Tips & Strategies

What are tips for manta? Tips and strategies for manta in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
For anybody that doesn’t know about Achatinas, they are the answer to your angler gel needs, just get a high dmg raptor or Caron find one, and kill it with the extra attack you get more angler gel.
Dont tame them close to a megalodon the meg does not like them and kills them all the time over and over again. I learnt from experience on my first go.
AnglerMeat boii
Hiw to tame one:
1. Don't bring tranq arrows or narcotics coz they passive tame
2. They prefer AnglerGel (can be obtained by harvesting dead anglers or achatinas)
3. Ride am Itchthy to tame while not being attacked or lead it to shallow water then feed it the AnglerGels.
4. Now you have a Manta! Tamed ones only eat meat or fish meat and are pretty fast btw.
They are aggressive. My moschops and I were seriously killed by two mantas and Cnidaria
It is a passive tame but it will kill you and eat you if it sees you
They can jump out of water, which is useful to jump between rivers, but beware, if they jump on land, they will lose lots of health, very rapidly.
Not worth taming, these guys deal decent damage, average only on land, best for daily rewards only. Best way to kill a school of these is to use spino, easy fish meat too.
Build a 1x1 stone hut under water swim out the door then back in they cant get in but the will try and get stuck at the door
It's actually easy to tame, just stay in the water with it and keep swimming away from it (on a passive water mount) and just keep circling round it and feeding. Don't go near the shore tho no matter what
Tamed up a couple easy jut try to find a ledge in water get it stuck on ledge
If you see one of those, you will see his family in any second. Even if they have a low lvl, their damage are insanly high
On PC: no longer grabbed by Karpo, no longer can be fed while on Ichtyo (prompt does not appear). They also aggro on Ichtyo.
Pelagornis was my way to tame the thing: after feeding flee as fast as you can.
Masstame 150's til you got 50 of them, use them together with a swarm of 25 eels backed up by mateboosted basils, mosas and tusos.
Absolutely insane, ofc have them covered by some tek and heavies set on players only.
Have them all following a passive tame on low distance (could be an angler), and have them set on attack-my-target, and aggro range high.
Have a trapped tame as scout on aggressive and aggro range high, when it aggro towards any dinos or players, it will send the whole force to kill and stun the target, when target is out of range or dead, they will come back to base.
So this worked out fine for me but it may not for you so just make a box in the water make the manta agro on the box and it should attempt to destroy it and then you can tame it this is it
These guys are mega underrated, especially in packs because they attack so quickly. 8 of them killed my level 88 basilo with 17k health in a matter of seconds 😳
To tame stand still and everyone it comes for u just swim up to doge easy while looking down to feed like so everyone can see
Okay guys non violent tame means you cant knock it out and feed till it loves u u need to feed it as it attacks u
Mantas break stone don’t be fooled they do
I don't know if it's just for me but when I tried taming a few the intervals to feed it where more than it actually said
