Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a giganotosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a giganotosaurus.
To tame a giga you to knock it out I would recommend using schocking darts then knock it and feed it meat or kibble
Now I have a rifle that’s 407% damage and it only took 10 hits to knock it out for these guys u need exceptional kibb or extraordinary and if you find two rocks make it angers and run thru the rocks and if u did it right u have a traped gigs works best on rag in the deathsands there is a canyon I’ve tamed 2 this week from that so yea also giga babies give so much Xp great to level dinos with
If you have a tribemate and a trap for this gargantuan beast, simply use crossbows ramshackle+ and bunches of tranqs to knock it out, Have a balm 10x or 15x, and have 1-8 quetz kibble. And there ya go, ur own Giga. Oh, and also, BRING NARCS. LOTS AND LOTS OF NARCS!!

What ever the time suggests double it, what a joke. Lmaoooo
To the guy who used a slingshot: Y'all must be DEDICATED
This is the second most fearsome dino in ark, with the first being the dodo
Tamed one today, here what you will need
100 narcoric-More depending on level (check dododex)
4 normal metal dino gateways (Metal behemoth gates work to but normal metal gates are cheaper it will just take longer time to trap. And large bear trap.
Exceptional kibble
Lota of tranqs 300 or more
Steps
Make a u shape out of the gateways but dont perfectly connect them, give a bit of space on the edges. Also only place 3. And inside put a large bear trap.
Lure giga in (i recomend with flier) it will take a couple attempts.
once it in the giga will be stuck for ten seconds. Quickly as possible place the fourth one so its stuck but try to be careful to it could manuever out, if it does, on singleplayer cloae the game it will load a previous save. ( Hopefully not to far back) and try again. Once trapped tranq until asleep and wait for it to reach 1k or 2k torpor and feed it ALL of your narcotics available. And put the kibble in its inventory and leterr eat. You should now have tamed giga.

HOW TO TAME A GIGA
1) Find a giga they usually spawn near mountains btw
2)trap the giga with 4 metal gates and a bear trap by first placing 3 of the gates and the trap in the middle once the giga gets stuck place the fourth
3)DESTROY the gigas face with tranqs preferably from an ascendant longneck or ascendant crossbow
4)shove food up its mouth and wait until ur mum is 9000 years old make sure u also shove narcotics up its mouth as well
5) after ur mum is 9000 years old u will have a giga which u probably won’t even be able to use until ur dad returns with the milk
U NOW OWN A GIGA
On a mountain I found one and I use ascendant compound bow it took 49 to knock out and it got stuck in the mountains arch so I go lucky but my pt died and I didn’t get to tame it bc I didn’t know I would come across one so I wasn’t prepared and I was so sad
Is there a certain spot where the gigas can’t hit you or you have to hit them I was shooting mine with a bunch of tranquilizer arrows in a sentence bow and it was getting no tranquility I don’t really understand this how does it work it took me six months to get one to spawn please reply if you know how to get one to fall asleep
trust me, bring alot of narcotic if you're coming for a level 150.
Trap with metal dino gates tranq a lot tame have like 5000 narcotics done giga tamed
How to tame a giga
Step 1: use a behemoth dinosaur gate way with bear traps large ones
Step 2: lock him in by placing walls
Step 3: tranq it out
Step 4: feed it raw or prime meat
Step 5: you have tamed a giga
The i think easiest way to nock-out a giga Is with metal plaque. If you place the metal plaque wrong you are dead. The best is if you place it like a House that fell on the side… I Hope i could help you :)
If you are breeding for mutations tame a low level female, as low as possible as you can clone them and mass produce eggs for mutations
Tips& Precautions for taming a giga.
Precautions
1. Always use a trap. trying to tame it without a trap is quite hazardous even with Griffin's or quetzals.
2. Expect your tames to get hurt and die
3. Always bring Extra Ammo and narcotics.
Tips.
1. I recommend using Crossbows because they are quicker.
2.Always be try to feed it as fast as possible because the torpor drain is high
3. Don't fight them(speaking from experience)
Guide
1. 3 metal signposts. One large bear trap. Box formation with enough space for it to enter.
2. Agro the giga in the box.
3. Place 4th signpost to complete the square.
4. Knock it out , and feed it Kibble only.(other foods are worse even with balms)
5. You now have a giga. And a corpse of all your tames and all your narcotics expended.

Hi there! Just a quick reminder for those who would like to tame a giga :)
These things have a torpor that decreases by 100 each second, so I suggest you to bring a whole stack of biotoxins since their torpor drops extremely fast!
Sorry if I made mistakes, English is not my first language ;)

If you’re going to tame one of these, trap it with metal gates and a bear trap and only use tranq arrows! Tranq darts are much slower and if you’re reloading your rifle and the game lags, you will lose all your progress and it’s torpor may drop to 0!
Dont tame a low level, its too much work for a giga that gets wrecked by a dire bear
