Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a giganotosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a giganotosaurus.
they make big chompy chompy and eat everything
How to tame a giganotosaurus:
1. You will need 4 metal gates, and a large bear trap.
2. Place the large bear trap, and then place 3 of the gates surrounding the trap, (in this shape \_/).
3. I recommend using a flyer to lead the giga into the trap.
4. After the giga is stuck in the trap, quickly place the fourth gate, which prevents it from escaping the trap.
5. Knock the giga out by shooting it with a tranquilizing ammo like tranq arrows or certain darts.
6. After you've knocked out the giga, feed it meat or preferred kibbles. I highly recommend feeding it kibble as it's much more effective.
-The giga has something called a "rage bar". It fills up when the giga takes damage. When the rage bar is completely filled, the giga starts to attack everything around it, even the player, their tames, and structures. And it's damage also increases.
Hope this helped!

For level 150, the dododex said 100% chance of death with pachy primary attack... its actually not talking about the giga
Its the pachy....

Captain Fatdog on YouTube has a very cheap trap. 98 cementing paste and 350 metal I think. Thanks for reading.
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.
If you're low on metals or want a trap that doesn't cost too much then use metal billboards. They work the same as metal gates and basically just cheaper. Be sure to use large bear traps tho.
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 .
Ok so while trapping one can be effective, it's not technically necessary. If you stand on a ledge on a mountain that's too steep for it, it'll just stand there looking into your eyes and longing to feast upon your flesh as you make it go sleepy
Just don’t
Really hard and dangerous just beat the game at that point
For 100 lvl giga
It takes me around 500 tranq aross 4 crossbows
200 bio toxin 100 narcotics
30 prime meat
4 metal gates 2 large bear trap
These gigachads spawn near the mountains. On Survival Evolved, if you lure them near big stone mountains they get stuck in between large rocks. Use this to your advantage.

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.
Search YouTube for ‘Captain Fatdog Giga Trap’. It costs the fraction of the materials of a typical gate trap and is way less risky. Just a few metal pillars is all you need. Fatdog traps are the way to go!
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!
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
When i wanted to help my friend taming a giga him : 10 minutes thats too long it was an lvl 159 giga so i did it alone.
(We play on nintendo switch)
And yeah it was a bit boring but i had a nice giga
I used 5 small metal door gate frames
2 large bear traps
A crossbow on 357.2%
231 tranq arrows
So good luck
When wild Gigas are tamed they lose about 80% of their stats.
Just dont try it unless prepared
I built 12 metal gateways to trap this thing. It was a waste. Please don’t be like me
400hp and full armor still 1 hit me?
