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

Use your squat button on this to gather massive amounts of fiber better than sickle or therizeno and dire bear .

This is a passive tame pit the food in the last slot of your hot bar and then press the button it says to to feed it and you have a fiber maniac

Like do people…

Would be awesome if Gigantopithecus could ride two-seated mounts with you, even if just for us singleplayers to feel like we have company!

Possibly the most useful creature to go caving with as his small size but large health and damage allows him to withstand onycs,spiders and scorpions haven't encountered a arthurplura yet so not sure how effective he is against it

On mobile, you can actually harvest fiber with them. Just get off of your ape in a bush and they will squat down and gather a good amount of fiber.

To the people saying that these things should be able to wield swords:

Imagine being on a pvp server, and then someone with a fully imprinted and mutated big monke with 1.5K% melee shows up and pulls out an ascendent sword that does 400 base damage...

Sounds pretty balanced…

These guys SHOULD work similar to a companion in other games. It should be able to wield a sword along with the ability to wear more than just a helmet. Having a tame that acts as a warrior would be very cool for battle in ARK.

You can ride these things shoulders on Mobile. They throw you off too when you want to dismount. It’s like chunking a dodo except you’re the dodo

They don't require a saddle to ride and instead equip a helm where the saddle slot would be. Thus allowing very high armor, much higher than saddles.

So I get off joe ( my gigantopithicus lv 246 ) to mine some stone, and then I turn around to see joe battling a lv 451 bronto... flippin legend. He won.

The person who lost Sheila I want you to know that if you look in your tames and find her name you can ask for it then it will teleport to you and if it doesn’t Shiela has met the ark gods

They should be able to do torpor damage because they are punching stuff with their massive fists

108 points6 years oldReport

even if these guys didn't have utility, they are monkes and that's enough
