Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a gigantoraptor? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a gigantoraptor.
If you're bold and lucky like me, you don't need the eggs. Just a full ghillie suit
Throw down an egg to distract the parent. As it's eating, trap it with metal billboards, and you don't have to worry about the parent escaping. Thanks Syntac!
It can be spawned in the consle commands menu
You can NOT imprint on orphaned gigantoraptor, I learned that the hard way😢😢😢😢😢😢😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
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.
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.
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.
ASA player here! Not even a week in, and I've already tamed one of these cuties!
Let's start this fairly easy tame, NO EGGS:
- 4 stone gates & doors (a hefty amount of stone, wood, and trash, but you got this!)
- Your trusty getaway dino if needed (I used raptor, but he wasn't needed!)
- Bow & arrow
You don't need beartraps, but if it makes you feel safer, go ahead!
PREPARE
Place down your gates and doors relatively close to the nest. If it helps, clear any trees or foliage that might make it hard to see the parent Giganotoraptor.
Shoot the parent with an arrow or two while staying nice and snug in your trap. Once they're inside, close the doors on them and hop right in the nest!
THE MINIGAME
Baby will run up to you and flap it's wings when it wants to play. I play on PS5, so the controls are fairly easy to remember: Left to spin, down to bow, right to flap. You have about 3-5 seconds of doing it before you miss.
After a few goes, it's all yours!
CONCERNS
- If the baby does not engage with you after a while, try aggroing the parent again, or let it go back to the nest for a bit before luring it back in. It should help fix the problem! I haven't tried the destroying nest bit yet, but do feel free to try if this doesn't work.
- This hasn't happened to me, but sometimes the parent can escape. Just try to put it back in!
Hope this helps tame your fluffy critter!
