Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a manta? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a manta.
Passive tame? Nah this dude is a killer pancake,
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
How I tamed a manta was that I got 5 angler gel from daily gift and got soothing balm took my itchy and found a level 3 manta fed it put soothing balm on it and still have 3 left over wach out the other manta's can kill your manta if your not careful up for others to see 🙂
Shhh be quiet. They’ll call there mates over half way through the tame
Surprisingly in mobile ark, if you attack achatinas with raptors, as I have learned from my own experience, you can get angler gel. I have never gone past the shallows in the ocean, yet I have multiple stacks of angler jell. Hope y’all can find this helpful. Don’t know if it works on other versions of ark though.
I’ve found the best way to deal with these guys is using a Pelegornis in shallow water. You’re able to hop off the water, fly, and still follow the manta around. It’s easy to hop back on the bird if you land in the water so it makes it easy for a quick feed and then retreat.
Oddly, if you apply bug repellant to yourself and your mount, mantas won't aggro on either of you as easily.
Kill all the other mantas before taming cause they will kill your new recruit….
Trust me I found out the hard way….
Taking it is actually pretty easy,just ride on your pelagornis and slowly start feeding it angler gell(which can be found in snails on mobile)make sure it’s near shore and away from predators!(like other mantas)its a passive tame so make sure not to get killed in the process
Use bug repellent so it does not agro or you can trap it with pillars or on the shore
How to tame a manta
1.im playing on easy casual on mobile so this might be different for you
2. Get some angler gel just use a mehladon or an itchy
3.find one in a group
4. Use an ichy they don’t attack them while mounted
5.you got yourself an manta
When you get off it, it will spring forward a few yards. So do not discount near land
Place a stone foundation then 4 stone door frames and a hatch frame on top get it to agro onto you and use the structure as a sort of shark cage if it goes away just reapt it getting agro on you
To the idiot who said they only eat gels,they also eat fish meat.
Ok so basicly use a sarco or icthy to lure it to shore then feed it angler gel grill it’s tamed
My only question is why do they eat angler gel but they usually swim at the Shores and anglers usually swim near the bottom of the sea?
Can no longer grab with Kapro :'(
Get a basilosaurus and get the manta you want to tame, agro it to the balsilo and you will be able to tame the manta since its attacking the basilo instead of you. (The basilos food will drain quickly so get it some food)
It says non-violent because you don’t knock it out to tame! It’s a passive tame :)
