Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a giganotosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a giganotosaurus.
If you're on a server with no offline damage lure it a inactive tame and build metal gates around it. No need for a bear trap and it wont turn and 1 Bute you if you're slow with building.
Once tamed dont hit it or it will go rouge
(Part one: when your taming something big) Wow! I haven't seen so many dodos I'm my entire life! Not seen any so good looking either. Maybe if I give her... -other man appears- uh..what are you doing? -back to first man- nothing! -to other man- dude, you have to check out this new compound bow! The range on it is crazy! -shoots arrow-
If you have good movement speed even if you aggro the giga you can outrun it. Run towards other dinos and the giga will usually stop and eat the other dinos. Just make sure you don't get stuck on a tree!
Easy u can tame it ass soon as u can craft longneck metal dino geate beartrap and tranq dart ( croosbow and tranq aroow is bad but still ok if u want to use them) find one on a flyer trap it knock it and feed it arnd 2000 nacroberry 1000 nacrotic like bring a lot even extra as u cant predict their torpor it losses 5000 torpor in seconds and feed it anything u want to feed and then enjoy ur giga ( kind of useless but 1 is a neccesity for endgame seriously
I think these guys are stronger then carchas only for brute strengh, carchas are good for speed and strengh but giga is way stronger for fights,but harder to tame tho
I have no words basically try and trap it by watching a vid or something
Just grab some carrots and tame a horse easy KO
I don't recommend taming this,Bro it almost killed me wild and then I tamed it was so weak Not enough stamina and you can't level it up doesn't make any difference.but damage is good and movement speed slow
You have about 13:40 until its torpor starts to drain between iterations of 100 narcotics (this is if the torpor is not maxed out). You have exactly 20 sec before the torpor starts to drain if its maxed out. This was discovered on ASA Ragnarok official settings for PVE no bonus.
Ok guys. So ive been flying around with my argy in the snow biome for a high lvl yuty and came across this lvl135 giga. I tamed him with 5 Crossbows first like idk 400 tranq arrows went into his skull but then he ran from torpor so body shot it was so i dont accidentally miss. In total i shot like 475 arrows since my 5th Crossbow was still alive. Now hes MINE! THE OVERSIZED CHICKEN IS MINE! And i had 260 tranqs left and 3 Crossbows… I was too poor for shocking tranqs but if u have some time and youre poor like me use crossbows and never and i repeat NEVER stop shooting. DONT U DARE TO RUN AROUND TO HIT HIM IN THE HEAD WHEN HES RUNNING. I missed couple if shots but there was a lower passage down my feet sooooo yeahh. Goodluck!
Nowadays it’s become known that billboards work just as gateways. Tried it on evolved and it worked perfectly. 4 metal billboards and a bear trap.
Never fight a tamed against a wild unless you have mods to change it back to original hp for taming use 4-8 to make a trap of shape of your choice (if you’re unexperience using more is fine but leave 1 or 2 sides open and put a large bear trap when he is stuck in the trap finish the shapes sides i usually bring 6 with me just incase
If u want to knock this beast of an animal fast and efficiently u will need the following.
Upgrade station
Longneck rifle damage: 400 or more
About 200-300 narcotics
Arkomatic meat spoiler
Arkomatic terrateriam(grows crops more so put narcoberry seed in here need about 2-3 of these bad boys).
Discovery wyvern from the discovery mod(or just a regular wyvern with good health and stamina)
About 100 tranq darts
A backup wyvern(for if the other one dies)
Awesome spyglass
Extra narcotics(if giga is above level 125
And last but not least common sense
Hope this helps:)
Good luck
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!
Instatame admin command is forcetame if you want to tame it the right way well good luck with that
Here's a 2nd way to tame it in mobile first get 4 metal gates ride a frog or raptor a giga won't aggro on u if u ride a creature casually put the gates around it don't worry it won't attack u just don't attack it once u trap it knock it feed it boom tamed
I tamed a 145 level giga with a master craft bow which broke while knocking it sadly and a journeyman crossbow with hundreds of tranq arrows😎
Listen over all it’s not that hard:
1-get times 10 soothing balm
2-stock up on trank arrows
3-find giga in wild (wooded areas and along beaches)
4-find a high place to lure it to where it can’t attack you
5-shoot it with trank arrows
6-when it is tranked put lots of narcotics meat and the soothing balm in it’s inventory
7-build a wall around it so other animals or players can’t kill it
8-once it is tamed put a saddle on it and ride back home
For taming these beast I would use raw prime meat on mobile and a large bear trap and lots of narcoberry or narcotic
