Tips & Strategies
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
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.
Give berries.
Wait a bit.
Repeat.
Boom. You got a poop flinging cannon
Can find them in the beaches! You can not knock them out. You need to follow behind it and feed it kibble or berrys
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..
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!
