Cactus broth, bug repellant and ghillie suit. They won’t aggro on you unless you are right up their face.

This insect can carry tools and use them to get cooler resources

Ride on a flying animal and get directly above his head. Jump off and hit your tame button immediately before he goes aggressive

Give it a club and it can KO other dinos for you to tame

Put it in a taming pen so nothing attacks it while taming

Tried basic, extordinary, supiour kibble did not work

Mantis are excellent for extinction, get a couple Gigas or Manas and farm element nodes once the nodes are finished get a mantis will all point in melee and the best metal pickaxe you can find and you have yourself an easy 300+ element

When equipped with swords THEY ARE THE MOST OP DINO🤬😡😡😡

I just use bug repellent without a ghillie suit and it works fine. Don't forget to use bug repellant on you and your mount if u bring one. And also be leary once you tame it if there are nearby bug creatures, they may ignore you but will attack the mantis right when it tames.

Place one foundation, then put two walls high on every side. You can then drop the Mantis in there. (it's easiest with a quetzal, but wyverns will work too) Then you just stand outside of the box and feed it, without worrying about it attacking you, or anything attacking it.

This thing Can hold swords , picks, axes, Clubs!!!!!!

They are passive feeders, you're gonna need some horns and bug repellant

I spent 2 hours finding deathworm horns on scorched earth. To find the latest update telling me all that was useless.

Mantis can now be tamed on Gen 2 using Rhino Horns per Wildcard.

I was able to knock out a lvl 100 bronto so easily with only 160 club, 380 attack and imprint buff. Also really good for knocking out crystal wyverns but you need to force feed meat after two wyverns because the mantis has low health. No more tranq darts needed!

You can’t even tame them on crystal isles

Pack bug repellent and a raptor. Without them, you’re toast. P.S. If you have no repellent, the mantis might trick you to following it and it will do a sneaky attack.

Combine with good clubs for near instant tame

Landing on it with wyvern might make it despawn and waste your valuable horns!

If you tame a lot of low level female mantis they lay eggs you can use to make mantis kibble, which lets you tame a rock elemental super fast and efficient!~L
