I didn’t know what category to put this in, but since it has to do with the giga raging, I’ll put it in encountering.
A TAMED GIGA WILL STILL RAGE ON YOU IN MOBILE.
I just tested it by jumping off a cliff, because I wanted to see what happened when it raged.😭 it kicked me off and chased me, so led it to a trio of brontos, which it killed immediately and then it proceeded to rid the land of all the other wildlife. I went up high until she stopped throwing her tantrum and went back to my base.
Also, those glowing eyes are freaky. I hope this helped.
The difference between this and a Deathworm. A Deathworm will F you, a Giga will F you and your mom.
Here’s what you need. Not too heavy resources needed.
5-6 metal gateways
200+ tranq arrows (Ascendant crossbow)
Babies in cryopod for prime meat
3-4 large bear traps
Lots of Biotoxin
Lure the giga to the trap with a flier and make sure it gets stuck. Then you wanna place the final gateways behind it to trap it. It might seem way too large for the regular Dinogates but it can’t get out. After you knock it out, you can uncryo the babies, unclaim them and have your flier kill it for prime. Should be smooth sailing from there!
I tried trapping mine with less than 5 gates and it decided to drown itself. I recommend kiting the giga away from the water since it’s too stupid to realize it’s gonna drown while it’s asleep. Lesson learnt. At the price of my sanity and time at 4 am. 💀
R.I.P. base and tames.
When taming a Giga it's torpor drops in 2min so wait til it's torpor is at about 4,000 then pump a several hundred Narcotics all at once. 100 Narc = 4,000 torpor. It takes longer for the torpor to rise than it does to drop. Took mine 30min to go from 4,000 torpor back to max.
You can’t do anything, just pray that you suffer a quick death
Both Gigas and Carchs can easily be drowned if they encroach too close to your base. Very little stam so oxygen goes quick, doable with PT but personally find it easier using throwaway raft to hold aggro.
Here is a pearl of wisdom that I wish I was given when I tamed a giga:
Don't use three metal dino-gates, use four!
You make a U shape with three and put a large bear trap in the middle.
You then lure the giga onto the bear trap and place the final Dino-gate behind it to trap it.
Everyone says that you can use three metal Dino-gates but you really want to use four when you are being chased by the most terrifying creature on the island.
You should definitely poke it.
For the person who asked, while there are no exact coordinates, you are sure to find one of these standing on the side of a large mountain. Both Fars Peak, the volcano and any of the other high places, you should find a Giga somewhere. Hope you find one, I wish you luck!

The numbers they give you are way off. If it says 500 dart's take 1000 or 1500 just to be sure.
On mobile i found one near griffin mountain
