These are super underrated for early-mid game!
- Great plant based harvesting
- can use ziplines
- has an “emergency eject” that throws you far away from danger
- can use all helmets (like flak)
- can fire weapon on it while mounted

What ARK players use the Gigantopithecus for, and how to get the most out of it in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.

Very strong for starters. Can still be good for pros, set them on wandering for a lot of fibre
Who thinks we should get a tlc where it is much more like a giant quadruped orangutan. Maybe it would be able to climb and jump from tree to tree
This guy has a good and fast stamina, high jump and swift mobility, and a good amount of weight. Overall with passive tame he's very good ride i feel
On Xbox, left tab throws you (It's like a spear, the longer you hold down the harder it throws, but there is a max), the other special attack, what you would use for crouching, is what you use to pick up only fiber, and regular attack only picks up berries. It can sprint…

It can sprint, swim fast, and jump. Best of all it can wear hats. I equipped my hat with a cowboy hat skin, and it looks hilarious.
Stay near by gigantopithecus in center for terror bird protection very useful in redwoods
Am I the only one who just realized that you can farm meat, hide, organic polymer, keratin, and chitin with the "c" key?
These guys should be able to climb trees like some
People do and should wear full body armor and should be able to collect wood and thatch and stone with the right weapons
I plan to have a gorilla army that can breed give them flack/riot helmets name them bodyguard also set to aggressive and make them guard my base
Since you're probably wondering....If you have a Monkey throw you with a Pyromane on your shoulder, and transform it to riding mode from shoulder mounted right before you hit the ground you will take 0 fall damage.
Threw myself from the top of volcano on Island to test
If you have a Sinomacrops on your shoulder you can use the Gigantopithecus to launch yourself in the air and glide away
If you find one keep them around if you get attacked by someone or something they will kill the people who attack you even if there not tamed
Dad... is that you?? I’ve been trying to find you!!!
Put a tek helmet on this boi and you have harambe 3000
You can swing on zip-lines with these like ravagers. When you want to off the zipline it’s a bit tricky and took me a while to figure out how to actually get off without just dropping, you need to be moving (W on keyboard or joystick on console) and then press jump.
Good tame.
Solid damage, knockback, speed and stamina.
They deal heavy damage to armour so they have some utility in PvP.
They gather fiber really well, they can also use ziplines like ravagers and dinopithecus though last I checked on ASA it was bugged.

Ark's very own king Kong. You looking to cave dive, take this awesome tame with you. one or two should do, accompanied with a pack of dire wolf's, then your practically unstoppable. These tame has a knock back attack allowing you to throw in more hit than your nemesis and hey not to ignore their high damage and high hp, all this coupled with extra amor gotten from their helmet, They are basically waking bulwarks.
Try requesting Sheila
Give it time and she’ll teleport to you
It would be cool if they can shoulder mount mesopithecus
Good for base defence if you pump movement seed like 200% and put the rest into damage
