Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a giganotosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a giganotosaurus.
A good way or my way of taming a giga
First, get a ascendant Longneck.
Second, get some tranquilizer darts.
Third, get 4 metal gates to trap the giga and some bear
traps.
Fourth use soothing balm if your on mobile.
Fifth, use an argy to find one ( they usually spawn up in the mountains or on flat surfaces in the mountains
Sixth, use prime meat, Queztal kibble ( on mobile ) or, regular meat.
And abracadabra you have your self a giga Goodluck on trying this method.
Take a crossbow with some grabs hooks and then you hook. Hook yourself up to its ass and knock it down
Honestly I was so scared taming my first one yesterday and all you need is a good long neck rifle I used a mastercraft 190%, I used raw mutton in a preserving bin and carried about 700 narcotics but only feed him like 400. Easy giga tame
A lvl 68 with roughly 54k torpor need around 300+ tranq arrows from 179% mastercraft crossbow.
P.S : if you make a trap using metal dinosaur gate whether
it's |__| shape or \__/ shape, always give some distance between the placement of the gate or there will be a chance that the giga will glitch and just climb over the gate.

Choppy is what you should name it. Make sure do you have an ascendant longneck with at least 400 darts
USE SHOCKING TRANQ DARTS!!!!! It will take a while so be prepared to run out of darts.
Once knocked out, a simple trick is to wait for it to drop to about 1000 torpor and then spam bio toxin in its inventory. This way you can tame up to a level 36 with raw meat
Up so first time tamers can see
Hello everyone! Mobile ark player here, I’ll recommend using metal gates of the largest size and getting at least three of them and once you lure a gigs with your tame you will set up the gates around the giga and then put up two metal gate doors at both ends then use a compound bow with Toxicant arrows (I’d recommend around 600-1000 of them) and shoot at the giga from a lil bit away and make sure not to be riding you dino while your doing so. Once the giga is knocked out get raw prime meat and store it in a refrigerator before you place a bed down and sleep to get the giga’s hunger down and save the meat. And then once you but the meat in the giga’s inventory it will most likely instantly tame.

If you’re hatching an egg make sure you are nowhere near the swamp or the desert or you will end up with a dilophosaurus stick

Tamed an R-Giga today, Got me nearly 10 times before i knocked him out safe to say ill never to it again😃
HOW TO TAME 101
1) Find a Giga. Usually in tundra mountains or around the Volcano.
2) PREPARE. The giga won't attack you if you're mounted, but keep a distance! They are fast, high topor and deadly DMG. Get alot of narcotics (jelly are super good since their HP is extremely high), get soothing balm and kibble to speed up the process too. Get a trap (4 metal dino gates or food if you don't have kibble).
3) Persue this sussy Giga! Bring a Quetzal or a Argy for flying transport and a Baryonyx or something similar to use. Land in a safe spot and eliminate any nearby creatures. IF another Giga is nearby, separate the one you want to tame.
4) Trap the giga! Use the Quetzal (or other) and land in a good spot, then ride on your chosen runner. Time this carefully! I suggest saving progress so if you mess up you can start over safely. Once the giga is standing still, QUICKLY trap em with the gates and run to a safe distance.
5) TAME IT! Once in a safe spot, fire the arrows (crossbow highly suggested, bring multiple in case!) and don't stop till its unconscious. Approach, use your chosen food (use kibble or soothing balm) and give it alot of narcotics since the topor drops DEADLY FAST!
Congrats! You've successfully tamed the Giga the Basic 101 way! (ur epic now) Be warned HP and DMG drops, and lvls kinda suck, but still fun to use! Be careful wirh breeding tho...
BE WARNED: If a giga takes DMG, the attack increases. Be careful when pursuing a giga to kill!

When taming I like to use a rineognatha because you can use weapons on it
All I’m going to say is if you are using a crossbow is bring a spare cross in inventory and pack hundreds of tranqs I had to re-trap and shoot five times because I would run out of arrows or my crossbow would break, save yourself the trouble and prepare. If you have a mid check the narcotics.
I sent All frogs I had 100 then I had 1 frog left this was a 155 giga
Idiots just grapple on a cliff and parachute then shoot 20000 traq arrow if it don’t work it’s pissed so just give up
Trap it, shoot it until it begins to run, use a high melee mantis to left, right, goodnight it. Very fun.
I TAMED A LVL 145 WITH TRANQ ARROWS AND A MASTERCRAFT CROSSBOW, IT IS PERFECTLY POSIBLE, took me ages and like 520 shots but you can do it if you don’t want to waste a lot of resources, also I used like 200 bio toxin and some raw mutton, good luck people!
Look on ragnorok in highlands theres a lot of mutton there so no need for kibble
60 tranq darts bullshit went through 2 stacks and still didn't go down, it was only level 90 and I had a 483.6% long neck
Easy tame just bola and slingshot
