As of summer 2024, traps still work. However, from my testing, it seems you need to let the parent out and let it walk to its nest after every 3 or so interactions with the baby, and then retrap it.

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!

ghillie don’t work all the tips must be patched. best tip i found is a bronco egg, just set it play one round with the baby then run and snatch the egg and get her de aggro then rinse and repeat every time i picked egg back up and set it down it was refreshing her eating timer i only used 1 egg ( prob need bed rolls)

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.

It can also be done with argy eggs (they were fertilized)

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.

Through an annoying amount of frustration, I believe I have figured out the best way to tame these stupid things currently. (Until they patch it again...)

First thing first you will need:

1. 4 dinosaur gates and frames that can't be damaged by the gigantoraptor. (I used metal)

2. Ghillie or Flak, you can use either, I used ascendant Ghillie with a decent armor rating.

3. 1 fertilized egg, I used a fertilized wyvern egg.

4. Medical Brews I brought a stack of 100 and left with 89. I also had custom recipie food and drinks that passive healed me as well.

Now for how I set it up and tamed the baby...

About 60m from the nest, I setup the metal dinosaur gates and doors snapped together in a square. (Used a waypoint to measure rough distances) Then about 45m from the nest I dropped the wyvern egg.

After I had it all set up, I snuck around the nest off to the side. When the adult went for the egg, I hopped in the nest. You have enough time to do 2 mini games. Right after the 2nd mini game, I would jump up and run over and grab the egg from the parent. If you have Ghillie there is a good chance it won't even agro. Just keep running and pick up the egg as you run past, do not stop to get the egg. Cactus broth might help as well, however I did not have any and after getting the hang of it I stopped agroing the parent all together. If you do agro the parent, just run circles around the box, keep the box between you and it until it looses agro and wanders back to the nest. Sometimes it can trick you and circle back after the battle music stops. So keep an eye on her and be on your toes until she walks back to the nest and is no longer running. Then drop the egg and repeat until tamed.

Now for the baby glitch...

At one point the baby seemed to get stuck on the nest. At first I got frustrated and tried whipping it. This only agrod the parent, The baby didn't budge. After a few minutes it got itself unstuck, however it would no longer activate the mini game. It would walk over and stand there staring at me like it wanted to for a minute, then just wander off. After some questioning and a server reset, which did nothing. I was close to giving up, I tried picking up my box but still nothing. I then questioned weather it being seemingly stuck in the nest was actually it sleeping, because it had just turned 00:00 in game time. So I decided to wait until day time. At 05:00 in game time I gave it another go, and boom working again. It seems like in their infinite wisdom wildcard/snail has fixed the Ghillie only taming method by removing the ability to tame them at night, and not mentioning it anywhere that i have seen. So they can only be tamed during the day, hopefully this helps save others my frustration...

Note: you can not tame parent

In order to tame, you need…

Fertilized eggs (need about 3, but bring more just in case.) Almost any egg works but the bigger it is, the more time it gives you.

Ghillie (spelled it wrong probably) suit

1. Find a gigantoraptor with a nest and place fertilized eggs near nest but not to close so the parent can see you

2. When the parent leaves to eat the fertilized eggs go into nest and there should be a button that allows you to go into the nest

3. When the baby gigantoraptor comes back into the nest it will hop and do an action.

4. When it does the action, there should be three kinds of actions you can do and a picture above your hot bar should appear and tell you what button to press to do a specific action.

5. When you repeat the action the taming bar will up and the baby will leave

6. Repeat until tamed

Another note: the parent WILL come back after each eaten egg. When this happens, find a hiding place with the nest in sight. Not to far, not to close. When it leaves again, go back into nest and start taming again. I am pretty sure the taming bar does not go down when you leave as the parent comes back.

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 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙏🏻
