go near other creature to prevent effects (including pulmono) even if you run away the giga is faster than any(i dont know raptor though)
4.If you use flying make sure you dont go too near on land(except when stuck) its ok to use tape or any flying creature that has 2 or more seats
Last.Giga are tall,cause its 3x bigger than rex so be careful
Bonus:Giga spawns at mountains to find one you need to set Hardcor Brutual thats only I can find though Up if its helps
Now If you encounter a giga,Don't try to shoot it meanwhile running because there are plenty of dangerous animals nearby it and the giga is way more faster and make sure you use a beartrap or else it will escape when making your giga trap,And also put your pet away or else it will get killed even if you put it to passive.Use Kibble or Raw meat with soothing balms, Narcotics if you have neither then just make narcotics in the mortar and pestle.
Big tip: when you are knocking the giga out, you will see that when you shot all the arrows it takes some time for him to be unconscious because of the tons of torpor that's still raising. I didn't know that while taming one and I had to go back to base and I had to take some more arrows while it was not necessary.
If you have god console: if you knock it out and then increase levels a lot ( which for some dinos work cuz it increase max food cap) for this one wont work that much. I did that with lvl 15 and i made him lvl 150, torpor made from 18k to 500k. Not good idea
Rememeber these things are gods at blending into cliffs 1 second a few rocks the next a giga and your little death bag
