1 build a 4 by 4 foundation wood or stone the put the walls.

2 find a gigantopithecus

3 carry it with an argy

4 drop it in the box that you made

5 make 1 roof and place it anywhere outside the box

6 feed it

And thats how you tame a gigantopithecus with ease.

Sheila is alive and happy on my PVE server. She guards my greenhouse.

Don’t put walls around when taming, put 4 doorframes beforehand, pick up with argentavis and then you can get close enough to tame easily, while it can’t get out. It does not fit through the doorframe. DO NOT PUT DOORS ON DOORFRAME.

I saw this thing from a distance fighting some terror birds on my single player game, and I literally said to myself “dude, is that another player?”

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.

I coloured mine green, named it shreak thèn dropped him in the swamp

Hope you get shiela back

Place a stone foundation and four stone doorframes. Place inside by picking up with medium to large flying creatures ( I use argentavis), and drop it inside your doorframes. This prevents it from escaping and allows you to still get close without risking getting hit, also just crouch. I have tamed at least four this way and have trapped many more (to see how long it could survive against raptors and terror birds.) Please make it so others learn this easy way to stop them from getting away when you are taming them.

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!

Use gillie armor!

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. 👍🏼

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

Totally thought this was another player first time I encountered it in single player.

No gille armor all you need to do is crouch behind it and shove berries up its butt...I'm not kidding

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.

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