Tips & Strategies

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.
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.
Use bug repellent and cactus broth when taming, this makes agro range literally 0.
Ok the creature you kill to tame the mantis are endgame but mantises are mid game that makes no sense
Use bug repellant and a gillie suit. It allows you to get close without it attacking you.
Kill every vulture in area if can. They will aggro on mantis and make tameing bar restart.
Eggs cannot be moved, much like bloodstalker. Cannot eat cooked meat or will starve.
Give it clubs and set it to “only target awake peeps” and tell it to attack something you wanna tame (don’t mount) wait a bit then you have a tamed giga
Good luck with the giga!

You can’t even tame them on crystal isles
I found 6 deathworm horns in a puprle supply drop on Crystal Isles, so if you really want to tame mantis on Crystal Isles look for purple supply drops.
If you equip an ascendant club (or any club really) you can use the mantis as an effective taming mount I knock out rexes and carnos with it
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
The alternate attack does harvest way more than the regular attack. Doing it on element veins you will gather much more element and shards than dust. Vice versa with regular attack.
