Tips & Strategies

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.
More Mantis Taming & KO Tips
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.
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.
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.
these mantises are on crystal isles, and you need horns to tame them. But there are NO deathworms on crystal isles! wut the heck!
