Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a gigantoraptor? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a gigantoraptor.
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!
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
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
Where do you find these things
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.

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.
Will it be aggressive Like the amargasaur?
You’re gonna need a bunch of fertilized eggs for a high level one. The higher the level of the Gigantoraptor, the quicker it munches through your precious fertilized eggs. I was only able to get one interaction per giganoto egg, and on 1x, the bar goes up ~2.8% every interaction on a level 150.
On a level 20 g-raptor, I was able to get 3 interactions off per egg, and it went up ~11% every time on 1x.
If you’re on 1x taming, prepare to need 35+ giga eggs for a level 150.
You don’t need a ghillie suit to tame you just have to get an egg place it and wait for the mother to go to it then you jump in the nest and get the baby… THEN RUN FOR YOUR LIFE HE IS NOT STOPPING good luck
If you already have an adult gigantoraptor; use it to kill the mother, press R3 and claim the baby whilst still on your gigantoraptor, might have to chase it a bit 😂 then cryo it and go home.
On this last x2 on official abberation i used 5 rockdrake eggs on a 120 got roughly 20% each egg the mom ate. Once the mom starts eating the egg jump in with you ghillie suit on, i tried without ghillie and maybe just me but i got noticed
ANY fertilized eggs will work (I used dodo eggs no prob)
You do need fertilized eggs.I tested it, it didn’t care at all about the eggs that aren’t fertilized.And I’m pretty sure you can’t use a trap because I tested that as well and the baby was frozen.BUT the trap was kinda far away from the baby so if you put it really close to the nest it might work.
Don’t let the egg hatch
It’ll agroo on u and the baby so make sure it’s not the right hatching climate
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
