ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
1) Bring Fertilized eggs with you try for a bigger Dino egg to be safe, you might need about 2-4
2) Drop egg close to nest but make sure its far enough away so that the Gigantoraptor will come out and won't aggro you while you are in the nest
3) Run into nest and "hide" in the nest and wait for baby to come into the nest
4) Mirror the movements of the baby
5) Repeat until tamed
Another thing you can do is bring a friend to pick up the mom with a Rhynio and you can the baby with no issues, I just wouldn't kill the mom as it might affect the taming process.
Last tip: Once tamed pluck feathers as they can be used in breeding to get higher Stat of parents
FYI this is NOT coming to Ark: Survival Evolved it will be coming to Ark: Survival ASCENDED. The last thing coming to Evolved is the Rhinio btw
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.
The Gigantoraptor is going to be one of the first creatures to be exclusively added to Ark Ascended. If you don’t know already, Ark Ascended is a refurbished version of Ark Survival evolved that will be released some time this year for the latest consoles and systems. Ascended will boast improved graphics, something Evolved has been lacking, and revised mechanics. The devs claim that Ascended is intended to be a space filler for fans before Ark 2 is released in a year or so. Some critics have claimed this is a money grab, as the release of Ascended coincides with the suspension of public servers on Evolved. What ever your opinion, this feathered theropod marks the beginning of something
If you think that this fellow will be small you couldn’t be more wrong. This dino is the size of a t-Rex
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.
I was little skeptical about this creature but once I saw the concept art I was all in! Reminds of like an ostrich mixed with a peacock. Totally cool!
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
From what I’ve seen, it has the same spawns as the therizinosaurus
Find them around green ob, beware if danger
Taming 3x already without ghillie and eggs,, just use ptera to lure it somewhere nearby, make it busy like fighting with dilo or something. Just make sure it won't die, after that run to the nest and hide in it, if the battle music still on then it still chasing you but if the music are off then it's successful and it won't hunt ya again, ah and no need to get out from the nest each time you succeed on copying the baby movements, momy won't disturb ya either 👍
If it’s fed and satisfied you can tame it without using anymore eggs
Didn't know they are picky eaters. They either eat berries or meat.
I was setting up my new base untill I saw a 135.
Once I build my foundation I went away and then came back to another one right next to my new base. The cords are 62.5 Lat 23.5 Lon if you want to find one👍
Just sneak into the nest. Eggs aren’t necessary. Also must allow the parent to be free to come back and touch the nest. Then imprint on the little baby darling 🤣
I have found that placing several fertilized eggs close to the nest before you start the taming process works best. I have also found that ghillie is not needed when taming!
How to tame:
1. Get large feet eggs, Brontos, Gigas and Carcha works best
2. Find a nest
3. Throw an egg far from nest, but in range of parent
4. While parent is busy eating, get close to nest, crouch and press E to hide in nest
5. Wait for baby to come by and do a dance, use A/S/D to copy baby movements
6. Repeat
Extra tip: a trap can be used to trap the parent, but be aware it needs to be in range of the nest!
To tame:
- Give eggs to mother Gigantoraptor to distract her
- Sneak into nest
- Repeat baby emotes to earn trust
- Run for your life
Use Cases:
- Incubate eggs
- Baby feeding (like Maewing)
- Run around 🤣
They share spawns with therezinos, if you don't find one, mass murder theries
