What are tips for gigantopithecus? Tips and strategies for gigantopithecus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
I saw one of those in the ice biome my eyes saw it getting killed by my eqis
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
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
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!
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 :)
Just use 2 large billboards then boom but it might take a bit of time to get it trapped
On mobile anyway you can ride an Argi and follow him without needing camo or needing to crouch
