What are tips for giganotosaurus? Tips and strategies for giganotosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
So here's a (untested, just hypothysising here) raid strat:
Tame giga: any lvl works
Hop on giga WITH NOTHING THATS IMPORTANT
Bring giga into enemy base
Fight to rage or death, rage preferably
Once rage let it, well, RAGE, don't send anything in
I it dies, either send more throw aways, or rinse and repeat
If it doesn't, you win!
To the person who is trying to tame with arrows, i really wish you luck and if you have already tried plz post how it went because I will be attempting to do the same!
I went to the Argy mountain and saw a giga first I thought that’s a Rex but that was huge then I got into it with my Pteranodon and boom in one bite my Pteranodon’s health became almost zero and it dismounted me and both died… 2nd attempt to get back my belongings back I was there at the exact spot and giga was far away I took all the stuff and boom that ran towards me I mounted on my 2nd pteranodon and boom same thing happened again ☹️ RIP Papadon and betadon
Use compound bow if you have one
but get abt 1000 narcotics or it will wake up it takes no meat but it takes years to eat the meat
Tranquilizer arrows
Punch 1 time and it's knocked out and wait 1 minute if it's up its tamed don't feed food because it won't expect it
Killed 2gigas with ease with a normal shotgun on my griffin(note griffin had 10k health and once he got to nearly 2k)
Run to bace as fast as you can or try to kill it
Heads up they can't swim I let it to the water and I noticed it started sinking and trying to go back so I pissed it off and had it go out further and then about 2 minutes later I level 46 giga died
IF YOU SEE THIS DINO YOUR DEFINITION WILL DIE
I JUST TAMED MY FIRST GIGA LESS GO BABY
Managmars are very good because of their fast change in direction for luring them into a trap. The easiest and one of the cheapest is 4 metal Gate frames and 1 Large bear trap. Also don’t try to tame them in the open they will just get away and you will lose all the torpor you did. Also bring lots of narcotics they’re torpor drops insanely fast. Finally be careful where you trap them and destroy the metal gates after it’s knocked out or Corrupted Dino’s will come to destroy them leading to lower taming efficiency.
If you feel like taming one, first you must know that it’s not as hard as it seems, it just takes quite a few resources. First you gotta find the one you want to tame and look for smooth terrain and place three metal billboards in shape of a cross and a giant bear trap inside, afterwards lure the giga in and once it’s stuck in the trap, finish the square with one final metal billboard so it’s trapped, knock it out and feed it prime meat or raw mutton if you have it
There are different gigas you can’t breed an “R giga” with a normal one “R gigas” have more bonuses
Honestly, I would just tame a charcharodontosaurus. Gigas are hard to tame, and a low level giga after taming it has crappy stats. It also has no special attacks! All it has is a roar that does nothing and a chomp that does practically nothing. On the other hand, the charchar has a blood rage effect that boosts healing and damage, And a blood frenzy that increases speed. It also has a tail spin and roar that speeds up nearby tames. And it’s relatively easy to tame too. So I would just tame a charchar instead of wasting all those tranq arrows and darts on a giga.
