Super easy to tame, pop a few repellent trap it in a trap lay down and just keep feeding.
Make a 1stone floor and 2 walls high and once it’s in replace the wall it’s attacking and it will be a easy tame for gen 2 and for other maps
They eat whooly rhino or death worm horns have bug repellent on and gillie suit in case sneak behind it and keep feeding it and you have a mantis
Go to rags black Beach then find the highest you can then to lead it to simi deep water then go under it and feed it a woolly rhino horn or death worm horn have fun with your mantis.
I tame lvl 150 just 1 deathworm horn
I got some horns pretty quickly, all u need is a decent megatharium. 2k health and 500% damage was pretty good, and you'll get plenty more levels from the worms
these mantises are on crystal isles, and you need horns to tame them. But there are NO deathworms on crystal isles! wut the heck!
If area is to cold for Mantis egg, place a campfire on either side, right up against the egg.
These can be tamed without Bug Repellent, if it only needs one feed. Sometimes it takes a few tries, but if you have high movement speed and Ghillie you can run up behind it to tame it.
If playing on valgero you cannot tame due to no deathworms
Make sure there are no pegomastax around, they will steal every single one of your death horns if they are in your taming bar. They also seem to glitch into the earth even if you catch them so you will lose them regardless. Better to split then up and add them one at a time
If your trying to tame the mantis and you notice you can feed it. That means it's agro on you just not attacking. Fly away count to ten and go back to it you'll be able to continue the tame
Use bug spray and cactus broth it makes it easier to tame this monster of a tame
(with asendent saddle it is to good)
You NEED bug repellent. I tried getting close to one with full chillie armour and it aggroed at me, I was even crouching
When in a cave use oil jars and flaming arrows to set a fire trap for mantis,sabers,and other cave dwelling creatures
