Use a menagarum to freeze the alpha while you kill the betas.

Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Dinopithecus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
I’ve read from a couple sources that once you feed the monkey, sometimes it takes up to like 10 minutes before you can feed the second piece so don’t give up guys
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…

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!
These creatures are the best and are like thylos and are tanks and great boss fighters
On Val, these guys look different then there lost island varient
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…

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
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…
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.
This thing is the perfect Dino for a all around tame great mobility good hp good damage has range fun doesn’t need a saddle gets you poop for crops and for throwing can harvest well and is a quick take after trapping it
Can it disable tek generator and tek turrets????
They spawn in the redwoods on valguero
Idea for infinite Dinopithecus ammo
1. Tame a Dinopithecus
2. Tame a Phiomia
3. Force feed the Phiomia stimberries
4. The phiomia should poop (a lot)
5. Collect all of the poop and put it in the Monke’s inventory (you can also use the Monke’s primary or bite…

They are great stealing deinonychus eggs, for some reason deinonychus don't aggro on when riding, idk if the aggro when u steal an egg but I found this out while on an errand for meat
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…

These guys will mess anything up against you, all the way up to Rex’s with relative ease. Matched with some amazing mobility and the ability to throw grenades make these a must have for any tribes looking to move fast and kill fast.
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.
Those poop grenades are gonna be epic
Me with tek rifle:
Dinopithecus: and I took that personally
