Knockout tame. Edit the Use column to mix foods — the game eats the best food first, so the summary feeds your kibble/prime before filling the rest with meat. Sedatives shown keep it under for the whole tame; bring spares.

Minimum hits to knock out a level 150 Giganotosaurus, using primitive (100%-quality) weapons. This is a floor — it ignores the torpor a creature regenerates between shots, so bring a few spare. Land hits on the head where possible for bonus damage, and watch torpor doesn't drain faster than you raise it.

Raising. The Baby phase (0–10%) is the dangerous window — the baby can't eat from a feeding trough and must be hand-fed until it reaches Juvenile. Imprint at each cuddle interval for the full bonus. Wall-clock times assume the egg is fertilized now and rescale with your server profile; mating cooldown is unaffected. Imprint counts assume the default imprint amount — tune that on the imprint calculator.

Giganotosaurus guide

The Giganotosaurus is a carnivore in ARK: Survival Ascended. It spawns wild on The Island and Extinction. This page covers its spawn commands, base stats, taming and breeding — with interactive calculators you can drive by level.

How to tame the Giganotosaurus

The Giganotosaurus is a knockout (violent) tame. Render it unconscious with tranquilizer arrows or darts, then feed it raw meat — with raw prime meat, cooked meat or its preferred kibble taming faster and keeping effectiveness higher. Keep its Torpor topped up with Narcotics or Narcoberries while it eats — use the taming calculator above to see exact food counts, taming time and the effectiveness you'll land at your target level.

Aim for the head where you can — most creatures take extra torpor from headshots — and don't let Torpor drain faster than you raise it. The knockout estimator above lists the minimum tranq arrows and darts for any level.

Giganotosaurus spawn command

To spawn a wild Giganotosaurus, open the console and run its Summon command. To spawn one already tamed at a chosen level, use GMSummon instead — both are copy-ready in the Spawn commands panel above, along with the raw spawn class (Gigant_Character_BP_C) for use with commands like SpawnDino.
