Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a giganotosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a giganotosaurus.
If you have a tribe get all people to ride a Qwest and shoot it with trans arrows
Giga gives very low damage to metal structures, so using a metal gateway or billboard will be a great idea.
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.
5:if youre taming it with trank arrows you are gona need from 250 to 400.
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
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”
USE METAL DINOSAUR GATE because gigas can’t break metal structures
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! 😭
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 ;)
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!!
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
Get a snow owl or argy and make sure it has a decent amount of life. Find your Giga and get slightly out of range of it. Set up 4 metal behemoth gates in box formation, but leave the door off the 4th wall facing the Giga. Get on your snow owl and aggro him. You may need to be low for him to follow, so do expect 3-5 bites from it as you lead the Giga into the cage, but often you can do it damage free. Each bite ranges from 200-500 damage depending on lvl, so make sure you can survive the damage.
When you fly up against the back wall, let him bite once more so you know he’s in. Fly up, turn around quick and hotbar the last door in, but stay above him. Fly out and land on top of the gate post. Carefully dismount... I’ve had some funny falls into the cage, but now I use a tek suit and keep my bird far away. Unless the ground is raised/rocky below, he shouldn’t be able to chomp you either way. You may need to bring a few hundred tranqs for high lvl ones, but plug away at him as he runs corner to corner. Bring some spare crossbows or rifles. Have some kibble, or mutton handy (# depending on your server rates) and throw it in his inventory when he goes down. Gigaty gigaty goo!
How to tame a giga u ask? Ez get 4 metal gates place 3 of them in a box don't place the last one put 2 bear traps inside lead the giga to u make it stuck in a bear trap place the metal gate boom 💥 u trapped it and then knock it out put 200 narcotics put some quetzal kibbles boom again u have a giga
Easiest way to knock them out is with a Tapejara and a friend. One flies, one shoots tranq darts out of a longneck rifle. Bring way more darts then dododex says, bring kibble and at least 400-500 Narcotics no matter the level.
Naa me not tame giga. today me go tame giga with 150 tranq aroow- a normal person who's English is very dengerous.
