Tips & Strategies

What are tips for megapithecus? Tips and strategies for megapithecus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
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.
Took 10 kentros, 6 allos, a yuty and a daeadon to fight the monke and I didn't do any crazy breeding or mutation stuff to the tames. Allos were 10k-15k hp with over 400% atk, kentros 14k-20k hp with over 300% atk and we were easily winning... then I died cuz I didn't bring fur armor to the fight 🤦 overlooked how cold the arena is haha
Half the health of the broodmother. I.e. it dies twice as fast. Don’t overthink it. 19 rexes and a yuty. Level the rexes as you should and you’ll be completely fine.
Don’t get hit by the rock on alpha 😭
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
For those who are struggling with dossier popping-out (ASA, PS5). When almost dead, click all tames on passive, finish it off with your dino, when defeated do not harvest it’s corpse, ride off your tame and boom, your dossier is here for ya!
Ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun
Use a high some high level Velonasaurs
Just get a mount that has levels into nothing but damage and health and go ham on the bugger
A comprehensive guide on the big monke artifacts: i used a direwolf with 10k health and 700 melee but a far weaker creature will work just fine. For the water cave i used a basilo with 13k health and 500 melee i also brought 10 low level sharks but you wont need as many if you have higher levels. For the pack cave the hardest part is getting there other wise its smooth sailing. Bring a 10 grapples a ranged weapon( for aggroing creatures) some med brews a shot gun some decent armor and a creature(duh). Im just gonna recommend a tutorial on navigating the caves but when you get to the grapple section dont overthink it is really easy. For the devourer just bring a ranged weapon and med brews and a creature. Its on carno island so just keep an eye out for any alphas that might agro other wise just run in the cave swim in the little lake (theres nothing in there) if you have cryos throw your creature out just before you surface and run down the path jump at any jumping parts and grab the artifact. For the water cave just use a tutorial. Its much easier done then said. If this helped you hit the good button to help others out.
Uhhhh guys idk about this creature but i just read that u can forcetame it and my opinion is
What if after u tamed it u have to suicide then just recall him hope it works guys
Use 1 Velo and one stego 5-10k. Pull agro with stego and run with your velo to the cliff. Ha can't hit u there. Than spray him to dead. Try it first at Gamma!
Just bring a 25k health Rex and a velo with high melee and it easy this is for easy monkey
Bring an assault rifle, a fabricated sniper rifle, pump action shotgun, flak or riot gear. High-leveled tames and hope.
only one way to tame force tame
A big fat one.
Despite being regarded as the second guardian of the Island, this big monke is commonly regarded to be weaker then the broodmother, still don’t underestimate this big monke he will squish you like a bug. Best make sure you are riding on a tames creature so they take damage and not you
Me and my tribe defeated the beta and gamma with 1 high level velonisaur. It lasted about 5-10 mins
Its do more damage than lysrix but has not her health. Take HIM down with 19 rexes and a Yuti. Dont mount them!
My tip if you wanna beat it whit spino on mobile get about 30 spinos because it ain't a trex and also am playing easy + causal mode good luck to you I can't find a yutirannus anywhere
