What are tips for sinomacrops? Tips and strategies for sinomacrops in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
I believe I can flyyyyy, I believe I can touch the skyyyy
Having another Sinomacrops on your shoulder will not spook a new one and makes it easier to follow them, especially in hilly terrain.
A semi-easy way to tame one is to wear chitin armor and go to the jungle on Lost Island. When you find one they will attack but when you see hearts and if they land, put chitin in the last slot of ur hotbar and hand feed them.
Good luck yall... your gonna need it.
All I can say is: RAFT
These silly birds kept flying out into the ocean and a raft is your best friend as you can follow it and as soon as it changes direction dismount the raft and crouch and it should come to you and land on the raft to be fed some more. Oh and I went to the scorched earth area in the bottom right of the map to find the ones I tamed.
I hope this helps some of you
You cannot tame one in a cave. I found one and he went into a small resource cave in the swamp behind a waterfall and he would not come to me. When he landed he ignored me. so do not chase them into a cave. he was a high level to 😢
Now where’s my chitin……………………….
I have found a lot of these and they are at a lot of abandoned places in ARK
Guys if you are wearing ghillie they will not see you and come back for more chitin, so take it off and you can tame em.
How to tame:
You’ll find these in the jungle like biome at approximately 46 longitude & 63 latitude. They fly around the lakes there.
-you need to put Chitin in your last hotbar slot
-don’t wear chitin armor (will agro them)
-don’t wear ghillie armor they won’t see you and will not come to you
find one of these then keep a good distance (~50 meters)
stand still until red hearts pop up around it’s body. It will come to you naturally (be patient) after they land they will crawl up to you and you feed them chitin. Now the tricky part. After feeding them they will fly away hysterically. You need to follow them (at a distance of about 40-70 metres) you can track them with the tame radar available next to the tribe log. Keep your distance and check if they want to come to you by standing still about 50 metres away. Repeat the feeding and there you go.
Great for daily tasks such as flying up a cliff!
super useful early game tame that can be found pretty commonly around the map. check jungles and forests, also the swampy falls area on the southern coast of the island (spirit falls I believe is the official name)
I find that the best place to tame sinos is in that valley near green obelisk since they spawn everywhere there and it’s hard for them to fly away because of the high walls, plus there is an arthro spawn nearby for chitin
Don't move after you see hearts till it lands at your feet, you will spook it and it zooms away. Your tames also spook it, cryo them, shoulder pets included.
Passive tame with chitin in last slot, use tame tracker to keep track of where it goes.
Best tame in lost Island can and will save you countless number of time
