1 build a 4 by 4 foundation wood or stone the put the walls.
2 find a gigantopithecus
3 carry it with an argy
4 drop it in the box that you made
5 make 1 roof and place it anywhere outside the box
6 feed it
And thats how you tame a gigantopithecus with ease.
Tamed 2 ( lvl 125 and lvl 90 ) did some upgrading mostly to health and melee. Turned my back to cook some meat. Hear scary music, see lvl 130 Rex's corps just flying over my head.
I coloured mine green, named it shreak thèn dropped him in the swamp
From experience, fly with argie and drop them in a box and then take them. Passive tame btw. Mine kept getting attacked by terror birds and the tame bar would reset.
⤴️ so others morons like me will know.
Use gillie armor!
No gille armor all you need to do is crouch behind it and shove berries up its butt...I'm not kidding
They don't have this listed on here I don't know why, but they collect 2 x more of plant x seeds than than any anamal I have found.
Just stay behind it crouching and shove berries up it’s ass
Make sure to put shoulder animal on passive so if it agro your animal doesn’t restart the taming process by hitting it. I had it at 99% then it agro so I flew out of range and came back and when I went to feed last berry my otter was still pissed off and hit it. 99% to 0 and I’m not lying it was literally 99. FAAAAAHH
Easy to tame, just sneak and bring one soothing balm and berries but i prefer mejoberries. If your looking for one of these go to the redwood forests and you might find one just search for it, but becareful the terror birds might attack you or purlovias the sneaky rat.
Dating is the best way to tame these. The appropriate dress for the occasion is a full suit of Ghille Armor. Pick your ape date up with a Quetz, drop in a taming pen, and hand-feed Mejo Berries. He/she will love you for it!
Do not knock out. Crouch and feed, continue to do this using mejoberries. Specifically mejoberries and I also got this tip by a dude here. Mine got killed even I didn’t fully tame and fought a alpha
If you want to tame one of these just crouch and shove them berries in its a$s. Yes that's all you need to do. Thats my first post so may i please get some ups ?
Like Basilos, there is a long time between the first and second passive feeds. Its food has to drop over 1000 before the second feed prompt comes up (Dex timer isn't always reliable).
Do not try to knock out these guys there a passive tame so in other words put berrys in your last slot I your hot bar and keep your distance and leave about 2-3 minutia beer seen each visit to it
Use Mejos (as usual) just crouch and slowly walk toward and feed but DO NOT TOUCH and always crouch just be careful
Tickle the nipple with berries
their range means as long as you crouch to feed them they will never aggro i have try it and itworks no guillie needed
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.
