Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a dinopithecus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a dinopithecus.
To tame a baboon thing you will first have to murder its friends and family including its children. Then you beat some sense into it until it is at less than 85% health then shove food in its mouth against its will and it will somehow start to love you.
They are omnivores so you can feed them berries and meat. Up so noobs can see.
You need to kill all but the alpha (since it would be the highest level). Upon doing so it will be passive towards you and your tame. You can hop off then feed it meat. Not sure what kibble it uses. An awesome tame comes out around 5k health and 3k stam in 150s from what I’ve seen and scales cliffs and structures extremely quickly. One of the most entertaining dinos I’ve used in a long while
You can only tame the alpha monkey, the one that has the glow. You will have to kill the entire pack EXCEPT the alpha. You'll want to get it below 85% of its health. When you have done that you passive tame it with its preferred food, like exceptional kibble. I'd guess it eats meat too. Hope it helps!
I don’t know if this is intentional, but these guys also spawn on Valguero. I play on an official server, and the redwoods are packed with these guys.
To tame it you first need to kill the alpha's entire family and then beat it until you assert dominance and then just forcibly shove food into him until it gets Stockholm Syndrome and becomes your best friend
Kill its family, beat it until it is below 15% health, then feed it. You must do this to the alpha also. It should have an orange-red aura around its body.
-The Buttfingerer
Its a kind of passive tame
You can only tame the alpha from the group but first u have to kill the others to gain its trust than u have tu get below 85% health than you can passive tame it with mutton prime
They can be found In the redwoods on the lost island map.
Taming is easy just
1. find a group.
2. Kill all but one (preferably the alpha since it’s the highest level)
3. Injure the last one to about 80% hp or once it starts to bleed a bit.
4. Once all the requirements are met it’s just a easy passive tame it’s omnivorous so it will eat meat or plants.
Happy taming
Use a menagarum to freeze the alpha while you kill the betas.
Ok, so y'all are saying it will be half the hight of a human......
How do you expect to ride it! For example the giga is barely bigger than a rex in real life but in ark it's twice the size. Which isn't a bad thing but with ARK it's go big or go home expect something the size of the eques if not bigger because how are you going to ride something that only comes to your waste.In other words
BE AFRAID OF DA MONKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We aren't a colt......
Yet.......
Thanks for reading.
Make sure to kill the babies around it because if a baby gets on it’s back it’ll bug out and the food won’t go down. Make sure people see this
Will da monke be skinny King Kong?
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
Can be found in Valguero redwoods!
They also spawn on Val up so people see
Here's what you need.
A few grapples and crossbow
A gun
A lot of ammo for gun of your choosing
And I recommend a dino or pike.
Grapple to a tree, shoot all the baboons that don't have the red glow INCLUDING baby's. After they are dead, start shooting the alpha baboon until it's under 85% heath. You will know it's ready to tame when it just walks around. Put taming food of your choice in lost slot of your hot bar, then follow it around and tame.
I was way more intimidated to tame one of these than I should have been... jumped on an argy, killed its tribe, hurt it a little, kept the area clear while feeding it prime meat, ironicly from one of its babies... almost lvl 200 after tame; its a game changer. Thylo on meth.
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
They should be omnivores and get a pack buff like raptors dire wolves
