Tek Giganotosaurus
Tek Giganotosaurus Egg & Breeding Calculator
The Tek Giganotosaurus reproduces by laying fertilized eggs after mating. Incubation temperature must stay between 43°C and 44°C - use Air Conditioners, Standing Torches, or Dimetrodons to maintain the range. At the correct temperature, the egg hatches in approximately 2 days and 1 hour.
Full maturation from baby to adult takes ~10 days and 3 hours (1x rate), progressing over many real-world days, demanding serious time investment. During the baby phase (0–10%), hand-feed it directly. From 10% onward (juvenile), it can eat from a Feeding Trough.
Offspring inherit parental stats and have a small chance to mutate, gaining +2 levels in a random stat. Use the breeding calculator to plan food requirements, incubation timers, and maturation phases.
Raising a baby Tek Giganotosaurus involves three maturation phases: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~1464 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~98h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~122h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.
Imprinting during maturation provides permanent stat bonuses. At 100% imprint, the Tek Giganotosaurus gains 30% bonus damage and resistance when ridden by the imprinter. You'll be asked to cuddle, walk, or feed specific kibble at regular intervals during maturation.

Use the raising calculator to plan food requirements for raising Tek Giganotosaurus babies through all three growth stages. Budget ~1464 minutes for the Baby phase - this is when hand-feeding or Maewing nursing is mandatory.
Adjust the dino count to calculate food for multiple Tek Giganotosaurus babies at once - essential for batch breeding operations. Consider food spoilage when choosing what to feed: Kibble lasts days, while Raw Meat spoils in minutes.

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.
Found throughout the ARKs, the Tek Giganotosaurus is a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. It belongs to the Variant category.
At 80,000 base HP, the Tek Giganotosaurus is an absolute bullet sponge. With 100% base Melee Damage, the Tek Giganotosaurus has solid damage output. With 400 base Stamina, the Tek Giganotosaurus has respectable staying power. It carries 700 base Weight - an enormous weight pool.
You'll need to knock the Tek Giganotosaurus unconscious before taming it. Tranquilizers are the standard approach. Feed it Exceptional Kibble for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.
After taming, the Tek Giganotosaurus is a practical workhorse - it can both gather and haul resources efficiently. It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between 43°C and 44°C. A wild Tek 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.
