How do I tame a giganotosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a giganotosaurus.
I knocked down a 145 gig with 196 traq darts and 220 traq arrows with master craft bow. And used 20 yellow kibble. This is all on one times and the map is island around volcano ark ascented.

The things you need to tame a giga:-
1)Flyer (recommending an argy).
2)4-5 dinosaur metal gateways.
3)1-2 large bear traps.
4)10x soothing balm if your playing on mobile.
5)Your KO weapon (most recommended are ascendant longneck rifle or ascendant crossbow).
6)Your KO ammo (bring a decent amount).
7)Taming food of your choice (most recommended is raw prime meat or kibble if you can).
8)Decent amount of narcotics or bio toxin.
FIND GIGA: gigas usually spawn at mountains. On the island try looking around the volcano or the two mountains in the snow area.
SET YOUR TRAP: take 3 of your metal gateways and make this shape \_/ then put a large bear trap or 2 in the middle. It’s easier if you build the trap on flat ground.
TRAP THE GIGA: get the giga to follow you and make it go inside the trap, then make sure it’s caught in the bear trap. When it’s stuck in the bear trap go behind it and complete the trap with another gateway. The final shape of the trap looks like a Trapezoidal.
KO THE GIGA: even a low level giga has a lot of torpor and it drops fast so keep shooting no matter what. It’s recommended for a tribe-mate to help you.
START FEEDING: put the food in the giga’s inventory and keep an eye on it’s torpor.
I hope this was helpful 😊
WILD = 80,000 hp
TAMED = 18,000 hp
I'll say no more.....
If you are on mobile here is a tip for you
Craft 4 big billboard and then craft a 7 giant bear trap place it on flat surface and also kill all the carnivores around you so i it won't disturb during your taming procession, put 3 big billboards around, and left some one big Billboard on your hotbar then put the 7 giant bear trap, if you have trapped the giga on the 3 billboards with 7 bear trap go patch the last billboard. Warning! If the torpor of the giga are almost full he can flea away but it won't hurt you instead he is the one who would be scared. Fact☝🏻.big billboards won't get damaged for some reason and it's important for trapping any dinos. Sorry for my grammar just trying too help😁
I was looking to metal to make a saddle then I said to my brother “i am going to tame a giga” as a joke. Not even 10 seconds later a level 55 giga came into view. KEEP IN MIND WE ARE ONLY LEVEL 40!! We are gonna tame it tomorrow with arrows since we don’t have tranq darts😂 wish us luck!
Many a tribe have been foolish enough to think they could fight a wild giga with a tamed and ended up with a dead giga. Don't be them.
Make 4 metal dino gates and 1 large bear trap. Place three frames and door into an incomplete square and the large bear trap in the I between them. Lure the Giga into the trap and while its trapped place 4th down to make the square. Then just light it up with tranqs
I 100% recommend charging straight on a Giga with a wooden club, you won’t regret it.
Just lure into a metal gate set ups some plant Xs and it will knock out you welcome
Whoever said that giga don’t aggro if you’re on a mount on mobile is only half correct.
I tested this in multiplayer server, it will not aggro on you up close (even if you attack it, though I recommend not doing this because I haven’t test this in single player yet. Trust me, I’ve tried this a few times to lure it into trap and it only aggro when I left my mount)
BUT IT WILL AGGRO ON YOU IF YOU PLACE DOWN ANYTHING NEAR IT. I almost lost my lvl 367 argy because of this. So no, you can’t ride a mount, place metal walls around it and leave to tranq it. It will aggro and immediately attack you. Just build a trap somewhere near and lure it into it is your best option
TO THE GUY THAT SAID METAL SIGNPOSTS WORK, IT JUST WALKS RIGHT OVER THEM.
f for my argy
It takes about 5000 stone and 125 slingshots to knock one out
Anyone up to the challenge vote u
Make a club. Find one hit it with the club untill it is unconscious. Put mejoberys in its inventory. And wait shouldn’t take that long to tame.
Boom now you have your do- oh wrong page
I have tamed my first Giga. Two of my eagles died in the process and I died several times myself. However, after two hours I was finally redeemed and my very first giga was tamed. I have never been so happy in this game. (700h)
I didn't have a name right after taming. I wanted to think of one on the way home. My path ran along the northern beach.
After 300-400m, less than 30 seconds later, I ran straight into the arms of a lvl 4 Giga.
I've rarely been as shocked as I was at that moment.
I tried everything to turn my giga around quickly. However, it had a turning circle of what felt like three trucks...
Rip Giga without a name
I've never been so broken.
I still can't believe this story...
I knocked one out with a HUGE amount of froggo’s I started with 35 frogs all level 100-150 and by the time he fell I had 4 frogs one ^ is a frog memory!
Materials -
4-8 metal billboards
2-4 bear traps
Design - you want to put the bill boards in a square so one infront of the giga, to its right, left, and behind. Place 3 bill boards like this |_| and 2 bear traps in the trap, then lead the giga to the trap and put one billboard behind it. Then just knock it out and tame it.
I’m about to go tame my first Giga. My idea is to hop on my Quetz with a platform saddle, dismount and stay on the saddle, and shoot at the giga until I’m able to knock him out. Hoping this works
I recommend using the hunt giga pursuit to find one and tame it, without using the pursuit I had looked around for about a week and wasn’t able to find one. So if you don't want to spend forever trying to find one, use the pursuit
The real gods at ark use their fists.
