What is a giganotosaurus used for? giganotosaurus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
On ume and pc if a baby/juvenile/adolescent giga dies in front of its parents, or it is dealt too much damage in a short time (heart meter at the bottom fills up fully), then the giga(s) will be instantly enraged, dismounting you if you were riding it then roaring with glowing yellow eyes, then if theres any wild or tamed creatures nearby it will get aggressive and attack them with double damage. You will also most likely fall off the giga onto the ground and will probably get 1 shot by fall damage or your own giga then after 20 seconds your giga will be okay but can't say the same about any tames/structures not made of stone or metal nearby
On old mobile though if you ride a tamed giga off a cliff, a baby/juvenile/adolescent giga dies in front of its parents, or it is dealt too much damage in a short time, then the giga(s) will also be instantly enraged, dismounting you then roaring with glowing yellow eyes, then if theres any wild creatures nearby it will attack them and any tames nearby... not set to passive will also follow the giga and attack whatever it's attacking since it technically has its aggression set to aggressive. You will also fall off the giga onto the ground and will have to chase after your giga and your tames. After 20 seconds have passed and you have found your giga clumped up besides it there will be a big mess of tames... that are alive and probably have their aggression level set to neutral or attack target.
DISCLAIMER: IF YOU ARE ON ANY OTHER PLATFORM BESIDES OLD MOBILE IGNORE THIS TIP.
On old mobile these things are neutral to all tames, meaning that if you try to lure a giga to a rando's base to be evil and they have all their tames set to passive, then that's not gonna do anything unless you manually aggro the giga then tank each hit with your tame and the dude's tames in the giga's hitbox until something dies.
This also means that you can easily trap a giga by using a medium sized mount, equipping 4 metal dino gates in your hotbar, then go up to the giga and quickly place the gates when it stops moving. There exists a video somewhere on the ark mobile discord of me doing this with a pachy.
This also applies to rexes
However if you try this on any other platform including ark use you and your tame will almost certainly die as unlike old mobile wild gigas WILL always be aggressive to all tames.
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!
When I tamed my first giga, I thought it was super weak… no better than a good Rex. And it was! It changed when I bred my first two and hatched and fully imprinted my triplets: Eclipse, Thunder and Frenzy. They are all much, much better than any Rex I’ve ever had. Not to mention having twice the hp and more than twice the damage of their parents. I will continue to breed, too. 👆if you relate
In the wild, you can't do much with them. You'd think they'd be excellent for luring to bases, but it will prioritize all other Dinos over you, so it isn't worth the effort. Once tamed, the Giganotosaurus is the best method for hunting. Should you need to stock up on meat for breeding, raising, or just feeding, this is your best bet. Of course they're also just high damage Dinos too, so they're excellent for PvP, tanks with jaw of iron. Fair warning, when trekking across a map with them, take the flattest route possible, they're terrible in forests, mountains, and water. They also take fall damage very easily, so avoid jumps of any kind. Should you end up falling off of a cliff, dismount before hitting the ground and the damage will be avoided.
