There is a spot near a ship wreck where on 5 of my fjord maps I know a spawn point for one on all but one of my deleted fjord maps one was there. It is the most likely spot to find one out of the three spawn spots for them. They also spawn around the volcano which is close by to the wreck and remember it is the ship wreck near the golden cliff. So you could find one hope this helps if you play fjorder.

Okay, I totally failed this giga tame. What did I do wrong?

Map: Extinction

Armor: Desert Cloth, backup fur armor just in case

Gear: ASCENDANT LONGNECK (there’s a spot near my base on CI where red drops spawn,) Shocking Tranq Darts (over 100,) Exceptional Kibble to tame.

Creature: Rock Drake, level 150, almost 14k health and around 1800 stam (I’m on singleplayer btw)

Target: Giga, lvl 16

It gets stuck on a cliff where nothing spawns and I start pounding in the darts. It starts to run? 🤔 Off the cliff and starts attacking everything. I get closer, and in less than a minute destroys 3/4 of my Drake’s health. I check it’s torpor (I’ve probably piled in over 30 darts) and it says: 2k out of 19k. I leave.

What should I do next time. Should I trap it (I know the trap,) or tame it on another map where it’s safer?

First you need 6 metal foundations, double door frames, triangle Sloped ceilings and two thatch foundations

Place one triangle foundation and continue with one side two thatch foundations and place the next triangle foundation and pick up the thatch foundations repeat this until you reach where you started the first triangle foundation after that place the six double doorframes (outer part) then place the triangle sloped ceilings facing towards the middle

Easy, and its antidirectional! Once the giga hops in it cannot get out!

Get four gateways and a large bear trap make a u shape with the metal gateways and place down one or two bear traps in the gates make shure a raptor or horse can get through Argo the Giga and lure into the bear trap with yourself Or a speedy mount put the 4th gateway behind him and shoot him use a good crossbow tranqs are a waste of resources and get lots of narcos you’ll need them.

Honestly catching and taming a giga is not as hard as everyone makes it out to be, if you have a trap its pretty easy, I tamed two gigas yesterday, the only hard thing for taming one is getting the materials/darts/narcs otherwise its easy peasy, I have more trouble trying to trap argies

For me, its not the taming part that is hard, its findinh one.

Anyways here how to tame one of these guys: prepare 4 metal gates (break stone), longneck rifle with tranq darts,a large bear trap, a 10x soothing balm (if on mobile), lot of biotoxins and lot of prime meats (if you dont have any kibbles).

Taming: these guys can be found in the mountains (luck isnt on my side), when you find one, make a uncompleted square (like this |_|) and put the large bear trap in the middle, then dismount near the beast then get back on your mount (must be using a flyer like pteranodon), even if you fly high it will still be aggroed on you, if you hit it with your ptera it only will aggro when your close to land. Then lure in it and it will get stuck for 5 seconds, then place the last gate behind.

Knocking out: If youre taming a low level like 30, get any balm (10x work better if you want it fast), it depends on your longneck rifle damage, if its like 355 it would take around 50-70 tranq darts, but id say to bring more incase. When shooting dont wait 5 seconds each, the torpor drains fast (as when its knocked out too) so youll just be wasting darts. Im tired so I wont continuing sadly. -CatLady
