Weaknesses & counter tips

Worked out from its stats

  • High health but modest damage — outlast it or kite while chipping it down.
  • Flyer — favour ranged weapons; melee-only mounts struggle to connect.
  • Low torpor — easy to knock out; a few tranq hits will subdue it.

Gargantar — Detailed Guide

The Gargantar is a large flying creature in ASA that inhales resources, creatures and people into its stomach. Tamed, it works as a flying vacuum harvester. That is especially useful on maps with floating islands, where ground gatherers struggle.

Where to find it

In ASA it spawns on The Center, Scorched Earth, Ragnarok, Valguero, Extinction, Astraeos and Lost Colony.

Taming

It uses a special non-violent method. Aggro it and let it inhale you, feed it armor from inside, and mount it once the first phase ends. Then deliver the resources its taming HUD asks for.

Breeding

  • Egg: lays Gargantar Eggs that hatch in about 5 hours.
  • Growth: a baby matures in about 3.9 days at 1x.

Uses

  • Harvesting: vacuums trees, bushes and mineral deposits while flying, and cuts the weight of most gathered materials by 66%.
  • Transport: holds allies or small tames up to a drag weight of 500, and can spit stored contents at enemies.
  • Defense: its Stomach Shield gives 60% damage reduction while it stays still.

Tips

The saddle unlocks at level 52. Sprint mode, barrel rolls and a quick turn make it far more agile than its size suggests.
