What are tips for manta? Tips and strategies for manta in ARK: Survival Ascended & 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!
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
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.
Non violent?! Bruh this dude is suuuupper violent .
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
Kill them All. Revenge for Steve. Never forget Never forgive.
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 are aggressive in real life too. RIP Steve Irwin.
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.
They say passive tame because YOU are the one that’s supposed to be passive, same way it says “non-violent” it’s talkin bout you NOT the actual tame, sheesh
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
