Once you get giga eggs and everyone tells you how much the Gigas eat when growing up don’t listen to them. I play completely solo on official 1x and can raise these things with a Maewing and a tek trough. 1 giga eats about 1 to 1.5 tek troughs every 24 hours. So if you have 2 or 3 tek troughs of raw meat and it’s a juvenile or above you can step away from ark and GO OUTSIDE AND GET FRESH AIR. Also a maewing filled with cooked meat can last a giga through the whole baby stage without the meat spoiling before baby stage ends. So a recap is baby stage use maewing with slot cap of cool meat and then use raw meat in a few tek troughs. Easy raise. I do this solo on official 1x

If you are taking a giga DO NOT pick up your trap until it is tamed.

This is one of very few dinosaurs we like to call an inverted torpor dinosaur. By this we mean that it's torpor goes down faster than it goes up, you will wait longer for it to go up than down thats why you should let the torpor drop really low then pump it with a large quantity all in one go, this will give you the time to let it tick up allowing you to do other things while you wait.

Don’t try the old torch incubation on this on you will have nothing after trying to make them

If you have a tribe get all people to ride a Qwest and shoot it with trans arrows

For people who want a giga: Gigas require hundreds of tranqs so be prepared!(You also need a trap.) And remember a giga can 1 tap you so be careful,unless your experienced.

Giga gives very low damage to metal structures, so using a metal gateway or billboard will be a great idea.

You can use stone behemoth gateways as I did you will tame it when it gets half way from breaking the gateway I recommend stone as the metal will be a waste of metal

Taming (5x) to a LV145 will required roughly 460 Shocking Tranquilizer Darts and about 150 Narcotics. I guess the app is not accurate at all. So good luck to tame one of those...you need it ;)

If you want an easy way to take a giga… All you need is 3 Metal Billboards! (For mobile) Run up to it and wrap the billboards around the Gigantosaurus! Then knock it out! Giant bear traps are plenty useful to keep them still! The Billboards are too small for the giga to attack so it’s a win win!

Overall Materials:

4x Giant Metal Billboards

1x-2x Giant Beartraps

A lot of tranqs!

200x Jellyfish Toxins or whatever it’s called..

And all the meat you got!

If you want the other tip. It’s the name “Big Bertha”

Make a trap shaped like this (spaced out) _

Then place two large bear traps (or more) | |

Then lead giga into trap, then quickly place| |

The last Metal (has to be metal) gateway and boom its trapped! Also gigas are most commonly found by mountains! Hope this helped!

I tamed a 450 giga on fars peak! Took 500+ tranq arrows with a 469% crossbow in 2 hrs. Super worth it! I had to reset my save 3 times bc I accidentally killed it. It one shot my griffin with 5k hp!!! Pray for my Dorcermu! 😭

USE METAL DINOSAUR GATE because gigas can’t break metal structures

You can humiliate/tame any giga with a sinomacrops(Lost Island) which has at least 2500+ stamina.

To tame u need 5 metal doors, 2 large bear traps. It breaks threw stone so dont be cheap! Also it's fav food is not prime meat it's raw mutton. The wild gigas have more hp then a tamed, also they have a gnash attack like a ravager. For a high level u will Need about 800 narc arrows, 200 narcotics just to be safe.

If you're using primitive weapons bring a few!!

5:if youre taming it with trank arrows you are gona need from 250 to 400.

4 metal gateways.

1-2 large bear trap.

Tranq arrow, lots of tranq arrows, a little more than what you decided.

Few narcotics or biotoxin,few more, I mean take free more, feeling encumbered.... You are ready.

Patience... Take a deep breathe level of patience...

Soothing balm or a decade of your life.

Prime meat or quetzal kibble(mobile).

You heard wolf? Kill em.

Congrats you get a giga.

Giga died of hunger...

Guys I used a quetzal with a platform saddle on and it worked a dream!! It only took 10 minutes to get the guy down but I also had a tribemate shooting shocking tranq darts too

use narcoberries not narcotics when taming as the torpor stacks better over a longer period. also when knocking out be sure to bola your tribe mate first
