YOU NEED FERT EGGS!! Levels DON’T matter!

After different attempts this worked best for me:

Step1: Solo or with a tribemate, scatter fert eggs all around nest, distanced about 3-4 foundations away from the nest.

Step2: You’ll hear/see mom attacking the egg(or tribemate can let you know) and that’s when you want to hide.

Step3: emote with the baby and if mom eats the egg it’s okay, she’ll come back and aggro on you

Step4: have your tribemate run into the nest to take over or if solo, run away leading her towards something else to aggro.

Step5: repeat the steps 2 - 4 until tamed.

After taking you can use your tamed gigantoraptor to pickup ORPHANED babies

While taming it an alpha rex decided it would be funny to 'help'

If the baby refuses to do the taming minigame with you, try breaking some of the rocks/trees around the nest. I think whatever wildcard did to prevent trapping the parent extended to ANYTHING that could potentially stop the parent from reaching the nest. I tried multiple times to tame a baby and got no response, but as soon as I cleared the area for the parent, the taming game worked first try.

That one tip where they say you don’t need insert eggs is not true! The eggs must be fertilized

Can claim after killing parent as long as you have a gigantoraptor to claim it with

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 one. Sneak into nest

Step two. Imprint on babys.

Step three. Run for your life with baby.

Fun fact! Unlike other babies, if you eliminate the parent, you still can't claim the baby. Learned the hard way 😅

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)

If you already tamed a Gigantoraptor, you can skip the minigame taming mechanic for further wild ones by simply killing the wild parent, roaring, then clicking E on the wild baby whilst on your Gigantoraptor. Congratulations, you tamed your new baby Gigantoraptor in record time!
