The raising calculator above shows exactly how much food you need for each maturation phase of the Gigantoraptor. Expect ~278 minutes of active care during the Baby phase before it graduates to trough-feeding as a Juvenile.
The multiplier feature helps plan large-scale Gigantoraptor raises by totaling food across all babies. Different food types have different spoil timers - factor that into which food you stockpile.

During the Baby phase (0-10%), you must hand-feed or use a Maewing to nurse. From Juvenile (10%+), dinos can eat from a Feeding Trough on their own. Use Preserving Salt in troughs to double spoil times.
Breeding the Gigantoraptor produces fertilized eggs that require careful temperature control. Incubation temperature must stay between 26°C and 32°C - use Air Conditioners, Standing Torches, or Dimetrodons to maintain the range. At the correct temperature, the egg hatches in approximately 1 hour and 39 minutes.
The baby Gigantoraptor takes approximately 1 day and 22 hours to fully mature at default rates - requiring significant patience. The most labor-intensive part is the baby phase (0–10% maturation) when it can't use a Feeding Trough yet.
Each baby inherits stats from both parents with a chance of mutation - +2 wild levels to a random stat plus a color change. Use the breeding calculator to plan food requirements, incubation timers, and maturation phases.
Maturation has three phases: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~278 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~19h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~23h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.
Don't skip imprinting - each successful imprint boosts the Gigantoraptor's stats, and hitting 100% grants a 30% combat bonus when the imprinter rides it. Keep various kibble types on hand, as imprint requests are randomized between cuddles, walks, and kibble feeding.
Found throughout the ARKs, the Gigantoraptor is a tamable, omnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It belongs to the Breeding category.
At 770 base HP, the Gigantoraptor is quite durable. With 100% base Melee Damage, the Gigantoraptor has decent hitting power. With 350 base Stamina, the Gigantoraptor has good endurance. It carries 320 base Weight - generous inventory space.
After taming, the Gigantoraptor is primarily used for resource harvesting, excelling at gathering specific materials. It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between 26°C and 32°C. A wild Gigantoraptor is worth 18 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.53 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
