Breeding the R-Giganotosaurus produces fertilized eggs that require careful temperature control.Incubation temperature must stay between 43°C and 44°C - use Air Conditioners, Standing Torches, or Dimetrodons to maintain the range.At the correct temperature, the egg hatches in approximately 2 days and 1 hour.

After hatching or birth, the baby R-Giganotosaurus matures over an extremely long period, one of the longest in the game, reaching adulthood in about 10 days and 3 hours at 1x maturation.The most labor-intensive part is the baby phase (0–10% maturation) when it can't use a Feeding Trough yet.

Offspring inherit parental stats and have a small chance to mutate, gaining +2 levels in a random stat.Use the breeding calculator to plan food requirements, incubation timers, and maturation phases.

The R-Giganotosaurus's growth progresses through three stages: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~1464 min and requires constant hand-feeding.Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~98h - it can eat from a Trough now.Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~122h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.

Imprint bonuses are significant: a fully imprinted R-Giganotosaurus gains 30% extra damage and damage resistance with its imprinter mounted.Imprint requests include cuddling, walks, and specific kibble - check the wiki for which kibble to stockpile.

Use the raising calculator to plan food requirements for raising R-Giganotosaurus babies through all three growth stages.The Baby phase (0–10%) takes ~1464 minutes and is the most hands-on, requiring direct feeding or a Maewing.

The multiplier feature helps plan large-scale R-Giganotosaurus raises by totaling food across all babies.Consider food spoilage when choosing what to feed: Kibble lasts days, while Raw Meat spoils in minutes.

ARK: Survival Ascended features the R-Giganotosaurus as a tamable, carnivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild.It falls within the Variant classification.

Its base Stamina of 400 gives it solid stamina reserves.Its base Melee Damage sits at 100%, giving it respectable melee power.The R-Giganotosaurus has 80,000 base Health - an absolute bullet sponge.Weight capacity starts at 700, giving it an enormous weight pool.

To tame the R-Giganotosaurus, you need to knock it unconscious using torpor weapons, then feed it while it's down.Exceptional Kibble is the most effective food for taming, offering the highest affinity per feeding.

As a tame, the R-Giganotosaurus has the carrying capacity to serve as a reliable transport mount for heavy loads.Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 43°C–44°C temperature window.A wild R-Giganotosaurus is worth 200 base experience when killed.It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.99 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
