How ARK players tame and knock out the Manta: what to feed it, what to knock it out with, and how to keep it safe.

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

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?

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…

It says non-violent because you don’t knock it out to tame! It’s a passive tame :)

To the idiot who said they only eat gels,they also eat fish meat.

Very easy to tame... Just ride an Ichi and the manta will ignore you, unless you hop out of your ride. Good luck 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

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

A method I found involves spinning in circles with it where it can't hit you and occasionally take sharper turns to feed, wear scuba!

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

Use it wisely, this pancake is really strong for early game, and can assist in your sea creature hunting. However, please keep it away from cnidaria, it don't have decent range against these guys. Also, whoever said Baryonyx is good against cnidaria is a pro, so don't…

There was a whale with a 150 manta. I tried to tame with angler gel and a plesiosaur. (Don’t bask why I as taming hen I had a plesiosaur) The 7 mantas following whale just let me tame the one, and it never even attacked me. I PUNCHED IT AND IT JUST REDUCED TAMING…

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…

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 :)

These things are like jetskis. Good for racing in water

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…

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.
