Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a gigantopithecus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a gigantopithecus.
It is not friendly... Do not stand by it after feeding it...
For anyone wondering where to find these on Fjordur, theres some spawns near the green obelisk in the red woods and around the lake. I hope this helps!
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!!!
Sooo I didn’t know it was passive tame and now, im on hour 2 of waiting🤣
Can use cave Araneo to tame in Ark Mobile
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.
This guy is a passive tame and it attacks you if you get too close unless you get soothing balm and it likes berrys.
This is an incredibly op dino. Just bring a guily suit or you will die multiple times. And if you do bump Into it without a suit, just let it kill you don't damage it or it's taming will reset. Hope this helps!
Fun fact: never bump into them.

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
So the owner of sheila i know you know you have her but you want to know something you could have got her as soon as she ran away to fight go to your character click the requist and wait shell eventually be teloported to you and congrats ond finding her
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
Gile optional just walk to it or crouch have 100 berries at all times and southing balm if you want it faster
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
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
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.
Mine got stuck in a glitched spot in the redwoods
