The his furry stink ape is a must have for caving, exploration, and travel. Hop of this lost father in a bush for fiber and wack em for berries.

I wiped out the entire lava cave in just six minutes. With a few foundations of course for traveling over gaps but they are absolute tanks. You can equip a helmet in the saddle spot (i use the flak helmet) and they look so menacing.

If you want to tame, make this trap out of WOOD. Make a 2x2 foundation with 1 wall high. And around the rim of the walls place ceilings on the OUTSIDE. when you use your argy to lift this guy into the trap it will agro somewhat fast so make it relatively close to it and drop it in but right after you drop it in and land CROUCH as soon as you can and wait till it’s not mad anymore. Once it’s chilled out hop on the ceilings and crouch again. Feed this guy mejoberries for an easy tame and/or use soothing balm for a faster taming process. You could also just follow him around with mejoberries in your hand and shove it up his butt. The trap is easiest way for taming this beast and you can rule ark with this guy.

^if you find this helpful

If you type in "bigfoot" this shows up?? WHY

ITS TRUE

Get behind it with a flyer close by for emergencies, and continuously shove berries up its butt whenever it crouches down, STAY BEHIND IT THOUGH OR YOU WILL DIE A PAINFUL DEATH BY BIGFOOT

All I gotta say is early game get yourself some berry’s and tame one they are good for berry meat hide and they can win in a fight overall just a good tame!

Crouch and sneak behind them so you don’t DIE

A random tip for mobile players:

Due to a nerf in mobile where flyers get a speed debuff from taking damage (which can get painfully annoying especially in single player), I recommend using a quetzal to carry the gigantopithecus to a safe spot (e.g near an area in your base that you feel is safe for your potential ape tame and definitely not anywhere near your tames)

If you look under the amount of food it needs, it shows the amount of time for each interval, meaning you can set a clock and know exactly when :)

You don’t need a saddle needed

Gigantopithecus is great at gathering fiber when set to wander and has a good decent damage the gigantopithecus is also ridden at all times can be found on redwoods walking around just read it hope it helps :p

These do collect fiber on mobile!!!!! Just put them on wondering outside of you base!!

If u are a admin on ark mobile get a balm preferably 10x or 15x and titanoboa kibble and feed it with out shrouding u

These guys are like hulk tame a high level one and you are ready to kill even a t rex or spino I had one named 'monke' he died cnidaria rip monke lvl 164

:-|Ó╭╮Ò

Amazing fiber harvester, mine’s just a level 15, left it on wander for a while and boomm 2k worth

Don’t have to manual collect now

I play on xbox and they can throw me far so i.

Tame one put it on mountain make parachute and made it throw me where you want to go.

You might want something in a cryopod that you can use if you need it

Just use 2 large billboards then boom but it might take a bit of time to get it trapped

Can these guys still hold shoulder pets? If so what is it on ps4

On mobile anyway you can ride an Argi and follow him without needing camo or needing to crouch

Where is red wood!!!!!!!!? Where is he/sheeeee

So people say you have to push R3(on ps4 IDK what it is on other platforms) to pick up shoulder mounts but you actually have to push L1 and R3 together to pick up shoulder mounts

When tamed it should be able to hold things like a mantis!
