Tips & Strategies
So I once found one of these little sh*ts and thought it was passive like real mantas.
Do not go up to it
It will sting u and everyone in the water!
It is a killer pancake!
I repeat a killer pancake!
I feel like it should not say non violent tame because this thing is very violent
Non violent?! Bruh this dude is suuuupper violent .
When taming use bug repelent to prevent the manta from attacking you
If you are planning on doing anything involving water prepare to despise these flat horrors. They can out swim you. They can swarm you. They can act friendly and once you turn your back eat your tame. Beware.
Surprisingly bug spray actually works with these guys I was bored and tryed it and it worked!!! No argro if u WEAR bug spray!!!!
These shits can’t be knocked out on mobile
I step in the water near them, next thing i knew i was a bag
They say passive tame because YOU are the one that’s supposed to be passive, same way it says “non-violent” it’s talkin bout you NOT the actual tame, sheesh
I hate these guys. i was trying to tame an ichty and I got one but as soon as I got to shore a gang of about 4-6 high level mantas attacked my Ichty. my ichty was low level so it had low health so the mantas killed it. They damaged my raft quite a bit as well. I got revenge by killing all of them with my ascendant bow. I especially hate them because I also had an ascendant ichty saddle with my ichty and I couldn’t find the item cache that had it. I’d recommend you killing them with a powerful ranged weapon from out of the water because they are very agile and powerful and can easily kill you when you are underwater. Also forgot to mention,they also almost killed my trike that was waiting on shore.
Guys it says passive tame because you don't need to knock it out🤦♂️ anyways, whoever said they only eat angler gel after tamed is a liar. They eat meat too. This deathly pancake is a good tame. Here's how to tame it: 1. Find a manta (if you're on the island theres some near the little lake thing where you spawn)
2. Get it to aggro on you
3. Get kind of out of the water
4. Feed it angler gel
5. Tame more and start breeding!
Enjoy your deathly pancake
They stalk you if you have an Itchy. They follow you into the shallows then attack. Annoying things. Kill them from range. They are hostile.
It’s attacks are able to quickly shred through your armour, I have a theory that the manta may share coding with the Arthropleurea since they both can destroy armour and they both react to bug repellent similarly
Tame a kaprosuchos and swim to one of these bad boys and do it's alternate attack it will grab it in it's mouth. walk onto the shore where its safe and have another person feed it while in the gators mouth (if you unmount it drops it) it wont attack or die because it's technically not on the shore.
This guy killed my lystro and dodo, i am crippled and sad
