Dinopithecus King — Detailed Guide

The Dinopithecus King is the boss of Lost Island: a giant baboon that fights alongside swarms of its own troop. It cannot be tamed, ridden or bred. Beating it gives Element, the Dinopithecus King Trophy and Flag, and Tek engrams, and it comes in three difficulties: Gamma, Beta and Alpha.

Where to find it

It is fought in the Dinopithecus King Arena on Lost Island. Survivors teleport in from an Obelisk or a Supply Crate after offering the tribute for the chosen difficulty. The summoner needs player level 55 for Gamma, 75 for Beta and 100 for Alpha. Each tier asks for four Artifacts plus a set of apex drops.

Tips

  • Troop: he calls packs of Dinopithecus, some riding Amargasaurus or carried in by Sinomacrops, so bring creatures that handle crowds.
  • Grenades: he leaps onto the cliffs around the arena and throws Infested Grenades.
  • Melee: his slam can dismount riders, his bite drains part of a creature's health over time, and his claw swipes cycle through ice, fire and armor-reduction effects.
