Knock the R-Giganotosaurus unconscious using your preferred torpor weapon, then feed it to begin the taming process. The R-Giganotosaurus loses Torpor at 120 per second while unconscious - stay on top of narcotics.

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.
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.
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.
Estimated time until optimal feeding point: 1h 12m 54s
