Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a giganotosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a giganotosaurus.
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.

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.

Take a crossbow with some grabs hooks and then you hook. Hook yourself up to its ass and knock it down
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
Choppy is what you should name it. Make sure do you have an ascendant longneck with at least 400 darts
If you think a giga is cool, wait till you see the r variant.
Trap it, shoot it until it begins to run, use a high melee mantis to left, right, goodnight it. Very fun.
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!

Tame a good tapejara get a buddy have like 200 arrows or tranq darts give tapejara good stam find giga light ot up and dont die
Easy tame just bola and slingshot
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
If you are using the Darts your going to need hundreds of them and maybe 10 longnecks
Here's one of the best tricks in ARK MOBILE : If you sleep (with a bed or a sleeping bag), ALL the dinos in your render food bar will be set to 0 (when you make them unconscious, you can see that). After the taming process, the food bar will return to full again (no matter how much taming food you gave the dino). Typed this here because giga is so popular.
Thanks for reading.
If you're character is slow on running and wants to tame a gigs while trapping it. I recommend to use a speedy tame like a gallimimus or a pterodactyl so that you will not die while attempting to trap it.
I was looking for an alpha rex and guess what? i found a high level giganotosaurus…… SHOULD I TAME IT?!?! Gosh its torpor is higher than its health
Look at what you need to tame it at level 9999. Also, look how long it takes.
