If you wanna find a giga (old mobile), tidy your save so these fellas can spawn, i found 2 near the frozen teeth. Just don't dismount your tame and you'll be fine..

To everyone who wants to tame a Giga and wants to use a Trap. The best one is the one where you use 14 Meta Pillars.(I can speak of experience it Always works) Of course you can use the Metal Gate Trap as well. But for the one with the Metal Pillars you need less Ressources and it is easier and faster to build. Also remember that the floor must be quite flat for this trap, otherwise the Giga can run over the metal pillars.If you keep this in mind, it is easy to tame a giga. If you need help building the trap, you should watch the Giga Trap video by Captain Fatdog. It helped me a lot.

Update from last time:

Sadly black pearl died, I lost stam so I was resting on a hill when the giga (10 for sure) sprinted over and killed us.

Now, I have the trap and the arrow.

The giga’s gonna be mine soon.

Also, I have a question:

On the island where do high level pts spawn? Unrelated but very hard to find 130+ pts really

Just dont try it unless prepared

When i wanted to tame one i guide it off of a cliff and it kept running away and looseing all of its torpor so i advise to use a trap or bear trap (large)

When wild Gigas are tamed they lose about 80% of their stats.

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 👍

If you want this weapon of mass destruction I’ll give tips:

You’ll need:

-A trap bc this thing is actually hard to hit without a trap.( I used 4 metal gates but any trap that’s big enough works)

-Your KO weapon(it doesn’t have to be a longneck, crossbow worked fine)

Now you know what you’ll need, let’s get to taming.

1. find a giga.

Gigas are basically ONLY found in mountains or snow and you’ll know it when you see one.(they are bronto-sized rexes)

2. Set up the trap.

A preferred place to set the trap is on any sort of flat ground, lead the giga in. If it doesn’t get stuck, the trap doesn’t work or you’re just skill issue.

3. KO the giga.

This should be easy but will take awhile. Don’t stop shooting because it’s torpor drops fast.

4. Feed it.

You can starve it or give it prime(don’t ask where raw meat went)it’s up to you, give it 100 biotoxin when it’s on low torpor and you’re set.

Now you have machine of death. It wasn’t that hard wasn’t it?

When you look for one... you don’t find one.

You dont look for one... you find loads

Moral of the story. Always look for Gigas!!!

Bring double the amount of arrows or darts Dododex tell you to bring

TO TAME THE GIGANOTOSAURUS YOU WILL NEED THESE THINGS

4 METAL DINOSAUR GATES

1 LARGE BEAR TRAP

MAKE IT ON FLAT GROUND AND PLACE THE FIRST ONE IN THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE GIGA AND THE OTHER TWO ON THE SIDES MAKE SURE THEY SHOULD BE CONNECTED AND THE LARGE BEAR TRAP IN THE MIDDLE OR A LITTLE BIT CLOSER TO THE FIRST ONE NOW AGGRO THE GIGANOTOSAURUS AND LEAD IT INTO THE TRAP AND IF IT GETS CAUGHT IN THE BEAR TRAP QUICKLY GO BEHIND IT AND PLACE THE FOURTH GATE NOW IT IS TRAPPED

IF YOU PLAY ON MOBILE LIKE I DO THEN USE A SOOTHING BALM AND THE SLEEP STARVATION TRICK TO INSTANTLY TAME IT

Here is a pearl of wisdom that I wish I was given when I tamed a giga:

Don't use three metal dino-gates, use four!

You make a U shape with three and put a large bear trap in the middle.

You then lure the giga onto the bear trap and place the final Dino-gate behind it to trap it.

Everyone says that you can use three metal Dino-gates but you really want to use four when you are being chased by the most terrifying creature on the island.

The numbers they give you are way off. If it says 500 dart's take 1000 or 1500 just to be sure.

Get a snow owl or argy and make sure it has a decent amount of life. Find your Giga and get slightly out of range of it. Set up 4 metal behemoth gates in box formation, but leave the door off the 4th wall facing the Giga. Get on your snow owl and aggro him. You may need to be low for him to follow, so do expect 3-5 bites from it as you lead the Giga into the cage, but often you can do it damage free. Each bite ranges from 200-500 damage depending on lvl, so make sure you can survive the damage.

When you fly up against the back wall, let him bite once more so you know he’s in. Fly up, turn around quick and hotbar the last door in, but stay above him. Fly out and land on top of the gate post. Carefully dismount... I’ve had some funny falls into the cage, but now I use a tek suit and keep my bird far away. Unless the ground is raised/rocky below, he shouldn’t be able to chomp you either way. You may need to bring a few hundred tranqs for high lvl ones, but plug away at him as he runs corner to corner. Bring some spare crossbows or rifles. Have some kibble, or mutton handy (# depending on your server rates) and throw it in his inventory when he goes down. Gigaty gigaty goo!

When taming a Giga it's torpor drops in 2min so wait til it's torpor is at about 4,000 then pump a several hundred Narcotics all at once. 100 Narc = 4,000 torpor. It takes longer for the torpor to rise than it does to drop. Took mine 30min to go from 4,000 torpor back to max.

How to tame a giga u ask? Ez get 4 metal gates place 3 of them in a box don't place the last one put 2 bear traps inside lead the giga to u make it stuck in a bear trap place the metal gate boom 💥 u trapped it and then knock it out put 200 narcotics put some quetzal kibbles boom again u have a giga

All I’m going to say is if you are using a crossbow is bring a spare cross in inventory and pack hundreds of tranqs I had to re-trap and shoot five times because I would run out of arrows or my crossbow would break, save yourself the trouble and prepare. If you have a mid check the narcotics.

If u don’t wanna waste all ur metal, use a few crossbows with tranq arrows. 3 primitive crossbows and about 300 tranq arrows work 4 me.

A simple trick once it’s down is to wait until it’s torpor is under 5% or so and then spam feed as many narcotics as you have. This should keep it down for the whole taming cycle as it’s torpor increases MUCH SLOWER than it decreases.

Have fun with ur new Giga!

Idiots just grapple on a cliff and parachute then shoot 20000 traq arrow if it don’t work it’s pissed so just give up

I recommend using a trap, I learnt the hard way
