As others mentioned (and I double-checked the footage from E24 and verified), the last place the longneck rifle showed up was on the old Nova, now named 3504H 1220S 648W 383M. The last place you see it is at 36:45 in episode 24, if being specific helps.

be careful when fighting bosses. there is now a loot crate with the items. your dinos wont pick it up nor in boss inventory.

22:30 Archaeopteryx - make it a shoulder pet, and automatically deploy a float b4 hitting the ground instead of a "hold its legs to flop in the sky and impede all other actions" Frog - Expand its throat with air to surface faster, or to store bug bodies in to produce more cementing paste over time and a higher amount but slower. Turtle - Gather under water fiber / berries - retract legs and head to slide down hills Megalosaurus - Store a rested buff after being in a sleeping state to make them usable during the day Spider - Produce silk...... Climb walls...... MAKE WEB TRAPS Onyc - Harvest blood Leech - Remove disease from blood of the host its attached to Giganto - use mele weapons.... bc ofc they let the mantis do it, with its lack of fingers or thumbs Phiomia - Garbage disposal that eats anything... Bee's - Promote crop growth through pollination Pelagornis - Dive bomb fishing Eel - Power electronic devices in the area with a limit to energy like the healing of a Daeodon Mammoth - Spray water on crops Megaloceros - Shed antlers for new armor / weapon crafting Microraptor - Stun enemy dinos / Stop being dumb..... :P

Longneck rifle might be still on one of the Argies, from when you did the swamp cave with the frog.

The last time it has been seen, as far as i can tell, is that it is in old nova. when using it to move structure storage you dumped all into him. Then later you took his saddle and rifle was still in there

I love how we come out for an oviraptor and we find a pair of spinos 😂😂

@Syntac I think the egg buff does require wandering. After you disabled it, the argys didn't lose the buff immediately, but they started losing it by the time you reenabled it. The buff is likely time based and it decayed just before you reenabled it.

I'm pretty sure the last time i saw you use the longneck was during the penguin taming/massacre i also think you left it on the true nova not this imposter you're flying now. That said i'm sure you'll find better in a loot drop or cave supply cache.

23:37 Syntac places Oviraptor down. Seconds later, *bird noises intensifies* the Argys had a lot to complain about🙂

syntac getting amazed by ovirapters ability part-10000

I'm surprised no one else has commented this, but the oviraptor's pickup range depends on its overall level, not its melee stat. The RU-vidr 'Doth' has a really great, in-depth video on it. Whenever you decide to breed oviraptors, the type of mutation won't matter, which should hopefully make it a lot easier to start stacking them.

Oviraptor range is determined by the level of the Dino, melee stat doesnt matter, just the overall level of the dino. So the higher level oviraptor the further it can pick up!

love the quote at 32:48 "We just sit on them and we blast ass, with the stim berries..." that made my day. thank you Syntac for your nuggets of gold you surprise us with.

11:25 That fish reminds me of the 3.6x Coel I saw that was so big it couldve swallowed me whole

The real Nova ate your Longneck, as payback xD

Yo Syn, and a PSA for everyone else, points in melee don’t actually increase ovi range more than any other stat. The range is determined by overall level (I opt to level up HP although it really doesn’t matter much)

Last time I remember seeing the long neck was on the old Nova

Spinos are my favorite dinosaur, even before ARK. When I saw them in ARK it just reaffirmed it for me, and then when they got the water buff was like christmas. Can't wait to see you get those nice Spinos :D

I’ve never been caught up and waiting on a series to drop by the episode like this. Keep up the great work man 🫡

Melee doesn't matter for oviraptors, it's just the level that matters

Props to you and the boys for keeping the series as vanilla as possible seeing these bases. I didn't play much vanilla ark in the beginning and forgot how painful the vanilla stacks were so I caved and got the stacking mod for my server

I love the fact that Syntac really wanted those Spinos. I would say get the kibble and go for them so you can tank other tames. I'm not sure what dino you would need for the kibble maybe a Thery? You could tame another ovi-raptor and build an egg base near where they spawn.

Glad to see oviraptors becoming more useful in this game. They're one of my favorite dinosaurs, but they always seem to get overlooked by dino-franchises.

i would love that scorpions and snakes allowed you to harvest a stronger form of narcotic from their fangs or inventory

I think Moschops need an update, don't get me wrong, they're great. Collecting meat and berries to fill up a feeding trough is helpful, but if they could have something that turns their inventory into a feeding trough for the other dinos. Or any other creature that collects both meat and berries. It would be great!

I think the Iguanodon should be able to collect the crops from the plots so you don’t have to do it yourself, like with S+

Syntac please tame those Spinos. I need to see some epic Syntac Spino Mutations!

Today it was raining hard here and i was super bored so this vidio really cured my bordem 😊

I'd love to see a bunch of little mutation projects for things like Oviraptors and other creatures you'd have around the base, sort of like ornaments with function. Especially since a lot of them are probably fairly quick breeds! Even just for color mutations, for some of the creatures. (I say that hypocritically as someone who always ends up breeding for stats, anyway, even when I tell myself I only need colors. This is how I have level 350+ Jerboas on ASE...)

When you start exploring underwater stuff if you reduce the shadow setting to low or medium you can see very clearly (might be better for youtube)

one thing i noticed is the range that is shown by the Oviraptor when you enable the ability to see it is just the range for what dinos are more likely to lay eggs while the actual egg collection range is a medium size.

You could just have the spinos in the background. Waiting for when you are ready to use them. As far as more features to old creatures that aren't full tlcs. Here's a few. - crop collecting and fertilizer distribution. Maybe a Gigantopithecus could assist in this process. - Pachyrhino: this is based on the kbd version but with different things. The idea is simply using an attack wheel to give the Pachyrhino some new gas attacks. Even just reusing the trike charge as a more blunt and knocback focused attack, and the trike frill resistance would fit nicely. I think my favorite idea with this concept was allowing the Pachyrhino to eat any soups and other consumables without negative effects and disperse a reduced effect as a cloud of gas. Some ideas: - Soap: inflict food poisoning and blinding on nearby targets. Lowering food. - focal chili: nearby dinos and players receive a 15-20% speed bonus (as opposed to the 25% offered by player eating) and a crafting speed bonus of 75% (as opposed to 100%) for a duration of 5-7 minutes (as opposed to 15 minutes) - propellant: a combustible gas is released that explodes after a few seconds scaling damage with oxygen or melee. - organic polymer: this creates a slick plasticy disk at the release point. If lit on fire this realeas toxic gases similar to the genesis volcano vents. - honey: this releases a sticky conjuction that slows targets in the cloud and attracts bugs to them. - med brew: releases a healing cloud that directly heals 80 health to nearby dinos. With a balanced cooldown as to not make daedon obsolete. - beer: for 1 minute all allies in range get boosted resistance, and the general effects of beer. But for 30 seconds after the hangover effect is also applied to creatures. Food items like berries, meats, kibbles, vegetables, veggie cakes, and eggs have no effects. Custom recipes provide 50% of their effects when used. Water used on creatures gives a quench to fire or sticky residues like resin. (Okay maybe this is more tlc, but im still gonna leave it here because i like it a lot) - Troodon scouting should sync up with the POI system so marked things can be pinged on the map. Troodon should also be able to be picked up as shoulder pets but thats a lesser issue. - scorpion: araneo, titanoboa, and pulmonoscorpius should all be able to be milked for venom. To make better arrows and darts. Scorpions should also have some basic dexterity in their attacks. Attack 1 just claws. Atttack 2 just tail Attack 3 or charged attack 1 pick up a dino in the claws or drop it. The torpor they deal should also be boosted. Surpassing at least a basic crossbow. - rhynio: they should actually get the special arthro enzyme mentioned in the dossier. The one that makes the resin destroy tek.

Syntac, lets grab some oviraptors. Ark, lets throw him some of the best things he ever gonna see

I'm obsessed with the doedic with the yellow spikes, I wouldn't change any other colours they looks so cool together! Although I do love the pink toenails on the other one 💅😆

Just finished the entire video another certified classic by syntac (trust me bro)

Argies can act like a mobile taming cage for small creatures. You can hold them in your beak and knock the creatures out while the argy is holding them. It also makes otter taming trivial. :)

Queen bee in bee form - dispense fertiliser to crops if wandering. Lystro - Provide multiple buffs, even if for a sure period when petted.

All the spare fertilizer??? - fill Jim's storage spaces with fertilizer! Everything! Infact, fill all players with fertilizer! Imaging their faces hahaha

It's great that some of the creatures now have the features from S+ such as auto egg gathering. The Phiomia should provide the healing pork it provided in Creatures+. That would give the Phiomia back a useful purpose again.

Syntac remember the dungbeetle next to your forge, shouldn't you move it closer to your dino's to collect poop for fertilizer?

Your old base would make a really nice hunting lodge. You could put all of your trophies, artifacts and taxidermies in there.

Love how landing on a feathery head will hurt you but landing on a dodic's spike cushions your fall.

Syntac could you make a new breeding and mutation tutorial for Ark Survival Ascended?

The yellow spikes on the doedic make it look like a Pokémon

Rifle on the other argie from when you lost your frog n had to fly back

Thank you for uploading today. I needed a pick me up. Just found out my grandma is Covid positive because my piece of trash mother intentionally exposed us to it. I haven’t been tested but I have symptoms so we’ll see. 💙💙💙 Always excited to see your videos.

"Blast ASS" Is my new Fav saying :) I cracked up laughing when i heard Syntac Say it :) LOL

You can actually stack fridges in ASA. You need to put a vertical pillar on top-behind the row on fridges and you can place a fridges in front of them. There's a ytp vid showing it it's named ''Stack Refrigerator's In ARK Survival Ascended! No Mods!''

The ark gods were telling him to tame the two spinos

ark gods really wants you to tame those spinos

You should start your hit man business like in the vanilla sprinkles server

The Dimetrodon has always been able to work as a sort of AC unit, they should work if we put eggs into them they automatically incubate.

You can tame multiple oviraptors and build a 1x1 box leave them close to high population areas to get eggs . Thank Mr.Soss in next video 😅

Phiomia could grant a buff to things around it, to slow down/speed up their hunger rates/how much/often they eat. Works on wild and tamed critters. Help tame stuff, or help slow down the emptying of food bins.

"The higher their melee stat" someone did some testing, it's just level. Oviraptors range only cares about what level it is. Health, oxygen, weight. Doesn't matter.

Making a creature able to craft stuff so you could queue it to craft using storage would be pretty interesting I think, so you don't have to make it by hand or gather all materials on your own inventory.

You can build an egg separator/spreader machine for when you need to throw out dozens of eggs and don't want them all landing on the one spot. Like pinball or one of those arcade things. Did you do this before? I wish they brought the whip to the island. Such an important item to be left out, especially because of the snow and tek caves 😢

Syntax (always) “maybe you see it but I don’t” Me *watching in 1 pixel image* “no, I don’t see it”

Great vid man. I would say the way to go is have 2 oviraptors - 1 collecting the non-fertilized eggs, one the fertilized eggs. Make them a mater pair and you are good to go. ;)

Hey Syntac, how about having 2 Oviraptors, 1 for Unfertilized Eggs and the other for Fertilized Eggs and have the fert one close to the hatchery?

Can’t wait for crystal isles and aberration in this game, going to look so good in ue5

Ok, so you should fly over to Axeman's base, telling him you will give him a present, all suspicious, then just drop the pink and purple doedic for him (he will love the colors). Kind of a thank you for staying away from the spinos! You can do the same with one of the useless wolves for Evo. Not sure what Jimbob would like or need that you have, he has three argies, no wolves and lost his carno (but I don't think you have a spare). He's not picky so whatever you give him would be perfect! No idea where your good rifle is, no one would take it as they know you use and need them.

Maybe your long neck is in the inventory of the old nova?

you should just hatch hundreds of unwanted eggs in axeman's base

Default used to be 3 IRL days before they will "age out". I'd still get a few Ovi for different eggs. Fert vs non-fert. Phiomia ae great for meat like Ovis now. Use a few Quarter walls, ceilings and the ramps. The steep angle will cause babies to drop a bit. or just remove the ramps once the doeds are on the 1/4 roofs. A breeding chelf was always useful. Hatch frames and shelves in ASE where nice too.

Petition for syntac to tame that spino

Dudes so good at the game he could tame the whole ark in 1 day

Love the vids, and fortunately the oviraptor increases range per level, it does not have to be melee.

I swear idk why but i'm getting the nostalgia of just starting to play ark watching these vids.

a cool name for a future wolf could be "coldfeet" if their feet are blue. 2:44

‘Blast ass with the stim berries’😂 Classic 😂

OG Nova is holding your rifle hostage until he gets his name back lol

Axe is gonna steal your cloths 😂 be ready

i prefer the pronouncing if the oviraptor over how you call them tape jars LOL XD keep up the good work, I look forward to your vidson ascended. Got me hyped to buy it when I wasnt really wanting to.

So nobody else saw that lvl 247 argy? 😅

9:51 I would die if Syntac’s longneck is in that box.

I think it’d be cool if a dodicoerus could grind material. Maybe make it give you less than a grinder, but would still be neat and fairly useful

Got the mission: tell other guys to tame that pair of spinos lol.

Hey Syn I love your vids, they are by far the most informative and creative are videos on the tube. Do you think you could make a new video about how to breed on vanilla ? it would help me out alot

i think it was figured out that oviraptor melee doesnt affect range it is just the overall level of the little guy.

I like how they made some s+ structures incorporated into the dinos

Quote of 2023, "It's a 110. That is a little over 100." Waxing nostalgic Ben Stiller, "You made me bleed my own blood."

A good change in general that would indirectly make the Phiomia better, which I'm somewhat taking from the Kraken's Better Dinos mod, is to implement more meat types. In KBD, the Phiomia and Daeodon are the only creatures that drop "High Protean Meat", which can be used to heal carnivores more quickly. The mod also give's the Ovis' butcher mechanic to the Phiomia, where you get more of this meat with a higher HP Phiomia. If balanced right, this could make the Phiomia a valuable farm animal, which you'd essentially keep as a "cow" to have a constant supply of high quality food. KBD also makes it so the Phiomia can somewhat rarely harvest some crops and rare mushrooms from bushes (It only gathers 2 of the 4 crops, the Gigantopithecus can get the other 2), alongside having a higher chance at gathering Stim/Narco Berries and Fiber than usual. Admittedly, this bonus was a bit strong, so perhaps they could restrict it to a unique right click that has it sniff around, which will randomly enhance and mark a nearby area/bush (a similar bonus to the Ichthyornis').

i'm so used to playing ASE with BD in that I wasn't aware/forgot the oviraptor worked differently before.

8:35 (not a comment most people are going to care about, but...) those 2 different ways you've pronounced Oviraptor are BOTH correct. Regardless of which way (between those two) any of us pronounce that dino name, it is close enough that you can just call it a difference in dialect (like how the word "banana" is pronounced differently between American and British English speakers. Both are correct and can be considered as interchangeable pronunciations.

Seeing Syn with un-dyed armor has me unsure as to whether he found a better piece in a drop or that the clothing goblin known as Axe got to him.

I think your long neck rifel is in the on-off your argi

I think frogs making cementing paste out of chitin only would be awesome

I had an entire gear set despawn. It might've be because I created folders in my inventory to clean it up a bit but it hard to tell in EA.

It’s been interesting to see how many changes are similar or exactly what the Krakens Better Dino’s mod did. The oviraptor and dung beetle are both examples of that

Going back to the old ways of Ark makes you really miss all of the quality of life that cryopods brought to the game

i don't play ark but i love this series keep it up

Dolphins should have an effect where if you have more than 1 close to each other in a fight underwater, they debuff other underwater creatures with Echo reverberations. Disorient enemies by pinging and clicking. It's actually a real ability dolphins have when they find threats like sharks.

I wonder how this is gonna work with wild wyvern eggs, cus now I'm really excited to see Syntac steal wyvern eggs with oviraptors again!

You should do a dino derby or a gauntlet or something with all the extra tames.

Just had my dodo plush arrive today from your extra life stream in 2020 😂😂 Harold shall be very much looked after 😊 thanks Syntac 👌

An Argent return to home function would be soo awesome. Imagine fast traveling between main base and south base. Grabbing a bunch of stuff you need from southern region, take the Argy back to main base and turn on the return to home function on the argy. Then after a few minutes you can fast tavel back south and your argy would be there waiting on you.

I think the phiomias should dig up mushrooms or rare items like a pig with truffles

Ovis have an ability when set to wonder to trim all the shrubbery in an area. And passively collect berries. Just nice to keep the grasses down around the base.
