What are tips for gigantopithecus? Tips and strategies for gigantopithecus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
All I can say, is that this gorilla is great at caves, just not the ice, the lava or the one in the top left corner in the snow biome. On mobile you can put hats on it, if you got a clown mask or glasses, I recommend using an ascendent hat, mostly hide or chitin due to arthroplueras annoying spit attacks. Level up melee damage and health, there you got a hairy gorilla by your side.
don’t knock out unless it’s angered and always have 20-50 mejoberries and be quick and quiet to tame it
Put it in a 1 by 1 with door frames best way to tame
Issa monkey 🐒 give it berries
Sneak up behind it and feed it berry’s, or regular kibble if you have it, wear a ghillie suit so it won’t see u at all, once it’s tamed it’s very strong and if you level it up good it’s almost unstoppable with its strong punches and as a bonus it can yeet you far distances so you can set up mini games with your friends utilising the gigantopithecus yeet ability
Crouch and walk behind it but don’t bump into it it’s a gorilla
There is a glitch where you dismount ur ape ant they just move back wards
Start taming before u sleep. In the morning it will be hungry and feed faster. Don’t save or it’s hunger resets!
Best way to tame these is to pick up 1 or 2 with the Karkinos
Put in crab claw and stand under it with taming food, no wandering makes it easier. Idk if all of them do it, but after I let it go as a tamed creature, it took off instead of following, so tame inside gates if doing it this way
Pick up in your crabs claw and jump off then start feeding it without worries of it aggroing
For those who play on mobile, if you touch it, it agros on you and you need to get out of render distance to reset the A
agro. HOWEVER it doesn’t seem to agro on my sabertooth even if I run right into it. Worthwhile to take from the back of one to both protect it and stay protected while taming. Or just use traps but I’m lazy haha
