Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a giganotosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a giganotosaurus.
I knocked one out, demolished the metal bill boards around it and put some prime in its inventory. 3 seconds later it woke up. A level 150!! Thousands of torpor in seconds.
Place HUNDREDS of bear traps. And just keep. On. Shooting. You might go through quite a few bows/guns or whatever you’re using but it’s worth it for a deadly mount. If you have enough bear traps set he won’t even get close to you before you get him unconscious. Just remember to keep him that way… as a personal message
To tame one first you needt to trap hi then place metal dinasour door for protection and then knock hom and give soothing balms and narcotic
You know what sucks? Getting Prepared making Quetzal kibble making loads of Tranq darts running to Drops for Free amber(ark mobile) saving up to get the 15x smoothing balm then wasting 120 tranq darts to bring this down SOLO just to forget narcotics/bio toxin and having the gigs wake up😐 I was getting to over prepared that I forgot them and I was so pissed but the Giga is currently stuck so wish me luck
Who tamed one on Day 64? They r hard
Tamed a one seventy took 7 kibble Dododex said 6
When taming, use the four metal dino gates of course, but I actually recommend using a tapejara so you can hover above the trapped giga and shoot it from the back seat of the tapejara, as it’s common to trap the figs in a dangerous area.
MAKE A TRAP IF YOU ARE DOING THIS SOLO TRUST ME IT WILL RUN AWAY IF YOU DO NOT USE ONE AND ALWAYS OVERPREP
Although its quite difficult
The funnest way to tame the giga is use a quetz platform
Tip don’t make a base near the large mountains I had to lead this away from my base while I’m breeding rexes my argy almost died bc of the giga it’s a good lvl I might tame it
When u tame one it has 17 thousand health and attack is 18 percent so has that happen to you and it's a level 63!?
You probably tamed your rex without a trap, I know I did! Well, kiss that goodbye, because these guys won’t stand still long enough for that… and they’re fast and very powerful! Rexes are slow and dumb so they’ll sit they’re letting you shoot them from atop a cliff, Gigas won’t have any of that bs, so you need to trap them!
You see one and even when your ready to tame it you still turn around and run like hell
I was just looking for metal then a giga just came up behind me and one shot me and my royal griffin so I thought it was a good idea to take all my Dino’s to go kill the giga and let’s just say that I don’t have any Dino’s anymore😭(rip Dino’s I’m sorry for taking you guys to a giga so he could one shot you)
The way I tamed my one is get on a high place and get another friend to distract on other side of mountain while your mountain one mountain shooting at it and make sure it’s agro on your friend so some one can shoot from behind.
So easy to tame if you do it right you just simply trap it in using metal gates and bring about 200 tranqs with you just to be safe and tranq it out.
On the island in the snow biome sometimes wild gigas can get stuck on the small icebergs littered across the river that creates the border between the snow and jungle biomes and the water is shallow enough for them to not drown so you might not even need to build a taming pen.
Whilst giga is chasing you in to tge trap i always get a 1minute tamed dilo on turret mode abd long range and agressive to splat the giga and slow him down. Mean while i run behind and add 4th gate. Light up tranqs then add narcs and mutton. Boom. Solo tame
My tribe easily got a max by trapping it with metal dinogates and lighting it up w/tranqs on top of a quetz and at a safe distance. Starve taming soon followed. Not too tough with flyers, just stay safe and keep your distance
A effective way to knock out a giga is to have a tribe mate fly a quetz and let you grapple on to its chest that way you can tranq it from above and when it starts running you'll have a way to keep up with it and continue to tranq it.
