This is actually true, you can get an infinite amount of high level rock drake eggs too. If you render distance the nest that holds the high level egg fast enough before it de-spawns a new high level egg spawns in.
Yi Ling are actually REALLY easy to use once you figure out how to use them and are actually pretty useful for knocking out anything that isn't tiny/small.
Some tips for the Yi Ling:
1) You can launch yourself further up into the air after jumping off of a surface that you are latched onto so that you can get even more air time.
2) You can latch onto surfaces without gliding by just simply running up to the surface and latching.
3) You can auto-latch during a glide by sprinting into a latch-able surface.
4) When you're trying to use the Sedate feathers you actually don't want to be trying too too hard to hit the target. What you want to do instead is mainly focus on your gliding and do strafing runs because dinos will commonly stop doing aggro sprints towards you if you're too high for them to possibly hit(typically at least several meters) so you just glide towards them while spraying feathers, either just circle back around for another run(which will give your feathers plenty of time to refill) or latch onto a surface if you feel like you need some more height, then just repeat the process until you get the meter full, but, before doing your Rupture, I do recommend seeing about latching onto a surface before diving in if you can since this will refill your Dash so that when you do Rupture and it pushes you back up into the air you can do a Dash which will give you double the normal height you get after doing Rupture.
In order to learn how to control a Yi Ling decently well you just have to be patient and practice a bit as using Yi Ling requires some level of patience, but is very worthwhile once you've figured it out.
That is good to know. A shame the next map is probably gonna be extinction which has nearly nothing but the ground and open skies to the south and nothing but gigas and hills to the north. Not a great environment for something that even vaguely relies on walls or cliffs for mobility
Granted the city and its tall buildings might offer some good height to glide to the dome biomes
Tysm for the tips. as someone who uses Yi Ling as my main way of travel(no Bob's Tall Tales & maybe its just me but Rock Drakes seem either more difficult to use or are just more buggy) i had no clue about point 2. Definitely gonna have to add that to my movement
Yeah, Yi's definitely a mount that takes a but of practice to get the hang of. The beast quickly become one of my favorite mounts so bloody fun to use.
That sarco must have been giggling in its scales planning that ambush, awesome intro to the video 😂
Syntac if you go back to the center series and try beating the boss, you should actually use spinos since there is a layer of water which will give them a hydration buff (you should test with an army of spinos and rexes to see which is better for the boss)
I made a teleporter in the redzone for poly/metal/gems and for shits and giggles I dropped a bunch of yi lings as base defense, and they actually do a good job of killing reapers
Damn, those feathers have some range on them. If the YiLing would fire them from the ground, just whipping its tail up and over like a scorpion, then the creature would be MUCH better
But that would be unbalanced, plus being able to mount on a wall basically has the same effect
@@THE_RATKING69 I would say if you still need to glide to do the dive bomb from a sufficient height maybe that would balance
@@WiseOakDakota agreed, and the travel range for the dive bomb it’s hilarious. I’ve fallen off a cliff using them and he dive bombed UP to hit the creature.
As someone who loves using the Yi Ling to the point I’m working on making an ultimate one through mutation & genes, it’s kinda sad to me Syntac doesn’t like it. I actually use the Yi ling as my main source of travel(though keep in mind I don’t use Bobs Tall Tales so no cosmo & I don’t know if I just can’t use them anymore but Rock Drakes feel way more buggy to use then they used to be)
@@azura9801 I mean Cosmo doesn't exactly have the damage output of Yi. Not to mention it's just generally safer being on a mount than on-foot.
@@azura9801 It's a matter of opinion really. I have pretty much zero use for Cosmo on Ab since he doesn't act like a light pet. I'd rather fly around on a Yi Ling and have a light pet on my shoulder to keep Nameless away. I find the Yi Ling a lot more fun to use as well, you can get amazing aerial views on a Yi Ling by slow gliding around.
@azura9801 cosmo is a paid creature and not everyone bought the dlc. So, the Yi ling is still a useful mount for most players :)
And I agree with who says that being on a mount is safer 😅 I'm so scared to walk on my feet around Aberration 🤣
But I hope to buy the dlc. It worth also for what it has been added. Yes, I'm looking at that gene thing! It's wonderful! Oh, and the zeppelin and the linked storage 👀
Jim has a lovely lady Basilisk, she's Jims favorite Dino & he might be willing to Trade some Honey for Eggs, he's still hunting that honey, ease the mans suffering lol
Also, when the Yi Ling is on follow & stuff defending you, does it fly around, shoot & dive on things or after tame does that Require a rider?
Could be a good defensive guy for personal or base if it did still do that without a rider. Though I have a feeling it requires a rider.
I appreciate you trying to use spinos. They are so common on this map, but no one (except the revenant Becca Darkedge) uses them here. It’ll be really cool to see a super mutated aberrant spino
😂 stepped on shrooms non stop pooping 😂 can never get old specially when on foot being followed by packs of wilds
Yay Spinos! Mid 40's is about the best I've run across on spinos myself except of course for food which is at 47 currently. You may want to try taming 135+ At least they're a lot easier to get on Ab as opposed to The Island. I also find it disappointing that they aren't a higher kibble tier.
Yi Ling needs to stop attacking every freaking creature when wild. It makes no sense that it would be such an aggro creature towards larger dinos for no reason. They should only attack smaller things or maybe just a singular prey
I mean, they're able to circle and fly away from their targets. While not being top of the food chain or an "apex" of any kind, i feel like they'd be cocky enough to be one of those aggressive dinosaurs just bc they can. Of course, it's a game, so 🤷
Birds can be cocktail assholes 👍
tier 3 Vampiric is pretty crazy for cave mounts.... I have a fully imprinted baryonyx I've been using to farm the swamp cave - I have a little over 10k health on it and the rest of the points in melee.... I always come out of the swamp cave full health now... before it was always half health...
Watching your videos drunk is so funny
Im visiting Ireland next year, what region shoud i visit?
Spinos are underrated. Need a hp buff but are absolutely op for just going on a rampage for tributes and alphas.
Traits are exactly what I expected mutations were going to be back when they were first announced.
Hey there Syntac, we thoroughly enjoy your videos so keep up the good work!! Just wanted to say that a Yi Ling can be useful for acquiring you first Rock Drake egg as they are immune to radiation. Found that out personally myself and my 1st Rock Drake served me well until I was able to do some breeding. Not sure if you guys were aware of that but I just thought it would be good info just in case!! :)
Second on the comments that you need to breed Yi Lings to have a decent one. You can get reasonable weight on them and even run the surface or bosses with them. But you have to get a few high-stats and imprint.
Likely your basic tamed Yi Ling was not doing much torpor to that Spino, but an imprinted one can single tap a lot of targets and quickly knock out very large creatures with no risk to the rider.
Sadly, Yi Ling are one tame that requires a lot of skill to use.
Not really, there are some traps that make it really easy. But I agree, imprinting makes it so much better, honestly kinda broken for abb.
When r u going to tame rock drakes ?
After the horrendous ordeal of trying to tame my Yi Ling (3 others spawned and joined in the fun) I really love it. I use it to go everywhere and put a fighter in a poke ball for when I need it.
Ive been using Karkinos to grab the yi lings and take them to a taming pen. And yeah they're great, especially against reapers with the DoT nameless feather. Imprinted and high melee with angry traits, sooo much damage.
Syntac, Megalosaurus are amazing for drake egg armies!
That moment at 30:15 reminds me of a certain meme that I won’t mention. Just missing one spino and it would’ve been perfect 😂
"Allot of you guys were telling me that I should have tamed that fatty 3 baryonyx, and you're absolutely right, that was a good trait"
Kills a spino with mutable melee 2
You can continuously web jump if you tap your web on something and then look back to the direction you wanna go and web jumb again. It will is up your web ammo so it's not infinite.
Honestly seeing spoilers of the other guys builds makes me think about them and makes me curious about their series and honestly I probably wouldn’t watch them if it weren’t for that. Not because I don’t like the other guys or anything but TH-cam is much more likely to recommend you
I swear, its like the ARK programming is set to be more likely to dump taming bonus points into Melee.
8:53 Both Spino and Fasola take exceptional kibble, yet their eggs only count as superior. Definitely something I hope gets changed, it just don't make sense ya' know?
Best Yl Ling attacks ... Change the Feather Type to what you need, then whistle Attack Target and watch it attack like a pro, on its own.
JUSTICE FOR THE YI-LING🗣🗣🗣
Looks like you can shoot while mounted on a Yi Ling, would be great for that.
Awesome video, congrats
kind of funny how the "brown mushrooms" help in some specific cases was that an accident or on purpose the colour of those mushrooms
ifs the name of that DIno Lingchi if so its translated losely to something like death from a thousand cuts , I think that for this Dino it should mean it will take 1000 cuts to do anything to other dinos lol
The brown mushrooms help against the drowning hallucinations and the aquatic (a blue color) helps against the freezing in the blue zone. Not sure if there are more hallucination effects. If you eat them, you get a shield effect on your effect bar that will tell you what they shield you from.
i suggest messing with yi ling more, they are super fast to get around with
I can 100% agree with that, it's my main travel mount. sadly he seems addicted to Cosmo travel
Great video keep up the good content!
hey syntac how do you get the dino levels to go up in 5s? i can only find lvl 2-36s D:
you need to change the settings in game. Syntac plays with the max levels at 5, with is the official server settings. by default it is lower.
Look up a guide for the level settings, I can’t remember off the top of my head exactly which slider effects that but you can easily find videos on it
It’s a little mistake new ark players make when they first join ark. Just go to settings, select game rules and turn on “Max difficulty”. If your on official the max level on wild creatures is 150 ( except for special egg stealing creatures: wyverns/rock drakes/ magmasaur.etc which is 190 )
Also turn off Single Player Settings.
That nerfs the game so it's playable without needing to increase rates/decrease times.
That bottle on Yi Ling saddle definitly carries some special liquor, since people in china love to use it to drink alcohol when they are traveling on foot.🤣
This was really nice saddle design Wildcard.
Is there a mod list anywhere of what you guys are using?
18:37 geez, seeing that at 2x speed scared me a little😄
To be fair, Spiderman has webs from both hands, easier to monomer around :D
Not liking the Yi Ling because its hard to control sounds like a skill issue tbh. Love the video btw XD
Lol Skill issue or just not bothering to spend a little time to try. I do admit that I feel they could use a bit more weight, but it took me probably less then a half hour of practice using it to get the hang of it and it's now my favourite Ab creature to run around on.
Its kinda like the Rex triangle on Scorched, except not a triangle lol.
YEEESSSS HE TAMED A SPINOOOO!!!!🤩🤩🤩🤩😎
I still want them to make trophy drops useful beyond just boss fights. Also brains and Sacco skin to make riot gear, argy talons to make grappling hooks, Tito lungs for forges, etc.
How do you add that dino depot mod on curseforge, I can't find any videos to add curseforge mods in ark
watching you kill that mutable meelee spino hurt my soul....
Can you please tell me what mods are you using??
For the crab just use the gigaraptor to find a high level baby and then get the full bonus
Try Rock Drake eggs for high tier kibble, working on ps
george of the jungle not tarzan lol love the vids
What mod is used to see the points to know if has a high stat for each category
can you do a mod list i cant seem to find any of the mods you are using
Even tho they're kinda weird I hope you do Yi Ling mutations
Spinos they completely nerfed in Asa. Also give the yi king a weight buff because you need a lot of weight on ab
Well for yi ling it’s balancing, imagine such an early creature that’s already so good at travel having high weight. All the threat of Abberation would kinda just be gone. Plus you can fix the problem by simply imprinting it to get higher weights.
@@THE_RATKING69 it’s lvl 50 for the saddle so it’s not exactly early
@@alexciesielski1840 level 50 is quite early, plus it doesn’t take level 50 to tame, breading even low level to kill the babies gets quite fast exp too.
Awesome video
Rock drakes give extraordinary kibble just breed rockdrakes and get a ton of eggs
Oof bad luckvwith the spinos. Hope one with good stats does eventually spawn.
I got lucky with my spino’s finding a 135 then after going through the river a couple times I found another 135 of the opposite gender. Then had a 140 despawn, found & got another 140 and then bred them to go & my first ever rock drake egg.
20:13 me too brother, me too 😔
I tamed a max lvl iguanadon and it came out with 61 points in melee. Super excited
The yi ling makes rock drake runs extremely easy, but it is less satisfying
Jim has a Basalis, he does need honey.......... Hint Hint
I for the life of me cannot figure out how to get the traits onto a creature. I would love a "How To" for this. It's frustrating me cause I've gone and gathered a bunch of traits and I can't transfer them to creatures.
What creature is that 5:27, i haven't played ark of in a minute
What's after aberration; Ragnarök {which I never had of} or Extinction
you should call the Spino Tricycloplots.
Was so pissed last night when I found a Vampiric 2 spino and when I started tranqing it, it picked a fight with a karkinos and died.
It got nerfed across the board. Many players are really upset, they also did it quietly
Please play primal fear again
It’s changed a lot and I think it would make a good series
Which is better? Narcoberries or biotoxin --to keep creatures out for longer... (random question 😅)
I believe bio, like narcotics, raises torpor fast whilst berries is a slow rise, to keep it unconscious berries, but to quickly re-raise torpor bio.
7 seconds in is crazy damn
Just swing down on Jasper to get rock drakes....
I got one today also you should have called it
spina colada
I feel bad for jasper bc syntac always calls him by his government name
2.5x tame? we play 3x and rarely have to actually use kibble for anything. Herbivores maybe before the Archelon comes at least.
What's your starvation?
My server is also 3x taming (granted, we also have Diff 10, which means max wild is 300/370 for egg tames like Drakes)
And while yea you can berry tame, kibble is still very handy and needed
I love your videos I been watching them since I was ten but so I can comment I have to make a new account
Spinos are far better for red zone. Far few things aggro to you than Megas
how you get a cosmo hat?
Wait theirs an option to kill them??
pre goated video
all spinos can breath well give them a katana theyll make new breathing techniques
official servers are unplayable,lag is crazy and i get screen froze for 30 seconds every step :( on pretty good new pc.
Syntac if your seeing this pls create a beautiful dire bear pls
Yes Evo released a video about his location build that's not where he wanted to build but Jims water pen is in that spot so he moved there. Just found out tonight ... you can put Artifacts in the linked storage. So yeah maybe 1 trip to the artifact is enough. Yes Evo made it out of stone. Turn off ally looking they will be less annoying. Yi Ling are flying cockroaches.
It's not Tarzan. Pretty sure it's george of the jungle
Says tarzan quotes george of the jungle
Yi lings need an update !
should i get bobs tall tales?
Hi syntax I think u look at comments I know you don’t like them but I wanted to remind you that mistiuque and the otter from ASE miss you and the gallimimus overlord is watching over you with the sky mammoth that fell😢
The four horsemen of mid stats
George, not Tarzan
Lol, with your breeding and maturing rates it would not matter much even if you would start mutating from level 5 spino.
Hey where’s ep 28?
Crazy how many forced spino spawns there are here
