Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a giganotosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a giganotosaurus.
Taming a Oversized chicken nugget: (giga) 1: Make 9 metal foundations and put them in a SQUARE FORMATION. ALL 9 MUST BE USED! 2: Make 36 metal walls. I know it’s a lot but trust me. Stack the walls 3x3 on each outer foundation. 3: For trapping purposes, make 15 stone walls. Stack 3 on the 3 metal walls in front, and 1 strip of 3 stone walls connecting to the ones you placed down. 4: made wooden/metal ramps up the opposite side of the 3x3 stone walls. 5: clear out the area. It is essential to do this or the giga will run at other things making you annoyed as crap. 6: lure giga into trap. 7: grab 100-500 tranq darts. 8: tranq the giga and soothing balm 10x or 15x. Feed it prime meat or quetzal kibble. 9: go home and do ice cave for saddle if you don’t already have one. 10: enjoy your new favorite killer. P.S. BEFORE YOU DO THIS DO LAVA CAVE FOR ASCENDANT CROSSBOW AND SOUTH CAVE FOR SOOTHING BALM. -Stumpy. (Tamed his first giga with this method at level 68.)
If u want a high lvl giga like mine witch is lvl 2,400 u can use god console to lvl it up to 1,000 while its still awake when its asleep lvl it up to tame it faster and hive it more lvls when its tamed lvl it up as much as you want
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
You can cross breed with flying creatures to make flying gigas- very useful for harvesting cactus sap on the island - force feed it human feces for a power boost .
Do not face it trap it in a metal dino gateways and in the middle put a large bear trap
I shot 200 tranquilizer arrows into that gurgsplurt with a journey man crossbow and then when it broke, 100 tranquilizer arrows with a bow, then waited 5 minutes and nothing happened! It was level 4! Good luck.
FART ON IT THEN KICK IT THEN SHOOT IT WITH CATS THAT ARE FARTING
Honestly I have always wanted one of these. Then I found a lvl 10 and trapped him an knocked him out. After taming and build a saddle I took him out and was wanting to melt things but it just didn't happen. I have a decent lvl Rex that can out kill him.
The torpor will run out in about 15 seconds but the narcotics act like jerkey and last ages so if you want to tame him then prepare over a thousand narcotics and give them to him in sets of 50 and that'll give you about 8 minutes till next topup. For knockout have a fast dino ready and stand on a huge rock firing tranq arrows at him. Eventually he wi run away but set up in a place that he will run into the mountian then you can safely keep firing from behind. I did this at level 71 and damn I gotta wait till I'm level 96 to ride him.
Run Just run. But if you want to tame one
Use a shit ton of shocking darts and 2 longneck rifels with a tribe member
4 metal dino gates 3 large bear traps
All you need to do is say sorry for trespassing and walk away
Someone on my server was taming a ptera with fish meat And said "It sure is taking A long Time"Even if all the server told him to use normal meat,he kept saying that fish meat was faster.A week later,he was taming A giga with fish meat. I Never heard of him ever again.
Im the one who kills wild gigas with a phiomia.
A guy joined my tribe then unclaimed out Dinos and gave them to his mates so we lured a FIFA to his base and wrecked it and we camped their escape boat so every time they tried to flee with loot we knocked them out took the gear killed them and put it in a drop before u know it we had like 4 auto turrets but then the alphas attacked us and we lost it. When we did this tho we were just glad they didn't have a dodo as the giga would've died instantly
Only savages tame it with cooked fish meat. Be a savage
