What i recommend for you to do if for a taming one of these bad boys is atleast have one piece of a ghillie suit and fertilized eggs im not entirely sure if this is what activates the mini game for the gigiantraptor if you did all these steps the nest may very be glitched but first try to clear all rocks/plants/trees next to the nest and attempt again.(if doesnt work,eliminate the baby and mom so more can spawn in the area and keep trying different nests)

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

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!

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.

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!

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)

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.

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
