Tips & Strategies
The Manta is one of the most frustrating creatures to tame if you don't trap it, as it will become aggressive if you're in it's presence. The best way to tame one is to find a relatively shallow area of water and build a stone pillar trap (with the pillars spaced out tight enough so the rays can't swim through them) and leave a space to lure the mantis in. Then place the final pillars to trap it in and tame it at your leisure with angler gel. You may get hit once or twice while you feed it angler gel, but you can back away if you take too much damage.
More Manta Taming & KO Tips
I feel like it should not say non violent tame because this thing is very violent
I step in the water near them, next thing i knew i was a bag
When taming use bug repelent to prevent the manta from attacking you
Surprisingly bug spray actually works with these guys I was bored and tryed it and it worked!!! No argro if u WEAR bug spray!!!!
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.
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

Just ride an itchy and you can feed it without it aggroing on you. I’m on mobile
They have terrible turning circle, approach one from above and feed it. Then let it swim circles around you. The occasional time it gets close you can predict its attacks, it “bucks” just before the attack, which is the tail swinging underneath. Quick swim up or back avoids it. Be prepared to get dizzy, long time between feeding
If you pump your levels into speed and skim the surface while using sprint you can use Carbo shells as jumps.
