Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a gigantoraptor? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a gigantoraptor.
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!
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)
Step one. Sneak into nest
Step two. Imprint on babys.
Step three. Run for your life with baby.
I had 1 rex egg with me cause i thought it was enough , it wasnt but i had full ghille armor on and was able to tame it with the mother next to me not seeing i was in the nest.
**If you already have a Gigantoraptor!!**
1. Have Gigantoraptor
2. Kill the wild parent
3. Find baby - easier to wait until it stops running away
4. Roar your Gigantoraptor (should be crouch button while riding)
5. While still riding Gigantoraptor, look at baby and press the claim button (Xbox = Y, Playstation = Triangle)
— If you dismount tame, get back on and try again, claim message should appear when in the right range —
IMPORTANT!!!
- If the wild baby is a HIGHER level then your own Gigantoraptor at tame ( Wild = 150, Yours =130) you are not allowed to hold it in your basket — You might still be able to claim it, but I am still unsure:(
Not sure why people say you cant tame baby gigaraptor with parent trapped. I did it today as of March 30 2024. Used 6 foundations, 4 dino gates with doors, 4 walls (2high each side). Lure parent into trap, close gate, go to nest to tame. After a couple mimic attempts baby doesn't do mimic gestures. Probably why they say it doesn't work. But if you make 1 of the stone walls a secret door way, go in trap, punch parent (to gain aggro) leave trap thru secret door way, leave aggro range(or until away from parents render distance) go back to nest, repeat. I found this resets the baby to do gestures again and parent is trapped the whole time.
Okay. Find a nest. Usually around rivers and grass/jungle areas.
The baby will always be around the nest. If it's not, there's a number of bugs that can be the cause.
For this to work; The baby and the nest and the mom all have to be together in the same close vicinity.
Okay, the correct way to distract the mother is to throw out a fertilized egg close by.
Aggro will get you a few times but keep trying till you get it right.
Once you see the animation of her eating the fertilized egg, go to the nest. Hide in it.
The baby will now come to you after a few moments if not bugged and will literally get into a stance in front of you.
It will preform 1 of 3 moves. D pad, Left, Down, Right
All little mimic/dance moves that increase the babys taming with each successful one you do in time, mimicking it.
After mom gets done eating she immediately comes straight back to the nest.
My experience allowed me to just quickly run from her in time while her back was turned in that split second moment from hiding.... but definitely keep a flying creature close by in case of things going south.
The larger the fertilized egg, the longer she takes to eat it. Eggs that worked for me was Rexs, Carchs, Gigas, Brontos, Yutis, All the eggs of those creatures worked for me and it took her at least a good solid +45-60 seconds to eat them each. For max levels.
Good Luck Out There! I Hope This Helps!
This creature is crazy fun!!! Has a flutter ability exactly like the Terror Bird but the gliding is WAY more maneuverable. Jumps like a Reaper almost compared to size. Main attack uses its Beak, and other attack will use both its huge legs to separately stomp. Aloooooot of other crazy good features to this Oviraptorosaur, specifically to do with babies.
Tame it and find out for yourself 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙏🏻
Using ghillie at night doesn’t work 🥲
Two days and two hour raise. On trough in 5 hours.
Mama must be distracted by fert eggs. Rex, giga, carchar eggs are better. If you kill mama, baby won't imprint. Imprint on baby must be done while mama is distracted pecking at eggs. Once she eats the egg, she will attack you. Retreat, wait for her to calm, throw another egg, rinse and repeat.
New patch no longer lets you tame the baby while parent is trapped. You now have to use the egg drop method.
If you already have an adult g-raptor, go kill the wild parent and then run up to the orphaned baby while you’re on your g-raptor, until you’re close enough to imprint on it, just like a normal wild orphaned Dino. The g-raptor allows you to imprint on wild dinos and also gives a small tame boost
If you have an adult giga raptor depending on the lvl of baby you can kill parent and tame baby using the baby call with ur current one.
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!!
1) Bring Fertilized eggs with you try for a bigger Dino egg to be safe, you might need about 2-4
2) Drop egg close to nest but make sure its far enough away so that the Gigantoraptor will come out and won't aggro you while you are in the nest
3) Run into nest and "hide" in the nest and wait for baby to come into the nest
4) Mirror the movements of the baby
5) Repeat until tamed
Another thing you can do is bring a friend to pick up the mom with a Rhynio and you can the baby with no issues, I just wouldn't kill the mom as it might affect the taming process.
Last tip: Once tamed pluck feathers as they can be used in breeding to get higher Stat of parents
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
If it’s fed and satisfied you can tame it without using anymore eggs
Taming 3x already without ghillie and eggs,, just use ptera to lure it somewhere nearby, make it busy like fighting with dilo or something. Just make sure it won't die, after that run to the nest and hide in it, if the battle music still on then it still chasing you but if the music are off then it's successful and it won't hunt ya again, ah and no need to get out from the nest each time you succeed on copying the baby movements, momy won't disturb ya either 👍
Didn't know they are picky eaters. They either eat berries or meat.
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 🤣
