Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a giganotosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a giganotosaurus.
On mobile you just need this a compound bow can get it with arthro and 4 metal gate 1 large bear trap and when you trapped it spam it with tranq arrows give it some soothing balm 10x and make sure you pack a good amount of bio toxin and now you have a trash giga with 18000 hp instead of 80000 hp
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.
I recommend using a trap, I learnt the hard way
It takes me a long time to tame them
I knocked out A GIGA with horses
I had to tame 100 of them
It makes it a lot easier to tame when it's tamed on 2x weekend !
If it gets to 2000 vote then I will knock it out with fists no god/cheats. I will put vid in somewhere I will figure it out
you need 200 biotoxic minimum to tame giga
Do not use Raw meat!!!!!!!!!! Use it's preferred kibble or raw prime meat, if you give it raw meat it melee damage will be terrible taming effect is very low..... so if you want a good Giga I suggest using prime meat raw mutton or exceptional kibble.
Don’t even bother using normal weapons, use ascendant crossbows/longnecks from lava cave.
You HAVE to trap these things, it is not negotiable, you don’t trap it you will find yourself killed, I would recommend having 3 metal dinosaur gates, and a large bear trap place 2 in a sort of triangle position /\ then place the bear trap in between them, lure the Giga into the bear trap and run to the back of the trap and place a gate down behind it, then it is stuck, make sure to bring around 250 tranq darts if it’s a high lvl, don’t come unprepared or the Giga will regen all its torpor, also make sure it is stuck in the trap, don’t instantly get off your mount or it will most likely Aggro on you and that’s a terrifying experience where your heart rate accelerates 200, also keep your distance, their bite range is crazy, and that’s about every tip I have for Giga taming, also, only pump points into melee.
Make a trap shaped like this (spaced out) _
Then place two large bear traps (or more) | |
Then lead giga into trap, then quickly place| |
The last Metal (has to be metal) gateway and boom its trapped! Also gigas are most commonly found by mountains! Hope this helped!
A Giga doesn’t do exactly 500 damage if you have armor. Giga’s also can’t damage metal gateways so building a few of those and create a circle with them, trap him inside and boom you basically have a giga, just make sure to have enough narcotics or bio toxins cuz they wake up hella fast. They get nerfed hella when tamed as well so don’t expect this over powered Dino when taming lol
Bug on official right now the torpor will drop even if your slamming narcotics. Fix to this is starve tame and it will be nice and easy to keep asleep.
With sanguine elixer and instead of using exceptional kibble use extraordinary kibble then it will tame really quick on official servers.
If you're on ragnarok and you find the giga that spawns in the highland, all you need is 6-8 metal dinosaur gates. Just lure him or her into the trench that runs across the center of the highlands north and south. You can create enough space while trapping by just blocking off the river and using the cliff walls to your advantage. Then you can sit above him on the cliff wall and torper him.
Once you have knocked out one of these beasts either have the food on you to begin with or have a friend who can get it while you. Sit there and feed it narcotics I swear you look away for ten seconds and it's dropped a quarter of its torpidity.
How to tame a Giga the "Expensive" way in Mobile (honestly a good idea, Idk on your idea)
Now, before you do Step 2, Make sure you have it's favorite kibble or the process will take longer, and if it DID took longer, pray to God that you have your Bio toxins with you, don't forget to bring A LOT of Tranq Darts and your Long Neck Rifle
Step 1: Tame a Quetzal using a Tapejara
Step 2: Use your Quetzal to Find a Giga (Quetzals are the reason why you encounter Gigas, also, Gigas mostly spawn in the Snow Mountains)
Step 3: Once you found the Giga of your desire, lead it into the ocean
Step 4: GET THE IMPLANT AS FAST AS YOU CAN!!!
Step 5: Once you got the implant, get back to your base and use your Tapejara, after that, go to the Green Obelisk and revive it there
Step 6: now that it's being revived, GET THE HAIL OUTTA THERE!!!
Step 7: Once it got revived, SHOOT IT!!! (Fyi, The Green Obelisk acts like your average Giga Trap)
Step 8: Now that's it's Knocked out, Shove those kibbles inside it's throat
Step 9: *You've Tamed a Giganotosaurus* Yay, No more 80k HP :D
Step 10: Don't Worry, You can hunt Rexes, Spinos, Paracers, Brontos and Alphas for Exp and use those to pump up it's HP (or Melee, Idk)
I hope this helps and worth the Amber :D
Giga gives very low damage to metal structures, so using a metal gateway or billboard will be a great idea.
Tamed an R-Giga today, Got me nearly 10 times before i knocked him out safe to say ill never to it again😃
