Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a gigantoraptor? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a gigantoraptor.
Laid out one egg then flew near the nest and waited for parent to go. Snuck into nest and hid. Did all the moves. When parent had finish the egg I just stayed still and carried on with imprinting baby. Got lvl 70 and after tame lvl 94. I'm must've been lucky parent didn't chase me. Wore ascendeded Ghillie and riot Armour.
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
Trapping mama does not work must be distracted by egg and not aggro to anything up to keep updated
Clear Area of hostiles, land flyer/dino on rock away from area, run into nest and start taming. Aslong as no tribemates, or other players come by and take moms agro, should be able to tame with ease as mother is just walking on nest not attacking, no need for eggs, traps or friends. If someone comes by as your taming and grabs mom agro it will stop taming until they leave or hostile is eleminated.
Will it be aggressive Like the amargasaur?
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.
Parent cannot he trapped or baby enters go into the imprint stage. Best bet is to have full asc ghillie and sneak into nest while parent is facing away. No eggs needed. If u prefer to use eggs then I've found yuti to be one of the best. Generally get at least 3 imprints per egg. Once baby is tamed the parent will no longer aggro on you but it's best to kill her as she won't spawn another baby there. Once grown you have the ability to imprint on any orphan baby dino by using its call then getting close to baby, putting cross-hairs on it and pressing triangle. You can also incubate 2 eggs at a time in the saddle which will not hatch after timer expires until prompted to do so. Add the eggs by placing in chickens inventory, selecting the egg, then in the centre bottom of screen u have the option to add egg to basket. You can also bond with any baby dino up to rex size I believe, by placing dino in basket and killing creatures that have a red skull n xbones over them. Once bonded you can then give the baby a 30% imprint by killing and eating a bunch of dino. Bonded dino also get a nice boost while close to the graptor, making them good to take to boss fights, paired with the yuti boost. Multiple dino can be bonded to one adult. Adult graptors also produce feathers u can plick every once in a while that will give a higher % chance to pass a pre determined higher stat to baby when breeding. Just place the desired feather type in the mother when breeding. Shares spawns with theri
I tamed using fertilized Dimorphodon eggs and was able to get one baby interaction per egg.
Where to find.
Been seeing them in large numbers around green on. The spawn in jungles and I've noticed they most often spawn on the cliff edges on jungle mountains.
How to tame.
DO NOT KILL THE PARENT! We also could not get the baby to emote with the parent far away. Best to Dino door trap parent within 50ish feet (stone, they can damage wood).kill anything hostile in the area. Hide in the nest and mimic the babies emotes.
Raising.
Berries
Don't worry about trying to trap the parent.
Just put down a foundation and four walls, and throw your eggs in the middle. If you have the mats, make a bigger box with higher walls, and throw the eggs in different places throughout. The parent will aggro on the eggs but struggle to reach them, which will buy you more time.
I trapped two parents of two different nests with one trap using this method and tamed both babies without aggroing the parents.
Bonus tip: if your eggs hatch, the parents will relentlessly attempt to kill whatever has hatched.
I saw a video about it, if the parent dies you can’t tame it, has to dance with you while the parent leaves
Steps to tame on officials:
1) use bug and have partner
2)find nest you want
3)bug driver eats everything around then picks and holds parent the whole time facing away from nest but not too far from it
4)partner gets in the nest
5)partner tames baby then cryopods it
6)eat parent as they dont ever spawn another baby in nest
7)fly off into the distance happy as can be.
Congrats! Your first Gigantoraptor! And even got to save on eggs.
While raising: feed meat.
Seems to be timed like an allo. Give or take 30mins. Good Luck!
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
Found around red obelisk and green obelisk, parent needs to be close to the nest as everytime you complete a prompt with the baby, the baby will want to return within a certain radius to the adult near the nest and may return for a second prompt if adult is still busy eating fertilised egg.
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: Locate in the wild.
Step 2: ????????????????
Step 3: Profit!

You need to put down an fert egg (giga or carcha best) wait for the giga raptor to start eating it then sit in nest and copy babie actions, taming afficence is dependant on what fert egg u use
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
You will need to sneak into the nest while the mother is alive and not aggro’d, the intended way to do this is with fertilised eggs as a distraction. Ghillie recommended. Once you are hidden in the nest the baby will approach and perform actions, this is a quick time event where you need to mimick those actions with ASD keys. Correct mimicry will fill the babies taming bar.
Bring cryopods or something that can carry the baby away like a rhynio so that you and the baby can bounce once the game is successful to avoid the now childless mother
take plenty of fertilised eggs.
1. drop egg near nest. too far and parent wont take it. too close and parent will aggro you.
2. when parent takes the egg, walk to the nest (dont run) select option to hide in nest.
3. wait for baby to come to you, mimic the emote the baby does from the 3 emotes available.
4. repeat previous steps until fully tamed.
Dont move to far away or tame progress will be lost. Kill parent after tame as they do not spawn another baby.
