Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a giganotosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a giganotosaurus.
Don’t try the shooting off a mountain strat. He gives zero f*#%s and will charge straight up the mountain an one shot you.
Make a steel tower and gate so when comes in trap it and then Tran it till knocks out then give it tons of prime meat
Get on a quetzal with platform saddle and thorny dragon set to aggressive and fly around it but out of range
In Ark Mobile You Can Trap It Without Angering It But I Prefer Making The Trap And Then Lure The Giga In The Trap cause if it's not aggroed then u might accidently hold and then you have to make the gates again Ark Mobile's Giga Doesn't Aggro On You When Riding Dinos
Using a tall hill makes a Giganotosaurus easy to tame, and you wouldn’t loose tranquilizer darts or tranq arrows.
If you want to tame fast use the starve method by trapping the giga sleeping near it
1)find your Giga
2)build the trap with 4 dino gates and posts and 3 large bear traps
3)lore the Giga in
4)place the final gate behind
5)knock it out with a wooden club or shocking tranq darts
6)after knocking it out feed it kibble or raw prime meet
First put large bear trap to stun it u gotta do everything fast after that or u will be turned into dinner take metal billboard 4 and trap him from 4 both sides
Most important advice be on argy then u have to have a LOT of tranq equipment then start shooting using a bow or rifle nice u knocked him hope this advice helped :)
Don’t. Stop. Shooting.
Bring multiple Longnecks, you’re gunna need them.
Really easy if you have a good crossbow and 3x or 10x soothing balm. Then knock it out wait two minutes and feed them prime meat.
If you place down metal dino gate the Giga will be attracted so you can go on a griffin or a clif and keep shooting
Build yourself a taming raft fully metal and big enough for big game, gigas can't destroy metal so it's easier to do that way...that way you can travel to the giga and have all the supplies to get it and then go back to base...easy as that
Bring +100 more darts then it says for high lvl gigas. Lost a 150 because I didn't and I came back and it despawnd. (Brought 520, said it needed 450)
to tame a giga you will need preferably shocking tranq darts quetzal kibble (mobile) metal gate ways and lage bear traps and bio toxin or tons of narcs and tame helper (optional). step one1 build the trap, you will need 7 metal gateways place them one at front another one next to it but diagonal then place another one to your left on the diagonal gate then go back to the first one you placed and place another gate to the right of you then place another gate next to the one you just placed and in the middle place the lage bear traps and have the 2 other gates in your hot bar (best dinos to use for luring in are galimimus (ik i spelt it wrong) griffin, spino, maybe allo, good speedy raptor or dear) now get on your tame and lurer it in and place the other 2 gate behind it and head shot it if you can then once OK you wait 30 seconds and then pump 100 bio toxin in to it then put the kibble on then pop the tame helper in if you brought it and u will have your self a giga hope this helped!😃
Took about 300 Narcotics, 35 Bio Toxin, and 11 meat WITH A MINOR SOOTHING BALM. Remember that you can’t request these guys home and you HAVE to ride them home. Or go the hard route and walk it home like I did. I found two females on the middle mountain and tamed the LEVEL 18 GIGA. Keep that in mind.
I used a five bear traps and two metal gates, two pointed away from the wall, the gates as close as possible to it, and then led it in with my argy. RIP Grey. But I did sneak up behind it and placed the gate.
there is a trick which i do in mobile is to get a little close at this but not close the giga was trying to bite me but it can't and i succesfully tame one but doing this just get the right distance i hope this works
Easy and cheap way to tame (recommended to level your speed and use high quality rifle or shock darts. Maybe bring a creature to defend yourself in case something goes wrong)
First grapple it’s tail or upper leg. Reel in as far as possible and switch to tranq weapon. (Don’t grapple too low or you might get killed by trample damage) Shoot it until it flees. Once it flees, the grapple will detach. Chase it down and shoot it quickly. It’s torpor drains very fast so if you don’t shoot it fast enough it’s torpor will drain and it will turn around and attack you. Once knocked out, put some meat in it and shove it’s face full of narcotics and it will eventually be yours.
Build a wyvern trap with a gate and stone pillars. Use 2 crossbows with approx 150 tranq arrows (w/ lvl 15 giga). Stay in aggro zone but don't come close. Lvl 15 giga has around 18k torpor but will deplete in 2 to 3 minutes. Use narcoberries NO NARCOTICS this doesnt last as long. I reccommend 800 berries (farm with trike) and around 6 prime meat. 50 food eating interval!! No starve!!! Just feed feed feed en keep an eye on torpor
Use shocking tranq darts its take avout 100 or about 150 to knock out a levels150
I don’t think you will ever tame this thing it’s the strongest dinosaur I’ve ever seen
