Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a mantis? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a mantis.
If you need deathworm horns go to 0,10 (northwest corner of the map) in Scorched Earth and just keep walking back and forth along the northern barrier, a deathworm should spawn in less than 5 minutes.
Eggs cannot be moved, much like bloodstalker. Cannot eat cooked meat or will starve.
Trap it in a 1 by 2 trap, one wall high. It's legs or butt will stick out somewhere, go to it and get the angle where you can feed it the horns! No Ghille required
Hi I’m the tame helper and help all of you guys tame a mantis 1 you’ll need rhino horns or deathworm horns 2 I recommend a mantis deaggro trap which is one stone foundation lurk it in with 6 walls beside and in front of it and 2 doorways
Best place to get Deathworm horns is the Ice Queen cave on Ragnarock. Just take a Sabertooth and eat the easy male death worms. Easy horns they spawn back fast. Use them to tame the mantis.
If you don’t want to make bug repellent if taming on the server is very high just get a flyer on passive and drop on the mantis while spamming the passive tame button (works best with wyverns) and it should tame if you do it right and for baby mantis they eat spoiled meat until there adults so if your breeding them have some spare spoiled meat to feed them. For the harvesting the more lvls you put into melee will make you gather more materials if your using a sickle, pickaxes, or axe and for clubs it increases the melee and torpor damage so mantis are good for knocking out creatures if you have the right stats, if you didn’t know you can give your mantis a pike apparently. Sorry I write to much
Theres deathworm on ragnarok if u didnt knew so i wish it helps
This creature CAN be tamed by WOLLY RHINO HORNS!!!!
The temperature you need to incubate the mantis egg is 37.
If you and your tribe mate work together and have a wyvern. Use it to pin the mantis and you won't have to chase it. Have someone stay on the wyvern and taming is easy. Good luck!
I found 6 deathworm horns in a puprle supply drop on Crystal Isles, so if you really want to tame mantis on Crystal Isles look for purple supply drops.
Tame a giga with a 10K health mantis with 200-500 percent damage holding 2 clubs.🧐
On Ragnarok, lure them into deep water. They only stay on the surface, so once you dive underwater, they'll lose aggro and you can feed from underneath. No ghille suit or bug repellant required!
Dont me on lost island. Found lvl 90 Mantis and beat it with a club, realize it was a passive tame after knocking the hell out of the bug.
Wear Ghillie armour and big repellent to get close to feed horns.
To avoid it running off, have a friend agro towards a pen then begin taming as stated.
You can find deathworm statues around the volcano on fjordur Midgard which when harvested give deathworm horns
You need to get one
1 get bug repellent, kill deathworms, get chillies armour and maybe a canteen or two
2 eat the bug repellent and put the deathworm horns in your last slot, find a high level and sneak up from behind. once you feed it run away and repeat
3 make sure to give him a sword or a tool for whatever you might harvest
WARNING: make sure that if you do this with a tame that you feed it bug repellent too otherwise the mantis will aggro and you can’t tame it. you can only tame a mantis when your over level 40 and the saddle unlocks at lvl 50
You can pick a mantis up and drop it in a 1x1 box. After that, you can feed them through the wall to tame, no bug spray needed.
Tip #1 - Don't tame a dung beetle in between feeding intervals. The mantis will attack it and reset tame.
Tip #2 - clear all vultures in the area, mantis will fight them and reset tame.
Tip #3 - Don't waste time taming a mating pair, as they are unable to mate :))))...
Tip #4 - Bring extra horns -_- and bug repellent.
the time is between
1.20min and 1.45min withe rino horns
