Skeletal Giganotosaurus — Detailed Guide

The Skeletal Giganotosaurus is the Fear Evolved version of the Giganotosaurus, the strongest land predator in ARK. It is a skeleton in appearance and stronger than a normal Giga.

Where to find it

It spawns only during Fear Evolved, on most of the maps where the normal Giganotosaurus lives.

How to get one

It cannot be tamed in either game. To get a Giga you can ride, tame or breed a normal one.

Tips

It is stronger than a normal Giga, so fight it from a safe spot or with a large team, and do not let a few tames trade blows with it in the open.
