Breeding the 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.

The baby Giganotosaurus takes approximately 10 days and 3 hours to fully mature at default rates - at a glacially slow pace - plan for a multi-day commitment.The most labor-intensive part is the baby phase (0–10% maturation) when it can't use a Feeding Trough yet.

Each baby inherits stats from both parents with a chance of mutation - +2 wild levels to a random stat plus a color change.Use the breeding calculator to plan food requirements, incubation timers, and maturation phases.

Raising a baby Giganotosaurus involves three maturation phases: 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.

Don't skip imprinting - each successful imprint boosts the Giganotosaurus's stats, and hitting 100% grants a 30% combat bonus when the imprinter rides it.Imprint requests include cuddling, walks, and specific kibble - check the wiki for which kibble to stockpile.

The raising calculator above shows exactly how much food you need for each maturation phase of the Giganotosaurus.Expect ~1464 minutes of active care during the Baby phase before it graduates to trough-feeding as a Juvenile.

The multiplier feature helps plan large-scale Giganotosaurus raises by totaling food across all babies.Different food types have different spoil timers - factor that into which food you stockpile.

The Giganotosaurus, a tamable, carnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended, is a common sight across multiple maps.

With 100% base Melee Damage, the Giganotosaurus has decent hitting power.With 80,000 base Health, the Giganotosaurus is extraordinarily tanky.With 400 base Stamina, the Giganotosaurus has respectable staying power.It carries 700 base Weight - excellent carrying capacity.

Taming the Giganotosaurus requires rendering it unconscious first - use Tranq Arrows, Darts, or Shocking Tranq Darts to apply torpor.For best results, use Exceptional Kibble - it gives the highest taming efficiency.

Once tamed, the Giganotosaurus is a practical workhorse - it can both gather and haul resources efficiently.It reproduces by laying eggs, which must be incubated between 43°C and 44°C.Killing a wild Giganotosaurus yields 200 base XP.It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.99 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
