Large bear trap and four bill boards is easiest and cheapest way to trap

Big tip: when you are knocking the giga out, you will see that when you shot all the arrows it takes some time for him to be unconscious because of the tons of torpor that's still raising. I didn't know that while taming one and I had to go back to base and I had to take some more arrows while it was not necessary.

If you have god console: if you knock it out and then increase levels a lot ( which for some dinos work cuz it increase max food cap) for this one wont work that much. I did that with lvl 15 and i made him lvl 150, torpor made from 18k to 500k. Not good idea

If u have 3 gigas lvl 60 or under n take on a wild lvl 8 u gona def lose best bet at least 4 120+ gigas to take 1 down or a quetz with lots of amo or flame arrows

Giga's usually spawn on mountains, so I find it easy if u lure it to the bottom of a cliff to the point where it gets stuck then you just to the top of the cliff and shoot it with tranqs. The more tribe mates you have the better

With the bear trap/ metal gateways, should I put a bronto at the end for it to aggro onto?

I led two of them in a trap at once (without bear traps, just be a man and scream while crapping yourself trying to run around to the back of it and place a Dino gate) and killed the lower level one, and then the high level one never agro to me. Haven’t tested twice yet but if y’all wanna try go ahead 🤷🏻‍♂️

The mighty giga, a fierce foe to encounter, matching the strength of the dodo. Jokes aside, here is what you’ll need to domesticate your very own giga.

An argentavis

A LOT of narcotics or loads of bio toxin (900-6000 reccomended)

Good amount of tranqs or tranq darts

From my experience taming a giga on mobile, I recommend about 150 toxicant arrows (but grinding the bio toxin could probably be a pain)

Or about 350-600 tranq arrows, bring extras just incase.

4 metal gates for a trap as gigas cannot break metal!!!!

This will be a guide for mobile AND pc/ any other device on The Island.

Step 1: Finding a giga. Gigas can be tricky to find if you have no idea where they spawn. They spawn on just about any of the big mountains you see. This includes: Whitesky peak, Fars peak, winters mouth, volcano mountain, weathertop mountain, And the Grand hills.

Step 2: Trap the giga! This is where things get a little different. On pc, or any other device that isn’t like ark mobile, you’ll want to place 3 gates and kite the giga into the 3 gates. On mobile, you have it way easier as it ignores people mounted on tamed creatures. Simply wait untill the giga stops walking and place the 4 gates on the argy. Be careful incase it gets aggroed to something else on mobile and hits your bird on accident. If giga is trapped, we move onto step 3.

Step 3: begin the knocking out process. Not gonna go much into depth for the knocking out. Treat the trapped giga as a buffed up trapped dino with a lot of torpor and fast torpor reduce. You want to make sure you get headshots if you can, as anything will matter in this part. If giga is knocked, we move onto step 4.

Step 4: Depending on the level, it will need 4-19 exceptional kibble with 60-309 narcotics or 155 bio-toxin. Found this info on the wiki. As for people on the mobile (I have ark on the switch AND on my tablet), you might need more depending on the gamemode you’re playing so consider these rates as a rough draft of what you’ll need. On mobile, it’s preferred food is quetzal kibble. You can use a soothing balm to speed things up though. Make sure to stay on the giga like how a raptor refuses to stop chasing you to make sure it doesn’t wake up, because it will wake up VERY fast.

Step 5: you have tamed a giga! This murder machine may not be able to be used for bosses normally, but there are a lot more uses for it! Uses: Meat harvester. The giga is almost if not the best dino for gathering large quantities of meat, only rivaled by the mosa, the sea giga.

Pvp mount: The giga is one of the BEST pvp Dinos, and for good reason! With enough time your lines can become overpowered! And also gigas have mesh bite im pretty sure. Guardian. The giga will handle most natural threats besides a wild giga itself.Tank, of course, despite the health nerf once tamed, it is still very tanky! Alpha hunter. You can find more fun in hunting with other Dino’s but giga is basically an easy clap.

Wooden clubs, mantis, magnifying glass and a few trancs you add that all up you get easy games thank me later

Dunno why no one actually thinks of this but here is the best tip for taming gigas(and probably any other land dino).You just build a giant tower out of metal by using those stick structures.You build a ladder and climb on top of it.you can use walls as platforms.Then just shoot he giga from the top until it gets john cena’d.You can also store meat on top of the tower.Though make shure you have a parachute because it will deastroy the ladder.

Higher damage on the longneck your using mean more torpor per dart

So trap it and use your crossbow and feed it meat like just meat

I play on mobile, all i did to tame him was just find a really good spot on a rock where he’ll stuck and stay there kept trying to attack me while i unload all of my tranq darts into him. You’ll need a lot of Narcotics or Bio toxin like A LOT as his torpor decrease really fast, if you bring his favourite kibble and soothing balm you wont have to waste so much narcotics on him

Thinking about taming one of these beasts!

Difficulty 10/10 very hard (not necessarily hard but not easy and time consuming)

What you will need.

A lot of tranqs (1-2k for a 180)

5-6 Metal gates

Large bear trap

30 exceptional kibble (just my suggestion you can use less)

Around 1k extra narcotics

How to trap

Place metal gates in a hexagon like shape with a gate in your inventory

Place a large bear trap in the middle

Get the gigas attention and run like you’ve never run before

After it steps in the bear trap place the gate in your inventory behind it

Taming

Shoot it with tranqs DO NOT STOP

It’s torpor drops insanely fast and is insanely high (probably around 100k torpor for a 180)

Once it is out put all your narcotics in its inventory

Keep your kibble in your inventory and pump a couple narcotics every 2-3 minutes

After the beasts food goes down a bit put the kibble in its inventory and let it eat

Continue to pump narcotics every 2-3 minutes until it tames

Feel like I should mention to only pump about ten narcotics each time and now I feel like that about sums up how to tame a Giganotosaurus so survive and good luck taming survivors

- your favorite piranha slayer

To tame this beast u have to build 4 metal dinosaur gate because giga can't attack it and u have to use ascendant longneck from hunt dire bear and to trap giga use herbivore creature and use it as a bait good luck

How to tame a giga

1-get 4 metal gate way not (behemoth) 3 can work but 4 is easier

2- place the gate way like this |_|

3-place a large bear trap in the middle

4-get the giga aggro'd to you and lead it in the trap

5-once the giga is stuck in the bear trap quickly go put the last piece of dino gate way the trap should look like this □

6-then just ahoot shocking tranquilizer darts ,tranq darts and it should be knocked out

Thank you

As narcoberries take many seconds to apply torpor, feed them these as a few hundred may stop the ridiculous torpor drain for ten or so minuites.

To make it easier just use forcetame

Make a tramp with metal gate and then Tame it

If you want to tame without the dino gate trap method (specifically on the map The Island as that's where I tried it), make sure you know where all the waterfalls are. Then find a Giga and let it follow you to the waterfall. Make it fall down the water fall. You should be at the top of the waterfall and shoot narc arrows/whatever better option you have. Best to ride a flying creature with high stamina and health incase you get hit by it while you make the Giga follow you (it'll only follow when you land). Best waterfall to do this is the one next to the 2 snowy mountains, along that river up north/northwest ish, as it has both tall sides for it to get stuck in.
