Don’t shoot I learned that the hard way!!!!!!!!!!

I found one down the underwater slope of Herbivore Island. Check all around that place it may be worth it.

I live on herb island and they spawn all around me just tamed one and it's my second most powerful tame (after a spino). These r a must have in my opinion

I’ve tried to take these twice and failed both times. Damn Mantas. They are my second least favorite Ark water creature.

I found mine while riding my itchy it was pretty easy tame I named mine bailey it makes oil so I don't have to look for trilobites I'm dont have a saddle for her yet but I really want to ride her

I found my very first one on the stranded island in the right bottom hand corner of the map, it’s a good place to start

WHERE THE BOY BASOS AT?! Play find females around where I went. Please help me find the boys.

I have a level 100 basil and when looking for a male to breed I encountered an alpha megalodon and like 4 high level megs near it. I took out all of them without losing practically any health. The male I ended up taming the male basil and it got the final hit on alpha Meg, just a side tip alphas give crazy xp my lvl 50 male basil got 30 points from it!!!!!

They often spawn in the shallow waters in herbivore island. Stego and bronto are the 2 close sources of prime meat there.

Why does all the mantas attack me when im riding an dolphin?!?! And why i cant feed it meat whitout unriding it?!?!

If you are playing ark mobile then ride on a icthy because there is a bug where when your on an icthy you won’t get targeted by mantas and megladons

A balisosaurus will always be surrounded by some mantas(I haven’t actually counted how many, but it is a decent amount), aka. The death pancakes. If you are swimming nearby/attack the balisosaurus, the mantas will attack you. However, if you best the mantas and the giant whale, you can get a lot of oil and hide(with blubber as an exclusive win if you choose).

How are these passive look at that mouth

How to tame or kill for oil.

1.Get a baryonyx and use its aoe on the mantas until most are dead

2. Passive tame it ( Or kill for a hell lot of oil ) while your baryonyx is close incase a stray manta comes

3. Repeat until tamed

You can find these in the reverse peninsula on Ragnarok’s Viking Bay.

Literally everywhere at the back of carnivore or herbivore island 🏝

Do NOT get close to these when there is like 50 mantas on it trust the mantas shredded me like cheese when I got to close

This can always be found with 2-5 rays following close by acting as body guards. Or at least it is every time I find them.

These are the ancestors of the whales guys THATS WHY THEY ARE PASSIVE

Apparently they do spawn on lost island it is just that they are super rare
