Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a giganotosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a giganotosaurus.
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
Just bring 4 - 6 metal dino gateways, 400 narcodics(or a bunch of bio toxin if you have it), a lot of tranq darts and an ascendant rifle, 15 - 25 kibble, and 1 or 2 bear traps. Set the metal gates like this \_/ and put a bear trap in the center. Get it stuck in the bear trap and very quickly close off the trap but dont put the back metal gateway too close to it or it will squeeze out. Many people make that mistake. And once you trap it just tranq the thing out. Then pump a lot of narcodics into it and make sure to not accidentally force feed kibble into it. Then BOOM. You have a tame giga. For those who are doing this and have never owned a giga I have 2 things i advise.
1. DO NOT PUMP ANYTHING UNLESS ITS MELEE
2. DO NOT FIGHT A WILD GIGA WITH YOUR TAMED ONE. Its just free dinner for the wild one.
An easy trap to make is 2 metal gates that look like <. Add a large bear trap in the middle so it will attack the bear trap and not you. Then add a 3rd wall to make a triangle. Make sure you have 20000 narcotics and a flyer.
This is for all the mobile players who want a monster! So you need 4 stone gateways and 3 baretraps or one. Get it to chase you make sure you have a box with the way the giga gets in open. You run and let it chase you until you go through. It be trap and run behind it and fill box him like Fortnite. Then knock him out WARNING: you need ALOT of tranqs. Then idk if this always happen but have one 10x palm and one prime meat WARNING: this is how I tamed it then bam! Youre now crying in happiness! Hopefully..,
I was lucky when I tamed this beast. I was on a cliff were I was out of range of it's jaws. Lucky moment #1. It took me over 200 toxicant arrows. Luckily, I had 10x soothing balm and all it took was 1 prime meat. It was an instant tame and I even thought it woke up and shot it with an arrow. I took it to my new base but I had no tames in the area. I fell of a cliff and it went into rage, but did not even target me. Lucky moment #2. Also, I noticed that in mobile, I only find them in the snow area on the smaller mountain, north of the blue oblisk, and nowhere else.
Lol, I was trying to tame one when another player came in with an argy, hit it, got its attention and flew off with the giga following close behind. Careful of others on pvp servers!!!
My raptor is like my biological father now d e a d
Lvl 215 Giga will take 250-300 Tranq darts out of blue rifles stay on high ground!!
Give him a hug!! He’s super cuddly!!! 😁🤗
I had to 3x the amount for narcotics
Hi I’m gonna show you how to tame a Giga first get some metal gates recommended 4-5 then make this shape with them \_/ then get a bear trap to to make it stay still make sure to place it closest to the gate but not under it so it can get trapped but not hit you then get it to aggro you (using a flyer or gun if using a gun stand behind the trap so it can walk right in) then tranq it darts recommended (used with a longneck) takes a lot of tranqs bring at least 500 then when it’s down get about 300 narcotics or 160 bio toxin then put mutton prime or kibble in and keep in eye on it and feed it narcotics when it’s torpor is low and you’ll have a tamed Giga hope this helped ps clear out the area for wild predators and make sure you build the trap on flat ground thank you ☺️☺️☺️
Tribe mates and I are breeding gigas for our server, I'm in the red wood taming a snail and out of nowhere a member screams "triplets, triplets, triplets!" We got a damn triplet and we only wanted 1
if you see a giga on Ragnarok at NE place some gates at the crack there that it can't run out at one side and block the other side only to the point that you only need to place another gate when the giga is insade so it can,t get out it might take some matirials but its pretty save and easy Better only go there with the gates when you try tu lure it in and place some sleepers for the case that you fail.
How to tame a Giga the "Expensive" way in Mobile (honestly a good idea, Idk on your idea)
Now, before you do Step 2, Make sure you have it's favorite kibble or the process will take longer, and if it DID took longer, pray to God that you have your Bio toxins with you, don't forget to bring A LOT of Tranq Darts and your Long Neck Rifle
Step 1: Tame a Quetzal using a Tapejara
Step 2: Use your Quetzal to Find a Giga (Quetzals are the reason why you encounter Gigas, also, Gigas mostly spawn in the Snow Mountains)
Step 3: Once you found the Giga of your desire, lead it into the ocean
Step 4: GET THE IMPLANT AS FAST AS YOU CAN!!!
Step 5: Once you got the implant, get back to your base and use your Tapejara, after that, go to the Green Obelisk and revive it there
Step 6: now that it's being revived, GET THE HAIL OUTTA THERE!!!
Step 7: Once it got revived, SHOOT IT!!! (Fyi, The Green Obelisk acts like your average Giga Trap)
Step 8: Now that's it's Knocked out, Shove those kibbles inside it's throat
Step 9: *You've Tamed a Giganotosaurus* Yay, No more 80k HP :D
Step 10: Don't Worry, You can hunt Rexes, Spinos, Paracers, Brontos and Alphas for Exp and use those to pump up it's HP (or Melee, Idk)
I hope this helps and worth the Amber :D
You will need multiple longneck rifles they will break on you and probably get over 200 tranqs and a lot of narcotic like hundreds to keep it down
Since i tamed giga here is how i trap giga on (MOBILES)
first is i brought quetzal but i really think i must brought argy instead of quetzal that’s my think i only use metal billboards
1st i craft alot of trand arrows more than 300 in case if you got miss and a 10x soothing balm if you don’t have it complete the in the south western so you will get the Africa and if you go to obelisk go to the middle of it and go near the tribute when near to it tribute your africa to get 10x soothing balm
2nd found a giga they can be found at the top of mountains
3rd when you found a giga since they won’t attack you when you riding some creature on mobile but idk about pc and console if they attack or not
4th trap giga with metal billboards must riding some creature make sure no around to giga or giga will attack the creature that is near to him so don’t trap it fast just check your around if there is no near creatures if they are near let the giga kill them
5th since no more nearby creatures trap giga with metal billboards while riding some creature if your riding flying creatures you can’t place it but if you zoom it you can place it
6th place all metal billboards around the giga like square or rectangle don’t worry they won’t run to your trap early they are going to damage your metal billboards when you attack them but don’t worry gigas can’t damage metals
7th while the giga is trap shoot it with trand arrows don’t shoot it early or late shoot it every 3-5 seconds bc it has a extremely high draining of its torpor i recommend you must have prime meat already and biotoxins
8th if it is torpored feed it with prime meat make sure to look at it’s torpor bc it drains super fasty duper so if it is about to wake up feed it with biotoxins the torpor will increase slowly and the torpor will stop draining in a few seconds bc you feed bio toxins to giga so it has that the bio toxins has 80 torpors so it will increase giga’s torpor to 80
lvl 1 giga has a lot of torpor it has 10000 torpors male gigas has a rage bar which thing helps him to increase his damage and others
9th you have a giga be careful it will get weakness like the health is decreasing and damage some place that can trap your giga forever so be careful when walking most dangerous place for giga is snow area cause the snow area has a trap place in giga
enjoy your new friend! :) hope you get saddle for your giga in lvl 96 to unlock saddle for giga
4th
It’s time for the biggest boy.
How to tame a Giganotosaurus:
1. Prepare, stupid
You’re gonna need..
4 metal dinosaur gates(NOT behemoth)
A lot of tranq darts, shocking or not
A couple of longnecks
Bring mountains of Narcotics/Bio Toxin, this things torpor drops faster than my dad leaving
A fast tame you’re willing to sacrifice if it comes to that, Gallimimus or Equus is good
A large bear trap
2. Find a good giga, they’re found on mountains, grasslands and in the desert on Crystal Isles. In Valguero, they’re in the arctic as well.
3. Make a trap, put the gates in a square pattern, but don’t place the fourth side. place a LARGE bear trap in the middle then lure the giga into the bear trap, then place the final wall. boom it’s trapped
4. Shoot at the Giga with your rifle, it prefers meat ofc, so raw mutton or prime. Constantly check it’s torpor too.
5. You have a Giga now! Now go read a book

P.S. Mr. Man is coming for my family
An ascendant longneck (around 400% to 600% is good), shocking tranquilizer darts and a creature which can fly and you can shoot of the back of it will make giga taming extremely easy.
Like so more people will see
If you don’t want to trap one, simply grapple onto its tail or back it can’t attack you then.
