Megapithecus — Detailed Guide
The Megapithecus is the giant ape boss of The Island. It throws boulders, calls in smaller apes and fights in a snowy mountain temple. It cannot be tamed, ridden or bred. Beating it is one of the steps toward Tek engrams on The Island.
Where to find it
Its arena is on The Island and The Center, and Valguero has a version in the Forsaken Oasis. On The Island you summon it from an obelisk, in single player only from the blue one.
How to get one
It is summoned, not tamed. You need the Artifacts of the Brute, the Devourer and the Pack. Beta and Alpha also need 
Megalania Toxin, 
Megalodon Teeth, 
Spinosaurus Sails, 
Therizinosaur Claws and 
Thylacoleo Hook-Claws.
Uses
Each kill drops 
Element, a trophy for its tier and a flag, and unlocks Tek engrams.
Tips
- Cold: The Island arena is freezing, so bring Fur Armor or other cold protection.
- Minions: it summons
Mesopithecus and 
Gigantopithecus, so bring tames that can clear them. - Arena: there is a deep drop near the start that kills anything that falls in.
