Dinopithecus: and I took that personally
These things are harder then they look to tame. You have to find a good level, then kill all the rest of them in the pack except the one you want to tame. After you need to hurt it until it is at I think 10% health. Once it is it will become passive. Put your taming food in your last item slot, and passive tame it. Congratulations you just got a baboon that throws grenadines and poop.
The first feed takes forever so be patient. These things are awesome to get around on and nothing Aggros to them. Take a decent tame to the redwood and you can damage it with that so you don’t need to waste bullets
One tip is these spawn on valguero due to the new update as well as sinomacrops and rarely maewing
Bro I saw some in val and it says you can only find them on lost island
This has to be tamed none-violently like the arthropluera🪱 in ark but kill the alpha’s family and he will be nice as a fish and tame the alpha and you have your only climber in ark!
I was fly-in around on my pteranadon in the red woods and i saw the cutest thing ( takes breath ) THEY CARY THERE BABIES ON THER BACK
SOO CUTE
Don’t need to kill the entire pack, just trap two and kill the lower level one, then passive tame with meat. Make sure no higher level one is around.
They are in Valguero too.
You have to kill all the others in order to tame the alpha including the babies
Don’t be fooled. They can be carried by wyverns. They haven’t updated its data since it is a new dinosaur.
This thing actually spawns on valguero in the redwoods Dododex says it’s only on lost island
The lower you get the alphas health before feeding for the first time the quicker he will want to be fed. Equal faster taming time.
It can be picked up by the quetzl
I'm unsure if this has be changed recently but I only had to kill two in its pack, i didn't need to attack him directly, the alpha was then easy to tame with exceptional kibble, i DID NOT need to drop his health below 80 percent!
As others said passive tame. You have to kill at least 1 other Dinopithecus near the alpha. Then lower the alphas HP to really low. Tips say use berries but I have been using prime meat to passive tame. No saddle needed and these guys can climb better than a thyla. Also hardly takes any fall damage.
USE THE CAPTAIN FAT DOG TRAP! MAKES TAMING SOO EASY
