Combat
This section describes how to fight against the Megapithecus Pestis.
General
The arena is divided into 5 different sections by rocky outcroppings that jut from the floor. There is enough space between the walls and the rocks that the boss, as well as the survivor, can move through them. The Megapithecus Pestis possesses two attacks, a smash which causes a large knockback and a ranged attack where it tosses a large boulder at the survivor. The boulder deals a significant amount of damage upon impact. The Megapithecus Pestis can summon Gigantopithecus, which will chase after the survivor and attempt to cut them off, and Mesopithecus, which will throw Feces to trigger a slow effect as well as drain Health over time.
Strategy
The Megapithecus Pestis can be easily confused by the large rocks, which may block its direction. The bulky body of the Megapithecus Pestis sticks out, allowing it to be shot at.
Weaponry
Using a Compound Bow can deal decent amounts of damage and keeps the survivor at a reasonable distance. Using a Shotgun will deal greater damage, but it can put the survivor dangerously close to the Megapithecus Pestis.
Dangers
The Megapithecus Pestis will attempt to hurl enormous rocks at people. The meso minions it summons inflict Torpor that can put a survivor to sleep. Multiple hits from the large boulders can catch an unsuspecting person off guard, as the sudden, collective damage may be fatal.
Weakness
A good ranged weapon like compound bows can do lots of damage to it or a pump shotgun
