According to the wiki on these things, the more levels they have added after tamed/raised, the gigantoraptors will actually give higher levels when force claiming/taming babies. So a lvl'd gigantoraptor = better taming effectiveness on the babies when you grab them. On pc/steam, pressing left ctrl while riding the gigantoraptor on your keyboard can pick up babies and auto put them in a basket.
Crabby you create fantastic, well researched, accurate and straight forward high quality content. You are my first point of call for anything ARK. You should have 100K+ Subs.
As always, Crabby delivers with the best science-based videos. Absolutely loved this one. Holy hell the glide distance!!! And the galli race! Super fun. Thanks for sharing your on-point research!
this is an amazing video. very detailed and outlines really well. I kinda would have wanted to see them in a boss fight with a group of maybe 14 rexes 1 yutty and then one parent (bird) so 7 rexes bonded 7 non bonded and see how the numbers stack up. On Gamma Beta and Alpha respectively~ Again amazing work! Thanks!
First video and so far love the content been looking for someone to cover to new chicken so I know if it’s worth it to put on our server thannnnk you didn’t even know it can pick up babies or allow you to pluck feather to better breed 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Imagine raising an army of Ceratos with the Gigantoraptor, bringing it to a boss fight next to a Yuty. Then sending your buffed self-healing spike monsters to shred every boss.
I can’t believe how many things I missed. When my friend got on their first bird I thought hey that’s fairly fast, had no idea they were faster than a galli. I also didn’t know the feathers were linked to the raptors best stat The only thing I don’t like is that you can’t stand on its back when dismounting. Especially for imprinting babies that are in the saddle they are always just out of reach. I also wish its calls were better and more unique
Do you know if raised babies drop a higher level % feahter? Example, you bredd your 209 tamed with a 54 tamed bird. And you get a 189 bird. Will the feather be a higher or will it be lower because of the lower tame? Thanks
first of all, nice video! something worth testing could be what after the 30% imprint from bonding? i had bonded with a creature but after that when i imprinted the baby it reset the imprint so i'm not sure what causes this. it didn't add up to the existing 30%. now this may be a bug but maybe you have to go out with the baby again in the basket. i'm not sure.
Oh no I didn’t have that happen so you bonded then imprinted and then the 30% you got at the start disappeared. Was this before or after the recent update ?
The bond is permanent unless you manually remove it. But the buff only starts kicking in and it’s temporary when the baby starts killing stuff with the parent nearby.
I have been scouring the internet trying to figure out how to scale the bonding AMOUNT. Any chance you would know? Needing 21kills for a lvl 125 doed seems a bit much, and is currently impossible with my maturing rates...
Oh are you on official. I’m playing unofficial and our breeding and imprinting rates are fast. My best guess is that if you increasing imprinting and breeding you will require less kills
Im running my own unofficial server. I have tried messing with the breeding and imprinting rates but they dont seem to affect the hunt amount sadly. @@Crabbytron
oh I mention that briefly in the video you cannot do it if you did not imprint the gigantoraptor you tamed. Say a tribe mate did or another player. You can only put the babies in the baskets if you did the imprint on the original tame of the gigantoraptor you are trying to put in the basket
I think that a Rex/whatever strong Dino you prefer as your army + a yuty rider and a giga chicken raptor rider that has bonded to the army for sure is the way to go.
@@Crabbytron Exactly!! On our friend server, we often struggled to decide who was riding who in the boss arena. Pigs honestly aren’t that useful imo so a lot of us ended up just riding the rexes. This guy is a perfect addition to the team!
Do we know if there's a setting that effects the NUMBER of hunts that a baby wants to go on? I always see videos where 100+ lvl babies want two hunts but on my server, it's 25 and the baby's mature speed is so fast that every creature will be grown long before I'm able to create the bond.
I had heard that which stat the Gigantoraptor feather gives in determined by the starting stats of the raptor and unaffected if you level them up to make another stat their highest. Can you confirm this from your testing?
It’s the base level stat whatever the highest stat is of that is the feather you get that’s why it’s the same every time. Still not sure how it decides if two are the same though
So i have 1 gigantoraptor an i plucked feathers everyday since the creature has released an i get same stamina feather with same exact % 60.77 or something the % doesnt change which i expected but also its always for stamina so my question is if i want hp or melee or weight do i need new gigantoraptor for each of those and is this gigantoraptor that i tamed only ever gonna gove stamina feathers? Thank you in advance to anyone that can help me figure these questions out :)
@@TakenCypress369 ha ha ha no worries yup it’s gonna give you the same one. You’ll need to take one with a higher health stat or melee but hard to tell unless you have a mod or Tek binoculars
Yes, I haven’t been able to play with the mod because it was crashing the server I was playing on so I wanted to know if the gigantoraptors could be uploaded
@@Crabbytron my Wheel appears empty and i get the msg, thanks for the replies. I also have some issues with the official mods, they wont show up either when you right click the empty skin icon in cosmetics, I could place the glass walls etc. before, but now the wont show either, is probably MoD related RIP.
Recent patch said that they changed feather pluck cool down to 8 hours

Interesting I can test it out. Does the auto but in basket bypass the level cap of the patent for the baskets 🧺
I think this may be the best indepth look at a dino video, I have ever seen for Ark. And ive played from the beginning. Amazing analysis.
Thanks so much that means a lot

Wet welcome sue. The glide is actually really far !
@@Crabbytron I was shocked how little stam it used for the glide too
@@sueage yeah not much at all
This is the best gigantoraptor video out there, I will press the bell for you, great work.
Thanks lovedurfbunny
great video,thanks for explaining the bonding biffs
Yeah I think it helps with a tribe mate I didn’t really understand it solo until Mr crab and I did it together
Thank you so much for being very thorough on your explanations for this creature! There was a lot I didnt understand before watching.
Very welcome
Awesome guide. Thank you!
Thanks :D
Well done, thanks for the work.

i like ur explanations simple and easy
Thanks djawad
Crabby!! You are doing a good giga chicken tutorial 😊❤️
Thanks Millie
@@Crabbytron you're super welcome. Can't wait to get on the server and hopefully see you again! Stay wonderful my friend ❤️

Crabbys, giga chickens! This video has it all!
Thanks 😊 I think they will be helpful like a yuti in bosses
B e a utiful video!
Thanks the highest compliment from Bey. Thanks so much 💜

The levels I have not figured out only the stats. My best guess is that the % will be higher than the 54 but lower than 209

@@MogrotGames thanks
Bonding buffs are perma or just temporal till the baby grows?
The bond is permanent unless you manually remove it. But the buff only starts kicking in and it’s temporary when the baby starts killing stuff with the parent nearby.

@@sushiisquared4203 our settings for a Rex and baby gigantoraptors I only had to do 2-3 kills for full bonding
Need 30 for lvl 242 stegos so maybe 30 is the cap?
@@Indpendent01 is that on official?
Do you know if the bonded buff stacks on a fully imprinted dino with the rider imprinting affinity buff?
It should if it’s bonded
@@Crabbytron Interesting, great video by the way.
@@methos7208 thanks 😊
I’ll have to zoom in to see if the affinity buff is still on in the footage but I’m on my phone atm
I breed a baby and put it in gigantoraptor and keeps saying INPRINT MISMATCH , Why ? Is it saying that ? Would be nice to know.
oh I mention that briefly in the video you cannot do it if you did not imprint the gigantoraptor you tamed. Say a tribe mate did or another player. You can only put the babies in the baskets if you did the imprint on the original tame of the gigantoraptor you are trying to put in the basket

Absolutely another supper for fights that can actually get in there and fight too is nice to have
@@Crabbytron Exactly!! On our friend server, we often struggled to decide who was riding who in the boss arena. Pigs honestly aren’t that useful imo so a lot of us ended up just riding the rexes. This guy is a perfect addition to the team!

That I’m not sure of our server is 2 hunts what’s your taming speed at
Hmm Mines 100 when it first came out and haven't tried since then.
what happens to bonding if you cryo the dino?
I can check but they should still be bonded but that is not something I tested
Would love to see with all the buffs in a fight. Sucks they only do the peck un ridden tho.
Yeah I think maybe a couple of them were foot stamping but most looked like pecking
I didn’t want to loose our breeders 😅
Follow-up research for the future!
@Crabbytron makes sense. I've put hours into looking for high levels and so far the only high levels I have found didn't have nests.
I was just wondering why I couldn't find the egg incubator
We definitely are not used to having to look there
Do you need to feed the baby if its already in the basket/saddle ?
Apparently it will eat if you are riding it but not if you are not riding it. Which is really frustrating
Can they hatch water tame eggs? Like tuso eggs? And also can u remove the egg from its inventory snd not hach it?
Hmmmm I did not test that. My best guess is no on then actually hatching as they would need to be submerged under water for it to work
@Crabbytron can u please test this!
@@agentsmith7947 I can but it will take me a little while working on monarky series and some scorched stuff atm. Oviraptor can pick up water eggs
@@Crabbytron ok thanks
are people using these on stegos to soak is what i wanna know, 10% might be alot if its x and not +
The additional 10 damaged reduction would be helpful but to reach max stacks the stegos need to go on a murder spree
@@Crabbytron how long does the buff last they might be able to drain a few things, right?
@@xastial9102 that was one thing I didn’t test are you gonna soak with stegos still
so wait is it better to bond your dinos to the gigantoraptors or is it better to imprint them normally
You can do both
@@Crabbytron okay thank you bc i didnt know if bonding was better bc of the buff or if imprinting was

But you are being picky…..

stack it with yuti buff even better
Exactly that’s my thoughts. The foot stop gets you a damage buff so you can get in there & fight more too
You are one amazing person Crabby. You’ve just earned a subscriber
(ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧
Thanks Nintendo!
Can babies eat out of gigaraptor inventory?
Yes, while in the basket, and you have to be riding it. If not they will starve to death.
@@layneaspen9084 yes I was going to comment this. It’s a bit annoying you have to do it this way.
Yes like the comment below you have to be riding it and have it in the basket which is frustrating
My stegos were not eating berries from the graptor while I was bonding them. Maybe berry feeding is broken?
@@Indpendent01 oh you have to be riding it I know that.
Can the gigantoraptor be uploaded in its current state?
What do you mean uploaded for transfer?
Yes, I haven’t been able to play with the mod because it was crashing the server I was playing on so I wanted to know if the gigantoraptors could be uploaded
@@gabrield.hudson5337 I don’t see why not as long as both servers have the mod with the mod at the same update level but I haven’t been able to test
How u spawn it?
Go to the wiki the spawn commands are there copy & paste in the command line
I'm totally bugged on official, my high level ones, cannot carry any babies, I get the msg over and over.
What level is your giganoraptor & what level are the babies?
@@Crabbytron lv 240, for some reason I cannot even pick lv 15 babies, but wait, can gigantoraptor pick up baby g.raptors ? xd
@@misteriosydioses mine could. That’s very strange is it grabbing the correct baby it’s hard to see in the wheel

Can you steal other tribe tames?

Do baby gigantoraptors eat berries
Yes! 🙌
I have never seen a melee feather lol
Even with melee as highest points ?
@@Crabbytron never once. I have literally 30 of everything feather but melee
@@Chewbroccolii huh 🤔 it’s meant to if the melee stat is the highest points maybe you are super unlucky
