Taming my First Sinomacrops! - ARK Lost Island [DLC E3] 

Remember, this is my first time taming one, mistakes are easily made 💻 5% Off PC's with Code Syntac ➜ bit.ly/SynApex

Here a list of what to do when taming a sinomocrops 1. Don’t run 2.don’t jump 3. Don’t approach it let it approach you 4.clear area of predators Reasons: if you run to it it will get frightened you have unlimited time to feed it so don’t rush, it will come all the way to you. When you see the hearts don’t move at all, cause when it lands it will approach you to where you can feed it.

I'm inclined to agree with you on the Sinomacrops. I was initially disappointed about getting another shoulder pet (I rarely use anything other than glow pets these days because I don't have to carry a torch), but the Sino is quickly shaping up to be my new favorite. They're cute, they're useful, and I can't wait to breed them for all the best colors!

Keep the helmet On the sinomacrops and name him "bomber" lol he looks like an Ole timey bomber pilot! It's adorable!

If you press X instead of C, which does the glider, that's how you can manually activate the Sinomacrops "parachute" function that you also found when it ran out of stam

From what I've heard, sinomacrops hate being crowded, so following them around just makes them run away. They can still find you around 100m away.

Two videos in a span of a couple hours, man life just doesn't get better than this 🖤

When taming a sinomacrops, dont run. You have to walk up step by step slowly, and as soon as you see the hearts( when you already fed once, look at the meter under the taming tracker, the hearts appear around 40-35 meters) dont move. The sinimacrops will walk right up to your feet when u dont move, and after you fed it, wait until its around 60 meters away before you follow it carefully.. I tested it a lot, and i messed up my first few tames too before i realized that. So please like so everyone can see this!

In preparation for you flying around with him using a minigun, he should be named A-10 or Warthog. Or rather since he's your "Wingman" call him Goose.

it feels like you post 3 30 minute vods everyday and i am always excited seeing an upload from you

Who needs any other flying creature when you have one of these lol that is so cool wildcard has done it once again love the vid syntac 🤩

So what I noticed with taming the Sinomacrops is, that if you sneak, it won't fly away once landed unless a wild predator is nearby.

You have to be really passive with them. Ive tamed quite a few of them now and they seem to come to you when you're within 30-40 meters. DONT RUN, if you run they spook really easily. Don't even punch the air, they're really skittish. Let them walk up to you, then slowly walk the remaining distance once they stop to feed them. They'll fly away, walk a bit away as well til they're about 60 meters or more away, wait about 10-20 seconds then approach again, they should come up to you again. Rinse and repeat and it should be tamed in no time! Another thing I've noticed is damage will make them lose taming progress but not effectiveness. So if they start to starve they'll slowly lose taming process. But if something like a cargo hits them once they'll lose it all instantly. Oh also idk if you know Syntac, but pressing X when falling will make the Sino act like a Parachute, like when it ran out of stamina when you tried to fly up the tower. As an extra bonus, its stamina can regenerate when doing so.

Syntac it seems crazy but you might actually hit 1 mil before the end of the year. Your subs are boosting like crazy. I went to bed last night and you had 984k subs. Now this morning your have 987k. You literally gained like 3k in one night !!

2 episodes in a day let's go! Love this series Syntac!

Syntac: "your probably not gonna be fine" The mosh: hehe I'm in danger :)

Damn Syn really shooting up in subs ever since lost island dropped, he's gonna hit 1 mil any day now.

The sino is so cute and so fun. I'm definitely going to be breeding them for colors

Syntac: that spider will end up killing me! Also Syntac: was already killed once by the aforementioned spider and is jumping off a cliff followed by it...

Wow your sub count is skyrocketing in the last few weeks, Syntac! Grats on a million, looks like you are gonna make it by Christmas!!! Happy holidays to all!

I like how entertaining Syntacs videos are

Him uploading this much means he really likes this series

When I run this map, I'm gonna import some floaty crates and breed a really good Syncrops, so I can just wander the isle and occasionally mail stuff back home.

Tip for sinamocrops. If you double tap jump the sinamocrops will do a quick short burst upwards. Very helpful for gaining altitude

Woohoo! I can't wait to finally make a treehouse base with these.

2 minutes in and already laughing so hard I almost peed. Loving this series.

i honestly dont know what this game is and what u do but you do things so orderly and it’s so satisfying

Since it’s red and black name it Deadwing (Deadpool and Wing) Oh by the way Syntac if you put the clap emote on a hotkey you can use that to trigger the sino scream quickly. Also the parachute thing the sino did to save you can be triggered on purpose, I forgot which key tho.

he Sinomacrops is such an awesome companion. He's everything I wanted the archaeopteryx to be, but WAY better.

Rest in peace moschops he didn't even last an episode bless him 😭

It is an excellent way to start out the video! Lots of excitement and drama!

Congratz on 1 Million subs Syntac! You deserve every one of them, amazing content!

Just so you know the sinsmacrops will lightly let you down even if it runs out of stamina doing no damage to the player. Love the content

2 videos in 1 day... Nice Also, the 100 days video reached the top 4 on your most whatched videos

Love 2 videos in one day! Keep the good work up Syn, we love your work! Also name the Sinomacrops Parry Chute :)

Best part of the day is to unwind with Syntac vids!

I am always happy to see 2 videos from Syntac in one day.

Name suggestion: Autumn or Ruby for the colours, amber could work to for under the wings

Damn must of just finished episode 2 when this posted. Thanks for the entertainment. This Lost island map is amazing.

for the last 5 years now ive been watching your content across many platforms and ive enjoyed alot of it, good job on almost hitting 1 mil

Just got my wisdom teeth out, so can’t wait to binge this awesome series!!!

Syn, I've been looking for a sinamacrops for ages like I literally tamed a pt just to look for one either I'm blind or they dont spawn on console yet

man ive watched syntac ever since her had like 50k sub maybe less, and now he's grown so much and almost has a mil subs. keep up the good work m8, we love you

i actually lol'd at 9:30 when your chops took the bola for da team

Syntac hold shift and X while the sinomocrops is on your back it's a parachute

This might be the greatest creature ever added to ark.. Im not big on fantasy creatures in a game like ark but syno is perfect so cute and useful great colors regions probably for breeding.

I looked for hours over there today and gave up! Good for you finding one so fast! I'll try again later haha

Once I got one, I tamed an entire flock of them. So much fun to take out anything made of chitin.

Its so painful watching syn keep walking up to him and scaring him away when he needs to let them come completely to him.

My day off about to watch all these episodes!! Keep them coming syntac!!! 🔥💯

He totally looks like some sinister smile when he's on your back. That's awesome.

I’m going to let you on a little thing I heard about. They attack players using chitin armor, so if you equip a set of chitin you’re essentially a honey trap for the little buggers. I heard you can also lure them into a prebuilt trap by having them case you while you’re wearing chitin into a trap and then passive taming them that way, which they lose agro once you take all the chitin off and you can passive tame them after, so don’t worry about having to get out of their render distance.

Congrats on 1 mil I’ve been here on dif accounts for about 3-4 years still love the content! Keep going

Congrats for getting 1 Million subs! You deserve it for all the hard work you’ve done :)

Most shoulder pets half the weight of items in their inventory, always called them backpacks, but this one has the ability to access it from your shoulder, so it's infinitely more useful.

Something cool happens Syntac: boom Everyone:…. Boom?

I feel like they added the sinomacrops taming style to troll people who are skidish and impatience like syntac cause they knew he'd wanna run up to it the moment it comes to him cause he like to play ark like a speed runner sometimes.

You are so close to 1 Million subs and i can’t wait to see you hit the milestone

Syntacs humor and calmness in the first two mins lmao hello, those are spiders, hey you look a little bit thirsty mr spider lmao

The fact that syntac spooked the synamacrops and he was like nooo the dilo spooked it that was hilarious🤣

Thanks for making me laugh in those strange times syntac much appreciated

I've been watching your vids for a while now and I'd say this was super entertaining

Been watching for years 👍🏾 can always rely on syntac

Love your videos Syntac! Especially the ones with Ark Additions, I wish it was available on console!

X=Parachute mode, Space=Flying, C=Gliding controls like a glider=Hold shift and then look up of down.

rewatching this series in 2023 and it’s making me remember my memories of early LI. making me kind of want to reinstall ark.

Congrats on 1 Million Syntac

lol you found the spider cave I noped out of when I was climbing up to that tower! now I know why I noped out before I saw spiders

So, most shoulder pets have the weight reduction. And it's good too be patient with Sinos. Let it come too you, rushing at them seems tooscare them off. And once they get scared, they are pretty much untameable. If you see one, walk around it slowly. Let it notice you, then let the hearts go. It should turn too you and eventually land and do some cute hops towards you. It should be feedable. Track it and wait for too notice you again. Beware they seem too not like when you have something aggro'd too you or a nearby tame.

Awesome video loving the new series. Name it "Sir screams a lot"

I think taming sinomacrops is like taming cats in minecraft. You need them to come to you and you scare them off when you run into them.

You're a beast. Cranking out 3 episodes in just about 2 days. That's crazy

Wear chitin to attract Sino's. They'll attack, but you can quickly take that armor off. Don't chase them, and do NOT walk towards them when they land. Let them walk to you to be fed, also just put a water well thing at the top of the tower since it rains a lot on this map.

Easy way to tame one without chasing it, you need a few standing torches and a wooden signpost, crouch and wait for one to come to you, don't feed it right away as long as you don't move you can take your time to place the torches around it, the front ones are a bit tricky to get the distance right and need a bit of practise so it can land on the ground when it's ready to eat, try to place them just outside of where it's claws/hands are then place the rest around it, needs about 5 or 6 to cage it in and leave enough room for it to land so you can feed it, place the signpost on one side and rotate it so it goes roughly though the middle (k cam/orbital cam helps) now you can start feeding, it's important that you don't move and stay crouching

Syntac: that spider will end up killing me at some point Me: it already has lol

Great episode, keep up the good work!

You did a awesome job love all of the vids!!

Fun fact: you can also do the light up emote to make the sino scream and if you run out of stam in the air it will turn into a slightly faster parachute.

Love the series...it's addicting

To answer your question, certain mods will completely jack your map and make things out of proportion. I can only think that the mods are built for the Island and thus alter what you see after death.

The swampy rivers around the green ob. Is a good spot for them too

Great Video very helpful and funny as hell :)

I'm kicking myself now. I have watched your vid when you put it out and guess what armor I was wearing when I tried to travel through the jungle. Yep, chitin armor.

I'm loving the LOST ISLAND so far. I just finished upload my first episode of my ETERNAL on the map

Quick uploads i like it

Great colors on that wee CinnaBom lol

I wanna see him called Syntacrops Edit: Yes! I'm so glad he named it something Syntac pun related! imma binge this series to get caught up

CONGRATS ON THE 1MILLION SUBSCRIBERS SYNTAC!!!

That Astek temple you passed over is where I’m building my base and it’s a sinomachops spawn point too

That tower is definitely going to me in my top two base locations! That and the ice castle.

Really loving these daily vids Syntac

Syntac you just made my day, two videos in one day 🤯.

Pausing at 12:43 to say you could try dropping the cage on their head. The tall cage used for people. On this server that has ravens and owls the most effective means of taming them is to drop the cage on their head when they land. then we can keep feeding them through the bars until they're tamed. I think that would work perfectly on these guys.

Wow, 2 videos in one day, thanks syntac, I'm super grateful for the videos it puts a smile on my face every time I watch one. [: stay positve

I’m glad you did that in the basement of the tower so I won’t have too… I had my base outside in the tower on the modded map but hadn’t checked the caves but I saw all the dots lit up with a parasaur

This was so heartbreaking to watch lol. I obviously scared mine away first tame too but it only took me 1 scare to realize and not 50. Oh well with mistakes comes mastery

Guess the Sinamacrops is now a personal backpack. Like that’s a bit OP to be clear, it will probably get needed pretty soon if it’s gonna replace the Glide Suit.

Can we just talk about syn having the best number of chitin ever 😂🤣

I live for these my guy

Woah!!!! Double upload!
