One question can you figure out how to work the creature when you hold E is says Load creature or something like that, when i tried i was seeing if i could load animals that were water could you do some more testing. Also why did you post at 1 am like!!!!!!!

[@2dsquezssomeguythatcandraw451]

I really wish they added a primitive saddle and then work your way up to the submarine saddle

[@__-be1gk]

It's so obvious they've never cared about water gameplay

[@Manguatz1703]

I’m so glad to see an Ichthyosaur species besides the standard one. The fact that it’s also a whale-sized one is even better. The submarine saddle is also super cool. I just wish you could have them separate, with a combination being optional.

[@ThatOneTeen]

I’m pretty sure you can ride it without a saddle if that helps

[@SuperSaiyan_Anjanath]

Yeah I am finally glad to see a giant Ichthyosaur in the game too. What is the next ichthyosur that should be added? I think shonisaurus, ichthyotitan or cymbospondylus....

[@tuckmasterg]

​@@ThatOneTeennope Tek saddle or not at all But it's not a tekgram it just cost element and a tek rep to make

[@ZeBum]

Okay, I'll admit. That taming process is nice and actually gives you a reason to now tame a creature that I definitely wouldn't ever tame otherwise.

[@chasemoore1216]

Ark is such a fever dream game at times. I love how you literally have a whole ass submarine connected to the dinosaurs underbelly and are controlling the sub via the dino XD

[@TheRealDeclou]

ngl I like that you need an ichthy to chat to his gigantic relative

[@ArchonOfDoom]

Well, I cannot believe that instead of turning into a submarine, they just latched a submarine under its belly. All the development time, must have went for the pyromane huh. Thanks Syntac for the video.

[@oranh]

They can't have spent much dev time on the promane

[@TaterT0tter]

Didn’t they say they couldn’t get it to work?

[@lukeARSElemon]

They had issues with UE5 switching plains between water and land and the potentially having land plains on top of each other with the saddle on top. So to remove the issues they essentially made it so that the land plains could never overlap and put it under the Shast instead

[@TravisTheSavage]

They have trash programmers that's why they couldn't put it on the back

[@CrowofJudgement461]

Man I really wish they had chosen any other design for the submarine, but I also really like your idea of the sub being able to decouple. Maybe we can just ask wildcard to add that function to the saddle so the goofy proportions make sense 😂

[@thunderbasilisk1352]

This is gonna make underwater bases and such so much more fun. And the saddles gonna make underwater resource gathering so much easier. Also love that we now have another reason to tame an Ichthy.

[@JohnNichols566]

The sub has some serious justice league vibes lol

[@_DMNO_]

They could have made the submarine and left out the Shasta, and it would actually be better overall. The Shasta carrying a sub underneath is pointless, and should be able to be used alone. The Shasta, well, it's a big Icthy. The only reason it exists is because Wildcard oversold their ability to make something new.

[@Churros_are_Overrated]

Dude it’s a dinosaur game. They didn’t “oversell” anything they just added another prehistoric animal. Nothing in the entire game is “new”

[@Czermet666]

It exists because this is what players voted for. Could've had something cooler & more useful but people wanted this stupid saddle.

[@fanafelgminecraft5789]

[@FaeValentyne310]

Thank you Syntac, I had no idea what to do with this one or the pyromane. I'm truly happy that you still make Ark videos.

[@Arie420]

You can board dinos into the saddle from the radial wheel. Doesn't seem to work on rexs or flyers.

[@dulmephistroph812]

I mean, at that point they might have been better off just adding a stand alone submarine. They're pretty hesitant with mechanical vehicles.

[@RadioactivesubO]

My guess is maybe it's coding that they're not familiar with holding them back

[@TheCrimsonBagel]

[@ThusGuy]

I think for creature storage a surface saddle would have been a lot better or even a choice to be on the top or bottom

[@monsoon2516]

that submarine underneath the creature looks kinda weird unlike any existing saddle in the game

[@RoundSeal]

I like this cute taming method, especially as I usually entirely skip Icthys when it comes to water tames. I know that they had difficulty with the saddle, but...the original concept saddle was miles better, for sure. I do like that this will hopefully add a lot more life and activity to the ocean, since it was always underutilized. I'm always a fan of huge, slow tames at least 🐋

[@geekygage9038]

Wildcard releasing a creature thats not behind a paywall? How incredibly kind and generous.

[@tuckmasterg]

Wow Y'all act like WC hasn't done it before over a 100 times over the last decade Just a reminder Over half the island creatures alone wasn't even release at ASE launch and were added in NOT to mention that every free map came with free new tames

​@@tuckmastergwhy are you defending a multi-million dollar company?

[@user-zl1vf4me1p]

@@timothissimo well to be fair he has a point, in ASE currently there are absolutely no DLC locked tamable creatures, Fjordur free DLC has most DLC dinos in it.

[@tuckmasterg]

@timothissimo ment to reply to this yesterday when I first saw it I'm not I'm against what they did for the Pyromane I let it slide for the Oasisaur because it wasn't a pvp oriented creature and it's supposed to be a 3 part dlc when Ab and Ex releases I'm not wrong The island alone had almost 130 tameable creatures At least 70 of them was actually in the game when it released and patched in Every single story map have unique tames that are locked behind a paywall and didn't get unlocked until roughly 6 months later when a free map like Ragnarok Valgareo and Lost island released Wyverns Golems Reapers Owls and Shadowmanes are very pvp and pay to win until they were accessible to the non paying players and now getting to my point And when ASE was coming to it's end and the creature votes were happening WE WERE TOLD AND MADE CLEAR that all votes winners would be free Amarg Dinopithecus Carchar Gigantoraptor and now Shasta all free like promise

[@xeno991]

I wish there was a separate saddle without the submarine attached also, I bet modders are gonna make a better design for the submarine saddle than the actual devs lol

[@enderziom04]

Hold on because I'm confused, wasn't it a thing that Shasta was originally supposed to be the creature for The Center, but then they changed it so it would be the creature for Ragnarok instead and made GigaRaptor the new creature for The Center because apparently they wanted to work a bit more on Shasta to touch it up, but now it's back to what it used to be??? Did I miss a page ( a statement they made about reverting their own change ) or did I just misremember-

[@user-gr1io9is3v]

From the size of it they should have named it Ichtyotitan which is bigger than Shastasaurus and probably closer in size to what they modeled

[@kyleduddleston4123]

I think it makes more sense as a submarine to be under the belly.

[@SurvivorDK]

Awesome Shastasaurus guide!! 👍

[@im_bored5388]

So basically it’s a Submarine? Noted I’m gonna go tame one

[@draculemihawk6120]

I wish they kept the saddle above it. Now if you want to transport dinos in it you just need cryos to do it easily, which kind of defeats the purpose. I can also imagine how the saddle is put might cause mesh problems

[@haunteddreams1498]

Can confirm that they have saddles in the Pealrcave drops atleast, found a capped Blueprint in there thats only 17,5k crystal to craft lmao

[@themaskedman8014]

I'm so happy we got a new water creature

[@MayaPatch]

I hoped for a more basic saddle tbh. I mean, besides the submarine one. Maybe for who is not interested to go around with it and just want ride the dino without other stuff. I hope they'll add it in a future update. After all, not everyone is interested in platform saddles (or submarine, in this case). The taming method seems pretty chill, not bad. But what matters is that nothing aggroes on this thing. Imagine if it dies when you have some stuff in your submarine.

I wish it had a normal saddle aswell as it is rn I don’t really see myself really even touching the shasta the saddle just is too much to look at it just makes no sense I would’ve rather had a hideous platform saddle that this and it’s locked behind tek the shasta for me atleast is dead on arrival I’d be much more satisfied with a normal tek saddle or a normal saddle alongside the sub bc I’d still be able to use the shasta just not the sub it’s a very far cry from the concept art and the dossier just wildly disappointing I’d almost go as far to say I’d rather have a glitchy saddle as long as it looked like the dossier😥
