DO NOT BRING IT ON LAND!!!!

(it dies)

I feel like it should not say non violent tame because this thing is very violent

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.

Use a water taming raft and trap it in a corner with stone door frames and tame. Make sure you have a bed on the raft

I step in the water near them, next thing i knew i was a bag

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.

Carefull around these guys. They're like the raptors of the water, lost my newly tamed basilosaurus to these heartless animals... Rest well, Bessie, I loved listening to your singing T_T

I had to spend about an hour trying to get angler gel

If caught in open water by a manta fight don't flee. If you have a spear or pike swim up as it gets close. This keeps you above it attack area and puts you in striking range. The manta is slower moving up and down in the water.

The manta is quite dangerous, as it's attacks can punch straight through armour, even flak. They are very fast and unless you have lots of oxygen and speed, you will not escape. Just poke your head underwater and look left and right before crossing the sea. It's like a road, but worse, because roads don't have angry stingrays, very large sharks and/or killer piranha

Very easy to tame... Just ride an Ichi and the manta will ignore you, unless you hop out of your ride. Good luck taming!

Do not dismount while in midair over sea! Dismounting while in the air will kill it!

First tame a dolphin then go to the bottom of the sea and kill and anglerfish to get the gel then follow one around until it’s tamed

If you pump your levels into speed and skim the surface while using sprint you can use Carbo shells as jumps.

A waffle of maddness

If you position yourself correctly when riding one, only your head will stick out and you won't lose oxygen, this can be used for spying on others.

Surprisingly in mobile ark, if you attack achatinas with raptors, as I have learned from my own experience, you can get angler gel. I have never gone past the shallows in the ocean, yet I have multiple stacks of angler jell. Hope y’all can find this helpful. Don’t know if it works on other versions of ark though.

They give us the saddle at low level, but we need to go deep underwater to get angler gel without scuba stuff? How are we supposed to tame the devil's goldfish when we get the saddle??

Mantas are very quick ocean transport mounts, which also double as a powerful PVP asset. The manta's attack ignore the armour stat, which makes a high melee damage manta incredibly powerful to players and small tames. It's quick speed also allows it to move very fast. It can jump out of the water, but on contact with land, it will begin dying very fast. Very good for travel on the center map, as it can jump over the many islands if it gets a good run up
