Tips & Strategies
Amazing tame! I tamed my first one a while ago when the lost island came out and I LOVED it! It has great speed great stamina good weight max, health better (or as good as) spinos! I canโt remember the exact dmg but I know it is close to thylas or carnos,it can climb! Jump far, throw grenades! Throw poop (I think it disables some tek stuff), and when in the wild they spawn in packs, to tame kill all the Dinopithecus in the pack except the Alpha, then it is a passive tame, I would assume mejoberrys are the best nonkibble but I think they might be omnivores, I forgot, anyway sorry for the long tip, I recommend you tame a pack of these ( I think they have pack bonus to). Have a good day/night!
More Dinopithecus Utility Tips
To all the people saying the dinopithecus sucks, or this isnโt a dinosaur blah blah blah..kick rocks. One this isnโt 2017, we have a whole Arsenal of dinos that arenโt dinos, too include dragons and space whales, even baby stealing platapus, so get dumped on. Two, the same old same old two legged reptiles and 4 legged mammals were getting old. People grew tired of using the same whole rexs for bosses and thaylas for caves. This is a breath of fresh air, and itโs a modest one at that. HP and Damage is on par with thyla/shadowmane, but with interesting twists such as helmets instead of saddle(more armor but degrades) and can throw poop and grenades. I tamed my first 145 yesterday and Iโve been completely happy with it in these early days of the new dlc!
Makes caves easy nothing aggros to it so you can just walk to the artifact.
It's ability to climb also makes it good
Fits in most on lost island.
May need a cryo-pod for tight spaces
Important note!
This guy can't use guns but canuse grenades
it can throw poop like the mesopitheicus but the poop can damage tek.
Careful with its explosive diarrhoea
Nearly the same base stats as the Shadowmane but more melee.
When in a pack the bleed is applied after you do the battle cry and the mate and pack boost stack, you can imagine the damage. Melee scales very well. The poop slows and drains, making this a very good high damage hit and run animal. The only thing holding it back would be the lack of a saddle but thatโs easily remedied with a helmet. If youโre going to using the throwables, throw poop first to slow and then a grenade for efficiency. Could be very good in pvp with a pack and the bleed could potentially shred through high armor targets.
They can throw grenades and they can throw poop that disables tek which I think will be a little broken for pvp and they are big stronk
Added to the lost world. Should be able to climb trees.
If the butt can be coloured then the butt will be brown
Imagine jumping from tree to tree climbing up surfaces like a thyla that sounds

Don't try taming with tek armor cause it throws poop that disables tek armor
