How this tame works
- Kill the rest of its troop until only one is left, then bring that survivor below 85% health. There is no fixed troop size: it is however many spawned together.
- Once it accepts you the window stays open. Healing back up does not close it again, so you only have to hit that health mark once.

More about taming the Dinopithecus
Found throughout the ARKs, the Dinopithecus is a tamable, omnivore creature in ARK: Survival Ascended. Classified under the Climber group.
Starting at 775 Health, it's quite durable. With 100% base Melee Damage, the Dinopithecus has decent hitting power. Stamina sits at 800 base, providing outstanding staying power. It carries 350 base Weight - a solid weight pool.
After taming, the Dinopithecus earns its keep through resource gathering, making tedious farming runs much faster. Breeding is via live birth rather than eggs, simplifying the process. Defeating one in the wild grants 3 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.68 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
