Encountering Tips
How do I kill a megapithecus? megapithecus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
This is just my opinion, but I feel it is much easier to get on your yutyrannus and try to bring the megapithecus to your tames instead of doing the opposite. The pit on the right of the bridge will instantly kill your Dino’s and you if you are not careful. I just find it easier. Up for more :)
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!
Instead of trash force tame tips why don’t I give you some useful info that you can put into practice.
On official smalltribes I went in with 3 rexes one yuty and a deinonychus. I failed. I didn’t fall down the hole or anything, I simply didn’t have enough firepower.
Forget rexes, unless you want them to tank the boss. The Dino you need for bosses is the deinonychus. As fake as it sounds you can beat it on official with even ONE deinonychus. The reason it can destroy the boss and basically any other boss is because they are the only Dino in the game that does bleed damage to bosses. Bring multiple deinonychus, have some hiding away from the action as a backup because if you bring one and it dies then you lose. I am going to be fighting it again but this time with a pack of deinonychus and 2 stegos (mateboosted) to tank while I do the killing. Search it up on YouTube, Rex’s aren’t the way anymore it’s deinonychus, those feathery raptors, on valguero and fjordur. Also you can easily get artifacts you need for gamma in crystal isles, you legit just need 3 artifacts and you are in. Make sure your deinonychus is a very high level and give it very good health and Stam if you like. Good luck boys.
Careful with having your REX’s falling off the cliff. I made this mistake and lost 18 lvl 350 Rex’s.
Before entering the arena take your creatures out of their cryopods (if you use them) because you can't use cryopods in the fight. I found this out the hard way and almost lost all of my boss fighting Dino's. Fortunately if you need to escape the fight once it's started you can leave the game and rejoin and it will place you and your tames at the obelisk (doesn't give summon items back).
Megapithecus is the monkey like boss on ark the island,the center and valgureo this is second easiest boss in the island
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.
If you are dumb enough to force tame one of these, you deserve to get stuck
You can’t bring gigas into boss fights. Or cryropod them you can’t uncryro dinos the the guardian sanctuary.
Ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun
Ever boss on this should have a photo
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.
Don’t forget your common sense me and my friends had everything and we were ready. Weapons creatures everything. Except fur gear. Yes we forgot the most important thing and we almost died luckily for us we had tek canteens so we switched them to hot and let our creatures distinct everything while we got hot water it helps helped but it almost wasent enough somehow we won
You know right that giga=megax1000. So use gigantopethicus! (I’m serious they actually work effectively)
I struggled to find exactly what would be needed to fight the Alpha so I decided to do an experiment run with tames I didn't really care about. I had 18 rexes, 100% imprinted and with 29k health and 1k melee without any levels. Leveled their melee to about 1.4k then got bored, I also didn't make sadles, cuz test run. I brought a yuti with 10k stam and a pig with 80k food. In the end we got the boss to about 1/5th health before being wiped out. Pig made literally no difference. And definitely do not do it without sadles. I'm gonna get 50k health and 2k melee on my rexes and try again, next time with sadles with 60 armor and no pig. Should be able to beat it with some casualties then
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.
17 good Rexes and a yuty will take down alpha with ease
I was the one who wrote the tip of forcetaming in arena causes you to be stuck, I'm so happy for the likes this is the highest amount of likes I've ever gotten!
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.
