Dinopithecus are passive tames; however, they are vastly different from whatever other passive tames in the game. Firstly, the merely fellow member of the troop that is tamable is the Alpha Dinopithecus, which are identifiable by a glowing aura around their bodies. Secondly, you must scare and gain the respect of the Blastoff before yous may tame it. Annotation that the juveniles which are carried on the backs of the Beta members and the Beta members are not tameable at all.

You lot'll need to kill all the Betas around the Alpha earlier you'll be able to tame the Alpha itself. This is where your top advantage comes into play, by either grappling into a tree or upwardly higher than their hitbox, you tin safely shoot the dinos without being killed yourself.

Once all the Betas take been killed, you'll need to drop the Alpha down to beneath 85% of its HP. If y'all take a very high damage weapon and the Alpha is lower level be conscientious to not impale it by accident. Once the Alpha is under 85% HP approach the Alpha and printing "Due east" to feed information technology the kibble or other food y'all've selected. If it'south a higher level, you may need more kibble or nutrient.
