Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a giganotosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a giganotosaurus.
You can knock this fella out without metal gates. All you need is 4 behemoth gates, and a bear trap. Put them in a square shape, and put the trap in the middle. Don’t forget to put gates on the gate frames! Make sure there are small gaps in the corners of the gateframes so you can still shoot tranqs at it. Lure the giga into the trap, and when it can’t move because of the bear trap, close the gate behind it, then start shooting it. I hope this has been a big help!
Only if I woke up as strong as I was before
For old ark mobile only: The best way to tame a giga like all others, is to trap it with metal gates. You can even do it close to it on a mount really. Just make sure not to dismount. Then, set a tiny camp with a roof on a sleeping bag to starve the giga. Forcing it to eat super fast. Also make sure to use soothing balm with it as well as using big bird kibble. After a few seconds depending on the giga’s level, you have yourself a hugely nerfed dino
To find a good giga on mobile:
1. Tidy save and fly to a few spawn points and normal save if there is no giga
2. Repeat until u find one - if it is not the lvl u want, restore last save and fly near it without spawning in (to save time) then save again
3. Keep restoring save and then go near the area to spawn it in again and again until u find one with a high lvl, nice colours, etc.
Hoped this helped - For me it’s the fastest way to not get a bad lvl giga as they are pretty common at mid-low lvls
God mode can be a blessing and a curse at time R.I.P lvl 150
With sanguine elixer and instead of using exceptional kibble use extraordinary kibble then it will tame really quick on official servers.
I tamed one using my argy with 10k hp. I built 2 metal gates around a bear trap (a common trap a lot of people use.) However I kept messing up and having to demolish my gates. After making multiple mistakes I found out that metal billboards work too. (the big signs. not the little ones.) Also, my 10k hp argy couldn’t tank it for long to lead it into the trap. The giga I tamed was lvl 25 and it was still hitting for like 400 dmg per bite. You’re never invincible with these things. I brought about 600 tranq arrows and over 1k narcotics (overpreparing is much better than underpreparing.) I lead it down to the beach to trap it. Its a flat area so it works well. Lead it into the bear trap, place billboards or gates behind it, and then shoot it like crazy with tranqs. (it should be 100% stuck by the time you start shooting.) Also, honorable mention! IT RUNS FASTER THAN ARGYS. I havent tried with Ptera but they have trash health anyways.
If you’re on mobile and looking for one to tame, tidy save your game, wait five minutes and look on the mountain connecting to the volcano. I always find one
Lead it to green obelisk and knock it out in the shallow water its perfect to use as a giga taming pen.
Real tamer’s test. Will put both your patience and your ability to keep something down.
P.S.: if it seems stuck in a terrain, SURROUND IT WITH GATES. It’ll get out sooner or later.
Just pelted one with 100 Tranq darts and it still didn't go down, note to self, bring more next time.
Be careful even if it’s tamed
you why
Well if they rage and there tamed in you base
It will still kill and brake everything you ever owned
And kill every Dino but if it dose not kill all of them and stopes raging
You might have a chance
Forget about needing a bunch of dino gates and bear trap. Search up "How to build a giga taming trap" by Captain Fatdog on YouTube. Only need 4 pillars, basically. Works like a charm, EZPZ
U actually just need 3 Metal dino gates and a large bear trap to knock a giga , just place 2 metal gates like a top side of triangle / \ , then place the large bear trap. Lure the giga to the trap , then place the last metal gates behind it . Just make sure the gap isnot very big. Then shoot it with about 150 tranq arrow and there u knocked it out.
Bring more tranq arrows then you think you’ll need
If you have a 500%+ dmg rifle and shocking tranq darts dont even hesitate to tame a giga, it doesnt even matter what lvl. Just make sure you have the narcs and kibble
This is one of very few dinosaurs we like to call an inverted torpor dinosaur. By this we mean that it's torpor goes down faster than it goes up, you will wait longer for it to go up than down thats why you should let the torpor drop really low then pump it with a large quantity all in one go, this will give you the time to let it tick up allowing you to do other things while you wait.
If you are taking a giga DO NOT pick up your trap until it is tamed.
Once you get giga eggs and everyone tells you how much the Gigas eat when growing up don’t listen to them. I play completely solo on official 1x and can raise these things with a Maewing and a tek trough. 1 giga eats about 1 to 1.5 tek troughs every 24 hours. So if you have 2 or 3 tek troughs of raw meat and it’s a juvenile or above you can step away from ark and GO OUTSIDE AND GET FRESH AIR. Also a maewing filled with cooked meat can last a giga through the whole baby stage without the meat spoiling before baby stage ends. So a recap is baby stage use maewing with slot cap of cool meat and then use raw meat in a few tek troughs. Easy raise. I do this solo on official 1x
Don’t try the old torch incubation on this on you will have nothing after trying to make them
