What are tips for manta? Tips and strategies for manta in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Lure it to land then when the manta is on the shore, put spikes down so it can't get out. Then, you can feed it without getting bit.
To tame it just get stone pillars and trap the manta with them
Use have a boat near by when taming so that you don't get pulverized when it does get aggressive
Trapped one in a 2x2 box with door frames and a Dino gate. I used ghillie. Didn't seem to mask me. I'd use flak to keep the damage down cuz it'll still attack through the door frames. But I was triumphant in the end.
I tamed a megalodon, I made a saddle for him :)
5 minutes later it was useless against a group of four mantas >:(
Look for a Leed, you'll find about 20 swarming it...
I’ve done it… all manta cripple before me and basi they swarm and attack, but that was their last mistake. Get basi!!!!

Don't waste your time trapping it, because for some reason it won't tame in a trap
If you want to tame manta first tame ichthyosaurs cause no one attack ichtyosaur and then kill angeler ride on your ichthyosaurs and tame easy also same way to tame manta
Do not go near this!!!
I repeat Do not go near this!
It killed my newly tamed sarco while I was gathering oil in the sea
On mobile just ride an itcthy and follow it around, you can feed it without dismounting and it won’t Agro on you
Although these might seem fairly useless, I’v actually found a very good use for them.
Recently I struggled with claiming the artifact of the cunning (or whatever the east water cave one is called). I first tried taking the cave head on, using a basilo (50k health and around 1k melee) and a few crappy backup sharks. I assumed the sharks would die, but that the basilo could pull through. Even before I was into the main cavern of the cave, I was assaulted by at least 20 insanely high level megalodons. With their pack buff and bleed attack, needless to say, my backup megs were dead. I decided that the cave couldn’t get much worse than that, and with my severely injured tamari ventured into the main cavern. I was greeted with twice the number of megs, 4 plesiosaurs, 2 mosasaurs, a barrage of eels, 1 tuso, and a collection of other horrible deep-sea predators. Realizing I was done, I tried to turn to escape, but it was too late. I got absolutely booty clapped.
So, it was back to the drawing board. I briefly thought about breeding a good sea creature army, but I was daunted by the prospect of that much time consuming breeding, and I was already in the process of breeding good boss rexes. So another idea came to me: what if I didn’t fight anything? What if I was just fast enough to avoid all danger? And so I tamed a few mantas (low levels, 30-60ish) and bred them. I imprinted the baby, grew it up, cryod it, and got to the cave. I was very worried that the manta would die, based on the fact that it had somewhere around 800 health. I crossed my fingers and hoped it was fast enough.
I expected it to be fast, but this thing blew through the cave and back out in no time, too fast to aggro most things and the things it did were left in the dust. I realize this would probably work with a dino of similar speed like an ichthy or maybe even a diplocaulus but for me, the manta is now the only way I get that artifact.
Why does it need Angler Gel to tame? Why not raw fish meat or raw meat? Seriously.
