The babies eat a TON. Expect to go on multiple meat runs. They also need special care in the very beginning, where they can only hold up to four meat in their inventory. I’ve never used a trough, but I’m going to, because maybe that will give me a little more free time. I also recommend building a large pen around them with a dinosaur gate. They will eventually get too big to get through the gate, but they work for the first half of their baby life. The pen is to keep them safe, and also from running away if the unexpected enemy attacks you or one of your dinos.
Never and I mean NEVER fight against a wild Giga with a tame Giga. I have this lvl 59 Giga 100%imprint 33k health and 500+ damage (104%melee damage) and on top of that it has a mastercraft saddle 94.6 armor and another thing that gives 50 more armor so in total it’s 144.6 armor that would cut the wild Giga’s damage by more than half. And so I decided to go against one because I didn’t really need the giga so it didn’t really matter if I lost it or not so I had to battle and the Giga’s health is already down to 46k (I weaken the wild Giga before attacking) and this Giga dropped my Tamed one by half while the Wild Giga only lost 7k😭(single player mode mobile) I was able to escape currently with a really hurt Giga
NEVER ever get your tamed giga’s health to be under 50% or lower, it will activate RAGE mode. Rage mode is an aggressive stance that eats on EVERYTHING including you and your tames even if it’s tamed. Becareful of using the giga against a powerful dino or jumping of a cliff while riding a giga, entering rage mode while riding a giga will kick you off it’s saddle and eat you. Rage mode typically lasts for 20 seconds, however rage mode will buff the giga into a deadly machine! Rage mode buff will make your giga’s damage to 2x the damage. You might notice it’s glowing eyes when you suspect it to be in rage mode. I may be suggesting you removing your best weaponry and Armor to your base when your about to ride your giga anytime if you want for a risky stunt/adventure. After its rage mode finished it’s timer, it will go back to normal and it’s still tamed if your worried.
