Can you tame a giga with a cannon?

The answer to this question is a straightforward no, as cannonballs will not knock out a Giga for taming, and instead, you’ll need to use a combination of tranq arrows, narcotics, and kibble to successfully tame one of these majestic creatures. To tame a Giga, you’ll want to fly over it with a Quetzal and knock it out from the platform, using a longneck rifle or crossbow with tranq darts, and then feed it kibble or raw prime meat to keep it tame.
