Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Manta in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.

Building a trap out of pillars in shallow water on the shoreline with a behemoth gate entrance on the waterside worked wonders for me.

I used a wild tame baryonyx to get the mantas aggro and led it into the trap, jumped of when on land and swam around the trap (while keeping…

what is so dangerous bout this flappy boi of the ocean i only had trouble with cnidarias. Just go near it then start going to shore it will follow (don't go too far from shore or u ded) then keep on feeding angler gel. hope this help :)

Ark devs make this thing less OP, passive, and just easier to tame. I tried to tame itchy and it killed me. Do not encounter at all not even at hight lv like 47

This thing will attack you through armor. I got my 500 armor and 700 durability FLAK CHESTPLATE rekt by this little son of a.... Basically armor doesn't work against this creature, might as well kill it.

Ironically called the "Manta", you would think it would be harmless. You'd be wrong. Where there is one, they'll often be other nearby.

Do not disturb.

I recommend using four metal Dino gates, with 2 gate doors, wade in manta waters and lure one into the trap to prevent them from wandering anywhere… I’ve tamed every single one of my mantas in crystals isles near eldritch isles with utmost ease…especially during events…

Never enter waters which are infested by them if you are not riding an ichty or wearing bug spray as they will kill you as they usually move in packs. Oh and they eat eals

These water pancakes should be fed angler gel while riding an ichty because they will attack anything else except an ichty. They do surpringly high damage so be careful if you dismount.

When taming place a stone foundations with doorframes on all sides except for one in the water with doorframes just under the water, aggro the manta in the spot and place a doorframe to lock it in. You can feed it while it aggro to a wall for safe taming.

I have 15 of these evil creatures swarming the shallow wear I get m Silaca Pearls

(I never thought Ark would make this a thing)
