What are tips for manta? Tips and strategies for manta in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
This BEAST killed my stego and my turtle and my icthy plus my Meg barely survived. DANGEROUS CREATURE.
They are passive if you are on an ichthy
My only question is why do they eat angler gel but they usually swim at the Shores and anglers usually swim near the bottom of the sea?
They are dangerous! I thought they were passive lol
First you want to cuddle with it but you see another "What ever,twice the fun." you think. But then "A third, no fourth, no sixth, no tenth, MY SARCO!!! NO I DIED AND LOST A JOURNEY MAN CROSSBOW AND MY SCUBA GEAR." Looks at level of mantas /level 4/ "Lil shit."
It says non-violent because you don’t knock it out to tame! It’s a passive tame :)
Just pump health and when I mean pump health I mean PUMP THAT HEALTH! These guys die so quickly. I know it says on stats they have 320 health at level 1 but seriously they are so STUPID! in the wild, they sometimes jump in the middle of the most unuasual time and they instantly die even if the Manta is level 999 and even if its tamed it will only take MAXIMUM 9 seconds to die on land. AND ALSO IN BATTLES I DONT KNOW WHY BUT IT FEELS LIKE THEY HAVE HEALTH DEBUFF cause apparently they die so quick, especially to megalodons. Weird...
So just pump health.

There was a whale with a 150 manta. I tried to tame with angler gel and a plesiosaur. (Don’t bask why I as taming hen I had a plesiosaur) The 7 mantas following whale just let me tame the one, and it never even attacked me. I PUNCHED IT AND IT JUST REDUCED TAMING EFFECTIVENESS AND DID NOT AGGRO.
To the idiot who said they only eat gels,they also eat fish meat.
They are very very deadly if you are brand new like me they will like kill you in 3 shots I recommend using a far range attack
Very easy to tame... Just ride an Ichi and the manta will ignore you, unless you hop out of your ride. Good luck taming!
First tame a dolphin then go to the bottom of the sea and kill and anglerfish to get the gel then follow one around until it’s tamed
Go within a 10000000000 mile radius if u want to find one
To all the people being late like it’s violent and not non violent the tamings non violent not the thing your taming
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 an eye out for any of its friends) and closed the trap.
After that, it was as simple as swimming between the pillars on the opposite side of the gate and feeding it anglergel until it was mine. Got a breeding pair of them now.
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 :)
If you dont know how to effectivly fight these, dont. You may learn the hard way.
