Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a giganotosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a giganotosaurus.
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 because it has a big bite rage
If you are on mobile ane playing Easy difficulty... Just waste time on him its not worth it... Wild Giga can one bite and kill your dino but once you tame him (which is way difficult because of his fastest torpor drain) he even fail to kill a Patchy or Dodo in one bite 😭 I am on lvl 75 and made saddle using expensive resources... This dino is sh!t once tamed ❌
How to tame on mobile:
You need: 1 Stone Behemoth Gate set, Ascendant Rifle or Crossbow, some tranq ammo, Soothing balm, 50 Bio Toxin, Quetzal Kibble (2 just in case)
1. Go on your argy and find a Giga near the BLUE Obelisk.
2. Lure it to one of the big rocks in the Obelisk. (This will act as the other Behemoth Gateway.)
3. DO NOT UNMOUNT!!! Once the Giga is in the rock, place the Behemoth Gateway and Gate.
4. Sleep. (Optional)
5. Shoot it with your tranq ammo. (Shoot every 3-5 seconds!)
6. Apply Soothing Balm.
7. Feed Bio Toxin and Kibble.
8. Congrats! You tamed a Giga!
Up if this helped, this is my first guide on how to tame a Giga.
You tame it by running into its mouth with a tranq darts 0 out of 10 would not recommend
Giga's torpor is over cap wouldn't recommend taming as a first tame. -Syntac
If your not using trap stand on a quetzal and shoot off of it while in the air. And bring at least 1000 darts or arrows cause the b***s gonna run around like a rabid mutt""
How to trap a giga first craft 4 meter/tek gateways second craft 1 large bear traps third find a giga a high lvl one to get yourself a killing michine fourth place down the gateways this way |_| fifth place the bear trap in the middle sixth lure the giga into the bear trap seventh place the last gateway behind him/her to trap it eighth get him/her to sleep by shooting it with tranq arrows/tranq darts and put some prime in its inventory and BOOoOOoOM u got your own killing Michener pls up this guys it took so long to make this eyeman- (:
I recommend building a tower near your trap, for context a Rex came and I ran but forgot about the giga and let’s just say that giga go a little snack
Babies eat 1 food about every 5 seconds
The best way to KO one of these is by playing three metal gates and a large bear trap in the middle then lead the giga in the middle then place another metal gate behind it then use a long neck and shoot it out
Admin on a server gave me a giga egg for finding a titan. Someone else helped me find it and they got an egg too. The admin is nice as heck lol.
So here’s what I did it’s kind of expensive
So make the metal behemoth gates then make the fences tame a couple of dodos throw them in the metal trap place three bear traps in the trap. Leave the front door open. Lead the giga next to the trap and it will attack the dodos then close the door
If you want a giga on vaulgaro trade one for a unicorn, or tame 1 male and 1 female to breed. It gonna be hard. What you need to do is get about 200 narcotics, feed him 50, get 2-6 raw prime meat.(and some backup raw meat. Never leave gigas side always be on high alert. Never hit the giga. Also dont put any cute tame near it or on you when its conscious
Just get a crossbow with 40 toxicant arrows, 4000 cinidaria venom, soothing balm (if console or pc use prime meat because they like it more so taming will be quicker) and 500 meat. Then shoot it down and give the balm, give it meat and if you use the balm that you get from hunt raptor it will take 3 meat pieces. This will pretty much work for any giga with 80,000 health or below (I got a 83k in my experience).
Hope this helps!

Put three metal behemoth gateways making a kind of U like this: \_/ then just lead it in, and place on more on the opening and it’s trapped. In the end, the trap should look like this: __ I mean kinda. It can’t get out now, just tranq
\_/ And give it a bunch of mutton. Make sure you have biotoxin to force feed it when torp gets low. Once it’s tamed, level up it’s damage to 100% that’s all you need and now just level up stam and whatever else you want u have a magnificent battle creature
Easy breed but don't walk away while hand feeding. And prepare to live 11 days in 3 to 4 hour intervals if you want 100% imprint. Mine is 2 days from completion and with imprinting is at 291.4 mellee. Born at 245 mellee lvl 231 female.
The best way to K.O a giga is to get 4 matel billboards and place to make a square then take 2 wood foundation 4 wood doorways and 4 wood ramps to make a ramp into your box. After that lead the giga into the trap preferably with a flyer that has over 600 hp
Hard to tame without a trap cause it keeps running around. I tried with tranq darts but it kept running and lost all torpor. Even a high hill won't be effective so remember to make a trap.
They are way faster than so watch out
To Encounter question about finding and trapping:
I have found them on all 4 of the northern peaks on the island. If you play Mobile, the pursuit takes you to the spawn points: SW side of Griffin peak, NNW side of Crystal peak, W side of the snow covered peak and N side of Blue Obelisk peak, although they may not actually be present there. I presume similar on other platforms.
I used the advice of 3 metal gates and a large bear trap then add the fourth (so thanks that person). They move downhill Very quickly but not back up, so I was successful leading them down to choke points or narrow valleys to trap.
Once trapped, attack to start food depletion, sleep, KO (ascendant longneck rifle and tranq darts) tame with balm and raw prime meat.
-Good Luck
