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

I've tamed hundreds of giga. This "IS" the best trap.
As for everything else, bring 2x the amount of supplies that you think you will need.
I had a giga glitch on me once and instead of just the 87 shocking tranqs, it took the 100 tranq arrows I happened to have on me...flew back to my base got 400 more and put 200 more tranq arrows into it. Enjoy your new Giga!
However many narcos you think you need, triple it and then add another thousand
Hatching a giga egg in an incubator with full boost is simple. Use 44 heat. IT WILL WORK.
The giga is a pretty hard tame if your wanting one. Gigas can destroy lots of stuff, and it has a okay speed. Get a ton of darts and aim for the head, you might also want to stand on a mountain. Bring a lot of narcotics with you, your gonna need it. Add a soothing thing with it as well you can tame with raw meat (normal) if you want but it takes longer. Stock up on food. Also try to keep it safe because for me these guys spawn mainly near mountains and there’s a bunch of threats there. Try your best to keep it safe and safe taming!
The way I've learned to tranq Dino's is to wait about 4 seconds between shots to let torpor rise, DO NOT DO IT WITH THIS GUY. Shoot as fast as you can reload and pull the trigger.
If you wanna find a giga (old mobile), tidy your save so these fellas can spawn, i found 2 near the frozen teeth. Just don't dismount your tame and you'll be fine..
Riding a giga
Fall off a cliff
giga raged
you run
You don’t have enough speed to out run it
you hear foot step behide you
It’s getting closer
AHHHHHHHHHHH
You actually just need 3 metal dino gates and a large bear trap to knock a giga , first just place 2 metal gates like a top of triangle / \ . Then put the large bear trap next to the little gap between the gates , lure the giga into the trap. Then put the last Metal dino gate behind it as fast as possible and just make sure the gap isnt really big /_\ . Shoot it with about 150 tranq arrows and bring 200 biotoxin
Don’t even bother using normal weapons, use ascendant crossbows/longnecks from lava cave.
Pump like 1000 narco into it as soon as u down it that way you can go do stuff
If you want a giga you absolutely need to trap it so here is my guide.
For the trap you will need 1x behemoth metal gate
6x regular metal gates and three bear traps
For placement place the big gate facing in the direction of the big boi
Then put the smaller gates in a triangle shape on the other side then put three bear traps Down because if something happens and one gets loose another one will catch it then lure the giga into the trap a fire away. Ps if you can try to use a good longneck or crossbow this will make it a lot faster personally I had an ascendant longneck with 423% dmg and it took 65 darts for a level 55 female and keep at least 200 narcotics on you the torpor drain is crazy. -potato
Next: argy
Hit that good button so peeps can see.
Make sure to clear the area from threats as it is a knockout tame. This thing is a rare spawn on mountains. I recommend tranq darts and a longneck rifle to knock it out best bet is kibble to feed it.(torpor lowers quick so bring a lot narcotics hope this helps
I recommend if you’re raising a baby there food drains really fast sometimes and mine died so, I use potent dust in their inventory and put all 50 of the levels into its food and then after that potent dust into the rest of their stats. Really helpful for not babysitting and actually going around and doing other things
Your gunna need tranks lots of tranks
Bring bio toxin because this mofo be waking up quicker than your drunk friend when you tried to draw on his face while he was asleep
I would recommend a tame that can survive a couple hits from a giga and 4/5 Dino gates that are metal and 3/4cross bows just in case and lots of nars they wake up fast so get the giga to agro on the tame run in trap move far enough away so giga can’t hit tame sneak behind giga then place last gate then rest is up to you hope this was helpful 🦖🦕😄
Alright get ready for a fighter here.
1: Get a lot of shocking tranqs, ofc with the longneck rifle
2: Have a nice flier just incase, preferably an argie
3: Build a trap for the giga or camp a mountain.
4: Make sure you have kibble/prime meat to tame it
5: Shoot it till knocked out
6: Feed it prime/kibble
7: Enjoy! Hope this helped 😊
Very easy tame, use 3 metal Dino gates with a bear trap in the middle, lead it in on foot then run around the back and close it up with a 4th.
Looking for a action filled knockout and taming process, you found the right creature, For anybody who does not know or wants to know, I recommended reading this tip, I have tamed 2 gigas on singleplayer, and 3 of them on mutiplayer, anyways starting of with number 1. Giganotasaurus is a VERY, very dangerous predator, When severely damaged by a single attack it will activate its Rage buff, this buff makes its bite almost twice as deadly, gains a slight speed boost, and will automatically aggro on basically ANYTHING, I think if there were two gigas and one was raged, they would try and kill each other, Even killing one isn’t an option, the typical wild Giga starts with 80,000 health, and (I think) it has 150 melee dmg, and from what I know, they do 400 dmg per 100 md, sodevide that by 2 your thinking somewhere about 600 dmg per a single bite.
Up next is number 2, Make your move. Taming this beast is actually easier said than done, I suggest a quetz as your pet for taming this beast, as It can carry a lot of equipment you WILL need for taming, you need to prepare to tame this, the cheapest trap you can use is stone, know the higher the lvl the more dmg it does per second, so don’t use stone for high levels, I (most of the time) use metal Dino gateways, as they cannot destroy it, also bring 3 beartraps, a few stacks of narcotics, (or a lot of bio toxin) As much arrows and spare cross bows, or bows because if that one breaks game over, you can’t fly back to base and expect it to have the same amount of torpor as before. Bring a weapon of choice, for defending yourself from other creatures during or after knockout, I find swords or high ranking axes or rifles to work quite nicely, these creatures like quetz kibble, so definently consider making some, it’s expensive but worth making rather than crying that it takes so long to tame without it, make sure to pack urself food, and water (I use veggies as they do both) make sure u have decent ranking equipment such as: apprentice, journeymen, master craft as they inflict more torpor, thus lowering the tranqs needed.
And finnaly number 3. Location and apprehension. Finding one is hard if you don’t know where to look, I find them quite common arround the mountains of the island, most commonly in the arctic peaks, or the grand hills, Once you find a Giga find a flat area and place the trap, leave space in the corners of each one so that 1, the Giga cannot get out, and 2 it will get in the trap easier. DO NOT place all of them down, place 3 in a box shape, and save the last one for later, one the gates are down, place the beartraps and spread them out inside the trap one ready this brings us to 4. Lure the Giga in a straight path with no obstacles (removing them safely will be less obstructions that might send the Giga to the wrong direction) one inside the trap, insure that it is stuck in the trap (it will be looking down and head tilted and biting down on the trap) now fly behind it with your flying pet, and place down the final gate behind it forming a box arround the Giga that will not give way, or let the giga out, this will make taming the giganotasaurus easier, next grab a few bows or crossbows, and as much tranqs as you can carry, do not use rifles for darts, it takes longer for it to knock out because of its long reload time, and does not have a headshot torpor multiplier, crossbows and bows work better, grab one stack of narcs, and as much tranqs u can carry without becoming easy prey for other animals, now you can safely begin the knockout process, once knocked out, take all of ur narcs (100) and stuff 50 of it in to give you time to grab the rest of the supplies, 10 quetz kibble should be enough for a lvl 100 or lower, the more the safer chance of taming it, check on it every 20 or so seconds to make sure it’s torpor is not going down, it loses 500 torpor per second so stay vigilant. Enjoy your new tamed Giga!! I really hope this info helped you! Up if helpful! 👍👍👍
