Tips & Strategies
I’ve learned that you DONT even need a fertilized egg. Just make sure the parent isn’t getting attacked by any Dino’s. All you need is full Ghillie suit, sneak up to the nest but make sure the parent don’t see you sit in the nest, and then you can start imprinting on the baby. Up for those who can’t make a lot of eggs like me!
Step 1, bring an egg or two just in case ( i brought rex eggs)
Step 2, find a nest with parent and baby.
Step3, place the egg with some distance from the nest, and wait for the parent to see the egg and start to pick it.
Step 4, make ur way to the nest and hide in it(there is an interaction button that says hide in nest.
Step 5, wait for the baby to start the minigame for taming the baby.
Step 6, the parent should come back to the nest shortly after starting the minigame, dont freak out, it wont attack you while you do the minigames with the baby, it will protect you and the baby from any intruder, ur tribemate can even stand there with u beside the nest, but any sudden movement from your mate will alert the parent and attack, during a conflict where the parent runs away too far will make the baby pause the minigame, therefor u should put up another egg close to the nest to make the parent return, then the minigame with the baby will resume.
Step 6, once the minigame is 100% u got urself a Gigantoraptor :) and no u cant tame the parent (i play official pve)
Step one. Sneak into nest
Step two. Imprint on babys.
Step three. Run for your life with baby.
The dossier came out finally! Ok so I’m the wild they have nests and they protect their eggs to the death and will even except other creatures babies into their brood, (ASA will have baby Dino’s that spawn in the wild, so if the mother of the baby dies, the gigantoraptor will take care of it) you can’t tame adults, you have to (I don’t know if you gotta kill the mother, or just be careful, or distract her or what..) then you gotta earn the babies trust, and it will be yours (probably feed it…) once it’s an adult, it can use it’s call to attract orphan wild dinos and take care of them, (idk if this is going to be the only way to tame the wild babies or not.) also it and it’s young (the babies following it wild or her own) get an attack buff when near each other, I’m confused on how this is helpful because the babies are weak and will just die.. maybe she has to die first and they are invulnerable, 🤷🏻♂️ But that feature would probably be more helpful for base defense. Anyway that’s the gigantoraptor next creature vote is for aberration and the top ten are looking good so stay tuned.

I had 1 rex egg with me cause i thought it was enough , it wasnt but i had full ghille armor on and was able to tame it with the mother next to me not seeing i was in the nest.
Shares therizino spawns. Whilst nests are sometimes near the rivers' edges, they can also be found on grassy plains near green ob, and in the middle of the forest north of red ob.
**If you already have a Gigantoraptor!!**
1. Have Gigantoraptor
2. Kill the wild parent
3. Find baby - easier to wait until it stops running away
4. Roar your Gigantoraptor (should be crouch button while riding)
5. While still riding Gigantoraptor, look at baby and press the claim button (Xbox = Y, Playstation = Triangle)
— If you dismount tame, get back on and try again, claim message should appear when in the right range —
IMPORTANT!!!
- If the wild baby is a HIGHER level then your own Gigantoraptor at tame ( Wild = 150, Yours =130) you are not allowed to hold it in your basket — You might still be able to claim it, but I am still unsure:(
Not sure why people say you cant tame baby gigaraptor with parent trapped. I did it today as of March 30 2024. Used 6 foundations, 4 dino gates with doors, 4 walls (2high each side). Lure parent into trap, close gate, go to nest to tame. After a couple mimic attempts baby doesn't do mimic gestures. Probably why they say it doesn't work. But if you make 1 of the stone walls a secret door way, go in trap, punch parent (to gain aggro) leave trap thru secret door way, leave aggro range(or until away from parents render distance) go back to nest, repeat. I found this resets the baby to do gestures again and parent is trapped the whole time.
Okay. Find a nest. Usually around rivers and grass/jungle areas.
The baby will always be around the nest. If it's not, there's a number of bugs that can be the cause.
For this to work; The baby and the nest and the mom all have to be together in the same close vicinity.
Okay, the correct way to distract the mother is to throw out a fertilized egg close by.
Aggro will get you a few times but keep trying till you get it right.
Once you see the animation of her eating the fertilized egg, go to the nest. Hide in it.
The baby will now come to you after a few moments if not bugged and will literally get into a stance in front of you.
It will preform 1 of 3 moves. D pad, Left, Down, Right
All little mimic/dance moves that increase the babys taming with each successful one you do in time, mimicking it.
After mom gets done eating she immediately comes straight back to the nest.
My experience allowed me to just quickly run from her in time while her back was turned in that split second moment from hiding.... but definitely keep a flying creature close by in case of things going south.
The larger the fertilized egg, the longer she takes to eat it. Eggs that worked for me was Rexs, Carchs, Gigas, Brontos, Yutis, All the eggs of those creatures worked for me and it took her at least a good solid +45-60 seconds to eat them each. For max levels.
Good Luck Out There! I Hope This Helps!
This creature is crazy fun!!! Has a flutter ability exactly like the Terror Bird but the gliding is WAY more maneuverable. Jumps like a Reaper almost compared to size. Main attack uses its Beak, and other attack will use both its huge legs to separately stomp. Aloooooot of other crazy good features to this Oviraptorosaur, specifically to do with babies.
Tame it and find out for yourself 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙏🏻
Good tame. Can no longer gate trap parents. Use fert eggs (rex or above preferred) to lure parent, or have a buddy run interference using a tame to block.
It can carry eggs in its inv regardless of level and cooks them down to 0% like an incubator. Each bird gives a feather based on its highest base stat that when fed to a female tame increases the subsequent baby's chance of inheriting that stat.
It also imprints babies to it in addition to your own and when nearby gives the baby's a 10% damage reduction.
There's like a tons of these in bottom middle of the map where the lagoon is. I saw like 10 in the same river
Using ghillie at night doesn’t work 🥲
Hey y’all I haven’t found a single one and I’m by the middle of the map bottom we’re swamp is tbh I haven’t seen a single one
1hr 40min egg
5hr baby
20hr juvi
23hr adol
Full growth time on these.
Two days and two hour raise. On trough in 5 hours.
Mama must be distracted by fert eggs. Rex, giga, carchar eggs are better. If you kill mama, baby won't imprint. Imprint on baby must be done while mama is distracted pecking at eggs. Once she eats the egg, she will attack you. Retreat, wait for her to calm, throw another egg, rinse and repeat.
New patch no longer lets you tame the baby while parent is trapped. You now have to use the egg drop method.
If you already have an adult g-raptor, go kill the wild parent and then run up to the orphaned baby while you’re on your g-raptor, until you’re close enough to imprint on it, just like a normal wild orphaned Dino. The g-raptor allows you to imprint on wild dinos and also gives a small tame boost
If you have an adult giga raptor depending on the lvl of baby you can kill parent and tame baby using the baby call with ur current one.
