What are tips for giganotosaurus? Tips and strategies for giganotosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
If you can’t find any gigas then look at the mountain in the north east where the griffins are I found 2 there. I play on mobile though so I don’t know if gigas spawn there on pc or console.
This becomes super easy to tame when trapped in an Omni directional trap just don’t get too close also if you need to you can simply look up how to make an effective trap on YouTube.
Prepare for a fight if planning to tame with no kibble I suggest bring a tamed Ovis or two in a cryopod from there place 3 metal Dino gates in the form of a u and place a large bear trap in the middle once Giga is trapped in the bear trap go around and quickly place a fourth metal Dino gate form there shoot it with your preferred tranq method enjoy
Use a Rock Drake and hang on a wall to knock it out.
All you need to do is is make a half a hexagon with metal dinosaur gateways with a bear trap in the middle of it and then once it gets trapped put 2 gateways behind it. Once you’ve done that just stay a safe enough distance away and shoot it until it’s knocked out. Make sure you have a sleeping bag close but not to close to it in case you die. Make sure you have plenty of narcotics/bio toxin and keep it knocked out. The more people you have to knock it out the better. It’s best to use shocking tranquilizers darts but if you aren’t a high enough level you can use normal tranq darts. If your doing a solo tame make sure you have multiple rifles because they will break and your constantly shooting it. It’s torpor drains drastically and if you wait a few second before shooting all of its torpor will be gone
Try to form a sixty degree angle with two metal Dino gateways and a bear trap in the middle. Attack the giga once with an argie with high health and lure it over the trap. Then quickly get off and close the gap. And boom you’ve trapped a giga.
Just tamed one of these and honestly I'm kinda disappointed. I'm probably more disappointed because the giga I just tamed was a lvl 12 so yk that kinda explains it but anyways as some of yall heard they get nerfed after being tamed. The nerf was worse than I thought, literally. A wild giga would have 80k+ depending on it level and after being tamed it goes down to 17k+ which is less than 25% which isn't bad that part is still good but the other stats, not so much. A tamed giga would maybe have around 400-600 stamina depending on its lvl and for me each point(for stamina) ONLY adds 4 stamina and for damage I put 10 levels into it and only got 5%(keep in mind its for a lvl 12 giga it may give a bit more if it's higher level) and so on you get the point, don't waste your time on a low level and go after a giga that's a level 150+. -V
For any mobile players planning on taming one, use a x10 or x15 taming balm. You’ll thank me later.
Had a level 2 one knocked out. It took, with a x10 balm, 2 cooked prime meat to tame.
I had a default rex, thinking I could outrun a high levelled giga um… I don’t have a rex anymore :,)
NEVER AND I MEAN NEVER make a large base near mountains especially volcano and mountain on top right of the map gigas would spawn there more commonly so don't have large vases there if u do don't say I didn't warn you.
In ragnarok in the highlands there are fingers sticking out of the ground in the middle there is a trench use a flyer to lure the giga into the trench then one person goes in one side the other group goes on the opposite side, don’t fall in and shoot away until it gets knocked.
If it comes out one of the ends fly on top of one of the fingers then lure it back into the trench but only move if it is actually out of the trench. There are Ovis near the trench use mutton
What u need to tame giga:
1. Griffin or royal griffin on mobile
2. Long neck rifle(shocking darts) and cross bow (toxiana just in case ur rifle broke)
3. Meat or prime meat,
What u need to do:
1. Fly to giga
2. Shoot shocking darts at giga on griffin cuz u can
3. Repeat till knocked out or if ur long neck broke
4. If long neck broke, use cross bow with toxiana ammo
5. Once knocked out, feed it prime or raw, prime does about 15%, while raw does about 5%
6. Tame
Me Vibing at the blue obelisk then I see this thing...
If you want them to run unless you want to lose all your dinos
Saw one on a mountain by my house and I’m still shaking hours later. R.I.P. my iguanadon😢 we had many adventures and close calls together
