The giga's torpor will be going down insanely fast, I tried to tame one with a crossbow with 100+ tranq arrows, when I come up to it with a magnifying glass the torpor was 0 .
A carcharo with 100 stacks and 250% melee can take one down but you'll be left at less than half health but if its 300% you'll be left at more than half
If you're low on metals or want a trap that doesn't cost too much then use metal billboards. They work the same as metal gates and basically just cheaper. Be sure to use large bear traps tho.
HELP IM BEING CHASED BY ONE AND I BARELY HAVE STAMINA LEFT I DONR WANNA LOSE MY LEVEL 241 QUETZ I JUST WANTED POLYMER
Ok so while trapping one can be effective, it's not technically necessary. If you stand on a ledge on a mountain that's too steep for it, it'll just stand there looking into your eyes and longing to feast upon your flesh as you make it go sleepy
Just don’t
Really hard and dangerous just beat the game at that point
Um. . . . Where did my base go.
Everything you need to know about the Giga
1. Taming. I suggest getting a flying mount with good stamina (argy) and using metal buildings to trap it. Then just shoot it
2. Tamed. When the Giga is tamed it loses around 65k hp. And loses a lot of attack. The giga has a bad turn radius thanks to its massive size but makes up for it in brute strength and power.
3. Rage. When a tamed giga loses a lot of hp in little time it will turn into a rage mode which is noticeable by glowing eyes. When in rage mode it will kick you off the saddle if your on it and kill you and your tames.

These gigachads spawn near the mountains. On Survival Evolved, if you lure them near big stone mountains they get stuck in between large rocks. Use this to your advantage.

Use atleast 4 metal dinosaur gateways (i would suggest 5-6 just in case) place 3 in a formation where the giga can walk in and you can place the last one behind it while it is stuck in a bear trap that u can place in the middle of it.
RUN
One killed Rhyhorn… I had him for years…The mountain in the mountains trio that’s where you’ll find the scaly bustard. (Bustard is a type of bird) Please kill it for Rhyhorn RIP. If attempting to kill it, Godspeed and may you have the power of a god. SEND HIM TO HELL. If you fail… May your soul be led to Valhalla…🫡For me Rhyhorn, ginger, bubbles, and halo. (My lost pets.) and remember. Wakanda forever.
I have 8 of these beauties! 6 females and 2 males, about 4 of those I two man tamed with a buddy. The rest all 6 tribe members were there. If you don't feel like gathering the materials for a trap. (We've only trapped one of these out of the 8) Get a quetzal with a platform saddle and have one person fly and the other shooting with tranq arrows or tranq darts constantly because there torpor goes down quick. It's not super hard. We've even tamed one underwater LOL. Good luck! Be warned you can lose your quetzals or any other tamed animals if you aren't careful! We've lost about 5 quetzal's and a rex in the process of just one giga. When you knock it down stay on it. Shoot 100 narcotics in it once it hits the 50-75% mark on its torpor. People who don't watch it's torpor or keep pumping narcotics into it when it starts dropping are the ones that deal with the "the giga will wake up on full torpor" myth. It's unlikely it will if you know what you're doing. Take my advice! Happy taming!
Quick tip for beginners if you can take one of these out you can most likely take out a gamma brood mother.
Search YouTube for ‘Captain Fatdog Giga Trap’. It costs the fraction of the materials of a typical gate trap and is way less risky. Just a few metal pillars is all you need. Fatdog traps are the way to go!
Run or die. When he sees you its to late.
Run Just Run but you would still die but don't run to you're base and pray because not even a Hispanic mother could save you from it.
