This is the second most fearsome dino in ark, with the first being the dodo

Bring as many narcotic/bio toxin and Tranq arrow as you can.

If you're on a cliff and see a giga good advice run like a pit bull is after you in real life

Trust me on dodoex the giga maturation time is waaay off

So this thing’s torpor drops very fast not only when it is KO-d, so don’t use normal tranq darts, better to use a good xbow or shocking darts, and don’t forget to kibble tame, and bring extra resources!!

Yous a jr long neck rifle I was able to tame a level 100 with a cp bow and bio arrows with not 1 tame in site nor a sinlgle trap

To passive tame a giga you have to wear ghille and feed it your argies ,should take about 3 argys to tame

Get them stuck on icebergs that are floating and they will not lose oxygen but make sure to have enough darts. Prime meat will help as well if you dont have kibble.

Its actually friendly just give the B.F.G kibble 😀

140 tranq darts did not work make a trap it runs don't chase

If you want to tame it with cheats use

admincheat summon gigan_ character_bp_c

Stay at a far distance from your new Giga

Only 893 punches. You got this, bro.

Unless you plan on breeding these guys or doing some serious raiding the Giga isn’t for you my friend. They’re slow with terrible stamina and just ok-ish health, wyverns with a full imprint or Rex/Tek Rex can hit just as hard and move faster: save yourself the 500 some odd arrows.

Don’t:

-Tame at low level

-Tame without saddle

-Tame without traps or gates

Do

-?

There’s actually an even easier way to trap one of these on mobile than using large bear traps. Basically, when no other animal is near a giga, it will just stand still. On mobile, gigas are actually not aggressive to all tamed creatures, so as long as you don’t hit it or dismount from your tame, you can ride right up next to a wild giga and it won’t even care about you. What I did is I waited for the giga to clear all animals in an entire area and stand still and I flew up to it on my pteranodon and placed 4 metal gates around its foot while it stood still like an idiot. By the time it started moving again it was already trapped. Ez tame afterwards.

I did this at only lvl 63 btw.

Just remember when leading them into the trap to stand atleast 3km away. Any less and they still manage to kill you.

If your on a steep enough mountain they can get over a dinosaur gateway wish I knew this before I tried to tame one

The simplest way to get unlimited shooting balm ×10:

1.Get the "Artefact of the hunter" for go directly to the artefact container just go <---

2.Tribute the artefact he Wil give you ascendant metal pickaxe / axe (blueprint), a ascendant fishing rod, some ascendant hide armor (blueprint) better armor than a flak, better fortitude than pelt armor.

3.from the 2nd tribute you will earn a shooting balm×10 and again some things

I aleardy have over 21 shooting balm ×10, I used over 34 for gigas, spino, rex, quetzal, mosasaur and more.

IF HE WILL DOESN'T GIVE YOU SHOOTING BALM : repeat 2.

Have about 20 titanoboas

It will noc it out in 20 minutes
