What are tips for gigantoraptor? Tips and strategies for gigantoraptor in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Easiest way. Trap mom with gates or signs. Then do emotes with the babies
If you have an adult g-raptor kill the parent and then call the orphan while riding your you can then claim the orphan while riding your tame
Hit up scorch and snag a few Wyvern Eggs. Keeps them occupied for at least 2 dances from the baby.
You need to lure the mother a short way from the nest and trap her, billboards seem to work best. Then return to the nest and 'hide' in it. The baby will approach you and then begin one of 3 actions which you must mimic by selecting the appropriate response. Do this repeatedly over time to complete the tame
Allo eggs & Yuty eggs works great to gain trust. Don’t trap mother too far from baby, (try not to). This makes the process glitch because it’s not how the taming is intended.
1. Drop eggs
2. Tame baby
3. Kill any threats
4. Protect mother, (she trusted you)
To tame these eggs can be used to distract 5he parent and doing so with ghuille armor imprint on baby and dance drop eggs reapeat
I’ve tamed 4 of these now and every time I’ve trapped the parent
You don't need ghillie! Just one fertilized egg! (I used bronto)
Step 1: Drop the egg and wait for the parent to start eating.
Step 2: Sneak into the nest (ideally giving the parent a wide berth) and play one game with the baby.
Step 3: Hop out of the nest and quickly grab the egg away from the parent. If it aggros on to you run away from the nest because the parent will only chase you so far from the nest.
Step 4: Drop the egg again and repeat the other steps until you tame your gigantoraptor!
Note: This method might be patched in the future so just keep that in mind.
The gigantoraptor make around 7 hits to the fertilized egg
It go fast so take around 5 eggs to be sure to tame it easely.
And when the dad eat an egg it always come back to the nest so set another egg in the same place and reapeat the opération to the last.
Good luck 👍
Nobody knows how to tame this because it isn't released yet. Yet encountered, it may act similar to Raptors and Reapers, though may gain speed over charging. Have any questions? You may look it up on the D.D.D Website on Fandom, or wait for the Wiki Page. Have comments? Share it as an Everything Else Tip!
Have a good ARK Time.
I have an actually overpowered way to tame these guys:
1. Make sure you have a cryopod or argy
2. Get a lot of stone doorframes and a stone ramp
3. Find a Gigantoraptor
4. Build a trap with the previous stone stuff
5. Aggro the Gigantoraptor parent into the trap
6. Do the emote thing with the baby in the nest
7. Grab the now tamed baby with a cryo or argy and boom
With this strat, you don’t need fertilized eggs and you don’t have to worry about the adult breaking out of the trap
Passive tame- Trapping parent with metal signs and 1 feet egg makes timing easy. Hide in nest wait for mini game unhide and hide again.. boom taming complete within 10minutes
Trap the Parent close to the nest with Metallboards
Kill every carnivore around you
Place your Flyer (Tame) in a distance that the parent doesn’t agro it
Dance with baby and easy going 💪💪💪
You can only tame the baby’s !!!!!!
The parent must be alive to tame the baby, you can distract the parent with eggs or a tribe mate but the best method by far is to trap it close to the nest (4 metal billboards do the trick)
Once trapped, hide in the nest and wait for the baby to approach. This will start a matching minigame. Complete to raise tame progress.
Have a friend hold onto it with a bug while your friend chills in the nest easy tame
Grab the mother with a bug. Keep her agro'd. Someone else sneaks into the nest and tames the baby when quoed
Set a trap with 4 Dino gates and put the adult in the trap then proceed to jump in the nest and then just match the dances
I found a nest and had proceeded to trap the mother in a simple trap and proceeded to do the minigame with the baby. I then had my argie take the baby back to my base.
Use fertilized egg (my tribe use argy eggs) to lure parent into a bill board trap. Then imprint on the baby with no worries
