Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a manta? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a manta.
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
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.
It is a passive tame but it will kill you and eat you if it sees you
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.
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.
Once these are tamed they are speed and can be used for underwater travel fast.
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
These shits can’t be knocked out on mobile
I would make stone fences and door frames to tap it but don’t leave it or the take will despawn CAPTN YUMMY
On PC: no longer grabbed by Karpo, no longer can be fed while on Ichtyo (prompt does not appear). They also aggro on Ichtyo.
Pelagornis was my way to tame the thing: after feeding flee as fast as you can.
It's actually easy to tame, just stay in the water with it and keep swimming away from it (on a passive water mount) and just keep circling round it and feeding. Don't go near the shore tho no matter what
Tamed up a couple easy jut try to find a ledge in water get it stuck on ledge
So I found this tip on taming a manta while I was recording a video with my friend and I was taming a manta cuz we had too much gel (we lived in an underwater cave) and im here to share the tip with you
Step 1:aggro a manta (or a horde of mantas, regardless it will work)
Step 2: go into the underwater cave and jump on the ledge, this will force the manta to stay at the surface of the water not even noticing you.
Step 3:feed the manta gel until it is tamed
Boom, you have a manta, while I've only tried this on mobile, im fairly confident it will work on pc/console too
Share this with anyone who needs help taming a manta
Taming calculator is very off. Feeding interval is 28 seconds and I tamed a 95 that came to 129 not 120.
How to tame a manta
1.im playing on easy casual on mobile so this might be different for you
2. Get some angler gel just use a mehladon or an itchy
3.find one in a group
4. Use an ichy they don’t attack them while mounted
5.you got yourself an manta
Passive tame? Passive my butthole DodoDex
In mobile, the first feed takes a looong time, but the rest of the feeds take a short time. No idea what it’s like on pc and console.
So this worked out fine for me but it may not for you so just make a box in the water make the manta agro on the box and it should attempt to destroy it and then you can tame it this is it
Non violent means passive tame lmao
