Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a gigantopithecus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a gigantopithecus.
Gile optional just walk to it or crouch have 100 berries at all times and southing balm if you want it faster
As long as you don't bump into them you can just follow them around feeding them berries. I took a good bow with me to clear out any hostiles around the area but it was a pretty easy tame.
If you have a high enough lvl argy pick him up from the redwoods and take to your base, he will attack but when you get to your base build a stone 1by 1 with door frames then plonk him in it, go far enough away so that he loses agro then sneak up behind him crawl and just feed him berries without having to move anywhere
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.
Do this thing eat carrot or what is the most effectiveness crop to tame it (sorry if my grammar was bad)
Sad thing is the first time I saw it it was getting attacked by a dire bear then he had low health sees me then kills me today I found a another one but was killed by terror birds and crocodile and I want to tame one😢
Build a taming pen. Walls should be doorframes. I suggest 2x6 and two high. Put a hatch frame as the ceiling. Lie down near the whole on the hatch frame ceiling and feed him as needed. Boring, but efficient. I use my normal taming pen and just add the other walls as he walks around, to box him in on one foundation. Then, I remove the walls when done.
If you find one you have to sneak up behind and feed it berrys and backup far away so it dont get mad at you.
If you're able to craft a tent, place one down on top of him trapping him inside. He'll just stand there not moving the whole time.
Unsure why it doesn't have Argentavis on the list but you can pick them up with argies
Mine got stuck in a glitched spot in the redwoods
From my experience grab it with an army and put it in a box then shuve berries up its ass
I've found him every time walking along the beach of the redwood biome. What was mentioned earlier works, build a stone trap. One foundation 4 door frames get him to chase you in then seal it. A random sabertooth tiger showed up during my tame attacked him and reset my timer, so beware.
Just crouch behind it and start shoving berries up its butt
Also these things are like the small monkeys but on steroids
For starters/ you can’t tame a Bigfoot if you knock it out you have to tap the berries and go close to it keep on reapeing this until it’s tamed up
If your planning to tame one here is what you will need to do, first get at least 8 titanaboa egg kibble. By means of chef station or otherwise, next get to the redwoods and find one. And kill every single carnivore in the area around the gigantopithicus. Then sneak up behind it crouching and feed it the kibble. repeat. Bam you got a big foot!
Can tame them with MEJOBERRIES but be careful of terror birds in redwood
Just stay behinds them don’t let them near your tames and don’t touch them just let them eat if you do well your dead...
By brushing up against this big guy while taming will make him angry and will badly affect taming rate.
