What is a gigantopithecus used for? gigantopithecus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
On Xbox, left tab throws you (It's like a spear, the longer you hold down the harder it throws, but there is a max), the other special attack, what you would use for crouching, is what you use to pick up only fiber, and regular attack only picks up berries. It can sprint, swim fast, and jump. Best of all it can wear hats. I equipped my hat with a cowboy hat skin, and it looks hilarious.
Ark's very own king Kong. You looking to cave dive, take this awesome tame with you. one or two should do, accompanied with a pack of dire wolf's, then your practically unstoppable. These tame has a knock back attack allowing you to throw in more hit than your nemesis and hey not to ignore their high damage and high hp, all this coupled with extra amor gotten from their helmet, They are basically waking bulwarks.
I reckon they should add a much bigger version of this because this just looks dull in my opinion, I mean its strong but not in comparison to other creatures like the Carno and Allosaurus. The important part if they add a bigger ape is that its tameable.

Gigantopithecus profile:
How to tame: get behind it and get close to it (I suggest crouching) and then feed it, titanaboa kibble is the best taming food for it, but mejoberrys work great too, don’t touch it or get too close or it will attack you and won’t stop until you are out of sight.
Abilities when tamed: This guy can throw you VERY far away which could be helpful if you need to escape quickly, it has good damage, decent-good health (about 600-700 at low level) it has good speed, decent stamina, it’s weight is kind of low but still pretty good, they swim fast too.
ENCOUNTERING: they won’t attack you unless you touch them or get very very close (right on top of it basically) also these guys can save you, if you are being attacked by something and need help, run up to these guys and try to make your enemy attack it and this thing might save you!
Where to find: they are a uncommon creature in the redwoods, pretty easy to find just careful for thylas and other creatures, they only spawn in redwoods or beaches next to redwoods (very close). Sorry for the long tip, I hope I helped someone out! Have a good day/night!
Fiber Gatherer: Gigantopithecus is a great fiber collected, even being able to gather fiber while on wander
Warrior: With the knock back of a Bronto, and high melee damage, they can make quick work of small dinosaurs, and players
Berry Collector: They collect berries with incredible swiftness, and can defend you if you get into some trouble
