Tips & Strategies from the iOS & Android apps
Do not be me and knock out a 150 after searching 3 hours coming to realize it's a passive tame.
They can tame fast with rhino horns. Up so Dododex can change the info please and thank you
These should have something else to tame them with besides horns. Like a kibble, spoiled meat, etc. don’t you agree?
As you may know, in the wild, when praying mantises breed the female mantis will more often than not rip off the head of its male counterpart and consume it. On the ark, the mantises are equipped with significantly more intelligence, enough for the males to realize that making a move on a female will probably lead to its end. Because of this, male mantises completely avoid all sexual intercourse. Unfortunately, this leaves every single mantis very horny. So to solve this problem, all a survivor must do is sneak up behind said mantis and shove a huge, long, thick horn straight up its ass. The wave of pleasure it feels will instantly make it your loyal slave forever. Although a big rhino horn is big enough to tame them, the sheer size of a huge death worm horn will satisfy them significantly more. And that is why you tame mantises with horns
Well that’s my theory anyway
How to Tame a Mantis:
1. Absolutely obliterate some Deathworms because you’re a gigachad and don’t feel fear..or you can kill some Woolly Rhinos, that works too.
2. Prepare, get a full suit of ghillie armor and maybe some bug repellent just to be sure. Get your deathworm horns and make it to the desert or wherever you’re taming it
3. Find a nice Mantis, probably 145-150, sneak up on it and shove the horns right up it’s ass
4. Name your Mantis, they can hold a variety of tools, pickaxes, hatchets, swords and pikes, they also have a jump attack that’ll drain stamina but does quite a lot of damage

Kill every vulture in area if can. They will aggro on mantis and make tameing bar restart.
Please don’t listen to the boy who said with bug repellant, ghille and cactus broth that the aggro range is “literally zero” cause it’s not.. you can get super duper close without aggravating it but you can’t get too close so still be careful and try not to stand so close you can touch it or it will STILL AGGRO.
Mantis can now be tamed with Wooly Rhino Horns
