Just to let you know most creatures in caves wont agro on you when you are on the monkey

[@Orwrath2010]

monkey is treated like the therizeno and the megatherium and any other larger creature and then the amargasaurus isn't, bugs will attack you on the amargasaurus

[@ericmaldonado1337]

hey syn what rates do you play on

[@wyvernplayz6772]

Just saying that follow thing is not a bug, if you go into behaviour settings of creature you can turn it off. Its a new feature for all

[@ab5trakt14]

What type of recording software do you use? Is it available for Mac too?

[@Blackfire_2620]

Dinopithicus don't gain agro from most creatures unless you attack them first. Makes them great for simply walking through artifact caves.

[@MissGlassButterfly]

Ohhh useful

[@tox1ckatana]

He says that in the video

[@electrofunix5021]

The Dino’s scream depends on the creatures drag weight and megalanias have low drag weight which is why it works on them.

[@valkyriesmilk6697]

Really? That actually would make sense

[@LeoTheYuty]

Does it work on enforcers then, since they have a super low drag weight?

[@stinky_cat5782]

@@LeoTheYuty yes I think so

[@FeuerToifel]

exactly this! sino drag weight is 60, megalania drag weight is just 35.

[@HicaroAlves.]

What is drag weight sir?

[@erikconradt4953]

These are my favorite caves so far between all of the maps. They're just the right amount of confusing and hard so that you'll definitely be able to do them but still enjoy the challenge of it.

[@randyrussell4793]

That’s what I feel now but when I was lost in one for half an hour I hated it

[@ishaanharry8995]

I think It needs a bit more hard and it just doesn't have that adventurous they rag caves do sadly

[@qShakey]

@@ishaanharry8995 u should try the labrynth cave with 2 artifacts in it, thats hard…

[@randyrussell4793]

@packapunch no I just was in the cave where you had to crouch and get in but my tv was super dark

[@vexandivine4036]

Syntac, im pretty sure i dont know a single person who has seen eight legged freaks, it was such a great movie when i was a kid, the fact you mentioned it and know it has made my entire day, great movie thank you, also great video thank you again.

[@discipleofdeath2517]

The scene with the spider punching the guy into the ground still gets a huge laugh out of me.

[@johnson5058]

Such a ridiculous movie but it's a classic 😄

[@OuroBorosSector]

It’s hilarious how he thought it was a glitch that everything was standing still, but not many creatures Agro on it (not even thylas or Carnos)

[@justinchoi1695]

Actually thylas do aggro on to them. I tested it and a thyla did jump at my monke. Although alpha raptor don't aggro which seems silly

[@OuroBorosSector]

Only on the trees, on the ground thylas do not agro, I was in the dessert and I was mounted on baboon and a thyla was just walking as I was just standing in front of it

[@doran7293]

And spinos

[@anarchond]

25:32 they count as rexes for taming purposes. That way nothing attacks them while you're taming them

[@stinky_cat5782]

No it's called being an apex predator. Not counting as a Rex lol

[@NeuvilletteIsAPrincess]

@@stinky_cat5782 Syntac said "counts as a rex" which this comment is going off.

[@stinky_cat5782]

@@NeuvilletteIsAPrincess guess that makes sense

[@anarchond]

15:59 you can tame them. They forgot to restrict it I tamed a level 934 arthro on a server with max wild lvl 480.

[@Arty-j4t]

That means i can tame lvl 300 bear in ice cave ?

[@chewie1498]

@@Arty-j4t no, that was patched awhile ago, this cave hasn't been fixed, so you can tame stuff

[@tacthescribbler772]

The waterfall in that second cave actually comes from the surface. You are correct in that, if you had followed the river completely through that tunnel and all the way to where it ended, you'd have found an alternate entrance to the cave. I've made the mistake of parachuting down with my sino. Also, Gigas can spawn near that entrance. There's a bright pink/red one on my server right now that might fall down that waterfall if something leads it in. Also, my favorite part of Eight-Legged Freaks was the leaping spiders chasing the dirt bikes across the desert. That was wild. Lastly, Merry Christmas to you, too!

[@isabellarivera9562]

Would love to see you tame every creature you get a saddle for from loot crates. 😊 might make some fun little side missions for you to do while waiting around.

[@absolutelyspiffing]

The sino can scare anything below a certain carry weight (the stat used to determine what creatures and players can carry). Megalania are below it

[@SchmeckLOL]

He knows what stat idk why you had to explain it to him

[@squiddad1528]

Ahhhhh yes, a Syntac vid to get me through the work day.

[@arandomperson7583]

Finally I’ve been waiting for this. You now have 1 million subscribers! Great work.

I LOVE 8 legged freaks. Loved it as a kid, rewatched it as an adult, love it even more.

[@stayhydrated5416]

3:37 the Scorpion's were just chilling, probably just had a glass of water to stay hydrated

[@Syverslvt]

I’m so happy syntactic still plays ark and never changed I used to watch him a lot

[@iLLFaith]

You referenced two classics that I love in this! Both King Kong (2005) and Eight Legged Freaks hold a special place in my childhood heart :)

[@pranavjeganathan949]

i started trippin when i saw syntac's video on my feed lol I thought my afternoon nap went for 24hrs and its Monday XD

[@riddermichi]

don't feel bad when u get an item and didn't record the drop! I find it great to hear you're still playing ark without having your recording software open. Shows that you'd still play ark purely for your own fun even without making the youtube videos!

[@t0uchgra558]

Syntac: This cave reminds me of the ravine from king kong in 2005. Also syntac: OMG! There's a lot of spiders. Me: yep, totally the ravine from kingkong in 2005.

[@ahmadxaea-136]

Megalania is considered a small creeature. It can even be carried by a Griffin. That's probably why your sino scared it.

[@blinistw8480]

GRIFFINS CAN CARRY DINOS???????

[@stinky_cat5782]

@@blinistw8480 it can also be carried by a pt. You didn't know!?!?

[@ahmadxaea-136]

@@blinistw8480 yeah griffins and pteranodons can carry small creatures like dilos, dodos etc...basically whatever a griff/pteranodon can carry, a sino can scare (+small fliers like dimorph and onyc). It's linked to the drag weight of creatures.

[@solarphoenix999]

Arachnophobia is my spider movie of choice! maybe not giant spiders, but smaller ones that get everywhere can be scary too lol

[@ujinxme]

My daughter and niece love the movie Eight Legged Freaks. Has a good balance of comedy and fear.

[@kainhearth964]

Eight legged freaks was my childhood movie. My sister usually made me skip the scene with the cat because it scares her.

[@AllMightyLifeGiver]

That cool waterfall in the center is up top. I went down that way the first time to see what was down there.

[@josephparks7628]

Yes. Eight Legged Freaks was THE movie that made me absolutely terrified of spiders since being a young kid. Two scenes that fucked me up the most was when the spider and the cat brawl in the walls. And the one scene near the end where a bunch of spiders gang up on one guy, that fell between some cars and they literally beat him to death with their front legs.

[@full8497]

There's 2 caves that require you to dive into the swamp and go under water to reach the entrances.

[@letmetellyou3450]

Omg, haven't thought about 8 Legged Freaks in YEARS!! So want to watch it right now...

[@wuslus3595]

3am watching Syntac, different type of vibes.

[@steelrarebit7387]

Can you imagine going out to gather food IRL and you see a bunch of Shelobs everywhere? By the way, I decided to jump on a server with other people for the first time. The spider cave was the very first one I found. I got wrecked really quick.

[@TehSymbiote]

Happy holidays everyone!

[@eggasmonster101]

Thank you for answering about the gamma up and down! I've been wondering for a while lol.

Wow!! Taming my Sinos, I got a baby today that has DOUBLE MUTATION (melee AND health!!) Is that even a thing, has anyone else had this happen?!?! Awesome vid as always Syntac buddy, and you're doing what I am currently, caves!! Stay Safe man! Also, surprised you arent using the Sinos, I brought 4 and one on my back and did the easternmost southern cave on foot :)

[@rachdarastrix5251]

You are certainly better at flying in this game than I am at flying in a dream. When I try to fly in a dream its like quick sand. The inability to fly correctly is the first way I figure out that I'm dreaming. Its a dead give away when flying is difficult.

Oh my god I thought that no one elf wold remember the 8 legged freaks movie and is one of my favorite old movies.

When I went into the second cave, I got to the water, got jumped by the Arthros, then was rewarded with a level 66 T-Rex emerging from the water. Yay.

[@elvennations]

Loved Eight-Legged Freaks. Such a fun movie

[@Rikard416]

18:30 that waterfall is actually an exit... I accidentally built my first camp on top of it (it was a lake that goes into this waterfall, beautiful lake tho). I had to move base because it was a giga spawn location 😅

[@Cheese-e6e]

The jaw break is my favorite part of that scene

[@valkyriesmilk6697]

So this might only be for the swamp lake behind my house but I found if you use parachute mode in water you can walk on the bottom of the ocean floor without oxygen and can shoot and use weapons 100% a bug

[@Daethbane]

I had that happen to me also, I thought my server was about to melt or something 😂

[@MidiSFM2]

A friend of mine and I went through the Twisted Vine cave as our first cave in the ARK, I felt so worried about every other cave after that lmao.

Me: Man this map is great, I found 4 caves so seems that is all, time to get ready. Syntac: This map has 9 caves. Me: Of course.

[@lewisstrikes7080]

Omg i love 8 legged freaks its a classic movie from my childhood!!!

[@masonbowman493]

It makes sense that it is the artifact of the pack because all of the creatures Syntac ran into were in packs/groups.

[@90kalos1]

Eight legged freaks is one of those bad movies that I adore.

I love when syntac said I can feel my armor crawling back into my inventory lol 😂

[@arachnaphobia44]

I enjoyed this video, Your also my inspiration to play ark even tho I never play it with a sprained Index finger.

[@JustArked]

Dinopithecus are apex creatures, like rexes and Gigas that's why most wild creatures ignore them when they are tamed.

[@TimmyTheChicken]

23:18 "I'm so glad nothing like that exists RIGHT NOW" what are you trying to say? Spiders are gonna mutate and be huge in the future?!?!?!

[@MynameisS_A]

Ark is a beautiful game, isn’t it? 😃😃

[@SirTriton]

3:46 I think what is happening here is that the dinophiticus has a kind of alpha status like the rex has wich mkaes it so insects ignore it I could be wrong but still its worth to guess

[@xanderdevriendt8840]

get syntac to 2 million subs

[@TheAntKeeper]

I'm loving this series @syntac!

[@codyisaacs99]

I don't know if you can but do you think it's possible to tame the baby dynopithecus with the maewing? Since you can lure babys away and "steal/tame" Maybe something you could try 👀

[@CASTRO7n]

When I went into the second caves, I entered through the waterfall, but there was no Dino’s in it for me. I have cave fliers turned on on my single player, and I flew through into the artefact room and there was nothing in there to fight me

[@lomax0018]

Classic film eight legged freaks! I think it is scarlett johansons first film aswell!! (Good chance I'm wrong but she is young in the film)

[@DeadlyPlatypus]

Thanks for reading the coordinates verbally for those of us on tiny screens.

[@shoelesscovet4295]

So love this episode I couldn't stop laughing 🤣

[@chaseg6325]

I got a suit that makes it look like I’m riding a raptor and that was my favorite Christmas gift 😂😂😂

[@TURBOMIKEIFY]

That's the exact cave I accidentally found and saw my first Megalania (been playing for a year now).

[@TubaguyVODS]

interesting so the poop size (small,medium,large) is the determing factor in the scare of the simocrops exmple if animal poops small poop then the simocrops will scare it hence the scaring of the megalania witch would then also allow a moreallatops l to be scared by the screek of the simocrops but would restrict the scaring of raptors,trikes,gigas,and any other dino that poops a poop larger then small poop.

[@broderickroost393]

Does it bother anyone else that he saw 174 unicorn and didn't tame it, I mean at this point I thought he would have grown carrots with his love of equus. With that said great video.

[@ethanemery718]

Dude when you mentioned you love the 2005 King Kong, you got like 3x more awesome

[@trevordavis2499]

You have 2 of the 4 gamma artifacts. Skylord cave is somewhere around green obi (I fell into it). That's a pretty fun cave. Someone else probably has the cords. Funny I'm a little ahead of you, but only have the 4 artifacts. I need the tribute stuff and an army for the gamma boss. Built in the same spot too.

[@Thedainironfoot_648]

You make my day every day and when my mom was going through cancer you got me through that tough time you are my favorite and keep on making awesome videos🥰😁

[@GameDragonMedia]

There are plenty of crops on the map. I got a lot of seed with Moshops Seems you have to take one and harvest a bit

[@Nuka1122]

I found a great way to level up Dinopithecus! Just go to a forest and smash the ground around trees. I found out about today xD (so OP is you ask me)

[@LucindaPug]

Please do another 100 days in hardcore ark!! You could do the maps in order (scorched earth next)

[@stinky_cat5782]

Dinopithecus are apex creatures apparently. I was confused at first as well.

[@sunnyboi1146]

Apparenlty theres a rumor going around saying that ferox spawns somewhere in the artifact of the strongs cave, i cant check it out cus i dont have enough gigs left to download.

[@thegamingtech7422]

Syntac you need to test if dinopithecus can make giga poop

[@ameliadriscoll8634]

I know there was an update adressing an overspawn, if it wasnt in the X-ocean area i bet you it was cave creatures. Theres a couple more caves in the north, one you gotta go into a sarco infested lake to find a tiny entrance in the water, another is at the base of a tall waterfall.

[@thornedcustos]

Brooooo eight legged freaks is a childhood fav

[@ethangarrod5383]

The tunnel where the giga was is literally where my friends and I base is. We have a giga there as well,😂😂

[@lanesullivan5856]

There is a volcano artifact cave on the top right side of the map, I'll find coords next time I'm on but it's the artifact of the immune there's rock golems and lots of lava

[@viktor1842]

Well... Megalanias can be grabbed by every single creature tha can grab dinos, so I imagine that's why it can get scared by the Sinomacrops

Nobody: Syntac:booummmm

[@Mig21Fishbed195]

Gotta love that a giga spawn is less then a kilometre from where I made my base. It’s at the small pond at 13:16 in the bottom right corner

[@flipperpupflipperpup8354]

Damn u syntac just was about to go to sleep at 2:30 but ur vid came out but that labyrinth sounds cool

I strongly suggest you get Awesome Spyglass. Not only would it give you the animals levels but it does color, torpor as well as coordinates on the map that you are at right then as well as N S E W.

[@ZaccaiB]

Im gonna need to find some caves because yesterday My mom and I went exploring in the jungle and encountered a lot of dinos

[@ZaccaiB]

We have a turtle and house from day 1. Today is day 4 of playing on the map.

[@stewy6852]

I forget now but it was when syntic was going to one of the caves near blue obe

[@SchmeckLOL]

The water fall cave was a cave i wanted to tell you about it leads to the greenlands... I think,but its pretty cool (this comment was made before the vid was finished)

[@debads2832]

if you spyglass on an dinopithicus then hold x or throw poop you can spy glass through the dinopithicus and more zoom

[@jakubkolasniewski8741]

Most creatures are afraid of Dinopithecus, that's why scorpions didn't attack you.

[@francisliriano9753]

If im not mistaken, the Dinopithicus don’t get agro from small creatures, I think from allows and up they can get the agro on

[@Frogboyaidan]

The reason why sinomacrops can scare megalania is that megalania is considered a small (for some reason )

[@landonshowalter-maxson2170]

Would've been so cool if he brought the sino army into the caves.

[@christopherfulton320]

[@nateday6817]

I hope you had a good Christmas or Honokaa or whatever you celebrate.

[@littlebear274]

I'm never really confident about fighting bosses which means there actually isn't huge need to get artifacts on PC. On mobile you can bring artifacts to the obelisks to get high level loot from them and I'm sort of sad we don't have that on PC (along with the ability to sleep through the night on single player!).
