Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a gigantoraptor? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a gigantoraptor.
1. Tame a giganotraptor and wait for it to successfully grow and name it Oviraptor king\queen.
2. Tame a bit of Oviraptors and name them warrior 1-39.
And you have a cute little Oviraptor kingdom!
Would be cool if someone actually commented useful tips like where it spawns or what region it spawns, or in info or a map marking, instead of “hey guys did you know this is a bird?” 😑
‼️ 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.
Make sure to secure it with walls so it doesn’t come and attack you. Throw fertilised eggs at it ( bronto or wyvern ) and it still be distracted and you can get it’s baby which would be in the nest or really close to the nest.

You can kill the parent and claim it with another gigantoraptor and receive the taming increase.
I recently tamed one and it was hard,
but I recommend to have a friend watching to give you update's
on what is happening.
