What is a giganotosaurus used for? giganotosaurus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
Up this if you want a platform saddle for this
When you finally tame one, don't put stat points into anything but melee. Other stats don't improve very well.
I died My griffin right next to giga. My stone structures next to giga. Gigaβs Brain: I rather eat stone than griffin. I get my stuff thatβs right near giga. Back away. Tamed it while eating stone. SUCCESS. Now I have a lvl 170 giga that murders everything and my griffin still alive. Thanks to gigas Favoring stone over food
This is to all the noobs out there just like I was when I encountered them for the first time. RUN GET THE HELL AWAY FROM THEM I MEAN THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MAP OR U WILL DIE!!!!!!!
Anyone else think the Giga should be given a bigger roar? Like the health goes down and so does the melee damage at least give it a blood stopping roar.
While a absolute BEAST of a tame, the giga has some factors you have to consider.
1. Enraging. The giga will enrage and attack EVERYTHING if it enraged. Its eyes will turn a luminous yellow colour and it will be angry.
2. Feeding. The giga will enrage (see above) if there is no meat available too it, whether in a trough or in its inventory. This will stop once it has acquired enough meat to keep its hunger away. (This does not apply to babies. They will just starve)
3. Imprinting. If you have a giga, breed it and get 100 percent imprint. If you don't, the giga will enrage permanently until death when its health drops below a certain amount. (I think 40 percent).
4. Using your giga. These things have a nasty bite and would be perfect for pvp except for the fact you have to factor in the above and that you are a sitting duck for any sniper while mounted. Besides that, it is perfect for pvp.
Hope this helps. But remember, these things can still be countered with varying difficulty.

Person who said they wanted a platform saddle.
Firstly, oh, sure, it's soooo balanced to have a F*CKING 17K HEALTH AT LEVEL ONE, INCREDIBLY HIGH DAMAGE TAME WITH AN ARMY OF RAPTORS ON TOP,
Secondly, these things will eat you over a bit of fall damage, imagine what they'd think of a platform saddle.
Thirdly, look at them, to they look like they could hold up a platform? Do they? Really? I mean, seriously.

If you're on a pvp server and the person you're raiding has a giga, if you can, focus fire on it...it will eventually enrage and attack all its friendly dinos and structures around it
Gigas should have a mobile kibble that works on any animal.
If your falling off a cliff just simply dismount and he won't rage up on you, good luck fellow survivors
Rex has a tek saddle but gigs doesn't? The heck wildcard?
When you are in a giga fight make sure you got a good saddle or else you arenβt winning the fight!
To the person responding to the person responding to the person who wants there to be a platform saddle... That's the point of the titanosaur, and is why it's only a temporary tame. Its op, but limited. The giga would still be op, just not limited.
Step 1: Get on Giga
Step 2: Eat rare flower
Step 3: Prosper

WHEN TAMED! On a pvp server mostly make sure 100% of the time he/she is in a separate cage completely away from all other Dino's!! This is because after a certain amount of dmg done to the giga he will begin to "rage" he will turn on you even after all the happy memories you've had. Also even attacking all his Dino friends! :( so be sure to lock up this beast of a Dino!
Here is how you get out all the stress you got from one day.
1. Get this dude.
2. Find him a mate.
3. Breed for insane mutated giga.
4. Wipe the whole server out.

When raiding, bring rock golem for soaking turrets, a giga for the enemy Dinos, a deanodon (it that how you spell it? Itβs the healing pig) and a pleura for the structures.
Good luck!
Good luck!
If you Tame this with basic kibble on official(I think it would take 15+ hours) you are a legit savage and should be recognized asap!
It may seem easier to tame a low level, but believe me, the low levels have terrible stamina and melee. Tame the highest level you can.
Fix the gigas health when tamed.2 ways to fix it with balancing.
1.The health stays the same when tamed.
2.The health doesnt go down too dramatically and it only loose about 5,000-20,000 health depending on the level.
