Click To Unmute. Start at: End at: Autoplay Loop. Want us to remember this setting for all your devices? Instead, leave a small gap between each gateway. You then lure the Giganotosaurus in so that it'll get stuck in the bear trap, then fill in the remaining wall with another Metal Dinosaur Gateway. The Giga will be unable to escape the enclosure, and you can shoot at it until it's down If you leave a diplodocus in the trap, it might buy you a few extra seconds to close the gate without the Giga escaping.
Settle in; it may take a while. It is advised to use this method as the methods that involve fliers are much harder and much more annoying, especially the Quetzal method, which is also potentially quite dangerous due to the flier nerf.
Make sure the trap is rendered at all times or the Giganotosaurus might escape. This strategy is SUPER simple though it has questionable morals, but requires an extra player or two. On a single-player map, have the host get a little higher than the Giga and shoot it with Tranq arrows or darts. At the same time, the other player s keep sacrificing themselves to distract the Giga. Since the other player s can respawn at the host, it's easy for them to keep killing themselves. Just make sure everybody is OK with it.
Another strategy which is much harder is to use a Quetzal with a platform saddle and a shooting platform built on it and to simply follow the Giga around and shoot it with tranq arrows until it falls down. This method is very time-consuming and difficult due to the tendency of wild dinos to pick a direction and sprint flat out away from you when they realize they are being tranquilized.
Couple this with the surprising speed of a wild Giga, and you're in for a long chase. The addition of Griffins gives you another option—no need to dismount but remember they don't have as much stamina. Don't over-focus and wind up coming to a forced landing right in front of your Giga. Once knocked out, it's rather simple to keep the beast down for the duration of the tame. Simply let its torpor get low not too low and then spam a few hundred narcotics into it.
It is highly recommended to learn how narcotic works before taming a Giga. For quick reference, narcotics restore torpor, so base your math on that if needed. Due to the incredibly high amount of torpor Gigas have, though, you will usually be able to feed it enough or almost enough narcotics to last the entire tame in one shot. This allows for the player s to simply set a timer to come back when it's ready to feed or when it will need more narcotics since no land animal or dinosaur will attack a wild Giga.
However, it can be hit by collateral damage from feuding non-apex creatures nearby, so be cautious of this. Another strategy a player can utilize is using any type of flyer preferably fast with enough stamina to keep it in the air and flying for 1 and a half minutes. Then, the player can have at least Metal Dinosaur Gateways and place the Dinosaur Gateways down so that it looks like a semi-circle. The straight line would be the behemoth gate, and the curved areas would be the Dinosaur Gateways.
After the gates have been placed, put some Large Bear Traps use as many as you want! Then kite the Giganotosaurus into the trap makes sure the Behemoth Gate is open. Once the Giganotosaurus is halted by the Large Bear Traps , quickly close the gate and then tranq the Giganotosaurus to your heart's desire.
Note that the values are for optimal cases, always bring extra supplies! For a level-dependent count of resources needed, try an external taming calculator. A wild or tamed Giganotosaurus is extremely dangerous simply because of its massive damage and health. This makes it one of the most deadly creatures on the island if not the most deadly ; even a low level wild Giganotosaurus can and will be a very serious threat.
Whatever creature you fight it with, be aware of his Gnashed ability. Having a tamed Giganotosaurus can be a representation of skill and progression. It is therefore not a good idea to head-on attack tamed Giga even if you can certainly take it off, which might result in retaliation from the tamer.
If you are willing to invest time in taking great care of a tamed giga from a baby to an adult that is imprinted by you, then you would have one of the strongest tames in the game. Nine times out of ten, it is best to avoid combat with a Giga at all costs due to their devastating attacks and high health pool. Conventional weapons can damage Gigas, but do very little against their huge health, and are thus not advised.
Using a Lightning Wyvern or a Poison Wyvern , a rider can position the wyvern above the Giga and attack it from above using breath attacks. A player can also use a Managarmr and constantly shoot it with ice breath, and jump out of harm's way when the pursuing Giga gets too close.
While taking a wild-tamed or low-level bred Giga into battle against a wild one is most often suicide, if you have managed to tame and breed multiple high-leveled Gigas together, combining their stats, and imprinting the offspring; a fully imprinted Giga with most of its base stats near 50, all level points spent in melee damage, is a force to be reckoned with. While a super-bred Giga is without a doubt the most effective means of killing wild Gigas even Titanosaurs , it is by all means the hardest to acquire; requiring hours of gameplay and more than a bit of luck to find and tame high-leveled wild Gigas to start the breeding process, but if it can be done, it is definitely worth the effort for such a powerful addition to any tribe's arsenal.
Until then, the other methods laid out below are more viable. On top of terms of difficulty in acquiring a high level-giga, it is even more difficult and time consuming in stacking mutations for the giganotosaurus when breeding them. It will be worth the effort when your giganotosaurus has so many mutations on its melee attack that it is killing everything, including the biggest creatures, in several bites.
With all of the effort put into taming and breeding, the end result would be a giganotosaurus with your personalized color mutations. Griffins may make it possible to kill a Giga, as a rider can use weapons while flying. Make certain to have multiple spare assault rifles, fabricated sniper rifles, and rocket launchers; with the Giga's massive health pool, some may break during your hunt.
You will also need a huge stockpile of ammo. You will probably need to level the Griffin for weight, unless the Giga is far enough away from anything important that you have enough time to run back to base and rearm. Remember that although you control steering with the A and D keys while using weapons on a Griffin, your pitch still follows where you're looking; if you're looking sideways and down at the Giga and suddenly decide to sprint forward, you won't go straight to the Giga, but you will go down where it can get you if it's faster than you are.
Stay high. Remember to stop, gain some distance and replenish your Griffin's stamina periodically; a forced landing right in front of the Giga is not ideal. Another thing many people know is that Griffins have a dive bomb and diving swipe, it is also possible to dive swipe the giga multiple times to kill it but it is a bit risky. The Phoenix has a fireball attack right click that can allow you to attack a Giga from overhead without it getting angry in response, unless you get too close.
The DoT deals up to damage per second for 10 seconds. This means it would take at least 80 fireballs and seconds to kill it. While it's a slow process, it's fairly reliable and safe since the Phoenix does not have to land to regain stamina. Keep in mind that the Phoenix will not get kill credit unless a different source of damage from the Phoenix kills it. Another possibility is to build a raft with a massive broadside of Minigun Turrets , fully stocked with ammo, and a generator; lure the Giga into the water and let the turrets shred it.
If the turrets fail to kill the Giga before running out of ammunition you should at least be able to get clear, as Gigas are slow swimmers; try to lure it further into the water and hope that either it drowns, or aquatic predators can finish it off. If fighting against tamed Gigas in PvP, they are not near as much of a threat. This means that a group of solid rexes can take on an enemy tamed Giga bonus if the Rexes are Mate boosted.
Auto turrets can also shred a tamed Giga fairly quickly if you have enough of them. If attacking tamed Gigas, using rpgs to enrage it and cause it to attack any other enemy dinos near it is a good strategy. If you do not have access to explosives, dinos that reflect damage such as the Kentrosaurus are very effective at fending off a ridden Giga; due to changes in the rage mechanics, raw damage is factored as opposed to mitigated damage.
This can cause a Giga to enrage by biting a herd of Kentros, no matter how good of a saddle it has. Even if the Giga is unridden, the sheer amount of reflected damage from Kentros can kill an attacking tamed Giga.
The only dino that can kill a wild Giganotosaurus head-on is the Titanosaur. Wild Gigas avoid attacking them, with good reason. A few stomp attacks made by a Titano is enough to kill the strongest Giga. However, the odds of anyone just so happening to have a Titanosaur on hand to spare for this battle of behemoths are slim, so it is generally best to avoid the dangerous predator at all costs.
As of the new Extinction update, the new Titans can also kill them pretty fast. It also possible to kill a giga with a Quetzal levelled in health and melee damage by attacking it from above.
Another thing is that when you dismount a quetz you stay in the saddle,this means you can pull out a weapon and shoot the giga. It's possible to kill a Giga with just a Grappling Hook and a short-range weapon like a Sword. Shoot the Grappling Hook at the back of the Giga, close to his tail and reel-in. When you are close to his body you can hit it with your Sword without a lot to risk getting hit by the Giga.
Make sure to have good Armor to withstand occasional hits. Giga does "tactical retreat" by fleeing, breaking the Grappling Hook and run away from player on its tail if it can't hit the player for too long. It certainly will come back and attack again so don't get trolled. One of the most common and effective methods for killing a wild Giganotosaurus is by drowning.
You just lure the Giga out to the ocean using a Ptera. Once it is a good deal away from the mainland, go above its mid section and bite it until water is up to the Giga's eyes. At this point, get the Giga out of render distance as fast as you can. Once it is out of render distance, the Giga will enter stasis were it cannot move but will still lose oxygen and die by suffocation. This version is a bit risky but can score a fast kill. The other version is lure your Giga of choice to the ocean but then get on a raft; get out to deep sea and make the Giga swim.
With this method, it is safer if you manage the wild Leedsichthys but much slower to kill as you cannot drown the Giga but must let ocean predators do the work. Wild Mantas and Megalodons will start attacking the Giga but keep shooting at the Giga to keep it from fleeing to the shore. Tamed dinos are not recommended as if the Giga hits them, it could easily kill them. You cannot just leave with this one as the ocean predators will not attack the Giga when in stasis.
With this method, you could lure the Giga to land when it is low on health and kill it for a lot of XP. These methods are the best methods for solo players without a Wyvern. While the Giga is a creature to be feared, a pack of three or four very high level Allos with an imprint and decent saddle can take down a Giga.
To ensure you do not lose any Allos, bring and make sure they are mate boosted. Also ensure the gnash effect is applied at all times on the Giga. To swing the odds even more in your favor, ensure that you fight where there are not many obstacles that the Giga can use to its advantage. To ensure victory, make sure the Rexes are mate boosted and there are not obstacles the Giga can use to its advantage. Gate On Mobile not sure if it works on pc you can cause the giga to aggro on to a metal Dino gate frame and then shoot it with guns or anything you want.
Spinos are effective for killing gigas because they can swim and they have a water buff. Make sure that the spinos are leveled in stamina, damage, health and possibly speed. A large amount of Auto Turrets can pose a major threat to the Giganotosaurus, as they can deal a lot of damage quickly. The Mini-gun and Rocket turrets can be very effective against a Giga. At one point they could be mounted on the Quetzal , but they are no longer able to be, leaving a raft as the only mobile option for bringing turrets to a Giga.
Fortunately, Gigas are slow swimmers. They are ideal for keeping it at bay while another source of damage is applied or even Torpor to begin the taming process. Be careful as to not let one come from the side. It makes it take a little longer for all the plants to target and could potentially stop a plant from shooting due to line-of-sight. The Giganotosaurus can, and will, instantly kill all but the hardiest of dinos. This, coupled with its health reserves, heavy bleeding, and its rage mechanic make it the most dangerous dino in the game.
The Giganotosaurus's torpor will drain faster than it will rise, this makes it hard to solo tame. The Giganotosaurus can attack according to this discussion up to foundations high and foundations beyond a wall. On Extinction, the corrupted giganotosaurus may now seem less threatening without the relatively high health, and bleeding, but it all gets exchanged for high damage. A horde of corrupted giganotosaurus in the Forbidden Zone with high damage and mate boost can easily kill the hardiest dinos except the titans.
The Giganotosaurus is very vulnerable in the water. Its low stamina and slow swim speed can cause it to drown very quickly. However, its massive size will keep it out of most water. A wild Giga can easily be lured into deep water and drowned. This is likely to happen on Whitesky Peak as if the Giga falls from a cliff into the ocean, the floating ice may block its way back to the surface and soon drown to death.
Another effective way of killing a Giganotosaurus is to use Lightning and Poison Wyverns , it will make easy work of any Giga you will encounter if you hover above it and pound it with breath attacks for a while. Make sure you watch your positioning as the wyvern's hitbox is massive when flying in place and you may unexpectedly get bit a few times. It's also critical to watch your stamina and to fly somewhere safe to refill stamina when needed. As mentioned in the General section, Gigas are vulnerable to flying units with ranged attacks, such as Wyverns and the Phoenix.
Poison Wyverns double as an extra threat to the rider of a tamed Giga while Lighting Wyverns deal some of the highest possible DPS in a relatively safe fashion to wild Gigas. They are highly vulnerable from behind since their turning radius is very wide. A Mek can easily get behind or out of reach of a giga's bite. A Giganotosaurus attacks may have a large aoe, but it has a blind spot where its tail begins and its hip ends and the spot is big enough for a player to grapple onto with a grappling hook and kill it from there with a high damage melee weapon.
Because a player is on it, the giga will constantly turn to try to bite you off, but it can't. When the Giganotosaurus enters rage mode, its eyes glow bright yellow — an ominous sign to warn enemies and allies alike of its boosted damage and resistance modifiers.
In this state it is a force to be reckoned with, even rivaling the power of other menacing giants like the Dragon and even the DodoRex. If it is tamed it will throw its rider off and attack everything around it, including allied creatures or the player.
This effect will last for 20 seconds, which is more than enough time for a catastrophic amount of destruction to occur. Before it becomes enraged, a heart is shown below its stat bars. The player should be cautious as more of the heart begins to glow. Once the heart is filled, the Giganotosaurus will enter its rage mode. Gigas gain rage by taking large amounts of damage in a short time. This includes, but is not limited to, C4 , rockets , and reflected damage from the likes of Kentrosaurus.
Flame damage, however, will not make a Giganotosaurus enter rage mode. This can make using a Flamethrower , Fire Wyverns , or a Phoenix all viable options for burning down a Giga. In the past, Gigas used to gain rage from fall damage. However this mechanic has been removed.
At the same time, changes were made to make rage buildup factor in raw damage as opposed to mitigated damage. This is to prevent high saddle quality from causing a Giga to not enrage since damage was minimal enough to prevent the mechanic from coming into effect.
For example, on a Giga with 17, health, between 7, A Giga with 29, Mate boost, imprint, and imprint stat buff all provide resistance for your rage meter. Yutyrannus ' buff, mate boost , and imprinting all help deal extra damage to enrage an enemy Giga. Almost all bleed attacks with the exception of the Deinonychus are, however, unable to increase the meter. Even though the Giganotosaurus is a big pain in the backside to tame and fight, the Giganotosaurus is a formidable dinosaur once tamed.
Note that for all roles it's advised to level melee damage; the Giga gains miniscule boosts in all stats so it's best to utilize what the Giga does best at: mass destruction. For information pertaining specifically to the real-world Giganotosaurus, see the relevant Wikipedia article.
