GIGANOTOSAURUS

Стратегия оглушения

When it comes to knocking out a Giga, there is one major argument to consider; should you use a Longneck Rifle or Crossbow? This largely depends on the quality of your weaponry and the number of resources at your disposal. If using engram-grade weaponry (or if the weapon damage of your best crossbow and longneck rifle are similar), the crossbow is more efficient in terms of narcotics spent on ammunition per tame in comparison to using a longneck rifle with Tranquilizer Darts. If using Shocking Tranquilizer Darts, you will still be spending slightly more narcotics (about 7% more) on top of the Bio Toxin needed. This makes the crossbow the most resource-efficient method. You will also not need to worry about the crossbow's higher Health:Torpidity damage ratio, given the gargantuan base Health of a wild Giga. However, when using Shocking Tranquilizer Darts, a longneck rifle will knock out the Giga much faster than a crossbow (as long as you keep shooting and don't miss). To sum up, if resources are your main concern, use a crossbow. If you just want to knock out the Giga as fast as possible, use a longneck rifle with shocking darts.

By far, the simplest way to tame Giganotosaurus is to build a room out of Metal Dinosaur Gateway (no gates needed), leaving one side open, and put a Large Bear Trap in the middle. Do not use the snap points, as this will make the room too small to place the fourth wall and allow the Giganotosaurus to escape. 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)

Эта стратегия ОЧЕНЬ проста, хотя и сомнительна с моральной точки зрения, но требует одного-двух дополнительных игроков. На одиночной карте пусть хост поднимется чуть выше Гиги и стреляет в неё транквилизаторными стрелами или дротиками. При этом другой игрок (или игроки) постоянно жертвуют собой, отвлекая Гигу. Поскольку другие игроки могут возрождаться у хоста, им легко раз за разом убивать себя. (Убедитесь, что все согласны на это)

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.

После того как существо оглушено, удержать его в этом состоянии на всё время приручения довольно просто. Просто дайте показателю торпора немного снизиться (не слишком сильно), а затем скормите ему несколько сотен наркотиков. Настоятельно рекомендуется разобраться, как работает наркотик, прежде чем приручать Гигу. Для справки: 100 наркотиков восстанавливают 4000 торпора, отталкивайтесь от этого при расчётах. Однако из-за невероятно высокого запаса торпора у Гиги вы обычно сможете скормить ей достаточно (или почти достаточно) наркотиков на всё время приручения за один раз. Это позволяет игроку (или игрокам) просто поставить таймер и вернуться, когда понадобится покормить существо или добавить наркотиков, поскольку ни одно наземное животное или динозавр не нападёт на дикую Гигу. Тем не менее она может получить урон от столкновений соседних враждующих не-апекс существ, так что будьте осторожны.

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. To tame the Giganotosaurus, the player should have at the very least 1 Metal Behemoth Gateway along with a Metal Behemoth Gate. Then, the player can have at least 3-4 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!) in the semi-circle. 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.

With the release of the Araneo new TLC, it is possible to knock out a Giganotosaurus using a well-bred Araneo. Build a box around a Quetzal equipped with a Platform Saddle, hang upside-down on the box and shoot the Giganotosaurus with torpor webs until it is unconscious. Multiple Araneo can be fitted on one Quetzal as well to knock out the Giganotosaurus quicker. Be sure to hover high up in the air, otherwise the Giganotosaurus may be able to attack you.
