Tips & Strategies

What are tips for manta? Tips and strategies for manta in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
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
Taming calculator is very off. Feeding interval is 28 seconds and I tamed a 95 that came to 129 not 120.
Its fun to rid them.Put points into movement speed and you have a fast water mount.
You can passive tame them like dung beetles.Make sure to have an Ichthyosaurus or use bug repellant when you tame them or they will aggro on you.
They have a slower attack rate but does kinda decent damage.
They are a huge pain in the a**
while taming underwater creatures.
Non violent tame means u dont have to knock it out
I used meat it killed me
...... Never do that
Easy way to get angler gel, kill and harvest achatinas from the redwood biome. If you have a good small mount/weapons there are giant anglers in the hard snow cave which you can kill from the surface and harvest for 100+ gel (with wolf in my experience)
If u are a newbie on the island and u live near mantas do not go in the water! NO MATTER WHAT IT IS IF IT IS NOT A FISH IT WILL GO TO KILL MODE.
If you want to tame it in mobile, ride icythy and oassive taming using angler gel , im farming angler gel in southern cave , using crosbow
I would make stone fences and door frames to tap it but don’t leave it or the take will despawn CAPTN YUMMY
Once these are tamed they are speed and can be used for underwater travel fast.
I hate these things so much you get seen by it it'll try to kill you and if poke it or something now you have 50 Mantas chasing you down.
These things are tricky to tame but I lure one to shore and put fence Foundation and then walls not a specific kind and then feed it angler gel which i got from killing anachita great tactic for lower level players
Build stone fence foundations and doorways 2 wide and 3 long where the shore meets the ocean and lure a manta in placing doorways behind him so he cant leave, passive feed angler gel through the doorway till tamed. These thing are fun to ride but dangerous. They can jump out of water & if you land on any rocks or shore, you will die...
Intervals between feeding is about 26s.
I just tamed one in a pen where it couldn't move.
The interval is more like 26 seconds between each feed
Really neat tames I recommend leveling up in movement speed. If you get a flock of high levels they will destroy water tames.
Guys, jeez, passive tames can be aggriesive. Chalicotheriums are aggriessive, and they are aggriessive, and people don’t argue in the chalicotherium section. Jeez, I just ended a war.
Make sure to take care of these guys before taming a Basilo, cause they'll mess you up right quick
You must kill her angler fish on arc mobile and angular jail to the manta it is a passive team
In mobile, the first feed takes a looong time, but the rest of the feeds take a short time. No idea what it’s like on pc and console.
