How do I kill a manticore? manticore battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
I joined a random server and found the arena and then a tribe with Rex’s and stuff summoned it I sneaked in behind them they lost but I managed to kill it by looting the dead bodys 😂
Heres a tip FOR ALL THE PEOPLE SAYING YOU CAN FORCETAME IT IN THE ARENA- if u go into the bosses arena and forcetame it.... you'll be stuck there forever bc the boss gotta die in order for u to leave. :)
Just use raptors to kill it but it will take some time to get mutations but when done it’s worth it
Bring around 6-7 or more rexs and when it lands everyone get around it and trap it. Deathworms will come and knock u back but just keep moving forward slowly so u dont get pushed out. Even when the rock golems come don't stop hitting it. Goodluck boys :)
How to kill a gamma manticore
1. Get 19 argentavis. They don't even have to be mutated just get 2 150 argentavis and breed them until you have 19
2. Tame a 150 yutyrannis their roar ability can be used to buff you argentavis
3. Once your in the arena send your agentavis at the manricore, stay on your yuty and keep roaring. Rock golem and worms will spawn on you just run away.
4. This method took me about 15 minutes try it yourself
When fighting the manticore a good strategy is bring in high level Rex's with good saddles and circle the manticore it then becomes pinned allowing you to kill it without it flying all around .... watch out for the poison it shoots at you though it will kill you off your mount like the poison wyvern ..
Ok so, the wiki says that if the manticore is not landing or is glitched, then to move all of your tames to a single point in the arena because it’s a glitch where it thinks it doesn’t have room to land. Also, if that still doesn’t work, try shooting it, it could cause an aggro to you and make it land. -Ace
YOU FIGHT IT AT THE SAME TIME AS THE DRAGON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(On Ragnarok)
Some rexes and your good to go
Always bring some gas masks for this fight
When fighting this guy, make sure you bring large dinos. Cause if not the manticore will not land. I brought mantises to this boss fight and it never landed. Hope this tip helped!
Just don’t run away otherwise you will get backstabbed because it is so fast
It's low on hps when golems come
DO NOT USE WYVERNS ON THIS GUY! There breath attack doesn’t work on him and wyverns melee sucks.
Bring a gas mask to avoid getting killed of knocked off your tame
actually useful tip here:
i fought the gamma manticore. i got 16-17 (can’t remember, it was a while ago) high level rexes (lvl 150+, so probably overkill + imprinted) and one high level, imprinted yutyrannus. get in fight, get on yutyrannus, give courage to rexes, once it lands, rex rush it, then defend you, the yutyrannus and the rexes from the deathworms. keep doing this, and it dies in 5-10 minutes as long as you remember to keep courage-roaring the rexes with the yutyrannus. make sure you get saddles for all your creatures, and BRING GAS MASKS TO THE FIGHT. IF YOU DON’T, IT’LL KNOCK YOU OUT AND KILL YOU
Just bring a level one dodo and then congrats you died
When I just spawned in my third time in scorched earth I walked into the arena (not knowing) I saw a guy in metal armor and a shotgun riding a terasaur it was pvp so I hid but I saw a enormous storm cloud lighting and stuff and then that FRIC KING DEAMON SWOOPED DOWN AND BRUTALLY MURDERD THAT GUY AND I was behind and well 😵
Bring 1 Yuti and 19 high level fully imprinted direwolfs with at least 12000 health.
Everyone keeps talking about Rexes, but honestly you're better off bringing a health-leveled Yuty and a Wyvern bataillon. They can pursue it through the air and you won't have to worry about Deathworms and Golems. Remember to bring one type of Wyvern ONLY, otherwise they will damage each other with their breath weapons.
