ARK: Survival Evolved Taming Calculator
Mesopithecus
ARK's base taming speed on PC, PS4, and Xbox is now doubled, meaning 1× is as fast as what 2× was previously. Dododex has been updated to reflect this. Use the "presets" dropdown for common multipliers.
For full Mesopithecus taming details, get the taming calculator app.

Best shoulder mount ever. Once I got an Allosaurus low and my sword broke first. It was about to gnash me but here my meso goes. Throws a piece of poop exactly in the Allo’s mouth and it died.
if you whistle one of these on a door it will unlock it (like so ppl know)
If you sneak up behind it, give it a mejoberry, then back straight up... over and over again... you’ll tame one. Took me forever to realize that.
I feed one of these things a single dodo kibble (on mobile) and it tamed instantly without any other factors just a heads up for those of you who don't like wasting time
Not sure if anyone else has noticed but it has a strangely specimen implant shaped pattern on the tops of its hands
If you put them on wandering they'll pick up berries. When you put it on your shoulder it throws poop at your enemy and the poop does damage and slows down the target
If you want to tame one of these, but can not locate one, and have good directional hearing, these are it’s approximate voicelines:
Idle/Wandering: OH-HUH-HUH-OH-HUH!
Idle/Wandering 2: OOH-HAH-ARGH.
Upon being tamed/waking up after sleeping: (low pitched) HOO-HO-HU-HA-HAH!
Scared: TAH! WUH- WUH!
Dead: AGH!
Idle/Wandering: OH-HUH-HUH-OH-HUH!
Idle/Wandering 2: OOH-HAH-ARGH.
Upon being tamed/waking up after sleeping: (low pitched) HOO-HO-HU-HA-HAH!
Scared: TAH! WUH- WUH!
Dead: AGH!
They can ride in your shoulder. Having a monkey while sailing in your pirate ship is strangely satisfying. 😎
Dude, these things are FRAGILE when in the wild. I literally found a female one to tame, but a Dilophosaurus had just then decided that she would make a tasty snack, so I stood my ground and rushed past the monkey, feeding her a mejoberry as I did so, and saved her at the same time by distracting the Dilophosaurus by fighting and killing it (even when I knocked it unconscious I killed it as I gave that thing’s sorry flank no mercy). She did get a bit startled by the commotion of the fight and ran away, but because I ran in the opposite direction while fighting the Dilophosaurus, she quickly lost sight of us just as quickly as she had obtained it. Taming her right now. #SaveTheMonkeys #SaveTheMesopithecus
