Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a giganotosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a giganotosaurus.
With the proper technique, it's a long, but easy tame ;
1rst step : tame a scorpion, or arthropleura from within the caves (really important)
Imprint the MD as much as possible, until you'd find the gigano
Use the not-an-insect-even-though-every-one-say-they're-bugs, to attack the big one (he won't agro on you, unless you dismount)
Between each attacks, wait few seconds, until he'd recove 1hp
After a long while, he's knocked out, just bring him food... & Narcotics 👍
Naa me not tame giga. today me go tame giga with 150 tranq aroow- a normal person who's English is very dengerous.
The only real way to tame a giga is using a trap because missing one shot or letting run for even a bit too long can make you have to waste 10 more shots
When you've found a suitable level Giga, find a tall cliff/ledge to shoot from. If stuck on flat land, turn to a platformed Quetz or th backseat of a Tapejara to shoot off of. I recommend to have two or more tribe mates on this tame.
Place 3 metal dinosaur gateways in a “U” formation, then put a large bear trap in the middle. Next, simply get it to aggro on you and follow you into the trap, once it’s snagged on the bear trap, move behind it and seal off the entrance with a fourth gateway!
Thanks for reading and I hope you can find a high level one to tame!
The giga's torpor will be going down insanely fast, I tried to tame one with a crossbow with 100+ tranq arrows, when I come up to it with a magnifying glass the torpor was 0 .
I just tamed one and got freakin scared out of my face!!! The good news is she only killed me once . . . Note to self: GIGAS APPARENTLY HAVE A HITBOX THE SPAN OF 200000000 MILES.
It takes me a long time to tame them
As babies they will eat a lot! So get a lot of meat .like plz
they make big chompy chompy and eat everything
Bring double the amount of arrows or darts Dododex tell you to bring
You know I was soooo prepared that health gets nerffed from 80 000 to 17 000. I'm cool with that, but NO ONE has EVER SAID that BASE DAMAGE GOES DOWN FROM 100 TO JUST 20???? My G O D. My hard work is just... useless. (ARK mobile)
Are you looking for a strong mount? Cool if you wanna tame a Giga just follow these simple steps and follow the requirements so you can have a Giga!
Lets start packing!
REQUIREMENTS FOR THE TAME AND FOR YOUR OWN SAFTEY
-Ascendant/Journeyman Long-neck Rifle (Has to have good Durability not damage bcuz it might kill the Giga.)
-x3-x6 Quetz Kibble (You can buy a cheif station on mobile and get quetz kibble or search the recipie in YT.)
-Shocking Tranq Darts/Normal Tranq Darts
-Giganotasaurus Saddle (The Saddle for the Giga is only unlocked when your Lvl 98.)
-Ascendant Flak armor would be appreacieated since Gigas have a Gnash Effect-(Bleed Effect.)
-Good Stat Mount (Keep them safe from any saboor or direwolf or any dangourous carnivores and make sure that the stats are good with good HP, Stam, and speed.)
-Trap (If you want it the hard way then just tame it with out a trap or place three behomoth gate ways and trap the Giga or do the normal trap. ⚠️NOTE⚠️: This is very risky with out a trap or taming it with tatch tier wood tier and stone tier it will break all of those but not metal so trust me use metal!)
-3-4 Stacks of Bio or 5-7 Stacks of Narcotics.
Alrighty! Lets get started on taming this Land Mosa!
-Step 1: Find a Giganotasaurus (Gigas can be found on Mountains and the Snowy Mountains too.)
-Step 2: Build your trap and lure the Giga in! (Make sure its Metal Tier and has a Large bear Trap.)
-Step 3: Put your mount somewhere safe and put it on neutral and Tranq your Giga! (Gigas have 80k-100k Torpor so be prepared.)
-Step 4: Once your Giga is KO"d feed it Meat or Quetzal Kibble and put your Bio-Toxin Or Narcotics.
-Step 5: Just keep clearing the area while taming the Giga.
Yeay!!!! You have tamed the 3rd Apex Predator of the Island! 🦖🦖🏇🥳🥳
Now lets showcase the Gigas Abilities and Disablities!
ABILITY 1- Giganotosauruses have a Gnash Effect A.K.A Bleed effect which drops enemies creatures HP up to 30%! So when a Giga does that and when you still avoided it youll still be lossing HP.
ABILITY 2- These creatures are not very behaved they are likely to kill everything even theyre rider when they fall into a very deep slope this ability is called Rage Mode.
Now for the Dissablities!
DISSABILITES
DISSABLITY 1- The Giga Saddle can be only unlovked on lvl 98 so if you tamed a giga while still lvl 87 or 71 ya"ll still need the Saddle to ride it but luckily when your at Mobile and you have lots of amber saved you can buy an Tannery and just get enough thingys in the Tannery to buy a Journeyman Giga Saddle!
Thanks for reading my Guide hope ya"ll have a great day! 😁😄😃 and take care! :')

Use atleast 4 metal dinosaur gateways (i would suggest 5-6 just in case) place 3 in a formation where the giga can walk in and you can place the last one behind it while it is stuck in a bear trap that u can place in the middle of it.
I have 8 of these beauties! 6 females and 2 males, about 4 of those I two man tamed with a buddy. The rest all 6 tribe members were there. If you don't feel like gathering the materials for a trap. (We've only trapped one of these out of the 8) Get a quetzal with a platform saddle and have one person fly and the other shooting with tranq arrows or tranq darts constantly because there torpor goes down quick. It's not super hard. We've even tamed one underwater LOL. Good luck! Be warned you can lose your quetzals or any other tamed animals if you aren't careful! We've lost about 5 quetzal's and a rex in the process of just one giga. When you knock it down stay on it. Shoot 100 narcotics in it once it hits the 50-75% mark on its torpor. People who don't watch it's torpor or keep pumping narcotics into it when it starts dropping are the ones that deal with the "the giga will wake up on full torpor" myth. It's unlikely it will if you know what you're doing. Take my advice! Happy taming!
you need 200 biotoxic minimum to tame giga
To the guy who lost his job and his girlfriend I feel you but my giga has 1,100 melee it 2 shots some brontosaurus
Just dont try it unless prepared
Bug on official right now the torpor will drop even if your slamming narcotics. Fix to this is starve tame and it will be nice and easy to keep asleep.
Do you want to tame this huge dinosaur? Well, I have just the taming guide for you! There are 2 sections: Mobile Taming and PC Taming. Since PC Taming is more popular, I’ll start with that first;
REQUIREMENTS:
Ascendant Crossbow/Rifle, Tranq Ammo, 1 or 2 LARGE Bear Traps, Bio Toxin (Quantity Depends On Level), and 4 Metal Gateways. You’ll also need lots of Kibble!
FIND YOUR GIGA:
Get on an Argy and find your Giga. Make sure the Giga is a decent level!
SET UP TRAP:
Place 3 Metal Gateways in a box formation like this; \_/. However, don’t place it tilting outwards, unlike that of what is shown in the picture. Just make it a perfect box with an opening. Make sure to leave gaps between the Gateways so the Giga fits through! Leave a bear trap or 2 in the middle to immobilize the Giga.
LURE THE GIGA:
Shoot the Giga and immediately get on your Argy. Try to lead the Giga into the trap. Once it is trapped, place the final Gateway in the opening so that the Giga does not escape.
KNOCKOUT:
Use the weapon of choice and prepare to knock out the Giga. You will need tons of Tranq Ammo for this, so make sure to bring a lot! Shoot every 3 seconds or so. IMPORTANT: Do not miss shots while knocking out the Giga!
TAMING THE GIGA:
Get your absurd amount of Kibbles and Toxins and start taming! Do not leave your tame unmonitored, as the Giga drains torpor way faster than the Therizino or Rex. Have a tribemate to help guard the Giga if you have one available.
I hope this version helped a lot of people! Now let’s see how to tame a Giga on Mobile. I promise this version is very straightforward;
DISCLAIMER: The way I tame Mobile Gigas is very specific, so if you want a more general way to tame one, seek a friend to help you.
REQUIREMENTS:
Soothing Balm, 1-2 Behemoth Dinosaur Gateway set, 75 Bio Toxin or larger, Ascendant Crossbow/Rifle, and Tranq Ammo. You’ll also need Quetzal Kibble (at least 2), so consider making lots of jerky before taming!
FIND YOUR GIGA:
Find a Giga near the snow mountains.
LURE THE GIGA:
Get on an Argy and carry prey. Wild Gigas will not agro on mounted creatures. They will also not accidentally attack your tame either, since they only attack the prey that your Argy is holding. But they will attack and kill your Argy if you do attack them or agro them! I have confirmed this, try it yourself! Lead it to a cliff or mountain, which will be used as the other walls of the trap! If you feel like the Giga will just climb the cliff or go onto the sides of the mountain, you’re probably right. Leave the prey onto a ledge so the Giga does not leave!
TRAP THE GIGA:
Place the Behemoth Gateway(s) and Gate(s) to trap the Giga. Do not unmount your Argy while doing this, or else it will agro on you! At this point, the prey may have fallen down or the Giga has left. Make sure to place them quick!
KNOCKOUT:
If you can’t shoot the Giga on the ledge you are on, build a platform with thatch. Make sure to knock out the Giga quick, or else it will break the Gate!
TAME THE GIGA:
Use the Soothing Balm and Quetzal Kibble. Use Bio Toxin as well. If you use a mountain and it is too slippery, place a structure! I almost lost my Giga to this.
I hope this final result helped! I am not the best at making guides, but I will try my best when it comes to helping the community. I hope you like it!
