Utility Tips

What is a mesopithecus used for? mesopithecus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
Utility Roles for Mesopithecus:
Pet. A cute monkey boi to travel with you on your shoulder or a friendly face to come home to. (level Health)
Shoulder Combatant. It flings poop at your enemies which slows them. Handy in a pinch but doesn't do that much damage. ( level Melee Damage)
Berry Gatherer. YEET this boi at bushes and he will collect berries. Not a lot of berries but something is better than nothing. (level Weight)
My name is ShinyChimchar01 and I've done similar tips on other creatures. Next tip is on Pteranodon
I just tested this, but if you set them on wandering and throw them at a patch of bushes/bamboo shoots or whatever, they can actually gather a decent quantity of berries and seeds. Just be sure to clean their inventory so they can continue and then pick them up and throw them at a new patch of shrubs! Simple as that! Hopefully people find this useful
