Tips & Strategies
How to tame: Step 1: Bring a strong Dino such as a tough spino or even Rex/paracer (bronto is to big it might destroy your trap).
Step 2: build a good sized trap made out of stone ( it breaks wood and fits through normal Dino gateway)
Step 3: set your strong Dino on passive, shoot the alpha with bow or gun, lure it into the trap (its fast).
Step 4: hop on your strong Dino ( I suggest a good spino or Rex, ferox might work to in big form) and kill all the baboons except the alpha without destroying your trap.
Step 5: look through a window or something in the trap, and just get away a bit and when the alpha has calmed down just passive tame it, I suggest prime meat or mejoberrys, but normal meat works to.
Step 6: have fun with your new op giant baboon!
I hope this tip was helpful, have a good day/night!
Can climb trees, somewhat buggy but if you take your time it’s great for ambush in pvp potentially.
The poop slows and drains, throw poop and then grenade so you slow your target before blowing them up.
Has similar base stats to a Shadowmane but has higher melee and can wear helmets to help the no armor situation. Very good damage, pack buff, and bleed
Cannot be picked up by an argentavis
just a heads up these are in valguero and around redwood areas
Only that alpha can be tamed. If you do kill the alpha, the next lowest level will not become the next alpha. Babies can not be tamed, even when all the adults of their troop have been killed. Babies don't count when you're killing to scare the alpha!
I only saw kibble, crops and berries listed as taming food but I tamed mine with raw meat. When I found it, it was alone stuck between some trees so I seized the opportunity. I went up to it, and it said it’s health had to be below 85%. It was a low level, below level 100. I hit it with a few arrows from my crossbow and it said it was ready to passive tame. I put raw meat on my end quick-slot and it was tamed in 2 bites with the 3x event rates.
They are in Valguero too.
This is the least passive, passive tame.
find an Alpha monkey (has a red aura around it) kill all other monkeys around it preferably with shotgun even the BABIES and then attack the alpha until he’s below 85% health and starts walking around. then feed it raw mutton or meat, if you don’t know how to passive tame, put the food in your last slot and walk up to the dino and press e. follow and protect him until he is tamed.
make sure to give him a helmet and put a good skin on it, i use the rex bone skin i got from an alpha raptor
These guys have great stats and are definitely worth getting, I am playing on Val to do this so it must be a bug that they are there but I say get them while u can, especially a breeding pair so that once the creators remove them( or maybe the won’t 🤔) u can have as many as u want.
Incredible easy if you have a wyvern. Just kill the betas and beat it until it stopps attacking you. Pick it up to a save space (built myself two traps in a peaceful spot next to redwood cause I’m taming a lot of these guys for mutated army) and feed it.
I’ve tried to tame 2 of these but there food never goes down when passive taming. As soon as I passive feed it once it never lets me feed it again. Any tips
They spawn in the redwoods on valguero
