Is it possible to shoot arrows whilst being picked up by an argy? Could make it an easier tame

Yes. Works very well ... as long as you don't shoot the Argy :flirty:

Quote from: Snokio;410432Although this might not be an option due to terrain etc but if close enough to the warmer zone maybe we could lure one out of the cold? I have done this with birds and alphas before so could be a possibility? Bare in mind I have not seen how they move around and what their bite damage is . Just a thought

If you get to close that would almost mean an instant death for you and your dino. Sithy found that out already.
Kiting is an option while we try to tranq it down we can try and move it to somewhere we want to.
But that is all something for the day it self.

First lets get all the recourses etc. then the tame it self will be discussed.

Yeah seriously guys, it bites higher up in the air than you would think as well, so becareful when giving kiting a try if anyone is going to be testing the waters and remember to be naked, and use a low level tame so that should the worst happen, and it will (this is Ark, come on) you minimise losses...

Already found a location where to build the cage to keep the Giga in. Will be starting to work on it the comming few days/weeks.

If people have spare metal please get those to the build site if possible, otherwise store them and give a shout when there is enough for an airlift.
Also we are in need of a large stockpile of Cementing Paste to craft the metal structure all donations are welcome!

Build site: Lat 30.5 / Lon 47.5 (1 foundation in place with a large box for storage on it)

A little update on how far i got with the cage:

Thanks to Galatoni who did a metal run to get some metal for the cage i came this far.
I am at the moment out of cementing paste to go on with building.

As some already know, since last Saturday morning there is a tamed Giga standing in the cage, that i tamed on my own.

About why:
I have already been jumping around to give it another go for a few weeks, and after the mossasaur tame i knew i was as good as ready to tame one.
I planned the tame and also to test out if i was up to the task this time, as the first go didn't really go well, but then i was still low lvl with standard gear etc.

With this tame i took a risk, a risk that would have been taken anyway. None of us knew what would happen when one of the 2 giga's got taken out.
We learned what happend Friday evening the day before the tame, when i took out one of the two giga's.
I wasn't expecting it to happen but it did, one spawned just above Lib his base, we took care of it and Saturday we did the same again.
What we learned of this was that the server wants two giga's alive on the server. If you kill a Giga the next day at exact the same time of the kill a new one will spawn.
But with a tame the question stays open as when a new one will spawn.

What i am saying here is:
When someone or a group tries to tame or kill one of the two wild Giga's they have to make sure that the new one that will spawn will be taken care off if that spawn is not in the snow area!

As for the tamed Giga:
She is standing in the cage, at the moment the cage isn't finished but it is big enough to handle the tame and keep everything save.
People can fly over to see it and at the moment land next to it (the risk is yours if you do that). The small area next to the Giga is avail to the whole tribe with the tribe pincode.
The cage it self on the other hand is only accessible by the admins. The saddle isn't at the cage that is stored for save keeping in my own base.

I thought we would be doing this together

How did you do it Grim?

Penfold · March 04, 2016, 10:21:22 AM

Perhaps when it comes to doing a campaign for the bosses it could be well publicised and a community event?

Yeah sounds good pen would love to do bosses with everyone.

Snokio · March 04, 2016, 01:43:59 PM

Also, We can always tame another giga!

Yeah but a lot of the fun is doing it for the first time (I promise I'm still talking about ark).

Now that it's already been done on the server it's less exciting, at least that's how I feel, maybe others disagree. It's like if we have already shown one or two of us can do it what's the allure of all getting together as a team to then do it, we already know it's relatively easy and doesn't require the whole team behind it...

I would just say that next time we plan a group activity we don't then randomly split off and do it individually...is a bit disappointing at least for me...again others may disagree
