I was gonna suggest peter piper for the quatz lol but that name is funny as well

[@HungryMako]

New Quetz Meta: HONEY ! Quetz will follow Honey to the ground when you throw it from your hotbar. Takes a few to keep its attention. When down, place a gate and drop honey so it puts its neck through. Place a gate behind it and Bingo! Its crazy but it works on all levels. Easiest tame ever. (Upvote so he reads)

[@justinl1984]

Dude thank you! Posted this too… I don’t get how people don’t know this

[@ISuckAtAirbrushing]

Saw a video about this method and I STILL picking my jaw up off the floor. Pretty sick taming method. But now I just shoot from the back of my rhynio. 😂😂

[@HungryMako]

@@ISuckAtAirbrushing I think Honey is better, for this reason: You decide where he lands. Can guide it to a safe spot on land, before wasting shocking tranqs. Plus i dont have a Rhynio. :)

[@ISuckAtAirbrushing]

@@HungryMako totally agree 100%. I’m just a masochist and like going pew pew from the back of a giant bug. 😂

I just learned this a few weeks ago from a video by Lucky By Nature. Wish I'd known it earlier, also.@@justinl1984

[@windstar120025]

Just wanted to make sure that after watching the last episode, that Syntac knows that the dinos you get from the present system are Low level because ALL of their Stats are focused into a single stat, and make them grreat for Breeding.

11 days later....

[@TaraWestlex]

My first successful quetzal tame (way back in ASE) did the same thing as this one: passed out over the river but landed on some rocks. Such a relief when you realize it's not going to drown. That was the second quetz I was able to knock out; the first one landed on an alpha raptor. :_(

[@bazar2021]

Lmao yeah they use to fly to 50 50 which was black sands back then and that was way more dangerous than the current 50/50 & 60/60. Not nearly as dangerous now but still a lot of things that spawn around there.

[@anzai9836]

my first one landed in redwoods on an alpha raptor too haha

[@bazar2021]

@@anzai9836 lmaoooo raptors period are there just to be a nuisance I swear. Them and stupid pegomastix always bother you when you’re preoccupied with something more important like taming or harvesting or waiting on a supply drop

[@mara_jaden]

I've read about people boxing them in, but never seen it before. Good Video. 😊 Axeman died so many times taming his one I thought he was going to rage quit. Lol 😂

[@heatherwallaert5165]

YAY first Syntac video of the new year! I was waiting eagerly for this!

[@littlefoxxy6456]

Omg finally! I missed you!!! Happy new year

[@Grexgar]

Brings back memories of my first quetzal tames.

[@Jaysram2005]

This brought back so many quetz taming memories! Fantastic vid!

[@Audiatrix]

Apparently you can lure quetz with honey, lure it down and put some gates around it

[@charlyromero96]

I’m glad, you were able to take that Quetz! Did a tame similar myself in ASE after ASA crashed on me. Lvl 130 Yuty stuck in the ice floes with two Carnos as sidekicks. Took out the Carnos, then KO the Yuty and it became fully immersed in water under the ice! Checked it’s oxygen saw it wasn’t depleting so loaded it up with food. Got a nice take out of that.

[@greydragon1115]

This ain't a negative comment. have to say, some content creators do not have the best content out there, but I still watch them sometimes because I find their voices really relaxing or kind. I've not played Ark in 2years, but I never stopped watching your videos. You have an extremely wholesome voice and to double up on that, the most entertaining videos. LOVE THE VIDS MAN💪

FINALLY ANOTHER EPISODE AFTER 10 DAYS 😂😭🙏🏻

[@michaelnissila1335]

Well I'm here.. I made it to the most recent video.. I haven't watched them all... yet. But I really dig the spartanslime series so far. And as soon as I'm done this vid I have the 3 hour SOTF to watch. So very much looking forward to that. But Syn... Its been 8 days since an upload? Hope we get one soon! Thx for reading if u actually see this comment. Have a great day! Syncerely Your newest Fan!

[@Trodai2020]

Hands down my all time favorite KZbinr ark content creator. Thank you for amazing ark videos

[@corranbfg]

Easiest way for quetz trap in my experience. Set down a gate, drop honey in front of it till it’s head goes thru the gate, then just set a few around it. And done.

[@GregsWildlife]

It's funny, earlier today I was watching a super old video of mine when you, me and Cosmic were taming quetzals. It's really weird looking back on 2016 Ark, it looks so different!

[@-CriminalCupcake]

The easier way to do that is to fly your questzal underneath it until its boxed in, and then dismount. Theres no collision while mounted.

[@veryvarley6706]

I use a Tapijara. Sit in the passenger seat and whistle to attack and you can shoot from the seat ( but cant steer -- other than attack and land ). Works great and no swinging from a rope.

[@TaraWestlex]

A tapejara has always been my go-to method, but I might try the honey and dino gates next time around. I've never even considered trying the argy method - too bouncy.

[@carbonatedmoose7872]

I remember when everyone was taming quetz when they first came out because they were actually pretty good battle mounts

[@thunderbasilisk1352]

So much nostalgia in this episode!

[@full8497]

The only danger you have to worry about is when the quetz goes unconscious, if it falls on you, it can push you out the bottom of the trap. I usually grapple to the wall when knocking them out just in case.

[@carmandirda]

I miss the days of the quetzal battle birds. The true air force of the Ark! Now, with rhynio, idk why to even tame one, and it's sad.

[@Mythikus]

that gaurdian galli coming in to check out your quetz eraned a chuckle

[@SanderJanssens]

I miss my old quetz LOLA FERRARI (pre flyer nerf), 60 points into speed, fast AF! Volcano to base in no time, metal runs ftw. Brings back memories

[@The.CfFilmz-vg9vw]

@@ryangarcia7732 yeah ik he hasn’t been that’s why I’ve been excited to see a new post not literally cry but u guys know what I mean been a fan for years now

[@bluepaladin9630]

One thing the Quetz has on the Rhynio is that the Quetz can transport full armies to the obelisks with the platform saddles, maybe not quick but better than one at a time Edit: just realized cryopods exist again. Never mind 😂

[@cee_ves]

Eh, cryos have the fridge requirement which is a pain in the ass, also the sleep timers if you play on official. Sometimes a quetz is what you need Unless quetz can also store a fridge and that works fine, in which case quetz are still your best option

[@seejbra]

Keep the asa episodes coming syntac can't get enough brother!

[@GiraffesNRoses]

I've always found tapejara's are the way to go. You can sit on the passenger seat and shoot

[@jack9316]

The concept of the flyer nerf I was never against I just kinda wish every flyer was about 10% faster

[@jacobrubydev]

18:31 this is the goofiest thing I've ever seen in this game

[@GOAT-ri3sh]

YAY SYNTAC UPLOAD!!!!

[@bobbyvang]

32:55 i thought you were going to name it Pickles because it's head looks like a Pickle haha xD

[@reacreations]

unfortunate that theres no settings to fix the cryopods that doesnt require messin with ini files, so us console players are still gettin needlessly screwed over. like i wouldnt even mind it if i could at least put a fridge on a saddle, then a quetz would finally have a use again >.

[@1EyeLewis88]

It's been hot min hope you had great new year mate and can't wait for what 2024 brings.👌🏻

[@esimpson2751]

the way that quetzal hit the ground and it's body thud against the rock and water splashed out from the sides, the power of unreal engine right there!

[@oblvnus]

the reason the quetzal moves is because all platform-able tames slide off other platform saddles and rafts. but it seems you can work around it by boxing them in.

[@didzee3720]

It's pretty cool to use cryopods for organizing your dinos inside the base, but I when out in adventures, it seems more fun to not carry dinos in your pocket.

[@Sh3wbs]

shut up

[@justinl1984]

Do people not know you can use honey? It will follow it all the way to the ground then you use Dino gates.

[@oldtimergaming9514]

Shhhhh! This is more interesting and an alternate way of doing things that is fun to watch.

[@TragikDino]

To be fair in ASE honey wasn’t the greatest option for luring, and compared to other options it was much more expensive. Plus when dealing with aggressive creatures they often switch between going after the honey and trying to eat you so for late game tames especially it’s just more time consuming

[@wyattstewart3497]

Finally I’ve been waiting on a video

[@Bluemerlehikes]

RiP syntac thanks for the content

[@frostygardens]

[@RoundSeal]

Burst out laughing when you named it Aer Lingus

[@funnyanimalworld7579]

when i played quetz was a ned dino and the way to tame it was using argy , parashute and a dart gun . praying that it will fall somewhere safe and not in water , it was quite dificult thing . i still got a save with my base and that quetz

[@robm2111]

I always put the opening in the front of the trap. Makes it much easier.

[@AesirGodzTheScalieHater]

I might be reaching, but old models like the Quetzal, Bronto, and Paracer really make themselves stand out... by looking out of place. At least a bit of a texture update would be nice, doesn't have to be a full-on TLC, just a change of visuals.

[@landanj54]

#Syntac the best❤😊😂

[@jimcleary1161]

Great episode as usual!!!!

[@jonathanlanglois2742]

I've done it once, and it was a struggle. Honestly, I don't know any other method without having another quetz lying about. 18:20 If its like the older version of Ark, you can definitely just fly into the other quetz.

[@naeledro]

OMG OMG OMG, it's here! A new Syntac video :D

[@hitavi4965]

The tranqued quetzal slide sounds like a dance move, I need to see what that would look like

[@zoejennings5437]

Omg finally, we missed you syntac!

[@gamervision1371]

I love the way the quetzal just broke its back when it hit the rocks

[@Kim-cz9uv]

Hey welcome back Syntac ✌️

[@toxicdragon3448]

Shut up everyone, syntac uploaded

[@zacharylee7683]

You could use honey to lure the quetz to the ground then trap it with gates. If you have enough honey to keep its attention you can just about lead it where ever you want.

[@momslayer6972]

I waited to long for this man i nearly dies my addiction to your videos are getting out of hand

[@julianoutandabout5614]

I was hoping that the cryopod got a TLC to make it work faster, like the Dino storage mod.

[@chrisholbrow7161]

I used to have the open area in the flying trap at the front so you can just fly straight at it and you can place the wall before it turns around. Taming a 150 male as a one man tribe on pvp back inthe day made me friends with everyone on the server because they couldn't believe i was doing it on my own 😂 i also had a server reset halfway through which nade the quetzal fall through the trap into the swamp below and somehow managed to surround it before any snakes came 😅

[@CeratoGamer]

é um ótimo vídeo e adoro me divertir assistindo seu canal e me sinto muito feliz com cada vídeo que voce posta!!!

[@steabestesnathan662]

You were my childhood bro i miss watching you

Why not nervona. That soup let's I keep what you learned an gives you all the points back

[@michaelnissila1335]

😮😮 Omg i said that.. freakin quetz was gonna land on a rock for ya 😂😂 🎉🎉 Thats good karma for Syn... all that baby murdering didnt affect it at all! 😂

[@marceystarnes]

kidnapping friends tames is coming to mind lol, Axe has a mammoth lol then leave bread crumbes to where he can find it lol

[@RAB-]

Quetz is great to find and tame yutys. They don't freak out from fear roar and I can hover grapple dangle if needed to tranq.

[@evil-robot]

Don't forget that a quetzal egg is one of the things that a Rhynio parasite(?) can ask for

[@sebastiannielsen9740]

You are the greatest ark youtuber!

[@Aftershk]

Damn, Syntac's player model is so large, it's tearing through his Krampus skin gloves like the Hulk through a shirt. 😅

[@santa0704]

You should open up number of engram points you get on the map too. The vanilla experience was designed with tribes in mind. Playing solo you shouldn't be limited by that.

[@unknownunknown-ni1ns]

Should have been a non shard mmo then. Shards or player created/run servers ruin the games since you can hike up the exp, tame spead and so on, 1000 single player private moded servers versus 1000 players playing together on a single vanilla server working together and playing together in tribes.

[@Krecik1977]

From my experience it is easier to whistle Argy passive when it catch up with Quetz then aim for the headshot.

[@GigglyPigeon]

I understand you only wanting to put out content you are happy with but you do know we would watch any old poop you post. Missed the series so post more and happy new year

[@RAB-]

Sweet tame! Loveing your vids!

[@dzonits2081]

Finally, a video!

[@Justme-ip3wc]

It can't pick up a Yuty, but can a Yuty walk onto the platform? That way you could just park a Quetzal with a trap on it (with a ramp) and just lure anything into the trap and then fly it to a safer location.

[@Jordan9000VR]

Man I’m telling yea as soon as sir syntac saw SE wasn’t coming out until march my guy slowwwwweeeeeedddddd down hard. Really missing the daily upload.

[@halfasoap1172]

According to the dododex, his wild stats were 20 health, 26 stam, 31 oxygen, 24 food, 19 weight and 19 melee

[@DrunkenCitizen]

Also they follow honey. Just throw it in front of them and they follow it down.

[@jamesjoyce3140]

That is the way I do it.

[@frostygardens]

First I was annoyed....now I'm a little bit worried is Syntac ok?

[@PickleJam300_Jbq]

43 episodes bro this man needs to hop off ark and hop on a plane to the Bahamas or something bro

[@phitsf5475]

You should show more old school strats, though a lot are more useful with multiplayer tribes. Quetz and anky metal farm, theri and raft swamp tree farm

[@goldenlily7466]

OMG I seen you in that suit and almost choked on my gummy bears. So one day when I inevitably choke to death on gummy bears and people ask how she died just say she was killed by bears and leave it at that!

[@lisajasinski2339]

Very nice taming method, will try the honey as that sounds like something I would do!!!

[@kylemeilun4946]

That's an awesome taming method seems really funny.

[@okisquirrel]

I was just thinking about trying to tame one of these and then this vid came out. Perfect!

[@justinl1984]

Use honey… it is way way easier than doing it this way. You put honey on the hot bar and throw it. It will follow it all the way to the ground and then you use Dino gates to trap it.

[@michaelh9028]

Well done on quetz tame ive tried and seen that trap style go bad so quickly, ie. Quetz sliding out of the trap and landing in the water or on aggressive critters

[@pitviper1204]

I never thought another video would come ahaa

[@theothertoby1]

So my question is, do views on the members only videos count towards when the video releases? Or are they seperate videos?

[@Syntac]

Yep they count, this video is currently scheduled for release but now we have the ability to allow members to see it regardless :)
