More about taming the R-Giganotosaurus
Check the taming results to see how long it takes to tame the R-Giganotosaurus, what effectiveness you'll achieve, and how many bonus levels it gains. Better food means better results.
Use the knockout chart to see exactly how many Tranq Arrows, Darts, or other torpor weapons it takes to down the R-Giganotosaurus. Wait between shots for torpor to tick up. Firing too fast can kill the creature before it goes down.
To simplify the knockout, immobilize the R-Giganotosaurus first with Bear Trap or Large Bear Trap.
Below are the narcotic requirements for keeping the R-Giganotosaurus sedated throughout taming. Narcotics provide 40 Torpor each and are the standard choice. Bio Toxin offers 80 Torpor but is harder to farm. Narcoberries at 7.5 each are a last resort. The R-Giganotosaurus bleeds 120 Torpor/s, so keep a close eye on the bar and sedate early.
Use the torpor and starve timers to track your R-Giganotosaurus tame in real time. Starve taming is recommended for valuable high-level R-Giganotosaurus: let the Food stat deplete first, then add food. This way nothing is wasted if something goes wrong.
ARK: Survival Ascended features the R-Giganotosaurus as a tamable, carnivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. It falls within the Variant classification.
Its base Stamina of 400 gives it solid stamina reserves. Its base Melee Damage sits at 105%, giving it respectable melee power. The R-Giganotosaurus has 80,000 base Health - an absolute bullet sponge. Weight capacity starts at 700, giving it an enormous weight pool.
To tame the R-Giganotosaurus, you need to knock it unconscious using torpor weapons, then feed it while it's down. Exceptional Kibble is the most effective food for taming, offering the highest affinity per feeding.
As a tame, the R-Giganotosaurus combines solid harvesting capability with generous carrying capacity. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 43°C–44°C temperature window. A wild R-Giganotosaurus is worth 200 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.99 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
