How do I tame a giganotosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a giganotosaurus.
This mf finna molest you if you try to tame it
Pro tip:
Gigas can't swim well or breathe underwater. Knowing this may well save your life one day.
I have tamed my first Giga. Two of my eagles died in the process and I died several times myself. However, after two hours I was finally redeemed and my very first giga was tamed. I have never been so happy in this game. (700h)
I didn't have a name right after taming. I wanted to think of one on the way home. My path ran along the northern beach.
After 300-400m, less than 30 seconds later, I ran straight into the arms of a lvl 4 Giga.
I've rarely been as shocked as I was at that moment.
I tried everything to turn my giga around quickly. However, it had a turning circle of what felt like three trucks...
Rip Giga without a name
I've never been so broken.
I still can't believe this story...
Don’t waste your time trying to farm up narcotics to feed your giga while it’s out! Just kill a bunch of jellyfish and get biotoxin and feed the giga. I believe it does more torpor anyway.
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).
Just get like 400 trank arrows and a good crossbow and hover over it with a rhynio. I did it and just any time the rhynios stam gets low i just dismount and stand on its saddle. The only thing is that you'll have to chace it once it starts running.
I wasted like 450 metal for gates and 60 tranq darts. I misread and brought 1100 narcotics with me needing only 86. I then tame the giga and feel proud of myself. I then check the stats to find that it has 17080 health and 20% melee damage.
Remember in the island thay can spawn in the volcano so you can just block the entrance and traq it down carcha to
For people trying to tame this thing, Make a trap, if u dont u will possibly miss some shots, and with the long reload time, when ur done reloading this thing will already have 0 torpor again, they drop around 600 torpor per second if you dont hit them with tranqs within 6 seconds per shot, if u wait more than 6 secs per shot ur basically making absolutely no progress
For people who can’t find gigas (mobile), go on the grass plain between griffin mountain and frozen tooth, tidy save and add it in your backup data.After that, roam around frozen tooth and you should see the giga.If you aren’t satisfied with the level/gender then go back to the backup and restore the save.When you go back to the spot where you find your first giga you should see a different one.Repeat until you find the right one
At 0.1 consumption speed and 0.1 taming with a level 9999 gigs it will take 7522687 days to tame, along with 576830857 narcotics.
I just got a slingshot and used 4942 rocks
When you think a high level rock elemental can kill a low level giga think again
Rip Rock Elemental
I see way to meany people use narcotics to keep things asleep,USE FLIPPING BIOTOXIN! It gives 80 torpor and doesn’t do damage, narcotics do 40
I have actually tried using a slingshot on a giga to knock it out. It broke, so I had to repair it many times. It took over 1k rocks-
When you've found a suitable level Giga, find a tall cliff/ledge to shoot from. If stuck on flat land, turn to a platformed Quetz or th backseat of a Tapejara to shoot off of. I recommend to have two or more tribe mates on this tame.
If you tried to tame a lv 9999 giga with cooked fish meat and 0.01 taming, you would need 4012100 cooked fish, and it would take 3761343 hours, 51 minutes and 49 seconds, not to mention the UNGODLY amount of narcotics.
they make big chompy chompy and eat everything
Always be careful trying to tame these beasts because one small mistake can lead to a lot of regret
Has anybody ever seen the tech version of these guys
