IDNeon Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I couldn't find this doing several google searches. So apparently a 4 high barrier (wall or close pillars) will stop a Giga? But how high can a Giga attack? Can they attack turrets on behemoth gates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danouk Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Well I am not sure but if something that is his height he can probably attract it has a few days ago I was on a quetzel and I was about maybe a bit higher then his height and he was able to reach me and I was dead. So there is a possibility that he could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
courtx Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 They can definitely attack at their head height. When swams of dimos come to me they are taken out instantly. I think they also attack 10 foundations inward of any barrier (because they clip). However on PVE official I see a giga chewing on a wood base and xplant turret and none of it took any damage. Not sure if they added some anti-giga-griefing system.?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malice Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I read, on a forum in the past, that 4 walls high keeps them from coming over, but they can, apparently, still reach 10 foundations in. So, in my paranoia, I like to have my walls at least that high, with spikes around them and plant species x turrets x.x; I play on a private dedicated unofficial server with only two other people (boyfriend and close friend). Haven't had a giga come close yet. But I'm still staying a little prepared I'm sure the plant turrets are a bad idea, considering it enrages when taking either too much damage at once or being hit in rapid succession (?) to hard (like 7 rexes at once or something). But ehhh. On another note, you need to remember that, even though they can't cross over a wall that high, they can still attack through it. So be cautious.

DiloFodder Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 it's actually a 3 high wall that can stop a giga from getting past: as far as the attack height goes, i've hit dimos circling about twice standard human height above my giga's head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mkruisje Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Well I have seen a Youtube video where a giga came over a wall of 4 high. It was build on a steep area around a mountain, so I think if your area is flat 4 should be enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A behemoth gateway stands the equivalent of 12 walls high, your turrets are definitely safe. Unless it rips down your gateway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d1nk Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Its like 7-8 high they attack..we made a forge tower that a giga can't munch on 9 high (tested it ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadman Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 I've heard that the wall needs to be 6 high for a giga. I know for a fact they can get over 4 high walls, I've seen that happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d1nk Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 8 hours ago, Martyn said: If you're on flat ground a 3 high will stop them. If there's an inclination on outside of wall, it won't, because to all intents your 3 high wall is only 2 high then. That said, i've seen gigas jump off rocks and cliffs to get into bases and i've seen them run up cliffs to kill people on quetz's overhead. So if you wanna be sure. Go 4 high. And as mentioned above, don't put spikes next to a 3 high well.. cos that makes your fence 2 high. And they'll roll right over it. It you're going to use spikes, make them 2-3 fences deep and about 2 fences out from your wall, they might walk on the first 1-2 but they'll soon run from the damage they deal. Rarely seen alphas attack spikes.. herbs will, they'll beat themselves to death on them. Another problem with spikes is they can push a dino around them, if there's a rise or weak point or you're on the sea and maybe have a stone wall there.. then you could be in trouble. Also if you have windows in your walls or have gone for the cheaper option of using doorways, alphas can see through them, they'll often hang around near your base and you'll get a shock when leaving to go harvesting, good practice to fly your perimeter when you log in. Giga's also see tho windows etc and will target through them. If you have a stone base, that's a good way to say good bye base and dinos. Essentially, you can build a 4-5 high thatch wall and if the giga cannot see inside, it won't attack. But if you have plant x or it hits the wall going for a wild dino maybe it might aggro dinos on neutral.. and thats all it needs to aggro in. So if you have a weak base, no plant x unless you group them 3 together, no windows or doorways. You should be fine. How high do I need a roofed enclosure to be to house my gigas?

Yes, if you look directly up when on top of a giga, and walk backwards/forwards, you can bite the plant turrets above behemoth gates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not think that walls work the same way, you have to have a higher wall than the pillars for some reason. I found in personal testing that you have to make a pillar 11 or 12 high to prevent a giga from damaging a ceiling on top of them, this is waaaayy above the gigas head. The gigas aoe above their heads is huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parakeet Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 17 minutes ago, Martyn said: I actually have a question.. Can a giga, which is higher than 4 fences btw.. bite something that is also higher than 4 fences on the other side of the wall? ie it isn't biting down "through" the wall, but biting across the top of it? In which case.. my boundary wall is about to go up to 8 high. I've never actually seen a giga next to a wall higher than 4. Usually bases in north are roofed and well protected. Peeps in south however.. somewhat lazier. Yes, damage in this game will go over the wall. Your wall does not extend invisibly into the air stopping the giga from biting.
