Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a giganotosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a giganotosaurus.
The things you need to tame a giga:-
1)Flyer (recommending an argy).
2)4-5 dinosaur metal gateways.
3)1-2 large bear traps.
4)10x soothing balm if your playing on mobile.
5)Your KO weapon (most recommended are ascendant longneck rifle or ascendant crossbow).
6)Your KO ammo (bring a decent amount).
7)Taming food of your choice (most recommended is raw prime meat or kibble if you can).
8)Decent amount of narcotics or bio toxin.
FIND GIGA: gigas usually spawn at mountains. On the island try looking around the volcano or the two mountains in the snow area.
SET YOUR TRAP: take 3 of your metal gateways and make this shape \_/ then put a large bear trap or 2 in the middle. It’s easier if you build the trap on flat ground.
TRAP THE GIGA: get the giga to follow you and make it go inside the trap, then make sure it’s caught in the bear trap. When it’s stuck in the bear trap go behind it and complete the trap with another gateway. The final shape of the trap looks like a Trapezoidal.
KO THE GIGA: even a low level giga has a lot of torpor and it drops fast so keep shooting no matter what. It’s recommended for a tribe-mate to help you.
START FEEDING: put the food in the giga’s inventory and keep an eye on it’s torpor.
I hope this was helpful 😊
Many a tribe have been foolish enough to think they could fight a wild giga with a tamed and ended up with a dead giga. Don't be them.
I was looking to metal to make a saddle then I said to my brother “i am going to tame a giga” as a joke. Not even 10 seconds later a level 55 giga came into view. KEEP IN MIND WE ARE ONLY LEVEL 40!! We are gonna tame it tomorrow with arrows since we don’t have tranq darts😂 wish us luck!
Make 4 metal dino gates and 1 large bear trap. Place three frames and door into an incomplete square and the large bear trap in the I between them. Lure the Giga into the trap and while its trapped place 4th down to make the square. Then just light it up with tranqs
Fully imprinting a giga will NOT cause its health to be doubled but instead gain 16000 extra health, this is because when it is tamed the giga gets -63000 health and -80% melee damage but when it is imprinted the giga gets a 20% increase of every base stat of a normal giga.
Just lure into a metal gate set ups some plant Xs and it will knock out you welcome
I 100% recommend charging straight on a Giga with a wooden club, you won’t regret it.
TO THE GUY THAT SAID METAL SIGNPOSTS WORK, IT JUST WALKS RIGHT OVER THEM.
f for my argy
This mf finna molest you if you try to tame it
It takes about 5000 stone and 125 slingshots to knock one out
Anyone up to the challenge vote u
If you fly an argy near it, fly around the shattered ice for a while he will sometimes get stuck between 2 floats and since he is so big he can't move. Then sit nearby with plenty of prime meat or mutton and 125-150 narcotics, you can blast him with darts... He's Yours! (This is how I do it).
I knocked one out with a HUGE amount of froggo’s I started with 35 frogs all level 100-150 and by the time he fell I had 4 frogs one ^ is a frog memory!
I have one of these I will tell you how I got mine I was on a big hillside
So I could shoot it from the top I need 150 arrows the taming ones
Mine was a level 20 so you might need more than I did make sure you have prime meat it will tame faster than regular it wakes up really easily so make sure you have narcotic with you I need 200.so you might want more just in case hopefully this helps please like it if it helps 👍🏻
The real gods at ark use their fists.
I tamed this guy with low level pulmonos where’s my trophy?
So for taming a giga in mobile its too ez. There is a giga logic in mobile that it will not aggro on you if you are on a tame (any) and unless if you hurt them. So just use a argy, sit under its feet literally and put the metal gates around it and trap it. And then get a distance of atleast 30-40m and start tranqing it. BTW after trapping it, i will recommend to sleep then knock it out after waking bcz it will be starving due to trap logic (only works in mobile). Then put the balm and prime. Boom it will tame instantly due to starving and we dont need to get worried for its torpor drain. Thanks me later...

I love how this actually tells you how many fist hits or club hits it takes as if anyone would be dumb enough to try to knock out a wild giga with bare fists or a melee weapon. If someone shows prrof they knocked it out with their fists and no god mode/cheats on then id give them 100$ cash.
Practice your sniping skills

Step 4: forget escape vehicle
Step 5: cuss and smack the controller into the tv

Step 7: get woke up by by giga chomp noises
Step 8: look outside bedroom window

When you tame a giga it loses 65k health and around half it's damage.
The babies need a ridiculous amount of food. Had to commit genocide to make my little bastard a snack.
