What are tips for gigantoraptor? Tips and strategies for gigantoraptor in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
If you already have a gigantoraptor you can imprint the little ones if the parent is dead and if bonded fully they work really well as pack creatures
Just sneak into the nest. Eggs aren’t necessary. Also must allow the parent to be free to come back and touch the nest. Then imprint on the little baby darling 🤣
I have found that placing several fertilized eggs close to the nest before you start the taming process works best. I have also found that ghillie is not needed when taming!
Trapping the parent, or surrounding the nest with walls, no longer works. The parent MUST have access to the nest.
Don’t kill its parents to imprint the baby the baby will be frozen and can not be imprinted
I have a feeling you’d need to bury yourself in the sand to escape this thing
Surprisingly good berry gatherer. Similar to a Trike in effectiveness but much faster and more mobile. At least on ASA, they also gather rare flowers from normal bushes! Even a low level Giganto should get you 100+ rare flowers in only a few minutes, but make sure to empty its inventory of excess berries every so often and pump up that weight stat. I have a low level Giganto and he gets me enough rare flowers for my beehives so that I'll never need to raid beaver dams or go to the swamp for flowers again!
It can also be done with argy eggs (they were fertilized)
You don't need ghillie but you also can wear any armour because it will hear it I don't it with no armour just a tek helmet and it still works
U can find them in south est on astraeos map
Hey y’all I haven’t found a single one and I’m by the middle of the map bottom we’re swamp is tbh I haven’t seen a single one
Fun fact: if u have a baby gigantoraptor and want an idea of what feather it might give u. Just plug in the stats like it’s a wild Dino if you don’t have tek binoculars and want to know point distribution. It won’t be fully accurate because obviously u tamed it and now it will be imprinted on u. But it’ll be close enough to make an educated guess.
If you already have one adult Giganoraptor, you can also tame the baby by killing the parent, using giganoraptor’s imprint ability, then imprinting on the baby. I don’t think it gives it as many levels as using the minigame way would though
If it’s fed and satisfied you can tame it without using anymore eggs
For anyone trying to figure out how to get a specific feather from these things it is what it’s highest stat I tamed three of them and each of their highest stats were health, melee, and weight and from each of them I got their respective stat so look for the gigantoraptor that has the highest amount of points in the stat that you want.
Clear Area of hostiles, land flyer/dino on rock away from area, run into nest and start taming. Aslong as no tribemates, or other players come by and take moms agro, should be able to tame with ease as mother is just walking on nest not attacking, no need for eggs, traps or friends. If someone comes by as your taming and grabs mom agro it will stop taming until they leave or hostile is eleminated.
1 locate the Dino
2 drop a large egg *at moment thunk just fert*
3 wait for mother to go over to egg
4 go over to nest and jump in
5 repeat and mock what emote the baby dose
6 run with baby *or cryo pod it*
How to tame:
1. Get large feet eggs, Brontos, Gigas and Carcha works best
2. Find a nest
3. Throw an egg far from nest, but in range of parent
4. While parent is busy eating, get close to nest, crouch and press E to hide in nest
5. Wait for baby to come by and do a dance, use A/S/D to copy baby movements
6. Repeat
Extra tip: a trap can be used to trap the parent, but be aware it needs to be in range of the nest!
To tame this dino, you need to entretain the father or mother with a rex or giganoto egg fertilized and enter in the nest and play with the baby..
