Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a giganotosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a giganotosaurus.
As a beginner in Ark Survival Evolved, taming a Giga may seem like quite the daunting task. However, with some proper planning and preparation, you can successfully tame one of the most feared creatures in the game.
First and foremost, it's important to note that taming a Giga is not something that should be attempted alone. It's recommended that you gather a group of experienced players who can help you take on this challenge. Additionally, it's important to have a well-defended base to retreat to should things go south.
Assuming you've gathered a team and fortified your base, the next step is to set out and find a Giga. These creatures can be found in a variety of locations, but they tend to prefer mountainous terrain. Once you've located a Giga, it's important to plan out your attack carefully.
A common method for taming a Giga involves using a high-level Rex or a pack of Allosauruses to attack the creature from a safe distance. The goal is to lower the Giga's health without killing it. Once the Giga is sufficiently weakened, you can approach it with Tranquilizer Darts or Tranquilizer Arrows to knock it unconscious.
It's worth noting that taming a Giga requires an enormous amount of resources, including a vast quantity of narcotics, a significant amount of food, and a large supply of time. Patience and persistence are key to this process.
Once the Giga is unconscious, it's time to begin the taming process. This involves feeding it a vast quantity of raw meat or kibble, depending on your preference. The taming process can take several hours, but it's essential to keep a close eye on the Giga's health and keep it well-fed.
In conclusion, taming a Giga as a beginner in Ark Survival Evolved requires careful planning, teamwork, and a lot of resources. It's not a task for the faint of heart, but with dedication and perseverance, you can successfully tame one of the most challenging creatures in the game.
Well i suggest that you put the giga in a cliff with a high leveled Eagle then get some toxic arrows and knock it out, this should save you some resources.😉
They can be found on Genesis 1 Not Transferable however!
If you go to the lunar biome and look around you should see tek gigas , you tame them like usual however you can also breed them, I'm not sure whether you could breed them and transfer the eggs but I haven't tested that yet so I'm not sure!
These aren’t as hard as it seems. Here’s how to tame them. Use 4 metal gateways, 1 large bear trap. Lure the Giga into the trap (3 gateways in a U formation with the trap in the center, once trapped add the last gateway. Load it up with tranqs, I use arrows. Once knocked use whatever, but be careful of that horrible torpidity drop and bam you have one of the best creatures. I hope you enjoyed- TGIB
Here is a good tip if you see a giga congrats your dead but if your with a teammate bola them and run and you live
When using a trap make SURE YOU ARE ON FLAT GROUND IF YOU DONT YOU AND YOUR BIRD WILL DIE EASILY
Honestly everyone prolly knows this already but for those who don’t, use small metal gates and a few large bear traps. U will need about five to six gateways and at least three large bear traps. Place the first gate however you want it, the n place two more on either side of the first one diagonally.
Ex: _

Make sure you connect them. Place the bear traps inside the formation of gateways. Take note that you can extend the length of the two sides if you want.
Ex: /

(Sorry I can’t connect slashes but hopefully you get it)
Then lure the giga into the trap by going around to the front side and let him follow you into the opening so it will get stuck on the bear traps. Try not to get yourself stuck though. Then go to the back where the opening is and seal off the opening with the remaining gateways. The extra bear traps are if you can’t make it to the back to seal the trap off in time before he gets free. Another note: you cannot do this on a hill. It is very hard. Try to to this on flat ground.
Hope this was helpful!
go to far's peak to find one I tamed a male one there (btw do a genocide of all the things in the area before leading to ur trap) then after a long time a female one spawned there too and I tamed it
If you can find one on the north east snow mountain I recommend bringing ~ 210 shocking darts and ~ 100 tranq arrows. I had to trap him using 3 behemoth Dino stone gates, but it only took ~60 min. Bring friends if possible
The amount of darts needed to bring one down is too low, at least if you are bringing one down solo. I pumped 600 tranq darts into a lvl 154 a's fast as 5 long neck rifles would allow. Didn't go down. What a waste of time.
Make the v shaped trap with bear trap inside. Code it off with another metal Dino gate. Knock it out, exit game. Then click taming effectiveness box and put six nines in it . BOOM INSTANT TAME! And also HI
In my personal experience the easiest way to tame one of these is to take an argentavis and fly it not to close to giga get its aggro then fly up on a high ledge where the giga can't reach you and tranq it (I am on xbox so it may not work as well on PC)
Find a hard time with metal gates.Try stone behemoth gates instead but they usually need gate doors too..Just tame a dodic and Beaver...And one bear trap as usual.Trap it and start knocking it down...Use compound bow and Toxiciant arrows to get results faster than Tranq arrows.
I’ve been playing this game for about six months bc my bf kept begging me to try it. Today, I tamed my first ever giga, on my own from the back of my poison dragon. I was lucky because I managed to get the giga stuck between some rocks and I just kept shooting at it. And never forget to bring narcotics with you, the giga’s torpor drops really really fast. I also found the unicorn and tamed 3 rexes, all in one day
Get Tapejara fly over it, shoot once and lure it to steep mountain sides and shoot, tame.
these things are annoying to trap because their AI has a IQ of 21.
If you want a good and safe trap then go to captainfatdog on YT for a trap
Maybe tell how many bullets you need?
Challenge: tame a giga without the use of traps, cliffs, fast mount or flyer
Best way to tame trap it with 4 metal gates if cliffs near trap it there then have around 500 to 600 tranq darts ( depends on level ) then light en up
You might need 1000 to 1500 narcotics
