The Giganotosaurus (GIG-ə-NOH-tə-SOR-əs), meaning "Giant Southern lizard", is one of the Dinosaurs in ARK: Survival Evolved and is the most powerful theropod in the game.
Bring Tranq Arrows or Tranq Darts, a Crossbow or Longneck Rifle, Narcotics or Narcoberries, and bug repellent.
Find a wild Skeletal Giganotosaurus on supported maps. Check the spawn map and bring a fast mount or a flyer for transport.
Skeletal Giganotosaurus is a knockout tame. Use a Crossbow, Longneck Rifle with Tranq Darts, or Shocking Tranq Darts. Aim for the head for bonus torpor and keep distance to avoid aggro damage.
Place Kibble (preferred) or Raw Mutton in its inventory (alternatives: Cooked Lamb Chop, Raw Prime Meat, Cooked Prime Meat, Raw Meat). Higher-tier food gives faster taming and higher level bonuses.
Watch the torpor bar. Feed Narcoberries or Narcotics to prevent it from waking up before the tame completes.
Once tamed, Skeletal Giganotosaurus will follow your commands. It cannot be ridden.
