What is a dinopithecus used for? dinopithecus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
To all the people saying the dinopithecus sucks, or this isn’t a dinosaur blah blah blah..kick rocks. One this isn’t 2017, we have a whole Arsenal of dinos that aren’t 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 it’s 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 I’ve been completely happy with it in these early days of the new dlc!
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 that’s easily remedied with a helmet. If you’re 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.
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 can’t 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!
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
