Chaps we have loosely discussed the giga tame recently but have not yet planned out a time to have a go at this. I am loosely suggesting 1 or 2 dates and times...
Saturday 19:00 onwards.
Monday 19:00 onwards.
Which do people prefer / which can people make?
With this we will plan to all meet up, get kitted out, head off in search of the giga and try to bring it down and tame it together. It will require some people hunting for prime, others staying with the giga, and so on.
Let us know your thoughts!
Looks like this will be Monday night boys and girls!
We will start from 19:00 or thereabouts, but don't worry if you can't get on until 20:00 or something, we will get you involved regardless!

I'm going to try be there too!
I can't make Monday nights so good luck guys :)
Won't be able to attend, working a night shift.
We will try to find and tame a Giga tonight, may God have mercy upon our souls.
We should be getting going from 7pm or so, but turn up as and when. I am hoping we are well underway by 8.
Thanks for coming along guys,
For those that missed it, we flew 3 teams of 2 at a level 35 Giga, fired something like 700+ tranq arrows over 1-2 game days, and still didn't bring the beast down.
We will be arranging a second night to have a go with a different method (involving bear traps and building a cage to keep the beast trapped) soon!
Can you guys please write on here a night NEXT WEEK that you are able / keen to attend?
For me Monday is again the best bet, but I am also free Tuesday or Friday :)
Any day for me.
friday or next monday are good for me
It was frustrating as according to the dodorex calc we had more than enough to bring it down. Hell, even the tranq darts themselves should have done. The only thing I can think is that it's regenning fast.
On Friday if not before I'm going to work on bringing in that low level female Quetz we saw. Apart from that I'm all in.
I'm available on the following days
July 27
August 1, 7
Next Monday we could do by looks of it.. Albert you around then mate? Sneaky? Anyone else??? :)
Perhaps we should research if its even possible? Check the sort of fire rate we have to keep to and then decide how to approach it?

I could be available if needed (perhaps)
I tried to tranq a trike (say that 10 times fast) other night... 50 tranq arrows still had no effect on it.

Maybe we need a server restart in case there is an issue, and a practice easy tame first, to be sure it works

Milli, were you using an xbow and shooting at its head?
Tranq arrows also take time, it's like a torpor dot

Tranq on a lvl 25 Trike was 3-5 arrows for me with a crossbow. Even high level aren't 50 unless with a normal bow, what level was that trike?
Yeah managed last night 3 tranq arrows to head gave me my first tame...yay go me....thanks guys

Nice one mate.
So next monday... albert? sneaky?
i think we need longneck rifles and tranq darts instead if xbows.
I can build them but they're damned expensive
It's 12 gunpowder and 2 metal for one bullet
then
2 more metal and 3 narcs to make the dart
Pen - in my house at my smithy help yourself to metal and there are narcs in one of the large cupboards so yours to help with monday night....at hospital with mrs just now waiting for baby to arrive .....

Woohoo! Hope all goes well :thumb:
Yeah mate good luck with it all!
I'll be around on Monday. I think we need to focus on getting the Giga trapped somewhere. Either that or use a Quetz platform and lure the Giga into a cliff face where we can take shots at it. Having several flyers just ditracts the Gigi I feel and makes him move from target to target never staying in one place. A few times when we had one bird near him he would stop and focus on that group making him an easy target.
http://ark.gamepedia.com/Giganotosaurus#KO_Strategy - The options are in here but fraught with danger.
is anyone level 80 yet so we can craft a platform?
we would also need
480 chitin or keratin
220 silica pearls
960 stone
360 metal
400 fiber
620 hide
If anyone is lvl 80 then im willing to start mining for resources

Can't you get it delivered to home and then you can join in?
The dino gate method would be easiest and achievable.
No one is level 80. I think Whitey is about 70/71 and I'm a little lower.

i would be up for that...4 gates is
400 chitin or keratin
800 stone
680 metal
but I would suggest enough for 1 extra in case the placement doesn't work
plus a bear trap
15 hide
10 fiber
12 metal
ill start collecting later tonight if thats were we are going
Cheers guys - if only i could get away with it it would be an option ðŸ˜,

Not sure about trying this tame again. Seems a complete waste of resources and time.
How about exploring the underworld instead? :D
I agree with OB. I've personally barely scratched the surface so going for thr biggest is a bit premature. I vote put this off until we have Quetz with platforms and a better taming approach.

Sure, we can wait and try something a little softer for now if that is what people fancy :D
Personally I don't mind what we do, it is just nice to do something as a team :)
So cave romp monday? I am down with that.. need a beetle or 2...
