Tips & Strategies

What are tips for mesopithecus? Tips and strategies for mesopithecus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
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!
Can find them in the beaches! You can not knock them out. You need to follow behind it and feed it kibble or berrys
Are mejoberries the best taming berries?
If you are going to tame these they eat berries (obviously cuz it’s a monkey)
but you need to crouch and every time you feed it you need to quickly turn around and walk away for a bit or the monkey will get scared and run away. Hope this helps
This guys poops name is human feces..
If you're in an area where they spawn and are having trouble locating one, start killing all other dinos in the same area, the game will eventually spawn your desired target.
I normally leave the area for a short time to allow new spawns, once you have killed everything off.
I would assume this will work for any Dino spawn you were looking for.
Really, their taming strategy is similar to their bigger counterparts, Gigantopithicus. All you have is: Step 1: Get a mejoberry plant, and get it to produce max berries. Step 2: Find a meso. They tend to hang around dangerous areas, so be careful. They enjoy hanging around beaches where there IS jungle behind. Step 3: Eliminate all danger in the area before starting. Step 4: Crouch and put the mejoberries in your hot bar. Now switch to the mejoberries. Step 5: Walk behind the meso, and feed it once. Walk backwards and see which way it turns. Whenever you feed it or it stops walking, walk backwards and see what direction it turns. Go behind it again. Step 5: Repeat step 4 until it's tamed. Step 6: Once it's tamed, if your base is really far away, put it on a rock, whistle stop, and go back home. Request your meso when you're there. If your base isn't that far away, and no danger is in your way, pick up your meso and whistle stop. Walk back home. Step 7: Name your meso, and I reccomend setting it on wander in your house. Step 8: Congrats! You tamed a meso! Tip: These guys drop human poop instead of small animal poop. 2nd Tip: They have an attack when they throw poop at creatures and/or people. Way to insult your friends and annoying creatures! Please ^ if this was helpful!
Trust me, there poop will save your life, and on pvp they can unlock doors during raids
If you startle it alot it will have a heart attack and die no matter how high the hp is
They take damage when spooked, go slow and approach from outside their line of sight. Don't get to close!
They're fun to have around, they unlock doors. I dunno, don't ask me, maybe they have a monkey wrench xD. Anyways they are good to have on your shoulder on neutral as they throw poop at enemies when you are hit, which slows them down. Good for taming things like trikes, just keep whistling neutral, passive so they don't absolutely hammer the thing your trying to tame
These little monkeys are only passive, not knockout. They only way to tame is to put food ( mejoberries are the best) in your last slot in your hotbar, and feed it whenever it gets hungry. The process can take long, but they make one of the best shoulder tames.
You can find some around the green obelisk, i found myself a level 130 once
