Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a giganotosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a giganotosaurus.
How to tame one
1: get tons of narcotics and darts
2:find a good level
3: lure it to a cliff and start shooting
4: at one point it will start running away but it’s not close to knocked out
5:chase it down and die
6:try again
Use a cannon for easy KO (aim for head)
I have one of these bad boys tamed by my club named “ark lovers”
Upvot(e) if you want to join
All you really need to tame these guys is:
1.) A shelf in an island or mountain or wherever you find one
2.) A LOT of tranq darts/arrows
3.) LOTS of narcoberries/narcotics
4.) A decent amount of meat/kibble
First get on the cliff
Then lure it to the base of the cliff
Blow all your tranquilizers until it goes to sleep eventually
Fly down and put food and narcoberries/narcotics in its inventory
Wait, occasionally force feeding narcotics/narcoberries
🚨NOTE: THIS GUY LOSES TORPOR FAST, BE CAREFUL AND MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ENOUGH MATERIAL TO KEEP THIS GUY UNCONSCIOUS LONG ENOUGH!🚨

Easy to tame but hard to knock it out. Took me about 447 tranq arrows. Always use soothing balm on them. Takes like about 3 hours to tame when no soothing balm used. Feed a lot of bio toxin first in order to make it really hungry. Also give it quetz kibble.
Just punch it.

Don't tame low levels they aren't worth it
ForceTame it
Use electric prod works every time
Don't fret too much about the torpor decay. It's actually not that bad even though it's scary when you look at it. While the decay rate is incredibly fast. The recovery rate of narc is extremely slow comparatively. So while you'll have to rush it to drop you tranqs, wait until the torpor is quite low (I've been told 100 but I don't trust my lag as much so maybe 1000 before pumping it back up) you'll then have the easiest time in the world to tame it as you'll easily have 2 hours before you need to come back and put him to sleep again.
Make no mistake the difficult part is actually putting a ko on the creature. If you got two player the cheapest way that'll work is to have a person on flying mount hoist his buddy with a grappling hook.
Bring spare weapons with misses and the crazy torpor decay, the estimated number of dart to take him out is wishful thinking at best.
Solo, make 4 metal Dino gate + bear traps.
Bring sleeping bag / bed you'll need them.
If a Giga is what you desire
Then to the skies you must fly higher
Hundreds of tranq arrows and narcotics in your pack
Fired from a quetzals back
A sleeping Giga you shall soon acquire
Whilst the Giga is laid to rest
Waiting for torpor to be low is surely best
Because while it may wake up quickly
It cannot wake if it's still getting sleepy
Don't worry about wild dinos they surely will not test
Quetzal kibble is it's favorite treat
But if it wakes up you're next to eat
So be vigilant during the tame
It's quite the waiting game
But when it is yours you won't be beat
A easy and cheap trap for this: 4 metal billboard and 2 large bear trap. To make it just look for a flat surface and place the metal billboards in a square. (Give a bit of space for each one) And leave one side open. Then place 2 large bear trap inside it. Just lure the giga inside and close the open side with the last metal billboard.
Okay, your only hope of knocking this calamity with legs out is by running it through a gauntlet of tripwire tranq traps while hurling shocking tranq darts at it. I would even go as far as saying just use the about twice as many tranq arrows you would need just because there is no risk of death(lol) and you would have better fire rate, it would just take longer. BUT according to here, this industrial excavator with teeth loses torpor at a ludicrous speed, so maybe if you just made dang sure not to miss, you could forgo the fire rate and use the shockers. Maybe run it through a gauntlet jumping over the traps so that he hits a trap, you shoot him, he hits a trap, shoot, so on and so on… pray to Ark Jesus this works…
No one
How to tame:
Step 1: Just walk up to one, it's a passive tame.
Step 2: feed it mejoberries.
Step 3: you have yourself a nice, gracious herbivore!
you wil literally have cramps in your finger when knocking out this thing because when i tamed this i used about 200 toxicant arrows and when controlling this by a saddle dont fall from a cliff because it will get stuned
Here’s the best way to tame this beast. Force tame
If u have god counsel, Just put on invulnerability and fly over it, and just shoot over him
