If playing on valgero you cannot tame due to no deathworms

Do not be me and knock out a 150 after searching 3 hours coming to realize it's a passive tame.

Theziosaur: I'm the ultimate harvester!!!
Mantis: Hold my beer bruh.

Use bug repellent and cactus broth when taming, this makes agro range literally 0.

If u find one run like hell or it'll cut up your face with swords

Kill every vulture in area if can. They will aggro on mantis and make tameing bar restart.

Best method I was told. Build a 2x2 stone [or wood if low] foundation with 2 high walls, drop in with flyer, feed through wall. Has a massive hitbox to feed it through if lured close to a wall. No repel needed with this method.

The mantis can be used to tame other creatures by equipping clubs. The higher the melee of the mantis and the club, the faster you can knock things out

The most versatile of Scorched Earths creatures. A Mantis can hold the roles of multiple different creatures depending on the tools or weapons it has equipped. Picks and Hatchets make them ultimate harvesters, Pikes and Swords can turn them into deadly combat mounts and Clubs can allow them to quickly down creatures for taming, they have no need for Sickles since they can harvest fiber by default. However you'll need to level it's stats depending on the role you plan to assign it to. For example, if you want too make a Mantis a harvester weight and Melee are what you'll want to go for, if you want it to be a expert at combat health and Melee with some stamina in case things go wrong and you have to flee are the way to go since there pounce attack is enough to quickly cover ground and escape a aggressor, and KO'ers really need nothing more then health in case the target is something strong that fights back and some Melee to increase the amount of torpor inflicted by the clubs

Advice:
-Aquire mantis
-Level melee as much as possible
-Equip with ascendant wooden clubs
-Ultimate wyvern knockout machine

Best tame on the game! Had so much fun with mine, knocking out of dino's with club, mining, killing.... Can so so much! Even knocked out my 150 shark with it.

Just don't leave it on passive RIP 260 mantis :(

Just take a death worm horn and shove it up it’s ass

Have a tribe mate land on the mantis with a wyvern. They won't move for the entire taming process.

They can hold any tool and are the best at gathering almost everything.

Best way to farm an element vein. Get an Ascendant Pickaxe and swing away. Do the outer ones first. Level only melee. Weight doesnt matter because in the end you want more element and can just carry it on your flyer.

Thumbs up if you think wildcard should put a grab attack on the mantis

1 mantis, 1 Asc hatchet or pick, 1 swamp, endless mushrooms

Farm chitin by killing these guys. Simply kill the mantis then use a sword on its corpse. You will be amazed.

The mantis Lays eggs more often in the Desert (the desert also has 100% wind)

Lure it into the water and get tame it from behind. It can't jump in the water
