Build a cage 2x2x2 with a ramp to lead it into. Once it falls in, go far away and come back to reset aggression. Then you don't when have to sneak up on it, you can tame it through the wall or a small window. Easy.

Sinoms and mana make this the easiest as you can tame. Armor up fly up and press x to parachute down and land on it and feed fly away. Can even do it with out repellent use mana to clear area. Easy pickings.

So apparently the babies like to stay in kangaroo pouches well up to like 25% so far. That's two good imprints I think (i missed a few hours to know that for sure but I think I'm right)

Pick it up with wyvern go over water and jump off and tame

There also found in the valconoe region underneath in the lava caverns. Why? Idk but it is what it is

Dont knock it out remember passive tame.

You can drop these in the water in Ragnarok and they won't agro, you can just swim up behind it and feed it a deathworm horn/ Wooly Rhino Horn!

Trapping them in a building never worked for me. Even when not aggro i could not feed it. If taming in the desert use a flying combat mount. Use bug spray on the mount and yourself so you can land,dismount,feed and fly off clearing nearby dinos until next feed. This stops it aggroing on your mount and helps you avoid chasing it around on foot losing food/water

Be careful and step away after feeding if you are on official, the lag makes it hard and sometimes they randomly aggro despite having all counter measures on. Good luck!!

(Old school) apply bug repellent and land on mantis head pinning it down, can feed from there. New way simply land skiff and it will continue to walk but never move, can tame out mantis easily, remember apply bug repellent before getting out the drivers seat. (Wear ghillie) also remember bug repellent and cactus broth stack, for extra safety.

The versatility and movement ability of the mantis is amazing for harvesting asteroids. The jump move and general movement speed help to move you around extremely fast in space, making this tame very valuable on genesis 2. Equip a good pick and harvest away!

Give it tek swords it will destroy everything

It says they're exclusive to Scorched Earth, but they're also on Ragnorok.

For easy tame make a 1x1 about 4 high with metal walls and 1 metal foundation. Make the bottom 1x1 using metal door frames and a door on each. use wyvern to pick one up and drop it on top it's take a bit of practise but eventually the mantis will fall to bottom. Apply big repellant and have full gillie on. You can feed the horns through the door. Its might even work with normal walls at bottom never tried it. Also you could try adding ramps on all 4 sides from top to bottom sometimes you can kite it up into middle. This is by far safest way to do it without anything else bothering you.

To the person who said that the female should eat the male. I somewhat disagree just because there’s a chance the baby will be poop while the dad was a rather good tame, rather the female would just attack the male until on low HP (such as 100 health?) so then some people that are less patient (like me) don’t go insane about what just happened and just keep a salty attitude towards the mum and baby

You'll find an abundance of them in the desert and at volcano so use a chainsaw to get alot of organic poly

Mantis eggs may bug out . I was ecited to get my first to raise and my mantis pop the egg but there was no egg¡¡¡¡ wdf

Since TLC 3 , this creature is breedable. You cannot pick up it's fertilized eggs , so make sure you have a proper breeding area.

Need deathworm horns? We go to scorched, 50 80 , and walk rex or giga back and fourth, north to south... getting horns. They spawn almost instant after kill and re/rendering a short distance north or south to next respawned ☆Stizzy☆Dinosty☆

I bred a level 189 mantis and his melee attack was 199, I realized I had a acendent sword, I put it on him and now he does 1209 regular and 1489 ultimate, he's my new guard dog
