I had a gigantopithecus called shiela and she was a good tame, then, I was chilling out and then we got attacked by microraptors and I was knocked off of shiela, she ran off to fight it and when I woke up she was gone, I have not seen her since, #pray for shiela, if you pray for her you get a cookie 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

God forbid one agros on you while you're off your mount, it'll break your armor and then your neck

Tamed 2 ( lvl 125 and lvl 90 ) did some upgrading mostly to health and melee. Turned my back to cook some meat. Hear scary music, see lvl 130 Rex's corps just flying over my head.

Hope you get shiela back

From experience, fly with argie and drop them in a box and then take them. Passive tame btw. Mine kept getting attacked by terror birds and the tame bar would reset.

⤴️ so others morons like me will know.

Would be awesome if Gigantopithecus could ride two-seated mounts with you, even if just for us singleplayers to feel like we have company!

Nice to know people are praying for my shiela thank you!

This creature only spawns in the redwood forest, So I recommend using an argentavis to bring him into a taming pin, or he will most likely die by terror birds. If you wear a full ghillie suit then he will not agro on you. If you don't have a ghillie suit, Then sneak up behind it's back, don't get too close, don't let it see you, and then feed it berries. If this helped then please like this. 👍🏼

NEVER EVER try to kill it with out strong armor and weapons cause this Bigfoot will yeet you and smother

You

Oh it’s pretty fast

If it chases you run to a carnivore (if their is one)

Make it mad then run to the Bigfoot then watch the fight :0

Use gillie armor!

TLC patch to be added in March 2018 to add armor degrading attack, jump ability, and aiming system for throw. Like for people to see!

On mobile, you can actually harvest fiber with them. Just get off of your ape in a bush and they will squat down and gather a good amount of fiber.

I had just knocked out an argie and was preparing to tame it. Then I realized I had barely any prime meat. So me and my pteranodon went out and absolutely murked every paracer and diplo around the red peaks. Then when I was going back I was flying low and didn’t see the small brown patch under me… Then a purlovia jumps out and attacks me, breaking my chitin armor and lowering my pteranodon to half hp, when I got unstunned I got on my pteranodon as fast as I could.

I knew I couldn’t make it out with the pteranodon in time so I prepared for the worst. Then my hero, A level 30 bigfoot storms out from behind a tree and beats the living crap out of that purlovia, killing it. Needless to say I thank bigfoot for taking time out of his day to beat up a bully.

Best way to tame this creature is to give it soothing bond and then feed it purple berries he will only need to eat 3 or 4 then bam it’s tamed and now Bigfoot your friend

Possibly the most useful creature to go caving with as his small size but large health and damage allows him to withstand onycs,spiders and scorpions haven't encountered a arthurplura yet so not sure how effective he is against it

I was being attacked by a dire bear (I didn't have good weapons) and this dude came over and murdered the dire bear
