How do I kill a megapithecus? megapithecus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
Make sure that you move your Rexs or creatures into the trees when you get teleported into the arena. This is to prevent your tames from falling into the hole in the arena, because if they fall they just die, and you lose the saddles and everything. Then you can go up on your yuty or whatever you are riding and you lead the Megapithicus to your tames, then let them go ham on the monkey. The Megapithicus is a glass cannon and anything g with a good saddle and a high health stat can easily destroy it. Just make sure that nothing falls into the death hole and you’ll be fine to actually fight the boss.
To battle the megapithecus, I would suggest using a pack of allos,a yutyrannus, and a daeodon. The reason I pick these creatures are because that first of all, allos in a pack are dangerous, and one of them will be boosted as the alpha, and the other allos will also be stronger. Second, yutyrannus’s can scare away the minions the boss summons, and can make the creatures deal more damage. I also HIGHLY request a daeodon because they can heal your Dino’s, and itself durning battle, just make sure it has enough meat to last the battle. This method will work with any boss on the island DLC, not the overseer, but I used this method on the broodmother,megapithecus, and dragon, and it worked perfectly.
The megapithecus has two attacks a direct hit attack and a ranged Boulder attack. The boulder attack can and will kill you off your tame and I figured this out the hard way.so safest thing is to wistle attack Target hope off and have someone roar the Yuri good luck survivors.
This boss really isn’t that hard. All you need for yourself is mastercraft or ascendant assault rifle (journeyman will do, but Isn’t as good). Then, to deal with his minions,get 4-5 high level troodons, because they will absolutely WRECK the minions. As tanks, Rexes are, of course, nessecary. And to keep yourself out of trouble, get a fast but durable mount, like an allo or a really high level raptor. Hope this helps!
On mobile kill it with a op compound bow and a op pump action shotgun.....
run

Been said to be one of the easiest but yuti and rexs is all you will need. This boss on hard takes us about 4 mins. Surround and start chomping. Debuff with yuti plus buff your rexs.
Take a male and female gigantopithecus mackerel them breed them do the same again mackerel the babies breed them repeat about 8 times then take the final end product put it in a good hat and go kill this boss!

Use a tusk to get the brute artifact, get the pack on foot, and get the devoured with a deinonychus or thylacoleo or rock drake or sm. That is all the artifacts ez. Then take one yuty, two daedons, and all the rest deinonychus. Deinonychus gets pack buff and does bleeding damage, and receives extra energy from yuty roar (I think). You could also throw a pack of allos in Bc they also do bleeding damage and have pack buffs. I went in with a yuty, two pigs, a rex, and the rest deinonychus for the easiest one. I was nervous at first, but they had that thing down in a matter of seconds, I didn’t even have to do anything! We only lost one deinonychus, and everyone else got back safe, though I might mention that everyone was over level 100 except for the pigs who were both around level 60.
Use a high some high level Velonasaurs
If you really want to go overboard bring in max dino cap (20 is Max) with at least 17 Rex's and 3 yutyranus. This will obviously increase your chances of killing it, try to level your Rex's in health way more than melee considering you have the yutyranus buff already assisting you or you can go full melee for a glass cannon run. Be aware that this may have a huge risk to it though if you don't have more than MINUMUM 10K health ON HATCH you may or may not die depending on your saddles and or melee damage. Don't forget the rock throw can kill you off of your mount so spread yourselves out if you aren't going to dismount. Otherwise whistle attack target and only mount the yutyranus for the empowerment of the Rex's. The rest of you bring compound bows, snipers, fab pistols, rocket launchers etc. You will also need some focal chilli to increase your chances of survival. Good luck :)
You can’t bring gigas into boss fights. Or cryropod them you can’t uncryro dinos the the guardian sanctuary.
Don’t fight it on the bridge, it will knock you tamed off, lure it over to the place you spawn in.
17 good Rexes and a yuty will take down alpha with ease
Megapitthecus When being gamma has half the health of the
Broodmother gamma.
Broodmother gamma.
Careful with having your REX’s falling off the cliff. I made this mistake and lost 18 lvl 350 Rex’s.
The bolder doesn‘t kill the rider anymore. That makes the monkey the easiest boss, even easier than the Broodmother, although the monkey drops more Element and is intended to be harder.
Ever boss on this should have a photo
