Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a mantis? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a mantis.
Use bug repellent to get close to tame
If your on ragnarok just go in the ice dungeon and farm the ice worm males for a bit. They spawn like every 30 seconds and drop horns and some other valuables
Super easy to tame step one if u have a high lvl wyvern or else go find a death worm and kill it step 2 craft ghillie armour and u need bug spay and go find a mantis and crouch so u don’t get seen once ur very close get up amd run and press 10 that’s the last slot isn’t it and press y on Xbox press triangle on ps
I don't know what other said. But in this day 26:4:2021
You can't tame mantis with any other thing or with help of anything but Bugrepelent and deathworm horn. Used 5 hour to learn it.
Grab with a crab for easy tame
Pick it up with a wyvern or an argy and drop it in water, fly far away enough for it to drop agro and and swim up to it but make sure to swim underwater or it will agro and not allow you to feed it
After taming via pushing deathworm horns deep in its ass, what does it eat? Or does it continue enjoying horns?
If you use a Wyvern and trap the Mantis under it's wing, then hop off insert the horn, then hop back on it's pretty easy. The Mantis won't agro on the Wyvern.
Don't bother with guillie armor or bug repellent. You don't need it.
Pick it up with a compatible flyer and drop it in deep water.
You need a deathworm horn to passive tame it and hey presto!
All you’re methods are old all you got to do is drop one in water and you can tame it without any Ghillie or broths !!
You can use something to pick it up and put it into the water, use a ghillie suit and go underneath it with the horns you need to tame it :)))
You need bug repellent, and a ghille suit to tame them than you crouch and sneak up behind it with a death worm/rhino horn in your last item slot and press Y on Xbox and E on pc
These can be tamed thru walls just like shadowmane.. snap 4 dino gates with doors.. no ghillie or bug spray needed
A good idea on Ragnarok is to drop one in the desert temple and block the exits with wyverns. The put on ghillie and bug repellent. If it goes aggro run over and get on a wyvern. Tamed 2 level 150s like this. Best way to easily get them. Another thing is avoid taking in open desert because if a death worm shows up you are screwed and so is your mantis. Good luck taming!!!
Make sure you're not taming one durring a sandstorm, it will cause the taming meter to degrade.
For those of you who want to set a timer: The interval between feeding is exactly 3:40 for wooly horns.
Trapping them in a building never worked for me. Even when not aggro i could not feed it. If taming in the desert use a flying combat mount. Use bug spray on the mount and yourself so you can land,dismount,feed and fly off clearing nearby dinos until next feed. This stops it aggroing on your mount and helps you avoid chasing it around on foot losing food/water
Build a small trap that leads down to the one by one. Have the mantis walk ( lag ) itself in. Then you will be able to feed it through the wall. No need for ghilie or repellent
Sinoms and mana make this the easiest as you can tame. Armor up fly up and press x to parachute down and land on it and feed fly away. Can even do it with out repellent use mana to clear area. Easy pickings.
Pick it up with wyvern go over water and jump off and tame
