Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a giganotosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a giganotosaurus.
require a ton of ammo to knock
How once found a gigs on the frozen tooth so it could be any mountain area on the island map they can spawn
Found mine around LAT 22.9 LON 48.9
Lvl 125 female tamed it with about 2*40 pieces of reg meat 10% per bite with with about 1000 -3000 bio toxin
Took about 100 darts and 100 arrows to knock hope this helps (and one 10% soothing balm)
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
However many narcos you think you need, triple it and then add another thousand
How to tame a giga:
First you will need around 100-400 tranqs depending on its level (shocking tranqs are a good choice but spoil)
Also a good rifle (ascendant or any around their) and make sure you time each shot around 3-5 seconds
It's also recommended if U use a good flyer with decent health just in case it gets bit and high stamina and speed.
You can also make a trap if needed
Their torpor goes down quick so you will need lots of the sleeping stuff and you call also use soothing balm or sanguine made from 200 blood packs in a tamed Dracula's inventory.
That's all I can do rn, good luck!!

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!
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.
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!
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
Hatching a giga egg in an incubator with full boost is simple. Use 44 heat. IT WILL WORK.
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
Pump like 1000 narco into it as soon as u down it that way you can go do stuff
Don’t even bother using normal weapons, use ascendant crossbows/longnecks from lava cave.
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
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..
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.
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 🦖🦕😄
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.
