Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a manta? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a manta.
It says non-violent because you don’t knock it out to tame! It’s a passive tame :)
I had to spend about an hour trying to get angler gel
It takes a loong to eat the second time, be patient
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
To all the people being late like it’s violent and not non violent the tamings non violent not the thing your 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
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.
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 :)
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.

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.
Very easy to tame... Just ride an Ichi and the manta will ignore you, unless you hop out of your ride. Good luck taming!
Never enter waters which are infested by them if you are not riding an ichty or wearing bug spray as they will kill you as they usually move in packs. Oh and they eat eals
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.
I found mine by a sea sausage around the Southern Islets. It was a relatively quick tame after the first feed. I had to save up for an outpost (25 amber) so I could make a scuba tank, but once I had it, there wasn’t much else to do but find one. I rode on Ran, my Baryonyx, and the manta never aggroed. It only took 9 or so angler gel for a level 27 (11% per feed). I brought her home and named her Anandimide. I’m kinda disappointed that you can’t pull out a map or spyglass from the back, but the speed and strength of the animal makes up for it.
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 recommend using four metal Dino gates, with 2 gate doors, wade in manta waters and lure one into the trap to prevent them from wandering anywhere… I’ve tamed every single one of my mantas in crystals isles near eldritch isles with utmost ease…especially during events with 2x or 3x ~ Ghost
Use an itchy to tame as mantas dont agro on them
Tame it on an icthy, it won’t attack you that way
These things are like jetskis. Good for racing in water
