Megapithecus is a Boss in ARK: Survival Evolved with its lair in the freezing north. It can only be reached by generating a portal to it at a Beacon or Obelisk.
In Survival of the Fittest, it can be tamed and ridden, along with the Broodmother and the Dragon. One of its attacks allows the Megapithecus to pick up large rocks and throw them, easily breaking structures and damaging large groups of dinosaurs.
Appearance
The Megapithecus highly resembles an incredibly oversized modern-day gorilla with dark silver skin and very long and thick white fur. Scars that reveal flesh and straps of tissue appear on the upper-right portion of the chest-piece, the front-facing section of the right shoulder, and most of the right side of its face. The origin of those scars remain a mystery. Its left eye is red while its right eye is blind and white.
Color Scheme and Regions
The Megapithecus always spawns with the same color scheme and has no color regions.
This means it is currently impossible to make alterations to the Megapithecus's colors.
Colors
The Megapithecus has different types of color due to its difficulty level:
Difficulty Level | Color |
---|---|
Gamma | Green |
Beta | Yellow |
Alpha | Red |
Megapithecus - The Center Arena (Variant)
The following are variants of the Megapithecus that are found in The Center Arena. The variant summoned is dependent on the difficulty of the Arena. These Megapithecus have lower Health.
- Megapithecus (Gamma) - The Center Arena
- Megapithecus (Beta) - The Center Arena
- Megapithecus (Alpha) - The Center Arena
Basic Information
Location
The Megapithecus can only be found in the Megapithecus Arena or in The Center Arena. To reach this location, players must go to either a Beacon or Obelisk and place the required tribute items inside, then click on the Generate Megapithecus Portal or Center Portal item. At this point a portal will be opened to teleport nearby players and dinos into the arena.
If playing in Single Player mode, the portal can only be generated from the blue obelisk.
Tribute Requirements
The following items are needed to summon the Megapithecus:

Wild Stats Level-up
Type in values of a wild creature to see on which stats it's emphasized. Green values on a high-level creature are very good for breeding. If you have already tamed your creature you can try to recover the breeding stats with an external tool.[1]
The stat-calculator does not work in the mobile-view, see here for alternatives: Apps
Note that after the creature is tamed it gets bonuses on some stats depending on the taming effectiveness. This makes it hard to retrieve the levels on a tamed creature, so this tool is only for wild ones, but gives a first impression, how well the stats are distributed.
Combat
This section describes how to fight against the Megapithecus.
General
Like Broodmother Lysrix, defeating Megapithecus can be done quickly as long as the correct tames are brought to the battle. Megapithecus has the lowest health of the three main island bosses, so killing it isn't very hard and can be done even quicker than killing Broodmother. It can spawn minions in the form of Mesopithecus and Gigantopithecus. The arena Megapithecus lives in is a snow covered mountain temple, so bringing equipment to prevent hypothermia is necessary.
Strategy
Not much strategy is required to defeat Megapithecus other than whistling and attacking, however, precautions must be made to ensure tames don't fall into the large instakill hole to the right of the starting area. To avoid this, most tribes do not leave the starting teleport pad and instead lure Megapithecus over to it, which is much safer and prevents anything from being knocked into the hole. As for tames and equipment, 19 Rex and 1 Yutyrannus both imprinted to 100% and equipped with high armor saddles is the easiest and most efficient way to kill Megapithecus. Fur Armor, Fria Curry, or high amounts of Fortitude on your character prevent freezing to death as the arena itself is quite cold.
Weaponry
Weapons are a waste of time and ammo for this boss; tames will always be more efficient.
Dangers
The large hole to the right side of the starting area in the arena can instantly kill ANYTHING. Leaving the starting area is always very risky and dangerous.
Weakness
It has the lowest health of any boss on all difficulties; even only having 180,000 on Gamma! This leads to much quicker kill times than other bosses.
Notes/Trivia
- Its name was originally ??? but was then renamed by the user BlackFish to Megapithecus. (The creator of the Survivors Wildlife Appendix on the steam forums.) Later Wildcard Studios adopted the name and made it official.[2][citation needed]
- Dossier revealed on 07/24/15
- Its name is similar to that of the Gigantopithecus, this may indicate a relation to this territorial ape.
- The rings surrounding the Megapithecus in its dossier are written in Daedric from The Elder Scrolls series.
- if Megapithecus is tamed using the
forcetame
command, it cannot sprint, jump, or use its chest-pound animation. - Although the Megapithecus on both Alpha and Beta difficulty (but not Gamma) on The Center can damage all building materials all other Megapithecus variants can only damage Thatch, Wood, and Greenhouse.
- Megapithecus has the lowest health out of any boss in the game, only having a very meager 180,000 on Gamma difficulty. On Alpha, it has 540,000 health, which is even surpassed by some bosses on Beta difficulty.
- In the past, the Megapithecus's rock throw was capable of damaging players on mounts and commonly killing weaker players in one hit. This capability was removed (probably due to community frustration) but it received no buff to counterbalance this. Therefore, the Megapithecus is now regarded as one of the easiest bosses in the game due to its fragility compared to other bosses.
