Tips & Strategies
Grab a fertilized rex egg and place it about a Wyverns lenght from the nest, wait for the adult to get distracted pecking the egg (careful sometimes the adult will look at the egg and go straight back to the nest), get inside the nest pressing E, do the game with the Baby (ASD buttons on PC) then the baby will get distracted and come back after a couple of seconds for a second minigame, finish the second minigame and hop off the nest (E on PC) run straight back to your egg and grab it, lose aggro from the parent by flying on a mount (usually you dont get aggro), repeat the first step by placing the egg back down (the adult won't break it if you time this correctly) until you have tamed the baby. Also the baby only eats berries.

Throw down an egg to distract the parent. As it's eating, trap it with metal billboards, and you don't have to worry about the parent escaping. Thanks Syntac!
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.
Been taming these on official smalls, Archeleon eggs are the best for low budget, they last as long as giga eggs
That one tip where they say you donβt need insert eggs is not true! The eggs must be fertilized
Fun fact! Unlike other babies, if you eliminate the parent, you still can't claim the baby. Learned the hard way π
Taming a Gigantoraptor with another Gigantoraptor DOES give bonus taming levels IF you manually leveled it up. The bonus taming levels gained are based on the x/88 levels you put in. So to get 75 bonus levels on a lvl150, you need to level it 88 times. Oh, and you need to own a Gigantoraptor that is higher lvl than the baby you want to tame for it to work. Same goes for other baby dinos.
Step one. Sneak into nest
Step two. Imprint on babys.
Step three. Run for your life with baby.
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)
Iβve learned that you DONT even need a fertilized egg. Just make sure the parent isnβt getting attacked by any Dinoβs. All you need is full Ghillie suit, sneak up to the nest but make sure the parent donβt see you sit in the nest, and then you can start imprinting on the baby. Up for those who canβt make a lot of eggs like me!
