Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a giganotosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a giganotosaurus.
If you want to tame this creature be FULLY PREPARED. Go with some tribe members and it'll be very tough but if you manage to tame it and not die you will have one of the most op dinos on the server. Good f****** luck
Trap it, shoot it until it begins to run, use a high melee mantis to left, right, goodnight it. Very fun.
Guys is it a glitch? I tame a giga and the melee is only 20% but when it's in the wild it almost 3shot my dire bear that have around 10k HP
If you play ark mobile I recommend a tapejara and 1-3 bear traps and min 4 metal Dino gateways 1 needs 170 metal ingots build your trap and lure in make sure you aren’t too close then fly directly up now you got it trapped and now you wait for a few days and come back then you better start taming the food would have dropped lol you just feed it some and now you have a killer machine
These guys lose torpor so quickly so have loads of spare narcotics depending on your settings
Trap is using four metal gateways and shocking tranks work best to knock it our fast
Build a trap using 4 Metal Gateways and 1-2 Large Bear Traps. Get it in position but make sure the Gateways are spaced out just a tad bit, finish it by placing the bear traps in the middle of the three gateways and lire the Giga in. Once they’re in the bear trap, place the final gate behind them so they can’t get out. Now, tranq them til they’re out cold. Make sure to have an absurd amount of Narcotics for this, Bio Toxins work best. If you’re on Mobile, use a 10x Soothing Balm and Quetzal Kibble, if on PC use Superior Kibble.
Ok everyone you will find these BEASTS in the two mountains near carno island!
Hope this helps!
I’ve tamed many Giga’s. The trick to being able to do other thing while taming one is when torpor is going up. It takes a lot longer for the torp to go up then down. Ex. Torp drains in 3mins, but when you give narcs it take 20-25 mins to fill(JUST AN EXAMPLE!!!!) so that’s when you can leave an do other things. Nothing bothers a sleeping giga! Your welcome!
It’s pretty easy just lure one into a trap with 4 behemoth metal gateways and gates then tranq it and tame.
Ps: it will take hundreds of biotioxin at least
Taming a giga requires a lot more than just a few narcotics. The dodex said I would only need twenty narcotics, and I shoved at least 2k down its throat, and it still woke up.
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
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
Hey sooo I’m a normal mobile player I can only have 40 creatures..... what is the best creatures to bring for the battle -scary equus
If you trap it with a large bear trap, it will stay trapped for about 10 seconds. Use those 10 seconds to tranq it with freinds. When it is tranqed, feed it meat, but when it's torpor drain gets low (which it will), don't shoot it or punch it or anything. Put narcrotics in its inventory and use right tab on Xbox one (there will be a button on mobile), and its unconscious bar will start gaining for a while, and it's health will go up a little, so when you tame it it still has high health, if not damage (it loses damage% when it is tamed)
Go somewhere high where it can’t get you and shoot it
