How do I kill a manta? manta battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
So I once found one of these little sh*ts and thought it was passive like real mantas.
Do not go up to it
It will sting u and everyone in the water!
It is a killer pancake!
I repeat a killer pancake!

This guy killed my lystro and dodo, i am crippled and sad
Non violent?! Bruh this dude is suuuupper violent .
PASSIVE!? THAT WORD IS MORE UNTRUE THAN WHEN MY BROTHER SAID THERE WAS NO MORE ICECREAM LEFT!!,
If you are planning on doing anything involving water prepare to despise these flat horrors. They can out swim you. They can swarm you. They can act friendly and once you turn your back eat your tame. Beware.
Guys, it says passive tame because you do not have to knock it out.
I found that in shallow water a giga is perfect for killing swarms of these guys but don’t go in to deep water gigas are terrible swimmers and will drown easily
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 swimming pancake doesn't like people who want to tame ichty's. Just wanted to warn ya.
If caught in open water by a manta fight don't flee. If you have a spear or pike swim up as it gets close. This keeps you above it attack area and puts you in striking range. The manta is slower moving up and down in the water.
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
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
When I was still a noob and didn’t know anything I saw 3 mantas, I didn’t know if they were aggressive so I went to check if they were at first for some unknown reason it didn’t attack me they just acted like ichthyosauruses so I thought they were passive but then when I tamed a low level ichthyosaurus the mantas started killing my ichthyosaurus I was like WHAT I THOUGHT U GUYS WERE SUPPOSED TO BE PASSIVE then it killed my ichthyosaurus, i went to check again but this time they killed me R.I.P me and my ichthyosaurus

These things almost need to be nerfed. They are super fast, infact I almost lost a Megalodon to these things, darn. These things have wayyyy to much melee, speed, and Argo distance, they can be annoying. But they can be stopped! Use bug repellent to not make mantas Argo.
If you see one of them you know what to do {avenge Steve!!!}
A waffle of maddness
I was swimming back to base on my sarco and when I get back to base I turn it off I come back to find my sarco missing but not dead me 17 days later: let’s explore the ocean on our Meg next thing I see is a sarco swimming in the ocean killing mantas fortunately I brought sarco back to base and tail stunned them with my baryonyx
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??
HOW DO U PASIGE TAME IT IF IT KILLS U IN 2 HITS AT
LV 47?!?!?!
LV 47?!?!?!
I didn’t know they were aggressive until 50 of them came at me!!
