Why Hello everyone!, looking to tame an R-Giga?, 145 to 135/130 or less? Maybe more?, I’m talkin 150! To 155!, ( 155 if you’re on higher than default levels I suppose!)

Anyway let’s get to the point,

First Disclaimer!!! This isn’t a tip for the suitable and well prepared requirements.

Do you wonder if you’ve got what it takes a tame a Giga with JUST some bows and tranq arrows? And you lack the ability to get good rifles or just don’t want to wait that long?, or is the game not giving you a single good blueprint or whatnot for one?

Welll do you ATLEAST have one or 2 JOURNEYMAN Crossbows? Or one JOURNEYMAN crossbow AND a MASTERCRAFT Crossbow?

( and if you’re like me, also have an ascendant compound bow?)

Because approximately 1x Journeyman crossbow with about 283 durability or more, plus 168% weapon damage

( more especially according to my calculations if you’re taming any higher than 145 that I did with this method but I’m not sure how bunch the torpor differs between lvls on R-Gigas.)

Anyway, combine that with a Mastercraft crossbow with 202 weapon damage (or more) and 141 durability ( i know that’s bad, just what mine is at as an example)

(If you don’t have one another better or similar Journeyman crossbow/s should do the same thing.)

Combine that with an ascendant compound bow ( both of my other bows broke so I had to use this) and 741 tranq arrows with only 7 or less misses will knock out a Lvl 145 R1Giga with 261 tranq arrows left.

( again the compound bow probably isn’t necessary whatsoever as long as you have either multiple journeyman or better crossbows.)

Anyway my attempt of taming a 145 R-Giga on Fjordur was a booming Success!.

Mind you I used a trap, and sat there shooting it in the head with mostly guaranteed success in hitting my shots apart from some misses until I got the right position!.

My new R-Giga (male) is black with green stripes and I shall name him Master Chief, I do hope this was helpful in some way or other!.

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...

Pro tip:

Gigas can't swim well or breathe underwater. Knowing this may well save your life one day.

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.

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.

Some helpful tips

Space ur metal dino gates a tiny bit that a human can walk through the edges

Have at least 2 or 3 bear traps

Keep them there for another giga ecounter

Use a argy for best results mainly due to smithy portability and if u messed up can be fixed

If using primitive gear, carry a second or 4th if u are using tranq darts and not the shocking variant

Before tranqs get ur narcotics/biotoxin and your kibble if you have any

Make sure to clear the area before attempting the giga

Oh my Oh My, I just managed to knock out a Lvl 140 Giga on ASE, with just about 4 Primitive Longneck rifles and about, ahem, NEARLY 600 PLUS of my stock of tranq darts leaving me with just 168 of them left….

This Thing has 93k Torpor, and holy shoot people I do NOT recommend doing this, although it’s possible, doing what I did takes WAYY too long, trust me,

I’ve been sitting here shooting at this Giga for what felt like hours man,

And I thought I overprepared! With 5 extra Longnecks and as said 600 plus Tranqs, about too many to count of narcotics, so safe to say my efforts aren’t for nothing as this Lvl 140 Giga shall be my best friend!,

Now I will try with the remaining tranquility to hopefully, tame something easier……..with my remaining non-broken longnecks..

Make a club. Find one hit it with the club untill it is unconscious. Put mejoberys in its inventory. And wait shouldn’t take that long to tame.

Boom now you have your do- oh wrong page

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

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

Always be careful trying to tame these beasts because one small mistake can lead to a lot of regret

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.

TORPOR DRAIN INSANE TF YOU MEAN I SPENT OVER 200 ARROWS AND 260 DARTS AND SPEND CLOSE TO AN HOUR TO KNOCK OUT JUST FOR IT GET BACK UP IN 5 MIN

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

This is a easy tip about 1-3 people with longneck rifles tranq or shocking tranq and carry about 400 narcotics just in case and DO NOT LEAVE FOR A SECOND OR IT WILL WAKE UP AND KILL YOU ALL also force feed narcotics prime meat

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.
