Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a mesopithecus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a mesopithecus.
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
First i was wakling and ih there's a mesopithicus he could feed some berries but he looks annoying but he's gone
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!
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.
Crouch down behind them feed them mejos them back up quickly. Do that over and over agian . Their hand fed DONT get violent
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.
They can throw their poop and slow enemies, do little damage and do torpor
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
Didnt have gili on just used pron and cralwed next to him every time he got hungry just remember to crawl behind after u feed him if he stops and snifs that means hes gona run if he dosent see u he will notice your smell if u get close to him
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
To tame a monkey you need to make a trap so it doesn't escape have meoberrys or kibble but wear a ghillie suit and it wont be spooked. I did this and it worked but I would back up just in case.
A few minutes ago I tried to tame a monkey ( I know that monkey is not what it is called but I call it that because it’s way easier to spell)and I knocked the monkey unconscious but then I realized it’s a passive tame so I waited forever but when it woke up I tried to feed it but it ran away so I basically waisted 30 minutes waiting for a monkey to wake up just to escape me
Once you tame it you can give it a helmet and on helmet i gave a skin of witch hat🤣
Can only unlock wood or thatch doors and does not work on pve servers
To tame when you are high level get the ghille suit and you will be able to walk next to it without it running away.
They can wear hats, it looks very cute
