What are tips for gigantoraptor? Tips and strategies for gigantoraptor in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
So the eggs didn’t work on the ones I got. I had to wait for the parent to be fighting something and was able to sit in the nest. I don’t know if that’s normal or not but I was able to get two of them that way.
Bro thank god you don’t need fertilised egg.What you need(full gully.And an egg preferable yuti
**If you already have a Gigantoraptor then kill the parent and imprint with the one you have. **Note: YOU cannot imprint, you MUST imprint using and riding the adult one you have. Otherwise do the mini game. :)
You DON’T need ghillie! I’ve tamed multiple without it!
All you need is a fertilized egg to distract the parent, I’d recommend using stego or diplo eggs.
All you need to do is
1. Throw a fertilized egg around 25-50m from the nest (stego usually works for 1 minigame, diplo works for 3).
2. Approach the nest from the opposite direction after the parent notices the egg. Crouch once you’re close to the nest and slowly move towards it.
3. Hide in the nest and wait for the baby to walk up, then copy its dance move.
If you’re using stego eggs, you’ll want to place a new egg between every minigame.
If you’re using diplo eggs, get out and back into the nest and wait for the baby to come back (takes around 10-15s). You’ll want to place a new egg after 3 minigames.
When you’re going to place a new egg, get out of the nest and crouch, try to move very slowly until you’re completely off of the nest and get around 10m away before standing up. Repeat steps 1-3
4. Once the baby is tamed, RUN FOR IT, the parent will immediately become uninterested in the egg and may come after you and your new child!
Notes:
I’ve tried taming with and without ghillie armor, both have worked just the same.
I’ve tried taming with ghillie armor and no eggs, and I’ve never been able to complete a minigame. Even if the parent is a decent distance away, it aggros as soon as the kid walks into the nest!
Adult gigantoraptors aren’t aggressive once their nest breaks(a while after their baby is tamed or killed), but they will eat corpses, and if you harvest a corpse that they want then they will attack you. I find it best to kill them so that a new one can spawn with a baby, but if you don’t plan to be harvesting corpses near one then they can still be helpful for keeping the area more peaceful.
You don't even need a full Ghillie suit to tame these guys, I was missing the Ghillie shoes and it still worked like a charm. Amazing creature: fast, has different attacks, and has bonus for babies. Recommended tame!
Don't need eggs take a full grown Gigaraptor kill mom then riding use r3 babies bottles will show up put crossbar on baby h I t triangle will tame
READ THE WHOLE THING IF YOU WANT TO TAME A GIGANTORAPTOR please. So I did an oopsy by not whereing ghile but have no fear just make a stone box about 2x2 one door frame and two walls up just in case and make the ramp walk by the mom she will get angry then run into the trap she follow them leav through yo doorway place wood spike walls on the out side of it and get rid of the ramp now mommy is safley traped so you can kidnap her baby.
For everyone trying to tame one without eggs you need to tame one at night in full ghille. If you try during the day the parent will see you in the nest
Quick easy tame after having a gigantoraptor kill parent and use the gigantoraptor to claim don't gain as many levels but for quick females for breeding is great technique
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A LOT OF FURT EGGS. Find the adult look for the nest and when you find the nest you need to distract the mama with furt eggs the bigger the better and hide in the nest and wait for the baby to come to you and initiate a capy what I did mini game there is spin bow and flap it will be random dn you have to be fast depending on the size of the egg you might get to copy's in then you have to stop hiding and walk away a little before the mama finishes the egg and goes to the nest to check them all you need to do is repet it and make sure your dino you came with is a good distance so mama doesn't agro mama has to be alive for the taming to work
To distract parent place pillars 2 high and stand on the other side and they can’t damage you through the pillar.. stand and wait while your tribemate dances with baby
1. Find a nest
2. Trap parent
3. Hide in nest
4. Use emote when promoted, Copy the baby.
5. Do this until tamed.
6. All done
Instead of trying to distract the parent with fertilized eggs, bring a reasonably "tanky" tamed dino, one with high health/armor and a good saddle. Trike, stego, turtle, etc. Whistle it to passive.
Approach the parent while riding it, wait for the parent to aggro on it, and lead it a short distance from the nest (not too far or taming won't work). While parent is still aggroed on the tame, hop off, run around, and hide in the nest. Then start taming the baby when it does it's dances.
The parent may lose interest in the tanky dino, so be prepared to run back over, hop back on, and nip at the parent again. Wash and repeat.
The whole process is much easier with two people, one to ride the tank and the other to tame the baby.
Trap the mom near by with billboards if possible then wait for de agro hop in nest and wait for baby to come back then mimic it's emotes as a mini game untill it's tamed.
Toss fert eggs on ground short distance from nest, when gigantoraptor start pecking or consuming egg get in nest.baby will approach and do animation and three options will pop up, copy baby animation by pressing collating button above hotbar. Leave nest when parent finishes eating egg repeat until tamed
Easy Two Person Tame. Use bug to block mom/dad from getting close to nest. The other person tame away with one of the three jesters the baby will do in yhe nest. Kill the parent afterwards. And repeat. Easier with three people. Two trap with bug, third tame baby. Egg method only needed if solo. Hot tip, run parent off cliff if close, tame baby. Parent has to be within s certain distance.
Your Welcome
Mulhnar
Build a barrier around nest and then build a box 2x2 by nest with 2 wall high around it in barrier with nest and put the parent in the box and you can tame baby peacefully with out wilds or the parent trying to attack you
So once you find a nest, you have a couple options. You can throw fertilized eggs as a distraction for the mother, or you can aggro her off a cliff or so where she can't make it back, then deaggro. Mother only targets one egg at a time between checking her nest, so if you use the egg route, throw one at a time. A pile of eggs doesn't distract longer than one egg. Once mama is busy and deaggrod, go interact with the nest (same key as mounting) and wait for the baby to come back and make noise. A mini game with 3 emotes (spin, bow, flap arms) will appear and you need to hit the key that matches to make progress. If using the egg method, one imprint is usually all you'll get between eggs, depending on size I believe.
Distract mom: Use fert eggs (giga, carchar, and yuti have worked for us so far) or a tribe mate to get agro (apparently you can also cage her in with gates if you’re able to build)
Imprint: hide in nest, wait for the baby to come jump up and down then do one of 3 motions you must imitat Distract mom: Use fert eggs (giga, carchar, and yuti have worked for us so far) or a tribe mate to get agro (apparently you can also cage her in with gates if you’re able to build)
Imprint: hide in nest, wait for the baby to come jump up and down then do one of 3 motions you must imitate in a short time frame (wheel above head)
mom Won’t like you in her nest if she sees you.
Easiest way. Trap mom with gates or signs. Then do emotes with the babies
