They can tame fast with rhino horns. Up so Dododex can change the info please and thank you

These should have something else to tame them with besides horns. Like a kibble, spoiled meat, etc. don’t you agree?

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

Tame a giga with a 10K health mantis with 200-500 percent damage holding 2 clubs.🧐

Please don’t listen to the boy who said with bug repellant, ghille and cactus broth that the aggro range is “literally zero” cause it’s not.. you can get super duper close without aggravating it but you can’t get too close so still be careful and try not to stand so close you can touch it or it will STILL AGGRO.

I got jumpscared by one of the mantis and I lost my wyvern I was crying

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

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

1. Build a 1x1 box, 2 walls high with a ramp or stairs on one side.

2. Get the snippy psycho to follow you into the box.

3. Once it's in there, run out of aggro range and come back.

4. Start taming with rhino or deathworm horns through the wall.

No ghillie or bug spray needed!

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

You should be able to breed them but the female eats the male

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

If you get an tek engram can you use tek swords on these things like the post for yes

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 :(
