What are tips for gigantoraptor? Tips and strategies for gigantoraptor in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
You do need fertilized eggs.I tested it, it didn’t care at all about the eggs that aren’t fertilized.And I’m pretty sure you can’t use a trap because I tested that as well and the baby was frozen.BUT the trap was kinda far away from the baby so if you put it really close to the nest it might work.
Don’t let the egg hatch
It’ll agroo on u and the baby so make sure it’s not the right hatching climate
To tame this you got to get the Baby and follow These steps:
1. Take a Giga or Carcha Egg with you
2. Find a Giganto Nest
3. Drop the egg you have a Bit far away from the nest. The giganto will See and eat it
4. Hurry and sneak into the Nest, wait for Baby to join in
5. Press the correct button(s) and soon it is tamed
6. Pod it and thats it
Step one: find gigantoraptor nest
Step two: find gigantoraptor parent and drop fertilized egg 5-15 foundations away from nest (I used giga since that’s what’s in release video)
Step three: await gigantoraptor parent to walk away from nest towards egg
Step four: run up to nest and enter nest (access inventory button) now wait in nest for baby to run up to you and do its dance - copy its dance move successfully to start taming **IF done quickly enough you should get 2-3 dance moves with the baby before the egg breaks and you have to left the nest and drop a new distraction egg
Repeat steps 2-4 until tamed. P.S - when the parent breaks the egg you dropped it WILL come back to the nest every time, if you are in the nest when the parent returns it will aggro you and you can’t distract it with an egg while it’s aggro’d.
Step 1 metal billboard the parent Cole but not to close to the nest
Step 2 go upto nest you will get a prompt to hide in nest
Step 3 once in nest baby will walk into nest and do an animation follow the same dance as baby at the same time
Step 4 repeat as many times as nessary till tamed DO NOT AGRO PARENT
Step 5 Enjoy the new tame once raised and imprinted
OK first thing you gotta do is either lure mother of a cliff or feed it a egg. While the mother is distracted be in nest and look down at it. Press Triangle is on ps5, should say hide in nest. Next wait for baby to approach you, it will jump for joy and flap is wings when it sees you, then it will do a emote and will start the mini game. Just rinse and repeat the mini game and it will tame. Very easy not hard at all.
When encountering a gigantoraptor Throw a random egg (Rex giga charcha are best) The Adult Will go to the egg and peck for about 30 seconds then you have time to do the youngster taming minigame
‼️ 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.
I dont see this anywhere so here.
Find a wild Gigantoraptor, (lower level than your leveled up GR) kill the mother and use your GR to imprint on the baby, rinse and repeat with higher levels to work your way up the ranks.
Use a Argentavis scan your surroundings to find a nest with a baby and parent and bring as much fertilized eggs as you can and a cryopod. Make sure your a good distance away when dropping eggs scatter them across each other then fly off a few distance away and watch the parent slowly leave the nest then get off your bird and hide in nest and start the taming process you must copy what the baby does when 3 prompts come up you must choose the one the baby does make sure you do it quick or youll miss your opportunity to. do this until finished taming if parent comes back hop out the nest and back onto your bird and drop more eggs. Note you wont have to do this if your taming a low level since high levels require more eggs other than that use a cryopod and fly away
To help as well, the egg has to be in sight line. Was in a rocky terrain and it just couldnt register behind the rock. Wyvern eggs were super helpful, and easy to get considering no one wants anything under a level and sacrificing 50s and stuff. To help reiterate a crucial tip i read above, delete rocks around the area and maybe aggressive creatures. I lost 7 eggs fighting for my life and ruining so much time i could be dance battling a baby. Leaving the area ruins the taming percentage so make sure you have all the boxes checked.
Can someone please make a tip about where to find one!? I am desperate to tame one!
Do not leave the area, because if you do the game will be completely canceled. I did this because my tribe mate died and I was the only one on, turned out that it was just a gigantopithicus that only killed my friend and didn’t want anything to do with our tames. So I left for nothing with only two “dances” left to go.
I just found one of these on ragnarok anyone know what’s going on?
Just don't lose your cool and be patient. I did freak out when I first tried to tame it bc the mother would aggro on me all the time or just get too far away and it wouldn't work. So I killed any other dinos around that could be a threat to the mom, got more eggs, (Rex eggs, the best ones I have at the moment), and used an Argentavis to drop the eggs not too far away, just enough where I would be able to see the big bird. Used full ghillie suit. The mother eventually gets back to the nest even if she hasn't eaten all the eggs, then you have to get away, and wait for her to go back to eggs, and that's how it goes. The taming effectiveness won't go down if you get out of the nest, only if you get the minigame wrong. In my singleplayer that on 4x for taming, just 4 eggs were needed. It's a super fun tame once you get it right, and it's absolutely worth it. The babies are the cutest ever
Tamed a 145 with Low Level Poison Wyvern Eggs, it chews very long on one Egg ;)
All of these are false tips. You have to have a fertilized egg and multiples. 3 rock drake eggs didn't even tame a lvl 120 on 2x. I needed at least 8. Seems like alot of work for a simple creature especially when everything aggressive to you and it. Reapers are easier than this tame. It's ridiculous
You can trap the parent Gigantoraptor (unlike what most tutorials say), but you must make sure it can escape. Create a stone trap using a gate that it can easily get in and out of. Lure the parent into the trap, shut the door, do minigame with baby, then open trap and run, and repeat. This is a strategy I just tested, and it worked perfectly. You have to make sure the parent can return to the nest, so make the trap close by, but still out of aggro range of the nest so you can build it. Regular stone gates work, no need for behemoth.
Easiest way to tame a high level:
Tame a very low level (you’ll only need a few eggs)
Then you can kill a high level and imprint on its baby with your low level skipping the whole process!
Their Not on mobile right now sadly Hope were gonna get them soon
