What are tips for megapithecus? Tips and strategies for megapithecus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
You can’t bring gigas into boss fights. Or cryropod them you can’t uncryro dinos the the guardian sanctuary.
I tried fighting gamma with a velo once... Lets say my velo went to a better place. Rip command spines
Not sure how well they’re gonna work with other bosses as I did megapithecus before broodmother, and ofc this is very reliant on what map you’re on but I did it with 19 shadowmanes and a pig (my dumb self had too many manes and my yuty got left behind) and it was a breeze. Shadowmanes get a pack buff and thornmail poison, they’re amazing in fights. Possibly better than rexes?
If you are dumb enough to force tame one of these, you deserve to get stuck
Ever boss on this should have a photo
To kill him safely you need an Assault Rifle/Pumpa Shotgun/Tech Rifle to be able to maintain your distance when shooting. How to maintain distance is quite easy, you only need to run from one corner of the arena to another and avoid stone throwing attacks.
conclusion: position your character in the corner of the arena while shooting if he is close then run to the other corner of the arena then do this repeatedly
On mobile kill it with a op compound bow and a op pump action shotgun.....
Megapitthecus When being gamma has half the health of the
Broodmother gamma.
Hey guys just to pop in on the community and see how they are doig . Im calvin and I have used a mod in order to tame this beast. Btw the version on mobile is the Megapithecus pestis which is much bigger in comparison to the normal Megapithecus on pc.
Avergae facts
The pestis height is as same as the gigs with only a few cm(maybe 2 or 3 cm)difference.
It has 200k health but with an optional golden chain you can get 220k health-the same as a standard broodgenetrix on mobile
Primary attack is where it slams the ground with its huge fists doing 400.
Secondary attack is where it throws rocks bigger than a carbonemys and trike combined. It differs from 500 damage standard to maybe 750 or more depending on how many rocks it throws. Mine does 2000 because in many cases it has thrown 4 rocks which is incredible.
Hope this helped and try taming one with cheats
Only for educational purposes
So I know people would want to tame it Wich you can by force tame but you will be stuck but you can tame it on the map like not in the boss area but you have to do it with mods
You know right that giga=megax1000. So use gigantopethicus! (I’m serious they actually work effectively)
the only way to tame this monster is by opening the adim command and typing in forcetame
Really easy boss, I recommend as your first boss fight if you haven't done a boss yet, stay mounted, bring rexs, don't even need to be high level even on alpha. Good raptors can kill gamma. Rexs and yutys recommended.
I recently beat alpha brood mother so now I'm doing alpha monkey, is this easier or harder than brood mother?
17 good Rexes and a yuty will take down alpha with ease
