I Tamed the ARK's Best Traveling Mount! - ARK Fjordur [E16]
W/ SYNTAC #Dinosaurs #arkfjordur
The Fjordur Series is a Syntac Adventure on the new Nordic map in ARK Survival Evolved. In this series Syntac will journey throughout Fjordur and its many Realms (Vanaheimr, Jotunheimr and Asgard) and encounter new beasts such as the Fjordhawk, Andrewsarchus, Desmodus Draculae and the Legendary Wolf Fenrir!

In case you’re reading comments. Maybe drop another bed in your base on the outside on one of the spammed foundations. This way when you eat org. Polymer or fast travel you can select the bed that isn’t inside of a structure that the hawk can’t properly deliver to. The hawk is great but definitely a little buggy.

[@DaveTurnaround55]

Damn, thx for clearing that up

[@raccerfeller1315]

Fire idea, he could throw a bed on the walls of his castle too. Maybe also add a zip line or a perch to make it extra steezy?

[@ameliadriscoll8634]

Great idea, just have to hope something hasnt spawned inside the base since apparently foundation spam doesnt seem to be enough to stop creatures from doing so XD

[@edensarnelli9373]

That would be pretty smart honestly. What is max Tek level? I'm struggling to figure out 20% of 180. My brain is struggling.

[@edensarnelli9373]

Nevermind. Max Tek level is 216

[@billfitz1524]

Hey Syn, great vid as usual. I use a single daedon with about 12 - 15k health and a primitive saddle to get a bunch of perfect tame desmodus. They shouldn't be able to kill the daedon (I don't use the passive healing either). 1) I ghillie up and head in, net everything, kill the ones I don't want and then toss out the daeodon and sneak away before the last net breaks on the one I want to tame. 2) I let it pick up the daeodon a bunch of times until it hits a 100%, then take my ghillie off and let it pick me up. 3) It usually takes 3 pick ups for it to be tamed (3x rates), so after the first two pick ups, I let it have the daeodon again to top it back off to 100% effectiveness. Also, I prefer the cave near the wyvern trench on the volcano island, I tame them in the cave before the main chamber, so I don't have to worry about fall damage or being dropped into lava. Also, you will probably have to whistle the daeodon to move around a few times. The bat seems to have a roughly 10 second window where it's not agro'd on whatever it just fed on. At least with the daeodons, that's how it seems to work. Lastly, when I'm in the air with the bat, I put my ghillie back on before it drops me. Thanks for the great content! I'm writing this as I'm watching, so forgive me if this is old news. If you accidentally hit the bat while attempting any stage of the tame, it resets it's progress to 0%, and it's effectiveness to 50%. However....and this is a big however....you can still get it to 100% by using the daeodon method all over again. So you won't permanently screw up a high level tame.

[@tacthescribbler772]

The rendering issue depends on the map's stability and what/how many assets are being loaded. Maewing can be great on less busy maps like the Island or Valguero, in my experience. I've noticed that moving too fast on Extinction seems to cause crashes (although that theory came up when I was using a Managarmr as opposed to a Maewing).

[@apolloeggo3677]

Especially on the Center, the ruins on that map make your game turn into a blur of dropped framerate.

[@monkeysattitude3248]

Another map that bugs out for me is fjordor and gen2

[@dylandavies6355]

Does anyone find that the 'super jump' doesn't work quite as well on console as on PC?

That was a pretty smooth tame on that bat when it was stuck on that rock. Trapping them might be a good option to get a perfect one. Also It almost has the same colours as plasma 1 ^^

Maewings are fun on console for the most part, it's usually dependant on the areas I'm in. Like if it's a area with alot of things and bases to render it's extremely laggy but on mountains and plains it's usually good

[@boweryjoker2545]

I don't know if you know already but the desmodus taming effectiveness starts at 50% or 55%, something like that and you have to raise the effectiveness by letting it pick up a tamed dino like a moschops or something similar with blood packs in their inventory. Sorry if you already knew this!

[@rich7452]

It's not really a vanilla thing to do. It's a mod and syn has said this actually. He doesn't do that because you cant do it in vanilla so doesn't want to. The only reason syn uses dino-storage is for breeding and to stop cryo sickness. It doesn't give him any advantage.

Using Maewings on Console (PS4) works surprisingly good. I love traveling with them and also would say they are my favorite travel mount. But it also depends on the map and area you are in. For example on Gen1 in the snow it dangerous to move with anything slightly quick xD But moving on the non-story maps with them is fantastic Appreciate your videos ;)
