Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a gigantopithecus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a gigantopithecus.
Remember the messin w Sasquatch commercials? Best way to tame is to play tag with it from behind and feed it the purple berries
This monkey is good for starter cave with his speed and power i got 1125% damage with full imprint
Just use 2 large billboards then boom but it might take a bit of time to get it trapped
Good luck finding titanboa kibble!
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
Feed it a berry. Then wait like 5-7 minutes and then you can spam feed it a few times. Rinse and repeat. This way you don’t need to follow its butt around for an hour
Use titanboa kibble.
It loves that.
Best way to tame this creature is to give it soothing bond and then feed it purple berries he will only need to eat 3 or 4 then bam it’s tamed and now Bigfoot your friend
It is not friendly... Do not stand by it after feeding it...
Just shove some berries up its a$$
Basically you will find them in redwoods they are a passive tame so crouch and feed it berries till u tame em I'm not sure if u can ride them or not if yes u won't need a saddle
Great for fiber and it looks like my daddy
Unlike other passive tames, you cannot knockout-tame it because it doesn’t let you put food in its inventory
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
Despite what the commercials show, it doesn't eat plain jerky.
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😭😭
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!!!
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.
They like it when you force purple berries up their butts but hate it if you touch them, seems backwards to me.
