Ark Basics Giganotosaurus - TAMING THE KING OF ARK - EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW 

stonehenge is just a giga trap

“Giganotosaurus” means giant southern lizard.

2-3 thylos will rage them or stepping on one Lego piece will also do it.

For anyone looking for some exact stats here's what it took me: - Level 69 giga - 192 tranq arrows from an ascendant crossbow - 300 narcotics - ~3000 narcoberries - 800 metal and 250 cement paste for 5 gates - About 40 cooked prime meat for 95% efficiency, took about an hour I had about 600 narcotics on me and I'm not sure it would have been enough so I got out my stego and started farming nacroberries between feedings and would force feed her right after she ate.. About 1k berries were probably a waste since he tamed with like 80% torpidity. I'd highly reccomend the Ragnarok location shown here since it's super quiet.

I remember that Ssundee video where he and a friend tried to tranq a Giga with crossbows, and I distinctly remember him saying "We HaVe BeEn HeRe FoR *fIfTy MiNuTeS"* deliriously, then I see you knock out a Giga in only five!

I see it, I want it, I try it, Can't get it :(

If only this Giga had 20 more points of torpor...😂👌

I swear, we hear "wrong button" in every video lol

The c is for crying

I was trying to knock out a giga and it despawned right in front of me

Extremely informative! Much prefer that second trap you made there on Ragnarok, simply because you take it to the Giga. I tried with that first one and kiting the Giga across the plains is not only a pain but highly dangerous without a decent mount to take the hits and that you can also fire guns upon. I died several times using just an Argent simply because you have to dismount every so often but I've finally found a good Thyla to breed... so second attempt imminent once it's leveled. Cheers for this more in-depth guide Phlinger.

those days when you find a stuck giga ready for taming... but need giga hearts for boss fights 😂

Little trick, if u want the gigas agro on a flyer, pick up a small creature e.g. dodo and because it's a land creature it holds agro on the dodo and never loses agro until distracted by another creature. Keeping u in the air out of reach and keeping his agro

This channel diserves more attention only 35k

100 enraged gigas sounds absolutely terrifying

Highlands almost alwayd has a rex or giga and a pack of allos so keep that in mind for when u want to tame those creatures

Me and my friends are playing Valguero and we found a lvl 17 giga early game, no one has killed it and we still refuse to go near the area.

My tribesmen and I knocked out a Giga with slingshots while the 2nd in command got bio toxin. With a bow. We tamed a Giga with our average level being 17.3 (I calculated it)

This basics series is really cool, I like it a lot. It's really god because nooblets hasn't updated his taming vids or condensed them into clear formatted watches. It is especially good because it may grow the channel, but also because if I was a newb and needed to know how to tame a mammoth, then I could just search and find a no bs vid only on how to tame the mammoth. I first found you channel at the beginning of your s4 of soloing the ark, and left shortly after you moved bases, but its kinda nostalgic to see the old base and the wood starter base. But, with the supposed kibble rework coming up, you may have picked the wrong time to start it, as you will either have to redo the vids or take them down and edit them or something. Best of luck! +sub

On Ragnarok my base is in the highlands. It is not unusual to have a Giga on the map all of the time. As I type this there are 2 of them. One is stuck on a cliff near the ocean and hasn't moved in weeks. The other one decided to move right up to the hill my base is on so I had to do something. We have the Castles, Keeps and Forts mod on the server so I made three of the large sliding gates. I closed off the end of the ravine between the spires closest to me with one and the other end with the other two gates. The ravine forks there. These are the Keep gates which equate to being metal so even Gigas cannot hurt them. I place the first gate directly under the bridge over the ravine. They fit perfectly and completely block the entrance/exit spots. Once I have the gates in place and locked tight I use the rare flower method that I learned from watching Phlinger and lead the Giga to the ravine. I then land my flyer on the opposite side and shoot at the Giga which makes it try to get me and he/she falls in the ravine. I leave them there until they despawn. I have had an 85 male in the ravine for over 3 weeks now. I also lead bothersome allosaurs in as well because as long as they are alive there won't be a respawn of either type and they are out of my hair. You could use metal behemoth gates instead but the gates I use are much cheaper to make.

i remember the first giga i ever tamed. It was about level 16, but i was still super surprised when it only had 40 melee damage

love this guy....I tamed two GIGAs at once and it was an accident...lol

My first ever giga tame was a level 3 giga that I found stuck into the side of a mountain. It wasn't able to move at all so I sprayed it with so many tranq arrows and went through like 4 crossbows, lots of bio toxin, and a bunch of raw prime meat.

just wanted to say I really enjoy your videos They are one of the rare things that make me laugh. oh and C should stand for Chaos 😂

Bro thanks so much for making this video. My best argentavis Condor almost died but after using your trap (with billboards instead of gates for cost effectiveness), the giga was actually not too hard to tame. She was a low level, but she still is my best dino.

Phlinger I borrowed from your taming pen designs for mine. The containment area is 10 metal dino gateways stacked in a circle, with a 4x wide metal ramp leading up to it with metal railings stacked along the sides to funnel the bastards in and leave them nowhere to go but in/down. With cryopods there's no need to open/demolish the pen to get a newly tamed giga back out.

Tamed my first giga by myself with a basic long neck rifle a lot of regular darts. And a crossbow with tranq arrows. ..... We will not speak of how long it took. Oh but it gets better. I left him forgetting to apply narcotics. (I hadn't tamed many creatures so I wasn't used to it, but by GOD was I a determined player) So I came back just as he woke up and had to book it and do it again.

If youre usin taming pen, Id recommend using ramp instead of behemoth gate

for removing one is basically slap it and run like hel and when u die respawn. kabow

My friend and I knocked out a giga with only Trang arrows and normal crossbows

I started playing ark 2 months ago(solo), and in the last 2 days i have tamed 2 quetzals(lvl37lvl42) from the ground, lol and then used a quetzal to tame a giga(lvl20). Its been an interest few days lol

Got my first giga today thanks to phoo!! Low level 14 but still

26:56 Giga I choose You!

The way me and my tribe tamed our first giga was just building a "trap" and a whole lot of ppl were carried by pteros etc and shoting tranq at him for few mins.

I did the gate and while you do have to destroy one metal gate you still get back 1/3 of the resources. So basically to reset it it will cost about 120 metal and 25 cement paste which isn't too bad

I would reccomend having it pelted with thorny dragon needles for ages before it falls asleep, the torpor will keep counting up for AGES and stop the torpor drain the longer you hit it with thorns

As someone who has used this tactic, you should get a griffin to fly over the giga and tranq it, or a quetzal with a platform saddle, tamed 2 gigas with that tactic.

If ARK was more realistic the Giga wouldn't have been stronger than a T. Rex.

Highly enjoying the basics videos

the king of ark? thats debatable, i have a legion of raptors that shreds wild gigas in 3 seconds

Phlinger the advice in this video helped me tame my first giga. The tamed ones definitely suck, went down to 17k health and 50 damage, down from 115 damage. It probably wasn't worth it but I worked long and hard to get its health up to 20k before working on getting its damage up to 205.

I try to not use traps as much as possible, as it's more run chasing things. But my friend and I just took about 40 minutes to knock out a level 95 on mobile with two 1300 damage rifles and tranqs. It kept running from the cliff and the buggy shots weren't hitting at a distance so every time it ran back it had lost like 30% of its torpor. Most frustrating thing to tame imo.

I tamed mine with narco berries only used around 200 narcotic and berries for the rest gathered them with a rhino but a trike works fine

Tamed my first giga today. It was an experience 😂

You helped me alot I HV subscribed to you. Your also funny

I used a journeyman longneck and regular tranq darts and just used a queztal no platform saddle. I just stood on the back of the queztal. I am level 77 btw

you should do one about crystal wyverns and breeding them and raising them.

I knocked out and tamed a giga with a acendent bow lots of tranq arrows and raw meat. oh and bio toxin it took forever

I got my first giga by accident clubbing it with a high level mantis weilding some ascendent clubs. My mantis was wearing a 300 armor saddle though so I'm sure it would go horribly with a regular saddle and clubs.

according to the mei yin li story (the fan one based on the explorer notes not strictly follows) she does it with a bow and tranq arrows

Thanks for the help man thanks to you I solo tamed a 110 gig 😤😤😤

Great video. I was hoping to get a few tips on getting giga hearts

I found my ascendant crossbow with tranq arrows takes 2 headshots to knock a quetzal but my ascendant longneck takes like 30

You can take it in primitive plus which means you will use crossbows

Bro at 8:45 in ur on ragnarok but where’s that big open location ur at it looks like an amazing spot to build

Giga: I am the king of ark Shadowmane: Are you sure about that?

Just tamed mine using Behemoth Gate

I once tamed a Giga with a REALLY good Equus, I was sooooo proud of myself Then it was killed by a wild giga when my base was attacked =P

They should add a feature to cycle plasma shots and tranq darts on tek saddles.

I used an ascendant crossbow and that works I think that could be an option

I'm a pretty seasoned tamer, and I've tamed high levels from Baryonix up to Rex and beyond, but I don't know enough about a Giga to try for one solo. If they get enraged, do they have a timer or am I pretty much going to have to kill the Giga if it flips out? I've also heard they snap if they get too hungry. Can anyone suggest an enclosure size to keep my other tames safe if that happens?

Did WC change the rage mechanic? I took on a wild 55 giga with my 290 bred giga and barely won. The wild basically spawned right on top of me near the snow globe on Extinction. I fully expected to my giga to rage, but it didn't. Then I fully expected to lose my giga, but I didn't.

I recomend you do yous gigas for a alfa rex the rage meter a bite will make the rage meter go up but not completly if your careful so you do extra damage

Troodons Phlinger! :)

The thing with the higher torpor with cross bow you could also just give it narco

If my giga smells like cherries, am I doing it right?

Can you do a video on griffins? I am wanting to tame one but I am having trouble

What did u name this playlist, really helpful

Here's a trap for people who have a ton of metal make a 3x4 platform of metal foundations leaving the middle two empty and around it go 3 high with metal doorframes and then on whatever side your gonna lead the giga in from put the wooden ramps on that side with this trap you can easily with a fast enough mount aggro the giga and lure it into the trap

me and my friends knocked out a 180 with tranq arrows from crossbows and it took us 2 hours and a lot of stress

me and my buddy did it with 100% damage crossbows and tranq arrows, only took 30ish min.

It looks like you could fit wooden ramps on the inside. Could you make a disposable on the inside so it doesn't waste metal?

Ok so I have engrams for both ascendant compound bow and long neck which should I go with

I did it with a crossbow and tranq arrow but my crossbow was master craft and I kept it asleep with biotoxin because biotoxin does more torpor

I've been asking a few different players and wanted to ask you since you seem very knowledgeable. If you make a base at the highland tower, does it ruin the spawn rate for Gigas, I have a non dedicated server and have managed to tame one lower level female but I've never seen another one since. I'm rather new to this game so I'm not sure how everything works and I sincerely appreciate any thoughts or advice you can give me.

I have seen two Giga's in two years playing Ark vs zero Skylord

My favourite way of killing Gigas is get some of my buddies together all get on Argys and attack and run over and over again until it dies

What if you do it with a crossbow that does 365 torpor per shot will that also work it is mastercraft

first time i try on giga, was in a canyon , well at low torpor remain after a longgg time of shoothing, he disapear in a wall ............................................

If anyone wants to tame a giga here is my experience so you want to make metal dino gateways and make \_/ this shape then get a LARGE BEAR TRAP not the regular ones to put inside the trap like in the middle of it so the giga gets stuck obviously lure it into the trap and after that you gonna want to put your fourth dino metal gateway and place it behind the giga then there you go you have a trapped giga I recommend really good long neck with shocking tranq darts bc for me I had a 700 damage ascendent long neck and the giga was a lvl 140 and only took abt 30 shocking tranq darts to the head also when it was knocked out I used abt 3 to 4 stacks of bio toxin to keep it knocked out during the taming process also I used raw prime meat and tbh it did not take much time for me I think it's bc my taming speed was up and if your worrying abt if it's gonna break free of the trap before you can place the metal gateway behind it trust me its not your gonna have a couple seconds to place it behind the giga so make sure you place it in the right position MAKE IT COUNT anyways I hoped the helped. For anyone wondering the location it was on The Center at the half burnt island right near the volcano island.

My first giga was with raw meet and it was times 1

Is it enough with 250 regular darts?

When I tamed my first gigga I ran out of tranq darts and on a last prayer I fired slingshots at it and it fucken worked and I got it

Underneath its health stamina and so on in the top corner I have what looks like a red egg what does that mean?

I tamed a giga on official pvp with a couple of crossbows and a stego, it was close to my base on the pillars in the river north west. Ofcourse it and my base were whiped eventually.

My tribe had like 15 XD they where crazy over them

yeah

When a giga goes into rage mode, can he/she destroy metal and above or will it still be only thatch, wood and stone?

thank you. 4 years late.... but, thank you!

tb I think they should give the giga a TLC make it look more scarier and give it new abilities

I have killed 2 gigas with my super op wyvern but i really wanna tame one to flex on myself

Could you also use harp on guns?

Gigas have the potential to be stronger than titans.... if you level them up right. My op giga has like 890% melee, and fully Imprinted. It did like 3400-ish damage. But titans are still better for raiding. I guess. I’ve never tried to tame a titan.

Thinking of taming a giga... then this popped up in my recommendation

Just tamed one with my buds they have craip stamina

Can you do it with a ascendant crossbow?

I have tamed giga with the tranq arrow but the crossbow was 750% damage i have used like 350 tranq arrow the giga was 300 lvl

About the HP thing with Giga, I know he mention it in this vid. But if it only gets 5-10 HP per level/point....that's....dissapointing. So they are not ment to be tanky at all? I mean I've got Rexes (I play on 0.5 diff), which I tamed at lvl 67 imprinted and breed/leveled have close to 30K HP.

I did this with crossbow, tranq arrows, narcotics and raw meat. It took me like 2 hours but it was fine.

so the trap with s+ look at syntacs trap one metal gate large trap another gate at 90 degree angle trap him put a gate behind him 3 gates cheap trap possible
