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

Lure it to the surface with a turtle then stand on the back of the turtle and feed it make sure the turtle is on passive

Use bug repellent so it does not agro or you can trap it with pillars or on the shore

When you get off it, it will spring forward a few yards. So do not discount near land

Can no longer grab with Kapro :'(

Get a basilosaurus and get the manta you want to tame, agro it to the balsilo and you will be able to tame the manta since its attacking the basilo instead of you. (The basilos food will drain quickly so get it some food)

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.

It takes a loong to eat the second time, be patient

You dont need insect repellent but it helps unless its stuck in a rock

I would make stone fences and door frames to tap it but don’t leave it or the take will despawn CAPTN YUMMY

For anybody that doesn’t know about Achatinas, they are the answer to your angler gel needs, just get a high dmg raptor or Caron find one, and kill it with the extra attack you get more angler gel.

These things are like jetskis. Good for racing in water

When taming place a stone foundations with doorframes on all sides except for one in the water with doorframes just under the water, aggro the manta in the spot and place a doorframe to lock it in. You can feed it while it aggro to a wall for safe taming.

Dont tame them close to a megalodon the meg does not like them and kills them all the time over and over again. I learnt from experience on my first go.

Angler Gel can be acquired by simply killing achatinas in mobile for some reason

Never I mean never bring your high level Rex in the water in the center map because like 20 of these things killed my level 171 Rex after I tamed it and was going to lava island and my Rex fell off the boat.

It is a passive tame but it will kill you and eat you if it sees you

They can jump out of water, which is useful to jump between rivers, but beware, if they jump on land, they will lose lots of health, very rapidly.

Build a 1x1 stone hut under water swim out the door then back in they cant get in but the will try and get stuck at the door

Taming calculator is very off. Feeding interval is 28 seconds and I tamed a 95 that came to 129 not 120.
