The Argy taming at 1:02 really confused me until I remembered that S+ has re-sizable dino gates. Hilarious that I thought the bird turned into a stone dino gate for about 10 seconds.

[@FeuerToifel]

s+ does not have re-sizeable dino gates. you may think of the dynamic gates. but those don't have the top arc thing. only side pillars.

[@groovediggr8777]

Awesome that you used the Captain Fatdog trap! Dude is an absolute God send to the Ark community for this trap.

[@gigga7334]

He didn't use the Fatdog Argy trap though.

[@HustlinHugh]

Hay Syntac buddy!! Apon taming a breeding pair myself, using the Alpha Rex method, I find your issue at 13:50ish was that it was not facing the daedon afaict(as far as I can tell) as it doesn't get gains unless it is. With Alphas also, they gain affinity EACH shot you take, so you might have been better off finding an alpha raptor(or that carno lol) for this method to make it the Easiest way :) Oh, and I got an Apprentice saddle inna purple drop.

[@captainfatdog]

Alpha raptor or carno would have definitely died without owl healing. He would need a high level Alpha Rex.

[@kainhearth964]

I watched a video where they used a high level alpha rex. Pinned the alpha rex. Then kite his Amargasaur down before trying to sync, net it, pinned it. And I think he tamed 2 or 3 high levels before the rex died.

[@HustlinHugh]

@@kainhearth964 Yea, no doubt that is possible. Though with the weapons I have, they do ALOT of dam(~600% Xbow) and I almost killed the alpha before it was tame :P(both times I did it) so you need to have a not so powerful gun/xbow or dino(didnt know it would work on dino, thought had to do it on foot). But yea, thats the same way I did mine.

[@captainfatdog]

@@kainhearth964 That video is by nooblets. He said it was on 1x taming but I believe he must have had it on single player settings which actually makes it 2.5x

The arthro did that much damage to the spike because they can do lots of damage to structures, which the armar spikes count as structures.

[@harry_a_biggins]

Hey syntac great to see u posting more amazing lost island videos hope this series blows up! And happy New Years!!!

[@grimlock4077]

Man your Channel has grown so much since when I found it so happy for you good work man

[@Ajaxduo]

You can find Amar saddle bps in drops at the loot labyrinth cave in the desert at roughly lat 87.7 long 78.3, I got myself a journeyman saddle bp with 75 armor or so.

[@Orwrath2010]

Yes you can find BP's for the amar, we found one at 75~ armor and 32~ armor. The Amar does the damage type according to what spike you have active so the armor reduction I find does help against wild dinos and you can shoot down all the different spike types from the 1 creature just not right on top of the last one. As a general defense unit it's not the best obviously the cold and armor type is good for both slowing down units and reducing armor

[@LegionOfDefiance420]

This might of already been said but I'm fairly certain the reason arthros do so much damage to the spikes is because they might be considered a building

[@KylesMonitors]

Captain Fatdog makes some of the best traps and structures. I've been watching him for years

[@liamguevarra4729]

Syn traps and tortures a pig for hours in order make friends. Yup that's ark

[@dumbmerm9799]

Lol I tried the same thing yesterday, it works like a charm

[@recollectionsdescent1291]

Arthros deal damage to any tier of structure, and I’m pretty sure amargasaurus spikes count as wooden structures in terms of damage resistance

[@lukebarnes2238]

Each of the variations of the amargas attacks deal different amounts of damage. The stomp does the most, then the tail, then the neck swing and the bite while moving does the least

[@nikolasmathew3216]

The neck attack also applied spike effect right?

[@lukebarnes2238]

Yea, whichever spike you have selected, the neck attack does that spikes effect to a lesser degree. So if you have a heat spike on the ground while hitting it with the neck attack, you’ll just make it set on fire faster

[@henkgreyling6663]

Really enjoyed the grinding catch-up bit in the beginning

Yes, finally! I've been waiting for you to tame an Amargasaurus! Thank you.

[@IchbinX]

Tamed these guys the legit way. I gotta say, it was "kinda" fun. If they made it less janky, and make damaging the tame a little more forgiving, this could be a cool taming method for future creatures in Ark II.

[@kang_t5883]

I love watching your videos everyday they genuinely inspire me and I hope they can continue as long as possible

[@CASTRO7n]

I don’t know why but I love the name “Quasimodo” for the amargasaurus, either that or “Purple People Eater”….I also like “Peanut”

[@RaptorRapture]

From experience, that trap causes the Amarga to lose agro a lot.

[@Schnarchnase]

Hehehe, a tsundere bird. "It's not like I am interested in you or anything"🤣

[@numbr17]

I normally really like Syntac's content, but this video is like an ADHD nightmare. It's pretty much perfect for a person who can't do one thing for more than 5 seconds. Drives me a little nuts.

[@gNetkamiko]

At 22:12, it is not a bleed. Rather, it is a more direct application of whatever spike effect you have active on the Amargasaurus. Really handy at taking out the corrupted gigas and whatnot on Extinction. Sorry for the repost. Realized I was typing it before the video finished, so deleted it all (after hitting the "copy" shortcut) and waited until the end of the video in case Syntac realized the effect by himself.

[@jenniferkorf4767]

The poor daedon be like: Why must I endure this tortured existence

[@Nigolasy]

One of the best things on this map is that you don't need to tame the same creatures as in every other map. The amount of time I've been playing with Argies is insane and I haven't even played as much as most here probably. I'm so glad about my snow owls. They are insanely good to snatch wyvern eggs too so it's also the first time that I have wyverns and don't only fly with them. They are pretty much just my base defense because there are way too many Rexes where I live. This map just feels so fresh, I'm using so much I have never used. Tames a Mana even before my snow owl but it felt so bad lol after seeing yours I tamed a better one for swimming to get oil.

[@venmoot]

Name idea: Barney, for obvious reasons :)

[@khrismanauval4383]

Imagine you're being deodon. Someone picked you up with eagle and drop you in pen. Then suddenly some dino running and stuck at top of you. Then you got constantly beated and healed by white owl in 56 minutes, just for some dragon cat had to finally kill you.

[@ucheakpunku1654]

[@ashtonfox8198]

Mad respect that he didn’t show us how to make the trap just to give another KZbinr credit

[@rainbowturtle]

Quick little theory- some bosses have projectiles that can hit you on the backs of some creatures. If you have multiple players, one can take a yuty, and one can take an amarga for things like the King Dinopethicus fight where minions throw stuff at the player, due to the player being always on the right side, with the amarga giving a little protection from those projectiles

[@alexlapointe2736]

You got me back into ark😁

[@_Ari__.]

The person who came up with that taming mechanic is psychopath 🤣

[@Manu_Ciao05]

The arthropleura might be able to destroy the spikes if its considered a building. Arthros are able to destroy every tier of building so the spikes may be considered metal tier or tek.

[@mikewilliamson6288]

If the collapse in the wall is 12 o’clock, there is a hive against the inner town wall around 9-10 ish to the right and down from the main gate. When I’m working in the base I just set a reoccurring timer for 15 minutes and go give it a whack with my Direbear.

[@LeoTheYuty]

Epic Captain Fatdog moment

[@SimgoYT]

I have been waiting form the beginning of the series for syntax to tame amargasaurus

[@jeremiahhouser2769]

What I figured out with the Amarga is that the switching modes is actually a secret attack and does pretty good damage

[@ducky2379]

Yeah, according to the wiki, it does the most damage out of all of its melee attacks. How strange.

[@milehighfishing4446]

Hey Syntac! Yes, you can find amargasaur bp's from loot drops. I recently picked up a 69.9 journeymen bp and was rather excited about it. Cheers mate.

[@josephparks7628]

Jesus, I don't think I'll ever tame one of those if that's how long and how hard it takes to tame it. Holy crap.

[@Stingray_07]

The three words that do not belong in a sentence together: Taming, Amargasaurus, easy

[@lordswampy2837]

I tried using the same trap. I spent probably 3 hours trying to find a good level Snow Owl, 5 minutes on the trap, 15 minutes to lure a Daeodon into the trap and another 5 minutes clearing out the area enough to lead the Amarga to the trap safely. It was going well until a pack of Dire Wolves spawned right in front of me and murdered the 145 Amarga. RIP. Oddly enough I flew over to the desert, found a 150 and 100% efficientive it by just running around shooting Thorny Dragons and Mantis with it. Maybe I’ll try the trap again some other time

Someone as experienced as Syntac should really know that with 180 being the max level, everything 164+ is a good level. Max lv. on my server is 300 and everything 260+lv. is worthy of taming, a 164 can easily have better stats then a 180.
