Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a manta? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a manta.
I feel like it should not say non violent tame because this thing is very violent
AnglerMeat boii
Hiw to tame one:
1. Don't bring tranq arrows or narcotics coz they passive tame
2. They prefer AnglerGel (can be obtained by harvesting dead anglers or achatinas)
3. Ride am Itchthy to tame while not being attacked or lead it to shallow water then feed it the AnglerGels.
4. Now you have a Manta! Tamed ones only eat meat or fish meat and are pretty fast btw.
You have 2 ways (by what i know) to tame it. The first and easiest way is to tame an ichty, because it doesn't get agro, then grab some angler gel and tame the manta.
The other way is to use a bug repellent and feed it the gels.
After tamed, you can feed it meat.
When taming use bug repelent to prevent the manta from attacking you
Surprisingly bug spray actually works with these guys I was bored and tryed it and it worked!!! No argro if u WEAR bug spray!!!!
I step in the water near them, next thing i knew i was a bag
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
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.
Ive found they are much easier to tame when they busy following a basilo around XD
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
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?
Kill all the other mantas before taming cause they will kill your new recruit….
Trust me I found out the hard way….
Eats at 28 seconds, not 11
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
If you pump your levels into speed and skim the surface while using sprint you can use Carbo shells as jumps.
Guys!!! Need angler gel just kill achatinas (snail 🐌) and then hit the body with a sword and there angler gel.
Disregard my previous comment, they still get angry even when fed AnglerGel, it just didn’t look like it to me because the previously tamed manta was stuck in it’s spot.
These water pancakes should be fed angler gel while riding an ichty because they will attack anything else except an ichty. They do surpringly high damage so be careful if you dismount.
Use a water taming raft and trap it in a corner with stone door frames and tame. Make sure you have a bed on the raft
Warning these things are normally pretty hungry after you tame it and will starve if you put angler gel in their inventory as they eat normal fish meat afterwards
