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

It's a PASSIVE TAME so don't try to beat it up or you will regret it

Remember that mantises can pounce so be well prepared for sneak attacks.

Lure one into a closed trap and seal it off, a 2x2x2 will suffice. You'll leave one wall open until it's in and then place it. A doorway and door on the other side. After that add ceilings and go out of render. Once you come back it should be calm and you can feed it through the walls easily as they almost never move.

You can use a mining drill or/and a shoulder pet for weight reductions while farming

This thing when tamed is insane when paired with a good swordi have a Mastercraft 250 damage sword and my mantis when I found it was a 135

How to tame a mantis the dangerous way

Get Deathworm horns by killing deathworms

Get a flyer and put it on passive

Fly over a high level mantis and jump on top of, then passive feed it.

Run away from the mantis if it doesn't tame right away

Do it again if it doens to work the first time

If you encounter a mantis and you dont know how to deal with it run in zig-zags because they can only run slow and lung so zig-zags will work. If you do know how to handle a mantis good for you 👍

GUYS MANTIS WITH GOOD DAMAGE AND BAT CAN KNOCK OUT INSANE THINGS

If you wish to tame one you will need a rhino or death worm horn. Once one is acquired, pop a bug repellent and a ghille suit(optional) go behind it and boom you know have one of the best games in the game

After taming via pushing deathworm horns deep in its ass, what does it eat? Or does it continue enjoying horns?

I’m a Theri but kinda lacking hp

Taming a mantis?

You’ll need Deathworm horns for faster tame

Woolly rhino for slower

Ghille suit and bug repellent

It will be easier to trap the mantis than to tame it out in the wild as it will aggressively attack almost anything in sight, make sure there’s no corpses either, but once trapped and deagros on your stone trap, you can slowly tame the mantis, if it doesn’t stop deagroing on your stone trap you might have to break it, once you have your tamed mantis have fun!

quite possibly thebest creaturein the game!

you can equip them with melee wepons of Ur choise

I think the only reason this isnt in mobile is because you could do the terror bird pursuit, get the ascendant sword, equip a mantis with one and break the game

How do you tame it on ark survival evolved mobile?

Since you can't put wooly rhino horn on quick tab?

It’s third favorite food is dotame and fourth is force tame lol

You don’t need ghillie or anything really. Just pick it up with a wyvern and drop it deep in the ocean. It won’t aggro and can just feed it in the water. If it does aggro then fly out of render and back and it will work. Some of these other guys making these too difficult and are noobs. Always take the easy route.

Best tame in game for gathering mutagel on gen 2

2x2 foundation 2 door frames high (can do 1 high) bug repellent and Ascendant desert cloth works fine while crouched. Work smarter not harder. If you choose the ghille broth and repellent you definitely working to hard. Relax take a breath and get’r done eh

I love how if you aggro these things mid tame they’re impossible to reset by flying away, and they seem to aggro at random. I have ghillie, bug spray and cactus broth, didn’t even touch this guy, was behind him, crouched, and he still aggroed. Yesterday, spent an hour trying to tame this same idiot and on the last horn it stopped giving me the proc. He wasn’t aggroed, wouldn’t aggro, just stood there. I logged out and in and he was aggroed, just glitched. I’ve seen videos of people doing this in just ghillie, walking right up to them, I’m wondering if on PC the mechanics/aggro range/sensitivity is different than console.
