ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
These things are great fr caves especially on mobile even a low level can do some serious Damage. I was buy the river once getting fish meet fr my barionic next thing I know it says level 14 gigantopithcus killed level 50 spino. Then I did the chitin cave with my level 120 bred giganto and just killed everything in the cave in seconds. Morale of the story get a gigantopithicus as soon as possible since there easy to tame and are great fr early game as they donβt need a saddle
More Gigantopithecus Utility Tips
Would be awesome if Gigantopithecus could ride two-seated mounts with you, even if just for us singleplayers to feel like we have company!
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.
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
To the people saying that these things should be able to wield swords:
Imagine being on a pvp server, and then someone with a fully imprinted and mutated big monke with 1.5K% melee shows up and pulls out an ascendent sword that does 400 base damage...
Sounds pretty balanced and fun
Situation described above will result in 6000 damage per hit btw, aka enough to kill tamed giga (without saddle) in 3 hits
Can climb on zip lines.
Absolute spider monkeys. Mission impossible planet of Apes

These guys SHOULD work similar to a companion in other games. It should be able to wield a sword along with the ability to wear more than just a helmet. Having a tame that acts as a warrior would be very cool for battle in ARK.
Get two of these, paint them black and use them as bodyguards.
