Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a giganotosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a giganotosaurus.
From experience, three key things to focus on when taming: 1.) Always bring 400-500 extra narcotics and tranq arrows/darts. 2.) Never put kibble in a dino's inventory. 3.) Lure it away from any water. When it is knocked out, give it 1 narcotic every 2-3 seconds and every 5-10 minutes, look around and check for any hostile dino's.
When applying narcotics to your knocked out giga use your dododex app beforehand to find out how low to let it's torpor drop to apply the suggested nacortics all at once. Then all you would need to do is sit and watch. it would also be a good idea to have extra narcotics/tranqs you can never be overprepared!
For a low level giga trap it in a circle of stone dinosaur gates, for a high level use metal. The torpor of a giga drops about 200/second so if you stop shooting it it will lose it all. It's possible to solo tame, though the more you have the less time it will take to knock down. You should use darts, always bring a couple extra hundred.
Don't use a long neck to knock it out. A crossbow is much more effective because of its shorter reload time. Using a long neck will waste a ton of tranq darts.
An easy way to tame/knockout a giga is to, craft 4 metal dinosaur gateways with a large bear trap. You place 3 of the gateways in a square shape spread a few inches from each other. Then place the large bear trap in the middle. Then with an argy or ptera pick up a dodo and lure the giga into the center of the gates to get trapped by the trap then jump off and place the last Dino gate in the open area and the giga will be trapped and able to shoot and tamed:)
Do not swim with your giga they do not like that don't swim to carno island may kill it
So the beat way to tame a giga would be to use the grapple hook. It allows you to hang over the giga and keep his attention on you and not other dinos around you. You want to either use a quetz or argy and have a buddy fly it. Also once the giga is down allow his torpor to drop to the last bit and pump him full of narcotics using the amount the app specifies. It will save you a lot of trouble and you can literally go do anything else for a solid hour.
As an alpha, I knocked it with a bow, at level 70, without any traps. I have proof lol

the only things u need is about 100-200 toxic arrows on a crossbow cause they rapid fire and 5 quetz kibble. then u tame in under 10 min. oh yeah and bring 2 crossbows and a mount
With a good enough rifle and darts, taming is relatively simple, especially if you have a desmodus. Being able to shoot from the back of a small agile flyer and move up/down easily makes KO very quick
Hey if you want to lure a giga in your trap just pick a animal with the help of a flyer go close a nd it will follow you don't use wooden dinosaur gateway it will take approx 245 tranqs
Tomorrow the day, or at least it is supposed to be. 210 R-Giga, it is posible?! We will see…!

Ice 🧊 biome on the island. up if u found one in ice 🧊:)
Knocked out a giga with a catapult turret on tge back of my quetz
This method works great for taming! Knocked out WAY faster! Save your tranqs! Not worth the amount of time and resources you use for tranqs!
Use 2 metal dino gateways with doors, 2 metal behemoth gates with doors, and 4 large bear traps to keep it trapped long enough to close the door
Keep just enough space for you to squeeze your character through the cracks
It'll be too busy attacking the structure and you can walk right up to it with a magnifying glass at it's foot
Sit in front of it with your quetz at a safe distance and aim for its head
Feed mutton for quick taming if you don't have kibble, but on most servers, you should let it starve a little first for best effectiveness
We tamed ours on Just Survive cluster Ragnarock on ps4 ^^
You should join! Just tell them Church sent you ^^
If I were you guys I would use arrows and Mastercraft or ascendant crossbow cuz of reload timer
People who say YOU NEED to knock these out they are WRONG! You need to go up to it and hit it with a club an it will instantly tame. Up so noobs can see.
Normal narcoberries are cheaper then narcotics
You’s metal gates and large bear traps
BOOM! HOW TO SINGLE-SHOT TAME GIGAS:
(PRO TIP: USE A GIGA TRAP, 4 METAL DINO GATES AND USE A BARY OR RAPTOR TO TRAP IT BY ITS FEET!)
1. Get a super low lvl Giga (I did lvl 1 cuz I'm a dummy)
2. Quetzal Kibble or prime meat. RECOMMENDED QUETZAL KIBBLE
3. KO Giga
4. 10X SB or higher and shove bio toxin down it's throat
5. U a pro now. Now all of China knows you're here!
