Tips & Strategies
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
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.
They take damage when spooked, go slow and approach from outside their line of sight. Don't get to close!
If attacked they will lose all their taming progress. I found that out the hard way. I was taming a level 14 at 80% progress, then a dilo spit on it
You can find some around the green obelisk, i found myself a level 130 once
Don’t. Don’t attack MonKe. He be fren. Me and MoNkE play poker. MonKe fren.
I found three by the green obelisk
MINE JUST DIED. what a bug 😮💨 tried taming a level 120 and the health dropped instead of its hunger.
It's it's very easy to catch in just polite way if you want it in single attempt get four thach walls cover it or trap bola it feed kibble
Mesopithicus can flee without her pack in pack mesopithicus is passive but herting them they attack with her pack
Dude, these things are FRAGILE when in the wild. I literally found a female one to tame, but a Dilophosaurus had just then decided that she would make a tasty snack, so I stood my ground and rushed past the monkey, feeding her a mejoberry as I did so, and saved her at the same time by distracting the Dilophosaurus by fighting and killing it (even when I knocked it unconscious I killed it as I gave that thing’s sorry flank no mercy). She did get a bit startled by the commotion of the fight and ran away, but because I ran in the opposite direction while fighting the Dilophosaurus, she quickly lost sight of us just as quickly as she had obtained it. Taming her right now. #SaveTheMonkeys #SaveTheMesopithecus
You do not knock them out to tame them just simply crouch behind them and feed them berries till they are tamed if u run to them they will run away
I tamed 37 of these with mejoberries. No crouching or crawling or even ghillie. Just simply feed ONE dodo kibble or be very careful and approach from behind. They are an adorable tame, and can equip hats!
If you get too close or bump into a Mesopithicus while taming, it runs away. It will usually stop running once it loses sight of you and you can try to tame it again.
