ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies

So. I was taming some icthys in the ocean (I have 10 btw) And I saw this thing. I was riding my icthy(Mr FEESHY) so I was like “oooooooh a new thing ta kill. So I rode up and killed all the mantas. (I hate them btw) I started attacking it but it didn’t react. It was like level 9 and had like 5000 hp so I thought it was waitin until I stopped attacking so it could KILL me. But still, did not react. I was like “ if dis ding don’t react within the next 10 secs I gonna murder him.” But it didn’t so I murdered him. It was about 20-30 ark days before I learned that it was passive and you could hand feed it. It was about 30 ark days before I spotted another one. 1 up=1 brain cell 4 me. 😂😂😂

Watch out for its manta cult.
In real life these were vicious carnivores that would have killed and eaten a human on sight and lived mostly in shallow waters and swam up rivers looking for food they were also twenty metres long, good thing the developers didn't make them more realistic or crossing rivers would be a dream until you have a flyer.
Why is this passive?! This has tons of hp and melee. Actually, on second thought… ark, please keep this passive!
Seems everything flocks to it mantas and icthy, be careful while swimming near cause they can body block you and you be killed.
Take a Baryonyx or a powerful swimming creature to kill off the Manta's and then go in for the tame
