Badatark420 Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 I wanna tame a giga, i have all the resources required to tame up to level 300 will satying on top of a high hill work? Im thinking ofstaying on top of a mountain (fars peak) and tranqing from above but i have spent hours grinding resources. Will this method work as i dont have a quetzal i do have a ptero and a low level rex as well as a lvl 110 spino? I really want a giga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volunteer Moderator Joebl0w13 Posted May 5, 2021 Volunteer Moderator Share Posted May 5, 2021 Yup. Right until that wild giga walks straight up the mountain. If I had a dollar. “Is it really…” dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really want a giga best way of doing a giga is to trap it.....Iv seen em climb impossibly vertical cliffs before to give me a hug. Ontop of that, if you do manage to get it stuck and start to knock it out, it will run away after it figures out it can't get to you. But its a deception. As far as traps go, stone is able to be destroyed by giga, so you got to go with metal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Austria Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 No he run away when he get much torpor. 3 metal dino gates with a large trapp kit it in and when the trapp snaps put a Metal dinogate behind him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Domica Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 As I also haven't tried to get a Giga, would a hanging from Argy with a friend fying be possible for shooting? For quetz managed to get it to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyBear Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 just need 4 metal billboards and 1 large bear trap, make a U shape, w/ trap in middle. It gets caught by bear trap, u go behind it and set down that 4th billboard - done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtnDrew Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 You're going to have to trap it. Either it will walk up the mountain and eat you or it will take enough hits to induce torpor flee and then you'll need to chase it, and they're too fast to chase on almost anything. Use whatever crossbows you have to knock it out, hopefully you've been killing alpha raptors and carnos and have a few upgraded crossbows. You'll need several as they will wear out. Tranq darts or shocking tranq darts are too expensive to use on something with 80k health. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnieb Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Low level maybe but high level no it will flee probably loose topor turn around and eat you while you're chasing it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are plenty of good vidoes on youtube showing ways to tame gigas, it would be a good idea to watch a few of them before you try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkholis Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Can it work? Yes. Is it efficient? Hell no. Save yourself some headache and build a proper trap to lure the thing. You don't need to build anything crazy, 3-4 metal dino gateframes will do. As mentionned by others, check out YT videos in that regard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iAgnehole Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 If you solo tame a giga without a trap it will take more tranqs to get it down because you need to hit every shot or else the torpor will drop, and when you are chasing it down when its fleeing it can be hard to hit it with the right intervals to keep the torpor raising. So just build a trap its much easier and cheaper in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gigas loose torpor way to quick and move way to fast. Perhaps if you had several quetzals and each of them had a really good driver (my guy was good but with how squirly the gigas are he found it fairly difficult to keep me lined up for shots, maybe grappling hooks would have made the difference tho) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllOfTheAllos Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 It'll run up the cliff. Or it'll realize it's being tranqed and run away before you make it drop. Use a trap. Or, if it's a giga that's stuck and you're fairly sure it'll stay stuck, use a flying mount you can stand on (I personally prefer crystal wyverns: fast, easily replaceable, can be used to protect the creature after it's knocked out) - it's better than a cliff: you decide how close you want it to be to the giga, how high, AND if it gets free it won't be able to reach you anyway.

When I landed to look at its stats I guess the game was lagging or something cause as I was looking at it, its torpor went from like 75% full to zero in an instant and it stood up and ate me and my quetz.

For quetz managed to get it to work. typically they run away after awhile, can be a serious pain in the rear to chase em down. It really is best to trap them. But there are some really creative giga traps out there, give youtube a quick search and see whats out there. Also, bring 1000+ narco. They wake up QUICK!

DodoEmperor Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Definitively 1000+ narcotics, I highly suggest using biotoxins. As for taming, I would suggest a 5 (not sure 4 are enough) behemoth gates trap (stone is usually good, weekest point is the gate). Use a high damage crossbow/long-neck, wild giga HPs are not at issue at all. Use a very fast dino with a very good saddle and good HPs.. or a player with good armor (1500+) a lot of medial brews (30+), better with some skill points into speed (focal chili is also good alternative) and some luck. if you have genesis you can use pressure plates instead of closing manually the gate behind the beast once it is inside the trap. Try to not allow a rex to pass between gateways, so you will be sure the giga will not escape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try to not allow a rex to pass between gateways, so you will be sure the giga will not escape. 4 is good enough, but its best to use them on flatish ground, doing it on nearly verticle surfaces ls tricky. Also in most traps you can get away with a sneaky little gap here n there. This is the one time you do NOT want a gap......if a rex can get through it, so can a giga.

AceVP Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Just TRAP it and use metal don't use stone next thing ya know he ate the stone and your dead. Trapping it in Metal Gates is the most easiest way to tame a giga, Lots of Darts and a good amount of Narc's too. 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Giga's are not like titans on there level, Also there knock out stats is going to change after taming. Change as in loosing lots of health and other stats.. There boosted in the wild.
