How do I tame a giganotosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a giganotosaurus.
Are you looking for a strong mount? Cool if you wanna tame a Giga just follow these simple steps and follow the requirements so you can have a Giga!
Lets start packing!
REQUIREMENTS FOR THE TAME AND FOR YOUR OWN SAFTEY
-Ascendant/Journeyman Long-neck Rifle (Has to have good Durability not damage bcuz it might kill the Giga.)
-x3-x6 Quetz Kibble (You can buy a cheif station on mobile and get quetz kibble or search the recipie in YT.)
-Shocking Tranq Darts/Normal Tranq Darts
-Giganotasaurus Saddle (The Saddle for the Giga is only unlocked when your Lvl 98.)
-Ascendant Flak armor would be appreacieated since Gigas have a Gnash Effect-(Bleed Effect.)
-Good Stat Mount (Keep them safe from any saboor or direwolf or any dangourous carnivores and make sure that the stats are good with good HP, Stam, and speed.)
-Trap (If you want it the hard way then just tame it with out a trap or place three behomoth gate ways and trap the Giga or do the normal trap. ⚠️NOTE⚠️: This is very risky with out a trap or taming it with tatch tier wood tier and stone tier it will break all of those but not metal so trust me use metal!)
-3-4 Stacks of Bio or 5-7 Stacks of Narcotics.
Alrighty! Lets get started on taming this Land Mosa!
-Step 1: Find a Giganotasaurus (Gigas can be found on Mountains and the Snowy Mountains too.)
-Step 2: Build your trap and lure the Giga in! (Make sure its Metal Tier and has a Large bear Trap.)
-Step 3: Put your mount somewhere safe and put it on neutral and Tranq your Giga! (Gigas have 80k-100k Torpor so be prepared.)
-Step 4: Once your Giga is KO"d feed it Meat or Quetzal Kibble and put your Bio-Toxin Or Narcotics.
-Step 5: Just keep clearing the area while taming the Giga.
Yeay!!!! You have tamed the 3rd Apex Predator of the Island! 🦖🦖🏇🥳🥳
Now lets showcase the Gigas Abilities and Disablities!
ABILITY 1- Giganotosauruses have a Gnash Effect A.K.A Bleed effect which drops enemies creatures HP up to 30%! So when a Giga does that and when you still avoided it youll still be lossing HP.
ABILITY 2- These creatures are not very behaved they are likely to kill everything even theyre rider when they fall into a very deep slope this ability is called Rage Mode.
Now for the Dissablities!
DISSABILITES
DISSABLITY 1- The Giga Saddle can be only unlovked on lvl 98 so if you tamed a giga while still lvl 87 or 71 ya"ll still need the Saddle to ride it but luckily when your at Mobile and you have lots of amber saved you can buy an Tannery and just get enough thingys in the Tannery to buy a Journeyman Giga Saddle!
Thanks for reading my Guide hope ya"ll have a great day! 😁😄😃 and take care! :')

You know I was soooo prepared that health gets nerffed from 80 000 to 17 000. I'm cool with that, but NO ONE has EVER SAID that BASE DAMAGE GOES DOWN FROM 100 TO JUST 20???? My G O D. My hard work is just... useless. (ARK mobile)
Naa me not tame giga. today me go tame giga with 150 tranq aroow- a normal person who's English is very dengerous.
If you are on mobile here is a tip for you
Craft 4 big billboard and then craft a 7 giant bear trap place it on flat surface and also kill all the carnivores around you so i it won't disturb during your taming procession, put 3 big billboards around, and left some one big Billboard on your hotbar then put the 7 giant bear trap, if you have trapped the giga on the 3 billboards with 7 bear trap go patch the last billboard. Warning! If the torpor of the giga are almost full he can flea away but it won't hurt you instead he is the one who would be scared. Fact☝🏻.big billboards won't get damaged for some reason and it's important for trapping any dinos. Sorry for my grammar just trying too help😁
Do you want to tame this huge dinosaur? Well, I have just the taming guide for you! There are 2 sections: Mobile Taming and PC Taming. Since PC Taming is more popular, I’ll start with that first;
REQUIREMENTS:
Ascendant Crossbow/Rifle, Tranq Ammo, 1 or 2 LARGE Bear Traps, Bio Toxin (Quantity Depends On Level), and 4 Metal Gateways. You’ll also need lots of Kibble!
FIND YOUR GIGA:
Get on an Argy and find your Giga. Make sure the Giga is a decent level!
SET UP TRAP:
Place 3 Metal Gateways in a box formation like this; \_/. However, don’t place it tilting outwards, unlike that of what is shown in the picture. Just make it a perfect box with an opening. Make sure to leave gaps between the Gateways so the Giga fits through! Leave a bear trap or 2 in the middle to immobilize the Giga.
LURE THE GIGA:
Shoot the Giga and immediately get on your Argy. Try to lead the Giga into the trap. Once it is trapped, place the final Gateway in the opening so that the Giga does not escape.
KNOCKOUT:
Use the weapon of choice and prepare to knock out the Giga. You will need tons of Tranq Ammo for this, so make sure to bring a lot! Shoot every 3 seconds or so. IMPORTANT: Do not miss shots while knocking out the Giga!
TAMING THE GIGA:
Get your absurd amount of Kibbles and Toxins and start taming! Do not leave your tame unmonitored, as the Giga drains torpor way faster than the Therizino or Rex. Have a tribemate to help guard the Giga if you have one available.
I hope this version helped a lot of people! Now let’s see how to tame a Giga on Mobile. I promise this version is very straightforward;
DISCLAIMER: The way I tame Mobile Gigas is very specific, so if you want a more general way to tame one, seek a friend to help you.
REQUIREMENTS:
Soothing Balm, 1-2 Behemoth Dinosaur Gateway set, 75 Bio Toxin or larger, Ascendant Crossbow/Rifle, and Tranq Ammo. You’ll also need Quetzal Kibble (at least 2), so consider making lots of jerky before taming!
FIND YOUR GIGA:
Find a Giga near the snow mountains.
LURE THE GIGA:
Get on an Argy and carry prey. Wild Gigas will not agro on mounted creatures. They will also not accidentally attack your tame either, since they only attack the prey that your Argy is holding. But they will attack and kill your Argy if you do attack them or agro them! I have confirmed this, try it yourself! Lead it to a cliff or mountain, which will be used as the other walls of the trap! If you feel like the Giga will just climb the cliff or go onto the sides of the mountain, you’re probably right. Leave the prey onto a ledge so the Giga does not leave!
TRAP THE GIGA:
Place the Behemoth Gateway(s) and Gate(s) to trap the Giga. Do not unmount your Argy while doing this, or else it will agro on you! At this point, the prey may have fallen down or the Giga has left. Make sure to place them quick!
KNOCKOUT:
If you can’t shoot the Giga on the ledge you are on, build a platform with thatch. Make sure to knock out the Giga quick, or else it will break the Gate!
TAME THE GIGA:
Use the Soothing Balm and Quetzal Kibble. Use Bio Toxin as well. If you use a mountain and it is too slippery, place a structure! I almost lost my Giga to this.
I hope this final result helped! I am not the best at making guides, but I will try my best when it comes to helping the community. I hope you like 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!!!
Materials -
4-8 metal billboards
2-4 bear traps
Design - you want to put the bill boards in a square so one infront of the giga, to its right, left, and behind. Place 3 bill boards like this |_| and 2 bear traps in the trap, then lead the giga to the trap and put one billboard behind it. Then just knock it out and 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.
Step 1: Take 100 rare mushrooms
Step 2: charge giga with 2 clubs (1 backup)
Step 3: Tame giga
It’s simple people.
When wild Gigas are tamed they lose about 80% of their stats.
The only real way to tame a giga is using a trap because missing one shot or letting run for even a bit too long can make you have to waste 10 more shots
The numbers they give you are way off. If it says 500 dart's take 1000 or 1500 just to be sure.
Legends uses fists to knock one out.
Help me with tameing the gigs I got knocked out right now it need help!
To tame these, put 3 metal dinosaur gateway and keep in mind to put a large bear trap in the middle as well. Now, lure the giga in and put another dinosaur gateway behind the giga so it is trapped in place. Use a longneck rifle with tranquilizer darts to make it knocked out. Not that this will take a while. After knocked out, feed it lots of narcotics and raw prime meat. Enjoy your giganotosaurus! Pls click the green button if you like it. Thanks
Since someone else said how to tame a giga, I will try to give another option if you don’t have some of those things and how you can get them :)
1. Get any flier (choose one with quite a bit of health, speed, and stamina)
2. Get your taming gear including 4 metal gateways, and a bear trap (maybe a spare just in case)
3. Find the giga you want and fly away a bit till you find a flat spot to lay your trap
4. Make a square with one side open (you should of only used 3 gateways), and put a bear trap right in the middle
5. Lure your giga in (this might take a while since it’s a small trap, so that’s why you need good stamina)
6. As soon as it’s in the trap, dismount your creature and run behind the giga to the open side of the square
7. Quickly place the last metal gateway so it seals off the giga from escaping (you will probably take quite a bit of damage so bring good armor)
8. Get far away and shoot your ammo at it till it hits the floor!
9. I would recommend using a 10x soothing balm (you can get this easily by tributing the artifact of the hunter (easy to get with a good gun and if you go around smartly, but please remember you don’t always get a soothing balm, so it may take 2 or 3 tries)
10. Feed it prime meat (it saves you lots of time)
11. Make sure it’s safe and make sure it stays asleep
12. Enjoy your giga!
*pachy and giga knockout jokes*
cantex: and i took that personally
*makes video of lvl 1000 pachy vs giga*
There is a cheap way to trap and knock out a giga
What you need:
1.) Find a flat surface (so that the trap works well)
2.) Get 4-5 metal billboards
3.) Get a flyer that can carry some creatures (e.x. argy, quetzal)
5.)A small creature that can place the billboard while mounted (e.x. dire wolf or raptor)
6.) Soothing balm X10 (if you are on mobile)
7.) Prime meat and Quetzal Kibble/Exceptional Kibble
8.) LOTS OF NARCOTICS/BIO TOXIN
And 9.) Lots of tranq arrows/tranq darts
Setting up the trap:
Find a flat surface with no creature in it then place 3 metal billboards at this shape \_/, after that go and pick up a creature so that the giga chase you then once its in the trap go and far away and ride the small creature (get far away so that the giga doesnt aggro to you) then place the billboard on the back and voila you have trapped the giga [Test if the giga is really trapped by making it chase you], lasty knock out the giga and maintain its torpor.
(Hope this helps)
Found mine around LAT 22.9 LON 48.9
Lvl 125 female tamed it with about 2*40 pieces of reg meat 10% per bite with with about 1000 -3000 bio toxin
Took about 100 darts and 100 arrows to knock hope this helps (and one 10% soothing balm)
Since the calc doesn’t show darts for some reason... A 150 took 200 darts from a 177 longneck. Hope this helps someone
