Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a mesopithecus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a mesopithecus.
This animal is a passive that means don’t knock it out just feed it so you have to crouch and then put some berrys in your inventory and then feed it
YOU DO NOT NEED A GHILLIE SUIT. It’s perfectly possible to tame them if you do that army crawl thing aka “Prone” and trail them. WARNING: they WILL NOT EAT on their own while you’re taming them, and they CAN starve! Try to stay close as possible and don’t give up half way if you intend to try again; it’s going to starve if you aren’t vigilant
To make taming a bit easier, wear ghillie and/or pick up and put in safe enclosed space :)
Youput it on wander in someones base it unlocks the doors RIP windows
This thing is apparently super tough because my friend Caleb got killed by this thing throwing poop at him.
Very easy to tame as long as you stay crouching and walk behind it, don't try to put it in a taming pen because it will just keep getting spooked
Pick it up with bird have tribe feed it dodo kib of mejo
Amazing early level tame. It's a backpack, so you can fill it's inventory and pick it up and you'll only be carrying half the weight. They unlock doors if you can manage to throw it thru a windo on someone's house. They also collect berries on their own if you let them wander. Finally, they are the only Dino I have found that if you have a crowd wandering your base, will breed and survive all on its own without your help. Babies are born on wander, and since they collect berries while wandering you can come back to a base flooded with claimable monkey babies if you aren't careful lol
If your a beginner at the game you probably haven’t done the megaparrana mission to get some soothing balm once you get it or if you just craft soothing balm it will only take about two mejoberries to do the job.
Best tame flings poo and arrows and can wear hats as well
About mesopithecus: mesopithecuses will throw poop at enemies. They will run away from you if your close. They are shoulder mounts I have always wanted, I have also seen many in multiplayer mode.
Before any of you whine about me telling you lies, I have tested this before myself, so don’t you go calling me a liar when you don’t know what you’re talking about.
Anyways, don’t listen to what the other people say. You can crouch directly in front of them where they can see you and you’ll be fine taming them. Just continue to walk backwards whenever it moves toward you and keep about an arms length between you, otherwise your soon-to-be pet monkey will get scared and run away. Otherwise, it works just as fine as sneaking up from behind.
Easy way to tame this guy :
Go to any cave, with scorpi, and tame one (whatever the level of the scorpio)
Once you can ride the scorpion, tamed within the cave, you can feed the little monkey, without he ever noticed you
Just, avoid to glitch it within the claws, because it would just disappear
Do not follow to close, it will die!!!
Hey guys I have one trapped in a small pen but it keeps getting spooked so plz help I really want one so I can name him capn crunch
Make sure you have gillie armor
If u have a flyer (preferably a ptera) to pick up the monkey put your kibble or berries look behind u make sure u can reach it then it's an easy tame since it will not get spooked.
I want one but I can’t
tHIS Is noT A tIp
Ignore all the silly run away tactics for taming, Gillie suit crouched and follow from behind you'll be able to stand right behind it the whole tame.
However if it comes to a complete stop it will sometimes turn directions so be prepared to move with it and until your comfortable with it alittle space never hurts.
Jumping,falling,running, walking full speed around it risk it running away but crouched your speed is consistent you'll be fine.
