What is a mesopithecus used for? mesopithecus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
The mesopithecus is a herbivore and a passive tame.
•they can open enemy doors if you through them though a window.
•they can throw poo which damages slows and doesn’t allow the target to heal. (i don’t renner the time)
•I think it reduces the wait of some things like eggs but i don’t remember.
overall mesopithecus is a good pvp and pve pet.
Tame a 135+ and you have a great companion. He/She can slow down attackers when on your shoulder by throwing poop at them (even alphas and brontos), collect berries when on wander and makes a surprisingly good guard dog in bases. I get mine to 1k health then pump melee. I usually get 400% minimum, that's 40 damage on a small, fast, pooping flinging creature. It'll rek wanna be intruders in your base, especially I'd you put a good helmet on it for armour.
if they hit an oncoming predator with a piece of poop, the predator will lose a lot of movement speed, its health will start getting drained, and its torpor will rise. you can use this to run away from a predator, defeat it, or just beat something up with it for your amusement.
Their ability to throw poop is actually really good for taming. I’ve knocked out high lvl trikes and carnos by just charging with my pachy and then running away to set up another charge. The monkey makes it so whatever you’re trying to tame can barely even move at you. It even completely eliminates a trike’s ability to charge at you. These are definitely good tames. Just make sure your monkey doesn’t hit the tame an extra time when it’s already knocked out, it’ll sabotage the taming effectiveness.
Tame one of them now and jack the hp and damage
I got jumped by 5 troodons once, so it was safe to say I was passed out slowly dying
My armor was breaking
And I look around because I hear fighting
And my lil buddy was beating the ever loving crap (and throwing it) out of them, he barely took any DMG and murdered all of them in 1 or 2 hits
He is now so jacked on damage he can genuinely 1v1 a lvl 23 trike and win
Get one of these little goobers, they will be your bff's
Of course just in the game, the Mesopithecus is a valuable pet whether pro or not. It will throw feces at your enemies and can run very fast. It can basically be an automated turret on your shoulder. The feces poison the enemy and rapidly bring down their health and to add to it it also disables their ability to sprint and see correctly. What I have said so far mostly applies to single player so I will now go in to multiplayer. The Mesopithecus will help pick locks, break and enter, ambush, capture, kill, tame, and gathering. The Mesopithecus can do a high variety of things and be very fun to keep around. They are highly social and defecate excessively, probably even more with tintoberries, which both helps with getting more Mesopithecus and helping with farms ( Berries and Vegetable farms) both other than that their feces only litter the area. Of course you can eat them use them for fertilizer use them in recipes and all that. And , finally, the Mesopithecus is great for prankin.-Rosy
