Tips & Strategies

What are tips for gigantopithecus? Tips and strategies for gigantopithecus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
I treat them like humans with parka clothes because they are the closest thing to human in Ark (the island
map)
They are often found in places like a mountain or something. Make sure no hostiles are nearby and sneak up to it in a Ghille suit and feed it some kibble! They are like the mesopethicus but instead of running away from you they start attacking you. If they do start attacking you, I suggest it is time to hop on your Ptera or Argy and find another one.
First get mejoberry for donkey kong.secong feed him it.third wait till he is hungry and you caught king kong
Absolutely 0 preparation needed. Just sneak up on it and feed it.
Just don’t bump into him and he won’t attack
If you are a noob at ARK get this dude he is very helpful
If you lost your Dino, just request them on mobile. If you play the pc version, you can use the so called ark-tools. If you type that into your favourite search engine you also might stumble across a version with GUI. If you really want to get your beloved pet back - that is the way to go.
Just shove some berries up its a$$
Though normally not bothered about humans unless they go right up to them these creatures have a deep bubbling boiling primal urge hard-wired into they're brains to serve they're king the mighty megapithecus in pc, or the cunning and monstrous megapithecus pestis in mobile, BEWARE!
For anyone wondering where to find these on Fjordur, theres some spawns near the green obelisk in the red woods and around the lake. I hope this helps!
It is not friendly... Do not stand by it after feeding it...
Make a 4by2 little wood or stone house (suggested argy to pick up and put in)and trap it in there every 30-50seconds maby and soon it'll be yours
Easiest thing to do to take this dude is:
1. Get a few wooden signposts
2. Make a square or triangle with them. (Optional, but harder (skips step 3): do this while the 'pithecus is walking around)
3. Use argy to carry into signpost trap
4. Feed it
5. TAMED!!!
You can do cave stuff like getting artifact do i it’s worth it and you can get. More exp for killing them
Sooo I didn’t know it was passive tame and now, im on hour 2 of waiting🤣
1. Build a taming pen, 1 foundation 4 door frames
2. Get him in there. (Argi works well)
3. Feed him once.
4. Go do some other stuff (Food will drop now)
5. Come back and feed him crouching trough the door frame. He will not agro.
6. Enjoy your new best friend.
