How ARK players tame and knock out the Giganotosaurus: what to feed it, what to knock it out with, and how to keep it safe.

For taming, you can use 4 metal dino gateframes and 2 large metal bear traps. Bring 500 narcotics and make sure you have spikes to stop any accidents. Ragnarok is best for finding high level gigas and there are 3 spawns, The Highlands, The Deathsands and by green obelisk. Happy…

I accidentally waited a .000001 second too long and ran out of arrows

😭😭😭😭 it ate my lighting Wyvern as well . RIP Zap. Do not make this mistake.

use your flying pet if you don't have a material to craft a metal gate, or go to underwater and Tame it (note: no hostile water creatures near you)

Honestly, the hardest part of taming a giga is keeping up with the torpor and prime meat. knocking out was easy if you got a really good crossbow (400%+ damage).

SAFEST way to tame in Mobile:

1. Get a tame from a cave, scorpion/araneo etc. It'll have stealth, you can safely walk along a wild Giga.

2. Get what you need to make your trap. You may place around the Giga, do as you wish, just NOT dismount if Giga isn't…

to tame these, use three metal dino gates in a \_/ formation

put 1 or 2 large bear traps inside of the gates, and lure the giga into the trap. once it’s inside of the trap, put 1 or 2 gates on the other side. personally, i do 2 because its safer. after that, it’s trapped…

On Ragnarok map in the Highlands by the Red Obelisk there is a river flowing down from the volcano area to the ocean. Just before it gets to the ocean there is an old stone bridge that is part of the map and cannot be destroyed. It is the perfect dimensions to place a metal…

If you are trying to tame this solo, it's best to lure one to a natural rock formation and near a cliff so if it tries to run it won't be able to run up the cliff and if you want to block it even more you can put some Dino gates down and knock it out but be careful…

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.

Three ways of how to tame it based on risk:

1. Get a grappling hook, an argy that is a good 3k and lots of stam aswell as darts/arrows

Instructions

Grapple onto the argy after you are into a place where the giga cannot bite you and start shooting. When it starts to run…

I have a 100% imprinted Giga, 4 hours wasted or put to good use…

But anyway, imprinted Giga are awesome, each imprint gives your Giga ( or at least mine ) About 1000 health each time you imprint it as well as plus 1% melee dmg.

One fully imprinted I’m walking around…

How to tame an oversized Rex:

1-Tame a Raptor and mount it

2-Get a large amount of narcotics/bio toxins

3-Find a Giga (mostly found in mountains)

3-Sneak around its legs and put metal gateways, you can also put a large trap for it not to easily escape

4-Knock out by using…

You can tame these with eqqus if you pump mellow into them I just did it.

12 metal foundations

56 metal double doors

24 metal ramps.

you now have a perma giga trap to lure them into.

build it in giga spawning zones.

you'll need a few gigas if you want to breed the best.

Reply to the person that said they needed 13 darts with their master craft rifle: Don’t trust Dododex. Bring at least 200 darts for a level 30. Took 90 darts for a level 18.
