How do I tame a gigantoraptor? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a gigantoraptor.
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
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
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.
Taming:
Take plenty of fertilised eggs.
Drop egg away from the nest, not too far or the parent wont go to it, not too close or the parent will aggro you while taming.
When parent goes to the egg, walk to nest (dont run) select option to hide in nest and wait for baby to come to you.
Mimic the emote the baby uses from the 3 emotes available.
repeat until baby is tamed.
Dont move out of render distance if aggrod or tame progress will be lost.
Spin
Bow
Flap
And be very careful not to get caught in the nest
OK first thing you gotta do is either lure mother of a cliff or feed it a egg. While the mother is distracted be in nest and look down at it. Press Triangle is on ps5, should say hide in nest. Next wait for baby to approach you, it will jump for joy and flap is wings when it sees you, then it will do a emote and will start the mini game. Just rinse and repeat the mini game and it will tame. Very easy not hard at all.
Where do you find these things
Will it be aggressive Like the amargasaur?
Hmm a new Dino? Cool! Pretty sure it’s on rag
Btw I’m pretty sure I’m the second tip!!
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
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 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
1. Find a nest
2. Trap parent
3. Hide in nest
4. Use emote when promoted, Copy the baby.
5. Do this until tamed.
6. All done
I’ve tamed 4 of these now and every time I’ve trapped the parent
You don’t need eggs you just need a friend to take the adult away long enough for you to hop in the nest. In order for the mini game to be triggered the baby needs to path back into the nest and become startled. The adult has to be near the nest and no longer agro’d in order for the baby to become startled upon pathing back into the nest.
Me and a friend of mine find it helps to have a Ghillie suit while hiding in the nest and the mother won’t see you unless you stop hiding.
