Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a giganotosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a giganotosaurus.
Make a 3 by 5 out of metal fence foundations with the skinny side facing the giga then stack FOUR high metal door frames all around and on the side closest to giga place down pillars made of wood and a wood ramp going on the side of giga then lure the giga up the ramp with a flyer and knock it out

To kill it, knock it out and kill it in its sleep. You don't stand a chance otherwise
On Ragnarok, they spawn in the Highlands, (top right of the map, with the lighthouse and the huge fields) Also, flocks of sheep spawn around there too, making it easy to gather mutton. I've seen a group of 8 once, and then a giga came and chomped 'em all down.
150 Tranc Darts later and he didn’t KO like the info says he drops after 46 . I used 150 and he’s still up , you should probably update the info cause that isn’t right js .
Tamed one don’t let it go in the water or like me sharks eat it
I got hands on experience taming a giga with a pro. Words of advice summed up; get the giga trapped or stuck. On The Island you can use most mountainsides to your advantage. Use metal normal sized dino gates to keep it still (lure it into the trap before adding the last gate). Unlike carno, rex, allo, or yutyrannus running on foot and taking a few bites while knocking out a giga is a recipe for disaster.
Place 3 gates lure him in let your friend place the gate behind them if you have no friend place bear traps. Make sure the gates are from metal they can damage stone.
1Grab tranqs (amount depends on level) and a longneck and at least 100 narcotics
2Get double the amount of tranqs and narcotics you have after step one
3 get even more tranq darts and narcotics
4Bring a good meat gathering dino and tell it to stop nearby (but not too close or it dies) to the giga.
5Bring tapajara or argy (or any bigish flyer) with a saddle
6Grapple onto flyer (make sure it’s on stop)
7shoot the giga from really high up
8when giga runs tell flyer to attack giga so you can keep up with it
9 knockout the giga and starve it
10while starving, use your meat dino to kill nearby prime dinos
11feed the giga the prime meat (keep it uncontious and don’t go too far)
You have tamed a giga in the worst possible way! Congratulations! Seriously this does work… i think.
Found a level 145, took over 200 shocking tranq darts and put 100 exceptional kibble in its inventory but the MF woke up, did the exact same thing again and it still woke up!!! It then took a rocket launcher to the face. 2 hours of my life I’ll never get back
Need taming calculators for the R-giga.
On mobile for some reason it won’t show how much torpor it has when u look at it with spy glass if anyone knows why plss answer it
I tamed one because of a glitch the gigs sat on a rock while I just shot it in the face the whole time didn’t run or move but he’s still tamed
Taming tip:
Don’t it’s too much effort for a carnivore that one highish drop will forget everything and rip you up into little Bob nuggets
To kill it
First:tame 40 max lvl dimorphodon's.
Second:go to a mountain.
Last: have fun you can kill a big fat boss.
You can get a giga at lvl 62 ark mobile first step run Valcano cave speed run don’t even look back at the bugs when you get the artifact let them kill you go tribute it get a rifle asc get like 60 darts get 4 metal gates trap the giga dart it once down get get ur 10x balm ready get prime it will take 1 or 4 boom you got a giga then just speed run the cave of the strong with a grapple it’s ezzzz
So my buddy and I are playing Ark on PS4. Tried to tame a Lvl 6 Giga while on a Tapejara. My buddy pumped at least 150 tranqs into the beast and nothing happened. Are you not allowed to tame while on a flying mount????
So hard to knock out but if you use at least crossbow you can knock this out at lvl 1 in a hower then get extrodenay cibble I tamed mine with meat tho.
\_/ how the trap should look like
It is best if you lure your giga to a cliff where you can shoot from far above and where of course there are few other dinosaurs to I'm you can shoot with a pterosaur for example with an agentavis the best with files and a lot of egg feed drinks. I have always asked myself a teimer who the gigaeider nacotick needs.
Try not to die while trapping the Giga, if you die too close to it even if it’s trapped it’ll just continue to munch on you while trying to retrieve your bag. Also put beds nearby to make it easier for yourself.
