What are tips for gigantoraptor? Tips and strategies for gigantoraptor in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
New patch no longer lets you tame the baby while parent is trapped. You now have to use the egg drop method.
BIG TERROR BIRD.
What I mean by that is that they can just barely fly and also you can’t kill the parent and claim the baby.
i found a issue with terror birds :
if you incubate terror bird eggs in his saddle , you cant cryo them till they fully grown !
dont find other creatures with this issue atm but its really annoying if you try to breed them you have no way to raise them later ! really bs bug
From what I’ve seen, it has the same spawns as the therizinosaurus
The Gigantoraptor is going to be one of the first creatures to be exclusively added to Ark Ascended. If you don’t know already, Ark Ascended is a refurbished version of Ark Survival evolved that will be released some time this year for the latest consoles and systems. Ascended will boast improved graphics, something Evolved has been lacking, and revised mechanics. The devs claim that Ascended is intended to be a space filler for fans before Ark 2 is released in a year or so. Some critics have claimed this is a money grab, as the release of Ascended coincides with the suspension of public servers on Evolved. What ever your opinion, this feathered theropod marks the beginning of something
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
“I THOUGHT THEY WERE PASSIVEEEEEE AÆHHAÄHHAGÆHHAGGÆ”
There is a bunch near green obilisk.Infact a lot of official mods are around the rivers of green obilisk like Ceratosaurus and Deinosuchus.But if you are thinking about taming a Gigantoraptor around there there is a bunch of raptors and TONS of spinos
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)
You can actually find these on Extinction. You will locate them in the sanctuary in different locations. Sometimes you can find them in the entrances of the sanctuary to the waste land.
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 🪺, 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!!
I see most nests around redwood on the island.
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.
I can’t wait for ASA it’s shaping up to be pretty epic!!
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!
Can claim after killing parent as long as you have a gigantoraptor to claim it with
‼️ OFFICIAL server tips ‼️
1️⃣ Be sure no structure are in within a few foundations around the nest, or it will activate the anti-trap system and the baby will just stare at you.
If it happens just kill it and look for another one, no workaround so far.
2️⃣ Wyvern/giga/bronto fert eggs allow up to 2 game rounds, if the baby do not wander too much. Sometimes it will wander far, in those cases you can sacrifice the egg for a 2nd round or go pick it up.
3️⃣ Drop the egg at medium/short distance from the nest so most of the times you are able to pick it up before it get consumed. This will save you a lot of eggs but after a while the egg get consumed earlier so it's never possible to complete a max level tame with just one egg.
4️⃣ When trying to pick up back an egg, approach the parent from behind, often it won't aggro on you.
5️⃣ After dropping the fertilized egg do not run to the nest, wait for the parent to peck onto the egg. If you approach the nest too early, the parent will ignore the egg and get back to check the nest.
6️⃣ If the server restart the nest will despawn even if you're in the middle of the taming, it doesn't recognize it like knockout/passive tames.
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.
I was setting up my new base untill I saw a 135.
Once I build my foundation I went away and then came back to another one right next to my new base. The cords are 62.5 Lat 23.5 Lon if you want to find one👍
