Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a gigantopithecus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a gigantopithecus.
I found that knocking it out the build a wall of window frames round it is an easy way to tame it as it can't wander off.
Use full ghillie armour n these things barely notice ya there which makes em much easier to tame
Build. Around. It.
My Gigantopithecus luv 150 was at 99.9% tamed. Terror bird charged in and made it be at 0%. I’m pissed.
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.
It literally only took me an hour to tame a level 145 with only 50 mejoberries.
1. Gather berries and put the berries in your last slot
2. Kneel down and walk up to one of them and feed it the berries
3. Now you just follow it around while kneeling down and feeding it berries whenever it's hungry
4. Congratulations you tamed one.
Since they're commonly found in the red wood forest, I recommend only taming one if you're close to water as if you get attacked by something you can jump into the water to get away. Then when you think it's safe just go find your monkey and go back to following/feeding it.
“Taming non violent” Yeah right.
Easy to tame if you can find them, they’re usually on the shore of the redwood or around/to the north of the pond on the east side of the redwoods. You can drop it into a trap that’s one high and then has ceilings around to feed it or anger it and trap it inbetween three Dino gates and with two doors. They’re strong and can hit into the thousands if you breed them well
monke likes snek eggos
idk why ark did it
THEY ARE FOUND IN RED WOOD,! And GHILLE
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
Absolutely 0 preparation needed. Just sneak up on it and feed it.
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 gigantopithigas, 1. Find monkey, 2. Get berries/Titanboa kibble, 3. Feed monkey food, 4. Call it Big Foot .
I highly recommend taming these things don’t need a saddle so they’re perfect for low level taming
(On mobile swipe up for them to throw you)
It’s a passive tame feed berries but I recommend some kibble because it’ll take forever otherwise
Tamed my first Giganto by crawling naked with an otter around my neck.
Monke. Possibly monke.
Maybe monke.
Just place a foundation then place a wall with a hatchframe on the top and place 4 walls at the top of the hatchframe. Then take the gigantopithecus with an argy and drop it on top of the hatchfame. Now just go under the hatchframe, look up and tame it. It newer would be angry on you if you stand under him
Easy to tame,even without ghillie suit.Just sit under their butt and when theyre hungry feed it mejoberries.Theyre so blind with ghillie suit I came face to face with one in 1 meter and it ignored me
Build a small pen with a foundation a doorway and 2 walls then get him to chase you into the foundation escape through the doorway and place the last wall behind him then add 4 more walls above then a hatch frame at the top then feed him from above
Good luck finding titanboa kibble!
