What are tips for gigantopithecus? Tips and strategies for gigantopithecus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
When you spot a lvl 150, don't say in chat "lvl 150 Giga spotted". I've learned this lesson when my entire base was wiped.
These beautiful Beast can gather Fiber Super Great, not to mention they can also gather tatch somewhat decent. they can also pick up shoulder pets and carry them on their shoulder, which can be very useful with a jerboa. Also when it comes to raiding and let’s say the enemy has a bad roof but strong walls or no roof at all, it can throw you pretty far and you can get in and break the roof. or if your on aberration they can grab onto zip lines. and if your ever in a situation were your dying and it’s about to die you can make it throw you far to keep you from dying but your tame most like will die and that is all i can tell you.
Monke. Possibly monke.
Maybe monke.
How to tame: Monke. Mobile Edition
1. You need a trap (2x2 1 high) for it to not get clapped by wandering angry bois around the Redwoods, make sure it's at least wood for the next step, if you are let's say... polymerless, you can do a stone trap instead, NOTE: you also need an argy for this to work as well... and titanoboa kibble
2. Get ghille, the monke is very confrontational so make sure you do not anger him it is recommended, even if you have a stone trap
3. Find da monke, he's found in da redwood forest and found either wandering in the middle of nowhere, or squaring up against many Terror Birds (he will most likely die) so scoop it up before it gets ambushed, also beware of Purlovias, there the moles of Thylacoleo
3.5: Kibble making, after the monke is in da trap, I highly recommend Titanoboa Kibble since it only takes Longrass and jerky, which is easy to get and titanoboa egg can be found in Hunter cave (middle south cave in the canyon) and in the swamp leading to the redwoods as well, the eggs are very easy to spot as they are ALL WHITE in the dark grey stone and murky green in the biomes, so that's easy
4: Taming, for some reason the monke doesn't get hungry for so long you could've tamed a 150 female Diplo before its hungry, but moving along, after taming your beloved monkey, what now?
5. Use: now, there's 2 special abilities, replacing the jump action with Throw, don't get confused unless you want to noobishly die from fall damage, throwing is pretty self explanatory but you cannot aim you shot the monkey just throws you. And there is Two attack modes like the Pulmonoscorpius, which is Backhand and Slam, they do the same damage but Backhand is faster. Note: Follow whistle works ish for a couple seconds and then stop working for some reason)
6; Wandering: sometimes there's a bug (or feature) where even if you turn off their free will they will still go to the nearest bush and start harvesting fiber. Yes. You heard me. FIBER, but if you try to do it while mounted you only get berries but if you position yourself under a bush it will squat down and gather a good amount of fiber and if there's two bushes in reach it will collect 2, but it's maximum amount of bushes it can harvest in one squatting is 2 before it has to squat down again
Weird thing: Humans and Mesopithecus both drop human feces but not Gigantopithecus for some reason :/
~I have rambled enough, time to go! CPG
How to tame a gigantopithecus:
Find one (there in the redwoods)
Get behind it and feed it mejoberrys dont get too close tho:
Hope this was a helpful tip
Use titanboa kibble.
It loves that.
Guys, if you are in single player and on mobile you can crouch and the do not get agro. Hope it helps
I reckon they should add a much bigger version of this because this just looks dull in my opinion, I mean its strong but not in comparison to other creatures like the Carno and Allosaurus. The important part if they add a bigger ape is that its tameable.
Up = Agree
Down = Disagree
Great for fiber and it looks like my daddy
During the Christmas event… DONT use the gene scanner to find one. It takes you straight to their mean cousin or Horrible big brother who will one or two shot you
Description:
Wild
Gigantopithecus Fibrarator is content to spend it’s days wandering the Redwood Forests. You’d think they’d be more aggressive and alert due to the high amounts of danger within their typical environment, which is the one reason I don’t understand their peaceful nature.
Even despite this, Gigantopithecus Fibrarator is not bothered if another wild animal accidentally physically bumps into it, and is happy to lap up food from survivors, mostly the many berries that populate the island. However, Gigantopithecus Fibrarator becomes seriously enraged whenever physically bumped into by said survivors, causing it to attack and give chase until it either kills them or loses sight of them.
Domesticated
Gigantopithecus Fibrarator, once tamed, is an excellent bodyguard and companion. It’s gathering capabilities are superb, and can help master in dangerous situations. A certain tribe worships them for these qualities. I personally refer to them as “Ape Lovers”.
Where is red wood!!!!!!!!? Where is he/sheeeee
Despite what the commercials show, it doesn't eat plain jerky.
This monkey is good for starter cave with his speed and power i got 1125% damage with full imprint
They like it when you force purple berries up their butts but hate it if you touch them, seems backwards to me.
