Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a mesopithecus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a mesopithecus.
Trust me, there poop will save your life, and on pvp they can unlock doors during raids
They take damage when spooked, go slow and approach from outside their line of sight. Don't get to close!
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.
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!
So I was trying to tame one of these with Mejoberries and for some reason his health was depleting and he ended up dying before I could tame him. I think he was allergic to Mejoberries
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.
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)
Remember to crouch near them and not get too close!
You can no longer Tame them the old fashion way. I don’t know what the new way is but you can’t Creep up behind them and feed little bit little.
If you want to tame a mesopithecus you need to sneak behind it and to berries without scaring it by getting to close
Sneak up to it when you see it pull out any kibble
or anything else that I would eat and then tame it passively
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
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
Crouch down behind them feed them mejos them back up quickly. Do that over and over agian . Their hand fed DONT get violent
MINE JUST DIED. what a bug 😮💨 tried taming a level 120 and the health dropped instead of its hunger.
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.
Only thing you need you know is do not knock it out like me😂
To tame one crouch up to it and feed it mejoberries I think rare flowers and rare mushroom can work it is a passive tame so u don't knock it out it is a shoulder mount 😉 very funny it uses poop to slow dinos down
I hope that's enough for now and apparently u can knock it out and feed it dodo kibble in ark mobile survival evolved I am not sure if it works for other types of ark
Can only unlock wood or thatch doors and does not work on pve servers
Wish tips would consist of where to find them, or info itself or even a map marking, instead of “wow what a great audience” 😑
