Tips & Strategies
Step 1, YOU DONT NEED EGGS!!
Step 2, find a nest with parent and baby.
Step 3, while the parent is looking away SNEAK into the nest ( it will prompt you to push the interaction button)
Step 4, wait for baby to com to nest πͺΊ, it will alert by jumping and flapping its wings once indicating taming process is about to begin.
Step 5, baby will either spin (left), bow (down), or flap it wings (right) (controller dpad keys)
Step 6, the parent should must be allowed to come back to the nest and will return shortly after starting the taming process has started, if the parent does happen to attack you use a flyer and rest the parent by flying straight up over the nest and fly out of rended then return. If you have done it correctly the parent wont attack you while you do the taming process 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 taming process. If and when this should happen to you, reset the parent by getting agro and flying up over the nest out of render. Return back to the nest and repeat steps 3-5. Resuming the taming process.
Step 6, once the taming process is 100% you have yourself a beautiful baby Gigantoraptor.
Side note: Parent is untamable
Good Luck Suvivors!!

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.
Fun fact! Unlike other babies, if you eliminate the parent, you still can't claim the baby. Learned the hard way π
Iβve tried looking for a maximum distance on how far the parent can detect fertilized eggs, 80m worked but Iβll keep testing
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)
That one tip where they say you donβt need insert eggs is not true! The eggs must be fertilized
Step one. Sneak into nest
Step two. Imprint on babys.
Step three. Run for your life with baby.
-The parent will peck at a fertilized egg for about 30 seconds, typically enough time to perform one action with the baby. Higher levels will need multiple actions.
-When the baby wants to do an action, itβll walk towards you in the nest and jump. Youβll be shown a list of actions, one of which the baby will start doing, and you have about 3 seconds to pick the correct one to mimic.
Don't use your Gigatoraptor to tame a new one... do the mini game again so you get taming effectiveness bonus levels!! I wish the people that put the tip would have stated you get no taming efficiency... :-(
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!
