You can ride them via piggy-back ride and they can throw over walls that aren't Dino doors or two+ walls high. If you have them throw you, be prepared for fall damage.
Gigantopithecus

What ARK players use the Gigantopithecus for, and how to get the most out of it in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
These are basically brontos in a raptor sized package
Ummm... it doesn’t say this but it can collect meat and hide with the fiber collection button just saying.
this monkey only use is to enter the mesh to store all your loot on any map lol op pvp tame
Can be set to auto farm fiber by themselves
I recommend using parachutes when launching yourself as if you dont you will get injured.
LT: it throws you
RT: attack with one or both arms, hold RT to consistently use both arms
Click Right Joystick to harvest
I found out they can throw you the hard way I got thrown off a cliff got to the spot whistled to come and he came jumping down like donkey kong
The gather button damages stone structures even though ark says it doesn’t. Thank me later
Put these on wander and they will gather tons of fiber for you.
On mobile, you can use weapons while riding the gigan. Pretty cool
What's crazy when ever there is a dangerous Dino the Gigantopithecus could throw you to safety immediately
Gigantopithecus is great at gathering fiber when set to wander and has a good decent damage the gigantopithecus is also ridden at all times can be found on redwoods walking around just read it hope it helps :p
These do collect fiber on mobile!!!!! Just put them on wondering outside of you base!!
You don’t need a saddle needed
These guys are like hulk tame a high level one and you are ready to kill even a t rex or spino I had one named 'monke' he died cnidaria rip monke lvl 164
:-|Ó╭╮Ò
Amazing fiber harvester, mine’s just a level 15, left it on wander for a while and boomm 2k worth
Don’t have to manual collect now
I play on xbox and they can throw me far so i.
Tame one put it on mountain make parachute and made it throw me where you want to go.
You might want something in a cryopod that you can use if you need it
Can these guys still hold shoulder pets? If so what is it on ps4
So people say you have to push R3(on ps4 IDK what it is on other platforms) to pick up shoulder mounts but you actually have to push L1 and R3 together to pick up shoulder mounts
