ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
I wear one on my back that is the same or a similar color to my armor; I’m about to tell you why. Let’s say I get picked off of my flier in PvP, I can make it look like I’m falling, then when the attacker leaves I can fly back up to my mount before landing. Or I could accidentally unmount my flier 200 feet above ground because I’m an idiot, and just fly right back up. They also scare pegomastax and itcthyornis along with other small creatures when on Auto-Scream. Very helpful. The sinomacrops also excels as a travel buddy, but make sure it doesn’t run out of food!
More Sinomacrops Utility Tips
Xbox controls:
Glide: Crouch button, while gliding you can click the left stick to go into a different glide mode.
Parachute: Hold crouch button
Fly: Hold Jump button
Inventory: Hold interact while they are on your back
Scream: Use the clap emote or hold interact while they are on your back
Note: sinos eat chitin to make up for lost stamina so put a decent amount in their inventory.
Ok, this is for all of you ps4 players out there.
1. Hold circle=fly/gain altitude.
2. Double tap circle/tap while in the air to boost up.
3. R3 to glide (hold for parachute mode).
4. You can throw it onto other players.
5. Holding jump underwater boosts swim speed.
A lot of these controls I found here on dododex, so credit to the people who posted the controls/tips originally. I have personally tested these and they all work.
