I feel like it should not say non violent tame because this thing is very violent

Here is my plan I do

I kill anglers for angler jell on my itchy and feed them mantas

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.

I step in the water near them, next thing i knew i was a bag

Guys!!! Need angler gel just kill achatinas (snail 🐌) and then hit the body with a sword and there angler gel.

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

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.

Oddly, if you apply bug repellant to yourself and your mount, mantas won't aggro on either of you as easily.

Eats at 28 seconds, not 11

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

Place a stone foundation then 4 stone door frames and a hatch frame on top get it to agro onto you and use the structure as a sort of shark cage if it goes away just reapt it getting agro on you

When taming, make a box using gates as far into the water as you can (but still a bit on shore). Use foundations and door frames on the open end facing the shore to make the space for the manta to beach itself on smaller (make sure the door frames are on the inside of the foundations so it can’t splat onto them)

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

To all the people being late like it’s violent and not non violent the tamings non violent not the thing your taming

If you pump your levels into speed and skim the surface while using sprint you can use Carbo shells as jumps.

Taking it is actually pretty easy,just ride on your pelagornis and slowly start feeding it angler gell(which can be found in snails on mobile)make sure it’s near shore and away from predators!(like other mantas)its a passive tame so make sure not to get killed in the process

Apparently if you lure one of these to a rock and then feed it AnglerGel, the manta will no longer be angered by you. Not sure how that works seeing as their aggressive, but I’ll take it.

Surprisingly in mobile ark, if you attack achatinas with raptors, as I have learned from my own experience, you can get angler gel. I have never gone past the shallows in the ocean, yet I have multiple stacks of angler jell. Hope y’all can find this helpful. Don’t know if it works on other versions of ark though.

I had to spend about an hour trying to get angler gel

They're suicidal! Trapping them is advised so they don't jump out of the water and onto land.
