How ARK players tame and knock out the Mesopithecus: what to feed it, what to knock it out with, and how to keep it safe.

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…

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!

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…

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

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

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

Can only unlock wood or thatch doors and does not work on pve servers

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.

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.

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…

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…

Make sure they don't run into water as they often do and drown, and gillie suits are very useful as they will become much harder to scare away
