Tips & Strategies

So I found this tip on taming a manta while I was recording a video with my friend and I was taming a manta cuz we had too much gel (we lived in an underwater cave) and im here to share the tip with you
Step 1:aggro a manta (or a horde of mantas, regardless it will work)
Step 2: go into the underwater cave and jump on the ledge, this will force the manta to stay at the surface of the water not even noticing you.
Step 3:feed the manta gel until it is tamed
Boom, you have a manta, while I've only tried this on mobile, im fairly confident it will work on pc/console too
Share this with anyone who needs help taming a manta

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
I stepped into the nearest water to my spawn, I saw one of these and said aren't you cute. IT WAS NOT. I tried to tame it with fish meat and oof. Long story short, the longer you fight/tame it the more spawn and try to kill you, I was surrounded by more pancakes than breakfast for 20 people. Rip Steve. I still haven't tamed one of these.
Eats at 28 seconds, not 11
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
guys it's a passive tame for you, not for the manta, it can be as aggressive as it wants it's not taming you, you are taming it
