Tips & Strategies
Here's a suggestion, don't go near the water if there are more than 3 or these b*tches especially if you are just starting out trust me on this they are aggressive as hell
Guys!!! Need angler gel just kill achatinas (snail 🐌) and then hit the body with a sword and there angler gel.
They give us the saddle at low level, but we need to go deep underwater to get angler gel without scuba stuff? How are we supposed to tame the devil's goldfish when we get the saddle??
Disregard my previous comment, they still get angry even when fed AnglerGel, it just didn’t look like it to me because the previously tamed manta was stuck in it’s spot.
Use a water taming raft and trap it in a corner with stone door frames and tame. Make sure you have a bed on the raft
Ive found they are much easier to tame when they busy following a basilo around XD
They're suicidal! Trapping them is advised so they don't jump out of the water and onto land.
Can't believe my luck, I was flying over Highlands Bay, on Ragnorrock, looking for Mantas to tame. When I saw a Basilasaurus in the Bay. Several Mantas were swimming along with it. I pulled out my spyglass and and found a male and female, 140 & 145, were swimming in the group. So I chomped some bug spray, put my tank on and jumped in. suprisingly, there were not only the male and female I had previously spotted. But, three additional females all above 135, and to add the icing on the cake, the Basilasaurus was also a 135. Some days you can't take two steps without being devoured by a Rex, respawn, only to be devoured by the very same Rex. And then you get days like this, where they fall into your lap. So my tip is to stay vigilante and keep your eyes peeled for those happy surprises. Oh! and don't sweat the large dino that eats you four consecutive times. Happy Arking!!!😁
This swimming pancake doesn't like people who want to tame ichty's. Just wanted to warn ya.
It’s attacks are able to quickly shred through your armour, I have a theory that the manta may share coding with the Arthropleurea since they both can destroy armour and they both react to bug repellent similarly
Warning these things are normally pretty hungry after you tame it and will starve if you put angler gel in their inventory as they eat normal fish meat afterwards
I tamed one with only 9⅞ AnglerGel. Up if you have or tamed one with less!
Incredibly fast mount. If it touches land it will die in less than 1 second. Very very low hp. Tame it naked. It ignores armor so save your mats. Build a trap, pin it down with as many pillars as you can. Place a stone hatch on top of him. Expect to die. A lot. Like, a whole, whole lot.
Passive tame? Nah this dude is a killer pancake,
I hate these guys. i was trying to tame an ichty and I got one but as soon as I got to shore a gang of about 4-6 high level mantas attacked my Ichty. my ichty was low level so it had low health so the mantas killed it. They damaged my raft quite a bit as well. I got revenge by killing all of them with my ascendant bow. I especially hate them because I also had an ascendant ichty saddle with my ichty and I couldn’t find the item cache that had it. I’d recommend you killing them with a powerful ranged weapon from out of the water because they are very agile and powerful and can easily kill you when you are underwater. Also forgot to mention,they also almost killed my trike that was waiting on shore.
You have 2 ways (by what i know) to tame it. The first and easiest way is to tame an ichty, because it doesn't get agro, then grab some angler gel and tame the manta.
The other way is to use a bug repellent and feed it the gels.
After tamed, you can feed it meat.
Lure it to the surface with a turtle then stand on the back of the turtle and feed it make sure the turtle is on passive
Careful... they may look delicious in all but powerful...pancakes or waffles... Iost my megaladon to a pack of 8 of these which took 4 1/2 hours to tame...
