Tip: ALWAY SET YOUR AQUATIC CREATURES NEUTRAL.

Ok so I just tamed a lvl30 meg that was at passive (I was on easy, don’t judge me I just started the game)I was so happy when it tamed but then while I was going home 3 mantas attacked me I was like ok my Sarco can take 3 mantas (i was riding a Sarco) then 500000 more came and killed my meg but I survived. T-T

Once tamed basically fancy looking combat icthys but can't let you hold weapons on them but they can leap out of water and they work a kind of as a "fear tame" you need to go deep down and risk the dangers to get the gel mantas want to tame so that means if you have loads of mantas enemy players might think twice about attacking you fearing you might have powerful weapons either from simply being high enough level to get the gel or from deep sea loot crates

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.

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.

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

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!”
