How do I kill a manticore? manticore battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
This is one of the easiest bosses to do in a alpha tribe. Get 2 insane lvl velonasour. They should be about 1500 or higher melee. Then tame a turtle with like 70 -100k health and good saddle. Then send the turtle to soak and shoot with velo. This can be done solo with 3000 percent damage velo and 100k hp turtle
This boss is pretty easy, I was able to defeat the manticore with 7 fire wyverns not even mutated just level 190 with 35 points in health and damage and also some yutyrannus for help me kill golems on the ground and boost the wyverns
Hard is what I have to say hard
This thing deals torpor damage to tamed dinos! All my 9 Wyverns got knocked!
K one thing DONT BRING WYVERNS IT WILL KNOCK THEM OUT I suggest bring rexes and yuties
When fighting it BRING A TON OF rexs and wear a mask so you don't get knocked out
Make sure your mount doesnt get knocked out while you are near by just please.
Manticore, definitely the easiest boss ever, just breed Rexs for some mutation, I prefer atleast 20HP i 20Melee mutations, 1 Yutyrannus will be enough, just wait for him to land and focus just on him, Golems and Deathworms are there just to stole your time. Easy Manticore strategy, you can do it solo and i recommend you to get atleast 2 gas masks with you so you don't get knocked out.
Best way by far is bringing as much lightning wyverns as possible. (Most I ever brought was 12 you could probably Cram more into the arena) Make sure you hatch them from lvl 190 eggs and breed them. Bring hundreds of stimulants and put them in the wyvern you will ride. Bring a gas mask or two, an assault rifle with a couple hundred bullets. A rocket launcher with at least 12 rockets. Medical brews and water and food. When you first load in get the wyverns to attack the manticore and pump the stimulants on your wyvern when it’s torpor rises. Be aware it will knock out your wyverns very easily. I brought 9 lvl 250 wyverns into the gamma manticore and the manticore knocked out 7 of them and killed one of them.
I have heard of a bug that can help with fighting this have your wyverns on following and when they get knocked out move away there is bug where they fly knocked out and still attack!
Bring wyverns just over LVL 200 and turn lightning power off because
it probably kills your own Dino’s
Flyers are permitted in this arena, enough said.
If your fighting it us a lightning wyvern cause you can melt his health bar
Try to bring at least 2 mate boosters Magmasaurs. They do maximum damage to the rock golem minions and bypass their Armor, magmasaurs also get stronger in hot environments and since this guy is in a desert the Magmasaur gets that hot environment boost
For this guy you can bring flyers, so just bring 15 Lightning Wyverns. (Some of them might die.)
I used a argentavis army and it worked really well
Just bring deinonychus that are imprinted and mutated in health damage and stam
NEVER and If I say never i actually mean NEVER Fight it with unridden Wyvern's! The KI can't really Hit him ans only get's damage. Better tey Rex rushing!
Considered the second easiest boss in ark i mean I'm sure you know that but here's a little tip for you don't bring Wyverns i f you do the boss will never land just bring 19 Rexs and one Yuti the healing pig is not necessary cuz the boss doesn't do much damage
10+ high leveled lightning wyverns will work, even for alpha. Make sure to imprint them and bring lots of food. By bringing wyverns, the rock elementals and deathworm won't be able to hit you, and if you're high on melee, the manticore will die in a few minutes.
