You can then feed it from above without having to worry about bumping into it or having it wander off, and wild carnivores will have a tougher time getting to it. If a flying mount is not available, fast ground mounts such as a Raptor are decent alternatives.Īnother method is to trap the Gigantopithecus in a 1x1 room with no roof or a hatchframe. It is best to bring a flying mount in case you need to run away, since they can easily be flown above the Gigantopithecus and it will give up the chase a lot quicker than on the ground. Or you can crouch up to it and feed it that way as it will not attack you when you're crouched. It is better to approach it from behind while it's standing still, since the creature usually doesn't turn all the way around while wandering. Your taming progress will not be reset if the creature attacks you, but you will lose taming effectiveness if you fight back.īe careful when approaching Gigantopithecus while feeding, as it will randomly change directions or stop, causing you to run into it. You must get out of its line of sight in order for it to calm back down and be feed-able again. If you come into physical contact with Gigantopithecus while you are trying to feed it, the creature will attack. You must wait for the creature's hunger to go back down before it can be fed again, a process which takes some time, depending on the level and the food (see tables).
Gigantopithecus will take one piece of the food from your inventory and will play an eating animation. To feed one you will need to be level 30, then place an appropriate food in the far-right slot of your hotbar and get close enough to the creature for the button prompt to appear. Similar to the Ichthyosaurus, Gigantopithecus is tamed by hand-feeding rather than through the use of tranquilizers. Note that the values are for optimal cases, always bring extra supplies!įor a level-dependent count of resources needed, try an external taming calculator.ġ × Cooked Meat Jerky, 1 × Medium Egg, 5 × Fiber, 2 × Longrass, 2 × Savoroot, 1 × Water Taming Strategies For instance, cheat SetTargetDinoColor 1 6 would color the Gigantopithecus's "" magenta.

DARK AND LIGHT TAMING CAVE YETI PATCH
With the introduction of the Snow Cave in Patch 237, a variant of Gigantopithecus spawns inside called the Yeti. It probably feels that this activity is a game, but clever brigands can use this ‘game' to vault over walls and small cliffs. Playful once tamed, Gigantopithecus seems to enjoy throwing the creatures or riders it's carrying into the air. It appears to be entirely content to pick at plants all day, eat the berries, and carrying fiber resources for its tribe. In addition to being at home picking berries, a tamed Gigantopithecus can be taught to harvest the fibers found on many Island plants as well. I have occasionally seen Gigantopithecus jumping to grab vines that it can traverse and swing on, but otherwise, it seems most happy to lay about, picking berries from plants lazily. Once another creature gets close, this gentle giant quickly becomes a rampaging beast.
