Tips & Strategies
What I did is I bred up my lvl 450 trex switch some lvl 300’s (I play at max difficulty so it was easy to get them) then I waited until I got about 10 eggs and imprinted on he ones with the best stats. Then I brought my fire wyverns that I just got they were both lvl 35 and we’re good at dodging (they lived) I got two rocket launchers with a few homing missiles to fire as well along with my assult rifle I was in full riot armory as well and had an extra set handy as well. This is just what I did for the beta version good luck!
More Manticore Encountering Tips
I joined a random server and found the arena and then a tribe with Rex’s and stuff summoned it I sneaked in behind them they lost but I managed to kill it by looting the dead bodys 😂
Heres a tip FOR ALL THE PEOPLE SAYING YOU CAN FORCETAME IT IN THE ARENA- if u go into the bosses arena and forcetame it.... you'll be stuck there forever bc the boss gotta die in order for u to leave. :)
For gamma use 5 fire wyvern level 200+ 5 poison and 5 lightning for beta use same but with level 250-300 and for alpha use 5 deinonychus with 10k+ stam 5k+ hp and a lot of dmg and use wyvern for the other slots first have wyvern on passive wait for manticore to land latch on it with the deinonychus and then un passive the wyverns and kill the manticore
Bring around 6-7 or more rexs and when it lands everyone get around it and trap it. Deathworms will come and knock u back but just keep moving forward slowly so u dont get pushed out. Even when the rock golems come don't stop hitting it. Goodluck boys :)
When fighting the manticore a good strategy is bring in high level Rex's with good saddles and circle the manticore it then becomes pinned allowing you to kill it without it flying all around .... watch out for the poison it shoots at you though it will kill you off your mount like the poison wyvern ..
It's low on hps when golems come
Just don’t run away otherwise you will get backstabbed because it is so fast
Bring a gas mask to avoid getting killed of knocked off your tame
When fighting this guy, make sure you bring large dinos. Cause if not the manticore will not land. I brought mantises to this boss fight and it never landed. Hope this tip helped!
How to kill a gamma manticore
1. Get 19 argentavis. They don't even have to be mutated just get 2 150 argentavis and breed them until you have 19
2. Tame a 150 yutyrannis their roar ability can be used to buff you argentavis
3. Once your in the arena send your agentavis at the manricore, stay on your yuty and keep roaring. Rock golem and worms will spawn on you just run away.
4. This method took me about 15 minutes try it yourself
