Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a ? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a .
I remember playing fjorder back during evolved days, and having a teammate that would repeatedly attempt to kill the fjorder boss. He kept dying over and over until she eventually killed it. He managed to get 3 fenrirs before logging off never to be seen again. And then I let a rando into the tribe and they unclaimed all my creatures left the tribe and took everything with them ;-;
a few things about argentavis:
advantages:
1. they are super useful as they have a 50% weight reduction on metal,crystal and obsidian
2. they can pick up medium sized dinos like the parasaur or raptor
3.whenever they eat corpses,they get a rapid regeneration that heals them fast as heck
disadvantages:
1:found in arctic and mountain areas which are both dangerous
2: flys slow
3:their saddle unlocks at lvl 62
i spent a lot of time writing this

If you tame this creature outside a cave(especially revival tame etc.)Creatures on every cave will still argo you, if you want to be ignored and be vulnerable(unless u don't attack any of them) against cave creatures/caves, tame a araneo/arthroupleura inside a cave, once you've tamed it, no cave creatures will attack you(unless you won't attack them). idk if this work on pc, but works on mobile for me.:v
The things you need to tame a giga:-
1)Flyer (recommending an argy).
2)4-5 dinosaur metal gateways.
3)1-2 large bear traps.
4)10x soothing balm if your playing on mobile.
5)Your KO weapon (most recommended are ascendant longneck rifle or ascendant crossbow).
6)Your KO ammo (bring a decent amount).
7)Taming food of your choice (most recommended is raw prime meat or kibble if you can).
8)Decent amount of narcotics or bio toxin.
FIND GIGA: gigas usually spawn at mountains. On the island try looking around the volcano or the two mountains in the snow area.
SET YOUR TRAP: take 3 of your metal gateways and make this shape \_/ then put a large bear trap or 2 in the middle. It’s easier if you build the trap on flat ground.
TRAP THE GIGA: get the giga to follow you and make it go inside the trap, then make sure it’s caught in the bear trap. When it’s stuck in the bear trap go behind it and complete the trap with another gateway. The final shape of the trap looks like a Trapezoidal.
KO THE GIGA: even a low level giga has a lot of torpor and it drops fast so keep shooting no matter what. It’s recommended for a tribe-mate to help you.
START FEEDING: put the food in the giga’s inventory and keep an eye on it’s torpor.
I hope this was helpful 😊
Since it seems like nobody knows what this does:
-It poops massive poops, the largest poops you’ll ever find.
-It’s a temporary tame since it can’t eat, so it dies from hunger.
-It’s the strongest Dino, and the best way to tame is putting cannons on quetzals and flying far enough it can’t reach you and you can still shoot it. Once it’s unconscious putting the saddle in its inventory will instantly tame it.
-On ark mobile, if you do the kill giga quest, you get a free titanosaur platform saddle.
-Although it’s tempting to build huge bases on it, since it’s a temporary tame it’s not worth it to try super big bases.

It’s OFFICIAL:
You can only acquire a Fenrir (lvl150) after defeating the Fenrirsūlfr (Fjourd boss) the resulting tame is delivered in a cryopod after the boss dies.
The reason Dododex say it’s a knockout tame is because if you spawn a wild Fenrir you can knock one out and tame it that way, the only down side being the Fenrir CANT spawn in the wild
