I know your default Giga name is Doomsday, but seeing as this is Fjordur, might I recommend Ragnarok?

imagine going into a cave alpha megalania jumps onto your tame knocks you off you fall to the ground in terror and fear as the the life drains from your tames eyes you see the beast that has caused you your loss you bring forth a better tame in a cryo-pod your tame roars and becomes enraged by the death of their fellow tame he bites the megalania but they evades skillfully maneuvering into a crevice and prepares to strike you grab your harpoon gun and shoot BANG it goes as the net flys through the air and just grazed the tail as the megalania pounces with no other choice you pull out your shotgun BANG it hit but to no avail you aid your tame in battle piloting him with skillful proliferation and after one singular loss the battle has concluded and you being crowned the victor but as the adrenaline dissipates you feel a sharp pain in your arm ad it starts to rot you fall ill to this unknown plague you run back to your tribe and you go to the tribes medic he prescribes you with a very grave illness he looks you in the eye and with a frown on his face he breaks the news “you have contracted GIGA RABIES” as you lay in bed your tribe scrambles to find a cure but alas they were to late and you succumbed to your illness as you lay in bed tames and tribe mates by your side you slowly fall asleep but not before the doctor kisses you on the cheek and you mutter i always loved you dr alistor he runs outside sobbing crying in the rain as you die your tribemates carry you to your grave and you lay in eternal peace -the end

Hey Syntac, thank you for always promoting gportal. I just rented a server from them today and am so much more pleased then i was with my previous server rental. Thank you for awesome videos. Honestly a godsend. Keep up the good work man. Great content even on a game that not many people like (im in love with this game). I watch your videos specifically all day as i play on my server alone. Once again thank you for the awesome videos. Never forget gallies are the strongest creature on the ark.

[@acoustyx6063]

When you end up going for shadowmanes, there are a bunch of x-salmon in a tiny pool in the aberration cave with the boss terminal.

[@ameliadriscoll8634]

There should be alpha wolves, trikes [I dont count enraged, its a corrupted robot], stegos [yea, i said it], direbears and therizinos. Would love if the ARK Additions mod had alpha versions of its creatures, looking forward to deinotherium dropping this weekend.

19:31 The only consumable your tames can take is the Mushroom Stew (or whatever it's called) to protect them from radiation poisoning.

[@BlakeSWGaming760]

I love the colors to the giga. It’s a 180 too, and that’s even better!

[@NateBuilder]

In my experience, the water has been the best for runes. Just swim around on a pretty good basilo with a mate boost and I've been able to kill alpha teuso's, megalodons and mosa's. One 174 alpha tueso gave me something like 130 runestones. I got like 500 in an hour or two

[@jonahscott7826]

You should name the giga Skullrunger, similar to the Old Norse word for champion, "skǫrungr".

[@Movienut1992]

For giga spawns, r-gigas and regular gigs can spawn in the same places. On the volcano island, the beach you started on, and then north of the old fort base, around that big mountain on the map, there's a spawn, that I know of. And all three places can have 2 gigas.

[@definitelynotThad]

You should've tamed that 201 tek rex to grow your tek rex army

[@hjhurdlow]

21:35 I live on that, like island right there and I've had probably 20+ fjordhawks follow me at once before. I accidentally tamed one because I killed one of my sheep to get some mutton for taming and the fjordhawk swooped in and ate some of it. It's actually kind of annoying, especially when your trying to harvest something and a hawk gets in the way lol.

[@justntme4404]

I found 2 gigas in that same place at the very beginning and one was high level, and I was trying to tame some of the nearby Andrewsarchus but it kept going to the gigas getting me killed once. I then lured them down the water fall and came back about a week later and got the low level giga away from the high level one and made a trap for the high level and tamed it. They were just hanging out below the waterfall with some Allosaurus for the whole time they were down there.

[@xlek125]

Possible names for the giga: Nidhogg or Malice In Norse mythology, Níðhöggr (Malice Striker, in Old Norse traditionally also spelled Níðhǫggr often anglicized Nidhogg is a dragon who gnaws at a root of the world tree, Yggdrasil. In historical Viking society, was a term for a social stigma, implying the loss of honor and the status of a villain. Thus, its name might refer to its role as a horrific monster in its action of chewing the corpses of the inhabitants of Náströnd: those guilty of murder, rape, and oath-breaking.

[@tigerheart89]

You're definitely going to want Gigas for skul and Hati along with the ice bear.

[@landonsprague6656]

[@gamzboy5764]

Basilosaurus are great for killing/taming mosasaurs as they can get relatively high health and good damage. They can kill normal mosasaurs and good for letting tusos grab them whilst you passive tame.

One thing I admire Syntac for is that he is taming a Dino without protection. What I mean, I personally would put gates around the giga or the Dino I tame just to make sure nothing will hit it even by accident. P.S I am so unlucky that even with gates around the Dino I tame an argy will come out of nowhere and hit my tame 🤣😭

Loving the video Syntac, and I hope taming these two Giga's will result in the other world bosses meeting their end sometime soon.

[@DukeMinnix]

I just last night faced Beyla and the wolf twins on a bred and imprinted giga. Right at 50k health and 300 percent melee, not the greatest by any stretch, but did them back to back without healing and remained about 30k health. Worst thing about the wolf twins is when they get low they try to push you outside those pillars and if they do, they reset health to full.
