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.

Remember to crouch near them and not get too close!

Ok to find it just look in the southeast part of the map (I play mobile so that map) then once you find one just crouch step behind it feed it then step back you need about 100 berries (preferably mejoberries) and once you’ve tamed it you can tame another then breed them but fail to feed the child via lack of kibble then breed them again and get a child then start super mutating them into giant mega beasts and reek havoc with a level 6000 mega monke and rule ark just to have it die to 3 gigas all attacking you while foraging for berries (somewhat based off of a true story)

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'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.

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

They take damage when spooked, go slow and approach from outside their line of sight. Don't get to close!

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

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.

Crouch down behind them feed them mejos them back up quickly. Do that over and over agian . Their hand fed DONT get violent

These monkeys are one of the easiest shoulder pets to get all you have to do is sneek up to them with berries or kibble in your hotbar and feed them and they have a special ability to throw poop at you enemy's and disable the sprint for a couple minutes while takeing damage.

It's good to have with you if you are get in attacked on foot or Dino it slows the Attacker if it hits them with poop it will help you out if you are a solo player

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

This thing is literally a poop machine

I feed him some dodo kibble and soothing balm and boom i name him ted

This has to be one of the best shoulder mounts (like as a normal shoulder mount not like a ferox that transforms) because of their poop throwing power enemy dinos and players usually have difficulty getting away and they also are great for raiding because they can unlock doors and probably won't be seen

WHY CAN’T THEY JUST TAKE RARE FLOWERS!!! Plants are what apes today have a diet on so please make them take my flowers
