Tips & Strategies

I don’t know if it’s a glitch but the one I tried to tame lost all the taming percentage when it touched the outside barrier so I can’t seem to tame them. I don’t know.

NEED TO KNOW BEFORE TAMING!
Okay, so I saw one in a river opening on Crystal Isles. I thought the mantas attack you as soon as you go near. So I slowly approached the tail near the river bank. The mantas didn’t agro on me, I thought I was just far enough away. No. Oh no no no noooo. It turns out the mantas ATTACK the second you feed it. Please don’t do what I did haha
P.S I lost my otter to the mantas. R.I.P
This creature is so easy to tame. All you need is:
1. An Ichthyosaurus(these guy won't be attack by any water creature, except the jellyfish)
2. Anykind of meat(I suggest using prime meat and don't use fish meat)
3. Find one of these creature
4. Feed it prime meat(It's a long time between the 1st and the 2nd feed, after the 2nd feed it's fast)
And then you get one of these, just be careful of the megalodons, they will attack right after it is tamed. I hope this is useful for you<3
A living oil mine and immune to jellyfish and someone who likes to ignore the hug of the Tuso . Yup definitely worth taming and for some of you who don’t know how to tame this kind of Dino then this is how you do it
Step 1: put the item you will use to tame in your hot bar
Step 2: get close to the Dino then tap the item to feed it then keep feeding it until it tame up
I am telling process because I had problems passive taming when I was a beginner
Hope this was helpful :)
So I found this guy at a island where herbivores spawned I had some prime meat I feed it and I tamed it once it is tamed everything attacks it
Fun fact: the first time you feed it, it takes a while. The rest of the time, it’s much faster, don’t worry!
I play in mobile if u ride a icthyosaur while taming it the manta's won't attack u
Dodex fix your stuff takes like 5 mins for hungry again
Don’t actually knock it out its a passive tame. Mine took around 23 meat and 15 minutes for a lvl 70 basil, totally worth it.
I found that you can use sarcos or itchys to tame these creatures just hit one of the rays and lure them away then after the very long first to second feeding after that it takes like 15 seconds to feed again
