Tips & Strategies

What are tips for mesopithecus? Tips and strategies for mesopithecus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
These guys are legit pigeons I fed one and 30 more came.
You can place helmets on it too. I place my mining helmet on my monkey and use it as a source of light at my base. But you cannot see the light if the monkey is on your shoulder and your looking in first person. You can see the light in the orbital camera, While riding on another Dino in 3rd person, and when the monkey is on another persons sholder or on the ground. Hopes this comes in handy : )
I went looking out for a chalicotherium, came back with a mesopithicus, named it George, gave it a hide hat, now we can take on the world.
EASIEST WAY TO TAME ON MOBILE!
- Make pen or roofless structure
- Hop on a flying tame that can carry a meso
- Find meso
- Pick up meso
- Take the meso back to your base and drop it in pen
- Make dodo egg kibble
- Put kibble in hot bar
- Crouch and sneak into the pen
- Go behind it and feed it the kibble
- Then name your new monkey friend!
Up if you think this monkey should be in aberration.
When startled: DAH! OOO-OOO!
When killed(extremely high pitch): DAAH!
When Normal: OOO-HAH-HAH! HU-HU!
When Tamed (low pitch): OOO-HAH-HAH-HAH!
You know when you just got enough stuff and more to build an argy saddle? Then you see one of these guys and you're like: "Lemme just tame that monkey!" Then it sees you and it's like: Byeee! And you follow it and you're like: "Oh where did the monkey go?" Then an alpha T.Rex eats you. Please ^ if this has happened to you!
Try to practice with berries before wasting kibble
Turn around and walk backward about ten feet every time you feed it berries then turn back around and see which way it turns and then sneak around it, feed it berries,repeat EASY TAME (by the way remain crouched the whole time and have LOTS OF PATIENCE!!!)
Fun fact: the first mesopithecus i saw was eaten by a baryonix... all that aside
these little guys arent that hard to tame
just crouch andget behind one feed it berries and boom!
Lil monke
FYI: Dont hurt the monkeys
Give berries.
Wait a bit.
Repeat.
Boom. You got a poop flinging cannon
Mobile Taming: Easy! Just don’t get to close! It’s probably one of the easiest things to tame! Mejoberries do great, but if you have Dodo kibble, then use that. They are handfed, so don’t get violent!
Domesticación móvil: fácil! No te acerques demasiado! Es probablemente una de las domar! Las mejoberries son excelentes, pero si tienes croquetas Dodo, úsalas. Están alimentados a Mano, así que no te pongas violento!
There is a bug while taming these guys. Sometimes after the first one or two berries, it’s hunger will stop going down, and it’s health will start draining. If this happens the tame is a lost cause. My theory is that somehow the coding for the hunger and health stats got mixed up and the health drains instead of hunger. Hope this helps to not waste your time!
I just tested this, but if you set them on wandering and throw them at a patch of bushes/bamboo shoots or whatever, they can actually gather a decent quantity of berries and seeds. Just be sure to clean their inventory so they can continue and then pick them up and throw them at a new patch of shrubs! Simple as that! Hopefully people find this useful
