Hey there, fellow adventurer! 👋 Have you ever looked up at the sky in Throne and Liberty and seen a massive whale soaring through the clouds? That's the Gigantrite, and let me tell you, riding it is one of the most unforgettable experiences in the game. I still remember my first time — the scale is absolutely jaw-dropping, and sharing the moment with dozens of other players never gets old. Even in 2026, this remains a must-do for any serious explorer. So grab your glider, and let's dive into everything you need to know about mounting this divine beast, farming its resources, and even snagging a cute little companion along the way.

When and Where to Catch the Gigantrite

First things first: you need to be at the Starlight Observatory Tower at the right time. The Gigantrite isn't a one-time event — it spawns every three hours, so you can easily fit it into your schedule. Here's the exact timetable:

Just pick a time that works for you, head to the highest point of the tower, and wait. Trust me, you won't be alone — there's always a crowd of players ready to jump. As the Gigantrite approaches from the distance, the in-game chat lights up with excitement. It's a real community moment.

How to Actually Mount the Gigantrite

Okay, so you're standing on the tower, the whale is getting closer... what now? The trick is simple but requires a bit of timing:

1. Wait until the Gigantrite is directly overhead or slightly past you.

2. Leap off the tower and immediately activate your Glide Morph.

3. Aim for its flippers or its back — either works fine.

4. Make sure you're above it before you descend. If you land successfully, you'll see the message: "Mounted the Divine Beast" pop up on your screen.

It's a leap of faith, but once you're on, the view is absolutely worth it. 🌟

What to Do Once You're on the Gigantrite

So you've made it! Now what? There's actually plenty to keep you busy during the ride:

Mining Marind Ore

All over the Gigantrite's back, you'll find Marind Ore veins. They spawn periodically, so keep moving around. You can get Quality Marind Ore and even Rare Marind Ore — fantastic for crafting equipment. I always stock up whenever I get the chance.

Healing the Gigantrite's Wounds

You'll also notice large, stone-like chunks on its back. These are actually wounds, and you can use Vitalstones to patch them up. In return, you'll receive Stellarite Element or even Quality Stellarite Element. These are used to obtain Stellarite from Stellarite Chests or Quality Stellarite Chests by visiting Sundries Crafting NPCs in towns. It's a win-win: you help the beast and get valuable loot.

Unlocking the Saurodoma Island Waypoint

This one is a bit tricky but totally worth it. The Saurodoma Island Waypoint can only be unlocked by riding the Gigantrite to the very end. Wait until you see the message "Gigantrite's Blessing effect on Solisium ends", then wait a few more seconds. The beast will move forward, putting you in prime position. Leap off its horn, glide toward Saurodoma Island, and use the Descend action to land on the tall, flat tree. Activate the Waypoint, watch the cutscene, and enjoy the stunning views. 🏝️

How to Get the Snow White Cutie Yeddi Amitoi

Before you board the Gigantrite for the first time, I highly recommend unlocking the Nesting Ground Waypoint first. That gives you access to the "Little Friend in the Sky" side quest. Here's the deal: you need to complete the first few steps before mounting the Divine Beast, or you won't be able to interact with the Amitoi.

Step 1: Read Someone's Note

Follow the waypoint just outside the Starlight Observatory Tower and read Someone's Note. This introduces you to the Amitoi, but you don't know where it is yet.

Step 2: Read Someone's Diary

Head north from where you found the Note and read Someone's Diary. Surprise! The Amitoi is aboard the Gigantrite.

Step 3: Retrieve the Powerless Little Doll

Now you can safely mount the Gigantrite and search for the Yeddi Amitoi. It's on the right-hand side, on top of a large rock near the edge. If you're having trouble, head back toward the tail, turn around to face the front, then move up the right side. As soon as you pass the first flipper, the Yeddi Amitoi will be directly to your right on an elevated rock. Interact with it to claim it and complete the quest!

Final Tips for Your Gigantrite Adventure

• Don't rush the jump. Wait for the right moment — it's better to miss the first pass than to fall into the ocean.

• Bring friends. The more, the merrier, and you can help each other find ore veins and wounds.

• Stay until the end if you want that Saurodoma Island Waypoint. It's a one-time unlock, so don't skip it.

• Do the quest steps first if you're after the Yeddi Amitoi. I learned that the hard way! 😅

So there you have it — everything you need to mount the Gigantrite, farm its resources, and get yourself a cute floating companion. Whether you're a veteran or a newcomer, this is one experience that truly captures the magic of Throne and Liberty. See you in the sky! 🐋✨
