I went down there on a Karkinos with Ascendant saddle and had an Ascendant pump shotgun. Got a couple good eggs and cleared out all the bad ones. Let my crab tank the Drakes while I shot them. Everything went smoothly except my Fjordhawk died from the radiation 😭
Omg and there's a little sizzling noise and I had no clue that noise was my husband's hawk until his died. I flew as fast as possible back out and mine barely made it.
@@suzylikesit7875 yeah I kept hearing the noise and saw the radiation symbol, kept checking my health and didn't even think about my Fjordhawk cause I thought they had invulnerability while on my shoulder
for how dangerous radiation is it most certainly should be a ten minute timer or longer like 15. shouldnt need 5000 mushroom brews to go exploring in a radiation cave
You can use the desmodus in all the caves, even in caves not on Fjordur. The desmodus is also immune to radiation, and if you have a high enough level it can easily dispatch rock drakes by itself.
He'll just say he "doesn't like to use it in caves cause it's cheesy"....but then we see him use it in most caves all the time. Especially caves he loots over and over 🙄 The hawk seems more "cheesy" then the bat and he uses the hawk ALL THE TIME killing himself to teleport home, even while encumbered. He did both of these things in this episode alone 😏
@@skuzzybuzz293 no idea. That's just how the realms are coded. If you take any flyer to another realm you just can't mount them. But if you enable cave flyers, suddenly you can.
Syntac i have a new series idea. So remember the ultimate ark series where u would go on all the story maps. Can u do that on the custom maps. And in the order that they came out in as well. But u can only bring 2 normal dinos and 1 shoulder pet. Then u can also determine how many episodes u want to do for each map. I think this would be a good series to do until Ark 2 comes out.
Maybe you can use the already built gate as a grand entrance to the main building and have all the other smaller gates for the bridges. Itd save you a few hours of moving walls and the effect would still be great.
Use desmodus, latch onto the side of a rock and use your longneck to tranq the gifs, when it runs away, fly near the ground and shoot it still, when it turns around, go up and latch again. Rinse and repeat. Easy giga taming
thank you for your time and regular uploads! I've found you a couple days ago and now I cant stop watching. please- dont stop what you are doing you are making more people smile than you think
I feel the same way! I’ve been watching Syn for years and I don’t even play Ark anymore yet still look forward to and watch every video. Welcome to the community!
I used to play ark in 2016 with my friend just to found out that we were both so stupid in taming dinos, but we sure had a good time, a good laugh. and watching your videos takes me back to those memories. nice videos, i like them
Hey syntac, quick question for you. How do you feel about blended army's for boss fights? Instead of say, bringing just rexes, bring a mix of rexes raptors Andrew's and such. It makes for a much more enjoyable boss fight
@@RapTapTap69 dope! I've recently found myself using progressively stranger creatures. Just did a floor boss run with 3 karkinos 4 raptors and an Andrew. Tough, but it was fun af
@@GINGERSMASH yeah my friend has a dimorph obsession so he always breeds a death swarm everytime that he starts a new map. He has about 40 or 50 with maxed HP and melee mutations that permanently live in beylas cave set on aggressive. It's hilarious to stroll in, summon beyla, and watch her get eaten alive in like 30 seconds.
So...the eggs in there respawn fast enough, and the cave is large enough that you can just keep running around in circles collecting new eggs. Also, as far as no flyers...the Desmodus can fly everywhere that flyers are not allowed on Fjordur. They are so OP. I just fly over most everything in caves, then pull out a different dino when I get where I need to fight something. I can hang from the ceiling if it needs to recharge stamina. Lastly, I use the bat to aggro dinos and kite them to their death off cliffs into lava, death holes, etc. You can also shoot off the saddle, so I clip on the cliff and shoot tranqs at r-gigas with no worries of death during taming. There is a small bat cave (38x74, behind the waterfall, I believe) that I use to tame my bats, where the bats don't carry you out, and it's not so large that you take fall damage. So I just let them freely tame inside until they are done or gone. Super easy.
When going through this cave i used a spino as for some reason non abborant spinos dont take radiation damage in that cave so they come really in handy
You should get a shadow mane in the next video, I was rewatching some of your older videos and remembered just how overpowered they were, therefore I thought you should get some on this map!
@@jacobsmith8163 Specifically the large Grey rocks. Not the tiny ones or the nameless venom, but any other rock in that cave will give condensed gas and element shards as well as stone and metal.
Me and my friend went down with no hazard suit or mushroom soup. We just used the Andrew's saddle to not take radiation damage and just healed through it when we dismounted to get eggs. Pretty good way to get eggs earlier than intended IMO.
It makes sense gaming mice are corded. It would really suck if the battery died literally mid boss fight, cave run, or in fallout while fighting a murlurker queen.
Red dragon mice are surprisingly great. I don't have the legend, mine is just one with like letters and numbers as a name and two red buttons on the side, but it has lasted me FAR longer than any other mouse. And I've never had driver issues like I always seem to with Razers.
For those of you who don't know this you need to use gigas to fight hati and skoll. You need to target skoll first because hes the weaker one of the two,after hes dead focus on hati after skoll is eliminated, thats how you will be able to defeat those fenrir twins
This cave was fun to raid. If you kill everything and steal all the eggs, you can leave the cave and go right back in and do it all again. At least in single player.
Name: "Hrungnir" aka Big Rock, aka Too Fat for Vents lol The word means brawler in old norse. Hrungnir was also a "stone made giant" defeated by Thor. Theres a wiki about it :)
I don't know how some people still don't know this(including syntac apparently) but except your character and shoulder mount, there isn't a single creature that takes radiation damage on fjordur
Not entirely true. In that deep underwater cavern, at the head of the skeleton, my shadowmane was getting wrecked by radiation damage. I think we have different kinds of radiation coded onto the map
Don't be completely sure on this, but ik for sure that X creatures are immune to radiation, and I believe the R-creatures are too. I remember taking an R giga in there, but memories arent exactly reliable.
I know im late but you should name a group if max mutation dinos after the 9 realms, next challenge is having their color scheme to be of each of the realms aspects
I just did the ice worm cave, got ready to leave. Lagged so bad it made me force Re spawn at my base. I flew back and all my stuff is under the map. I lost my griffin and allo because I had them in a crying pod. Too rub salt in the wound, I’m on official fml
Nice, I just tamed a 180 and a 168 R-Gigas on the Gen2 map. Haven't been able to find them on Fjordur despite multiple dino wipes and haunting their spawns, but the 180 and the 168 I found should make some nice baby gigas for me after I transfer them.
I have a Redragon keyboard and it's absolutely amazing in performance, and the rgb color customization is awesome as well. I have mine set where each key is a different color but they're all also cycling colors
The radiation on fjordur is a bit glitched, it only affects characters and I think shoulder mounts but it doesn’t affect other creatures. I’ve gone in wth rexes bats and a whole bunch of others
Beware of that spot, on official, we are built there and all kinds of tames from bats to magmasaurs lag through the map randomly and reappear either elsewhere or where they glitched in.
dont know if this got changed but you should try using a doedic or anky for the nameless venom, they are realy efficient. edit: I think the doedic is the more effective one, am not 100% sure though
⭐️ you can possibly slightly encumber a desmodus to slow it down and use it for building a bit easier...⭐️ Also, Rock Drakes are super cool...👍 nice job on that one... ⭐️ Can't wait to watch you tame that Giga... 👍⭐️
On the Red Dragon mouse idea for you... the custom name could be SynDraggin mouse... like dragging across the mouse pad but still keeps "dragon" in the name
I've been using a Logitech G903 wireless mouse for like 6 or 7 years now. I play a lot of CS:GO, Osu! and other games that require an accurate mouse and I've never had a problem with my G903.

Fjordur is a bit strange with the eggs, sometimes they and their guards doesnt even respawn and yuo'll need to dinowipe to make them spawn again

@@joe8741 I mean..they are kinda right tbf. It is a bit weird to not do something because it's cheesy then do something else arguably more cheesy
The cave doesn’t technically count as a cave which is why you dont lag when you leave it so eggs start to spoil when you enter asgard
That's because Asgard is a cave. Asgard, Jotunnheim, and Vanaheim are all caves, which is why you can't use flyers other than the Desmodus in them.
@@Movienut1992 are they changing that or is it intentional?
@@skuzzybuzz293 no idea. That's just how the realms are coded. If you take any flyer to another realm you just can't mount them. But if you enable cave flyers, suddenly you can.
I dont know why, but i had a lot of fun when you didn't recognize cyan on the Rock drake :P Good episode again Syntac!

13:52 ‘ plasma *tree* ‘
cool but I think plasma bush was better.
Ik it was probably on purpose.
Syntac basically did the meme with the “everything is okay” while his rock drake is on fire
When you saw the giga, I immediate thought "I bet it's a 180" and then you left it without checking, and I thought you were going to miss out.
Imagine Syntac, of all people, not recognising Cyan. Have I slipped into an alternate dimension?
I think the bridge going up looks cool and matches the overall aesthetic. Reminds me of the floating bridges around seattle
Use desmodus, latch onto the side of a rock and use your longneck to tranq the gifs, when it runs away, fly near the ground and shoot it still, when it turns around, go up and latch again. Rinse and repeat. Easy giga taming
Lvl 210 Egg:I'm outa here

desmodus? if he just flew in on a desmodus would that not work? they can fly in caves, are radiation immune and go invisible.
