Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a gigantopithecus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a gigantopithecus.
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 :/

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.
Great for fiber and it looks like my daddy
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.
Follow from behind to sneak mejoberries into it's hand, so it doesn't accidentally run into you, then tear your arm of and beat you to death with it.
i can’t find any fir some reason
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
Good luck finding titanboa kibble!
Just use mejo berries as its a passive tame and also don't lose it like i did with mine ( i still have to get another one ) i lost my ptera trying to get back so be careful
I encountered one of these guys a while back. I went up to it (with berries in last slot) and gave it to him. However, if you're too close for too long, they'll attack.
Basically, feed berries and run away to a nearby area where you can keep an eye on it.
BROOOO so I was taming one of these and I had 2 🐍 kibble each give like 40.1% so I recommend using that but anyways I had 90% taming done and my dumba*s stood up😭 but luckily she(it’s a female) didn’t notice me and then I was at 98 percent and this 🦍 literally walking in front of me also bumps into me without noticing. I got so lucky😭😭
1) Build a box in a safe place near your house
2) Have your argi carry it to the box
3) Run away for 30 seconds
4) Sneak up behind it and feed it MEJOBERRIES
5) Once its tamed you have a sasquatch at your place
Hope this was helpful! 🐵
Takes a while to tame but is worth it
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
Here is how I tamed mine
Things u need: mojoberries (a lot just in case) Tepejara with TEK or normal saddle
1. Go to redwoods
2.find ape
3. Eat a berry
4. Swoop down and tap PERFICTLY (so u not arrgo)
5. Repeat until tamed
Enjoy! Up if this helps
How the heck am I supposed to carry him with an argy if he won't stop hitting my argy
