What are tips for manta? Tips and strategies for manta in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
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
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
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.
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
To the people who say these are useless, they are on of the if not the fastest tame in the ocean except Astrosdelphis and maybe itchy, there attack ignores armor, when you get a ton of them they are absolute killers in the ocean. Easy tame to, just ride itchy and hand it angler jel, it can jump out of the water which makes it even faster, just don’t take it on land or it will die, do not listen to people who say it is useless, just don’t.
If you're wondering why your armor somehow breaks in seconds+you die when you're trying to kill a pack of mantas with a melee weapon, its cuz mantas deal way more damage through armor than most other creatures.
This also applies to the theri
Just ride an itchy and you can feed it without it aggroing on you. I’m on mobile
Note to self: Do not pet the death pancake.
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
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
I actually tamed this creature by luring it with a sarco and when it comes near to the shore I feed it angler gel after a few mins it will be tamed . You can also use bug repellent and tame it .
I play on mobile and they agro on you even if your riding an Ichy
They are demons of the water super unfriendly and giolent
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??
They're suicidal! Trapping them is advised so they don't jump out of the water and onto land.
