How ARK players tame and knock out the Giganotosaurus: what to feed it, what to knock it out with, and how to keep it safe.

So it seems that incubating giga eggs in the incubator with the correct temp won’t give you the 20% boost like other fertilized eggs. Weird.

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…

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

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…

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…

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 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…

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

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.

If you are using the Darts your going to need hundreds of them and maybe 10 longnecks

If you playing on mobile it's actually easy to catch one

You need

4 dinos gate way

Around 300 bio toxin for a lvl100 giga (don't spam )

Shooting balm

5 quitzel kibbel

And 200 darts if you have the regular weapon. If you have the ancient one you will need…

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…

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.

Found out on fjord there is a giga variant called the “R-Giga”
