Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a gigantoraptor? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a gigantoraptor.
I tamed using fertilized Dimorphodon eggs and was able to get one baby interaction per egg.
Trapping the parent, or surrounding the nest with walls, no longer works. The parent MUST have access to the nest.
Step 1: sneak in nest
Step 2: hide in nest
Step 3: play with baby
Step 4: raise baby
Step 5: enjoy
Drop egg a short distance from the nest to distract the parent then hide inside the nest the baby will approach you and do one of three dances you have to match the dance emote to start the taming
So first of all this tame is much easier with two people. First thing to do is get the parent away from the nest/baby with fert eggs we used giga eggs and once you do have the second person stand on top of it with a Rhynio or anything like that to get it stuck. Once the second person is standing on it you go into the nest and tame the baby. Make sure the baby stays away from the parent because if they get to close the parents will agro. Lastly if the parent agros the only way to get it to stop and keep it away from the nest is to knock it out and let it wake up again otherwise you will have to go in and out of render until they de agro
To tame the Nanny bird you need to find a nest(usualy in forested or grassy areas) and distract the parent, DO NOT KILL IT. Once the parent is distracted or unable to get back to you and the nest, hid inside the nest and play a game of Simon says with the baby. It will do 1 of 3 emotes which you must respond to quickly and mimic. After you have successfully tamed the baby it will gain bonus levels
You just survive the mother, don’t kill her. And then do emotes to the baby in the nest (sounds crazy but yes this is for real) to raise taming effectiveness. Currently we are attempting to trap the mother close by to then attempt the passive emote taming
I hope the osd taming method gets added it’s my favorite part
Theis Eggs make superior kibble.
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
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.
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
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.
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
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.
First step, throw a fert. egg and distract the mother.
Second Step, sneak to the nest and press the hide button.
Third step, wait for the baby to approach and interact with you, mimic it and get the taming.
Fourth step, repeat it till it reaches 100% and go with it.
Beside that you can put only babies with same or lower level then the Gigantoraptor himself, they will feed from his inventory while they are still baby, so don’t need anymore handfeeding. And it seems that there is a size cap too, gigas don’t work.
As extra you can refresh imprinting of your babies with his special move and detect babies and wild babies.
Obrussa 🤝
Use fert eggs to agro the parent away, or use argy to kite them off a ledge, do not attack or kill parent as this will terminate the tame. After parent is away from nest, hide in nest by walking up and press indicated button, once hidden in nest, the baby will walk up to you and either Spin, Bow, or Flap, you must copy the dance by pressing the corresponding keys/buttons.
Can’t tame for like 1-2 weeks have done everything fully gilly giga egg nothing mom still finds me no matter what
