You dont need insect repellent but it helps unless its stuck in a rock

Angler Gel can be acquired by simply killing achatinas in mobile for some reason

It’s easy to tame when on an Ichty they won’t attack you

Beginners Guide To MANTA: Cute Club

Hand fed and good pet! Need an itchy to tame.

1) Obtain sixteen angler gel (should eat less, but prepare!)

2) Ride an Itchy near the manta

3) Feed angler gel

4) Once tamed, equip a saddle. DO NOT RIDE NEAR any aggressive animal. It is NOT like the Itchy.

These flat demons try so so hard to get on anyone's nerves. One jumped out the water and levetated at me then died. Is that how hard you would try to ruin my day? Really?

It’s fast, very fast

Good for travelling across water

They are a awesome tame especially in packs

I used my basilosaurus. It has 21k health so I just agro'd the manga to my basilo and crouched on my big bois back and fed the manta as it swam around attacking my basilo. The wait time between first and second feed was the longest as with all passive tames. Modded server with 10x taming.

If you want to do anything in the water snipe these from the shore first

Make sure you dont go near land with them. I nearly killed my recently tamed one because I poked it's head out in the shore. Dropped from 100% health to 10% in 2 seconds.

When encountering these creatures stay above and behind them it's outside their rangr

I hate these things

they’re so stupid

I was trying to tame an itchy and then it just randomly started attacking me :’D

then when I killed it like 5 more came and I died 😔

tip, when on mobile, AVOID THEM

THEY ARE THE WORST

MONSTEROUS

Who else love the fact that they can leap out of the water! !

In ASA these killer pancakes are great for making orphans for you to adopt.

I was playing in the center and this 135 Theri had a child with it, the Theri was way too close to my base so I lead it to a nearby cliff to drop it into the water. So now it was in the water and I was about to go adopt the youngling but I wanted to look at my work, I peered down only to see the tickle chicken getting ganged on by some Mantas. I got the kill by shooting it with my cross bow.

So TLDR; lead the parent creature to the water with a pack of waiting Mantas then imprint of the newly orphaned csreature

Use it wisely, this pancake is really strong for early game, and can assist in your sea creature hunting. However, please keep it away from cnidaria, it don't have decent range against these guys. Also, whoever said Baryonyx is good against cnidaria is a pro, so don't use it against cnidaria if you are a noob, my lv 40 Bary died to

3 Cnidaria instantly after dipping into the pool too long

Most underrated ark ocean creature, it may be hard to tame but it's super fast and can jump

1. Ride icthy and kill anglerfish for the angler gel

2. Find manta

3. Murder it's friends

4. Shove the angler gel up the manta's badongadingdong

5. Now you are Lightning McQueen

To tame - Just put Angler Gel in your inventory bar’s last (far right) slot.

To get Angler Gel - Kill an Angler Fish using a tranquilizer gun/crossbow arrow. (To keep it from killing you).

If you can make one, a harpoon gun works well on these. Try to lead one away from all others, if possible. They’re fast and they WILL call their friends! Killing one Angler Fish will give you plenty of Angler Gel to tame several Mantas at a time. Again, try to lead one away from the others. If one tames in a group, the tedd as tvof the group will kill it before you can say “oops!”

Use bug repellant and they won't hit u

Those basterds will always attack your aquatic tames, killed them, they almost killed my Plesiosaur
