Mantis
Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Mantis in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Make sure to get low levels for breeding, they have more chance to have more leval ups and are good for staurting as a nub.
I hate taming stuff like the mantis that’s a passive tame but is still aggressive. Huge pain. Bring some ghillie, it helps a lot.
I am having nightmares about that THING
These are a passive tame!!! Don’t be dumb like me and famous YouTubers
Why do they eat deathworm horns??? Deathworms are way too powerful for a mantis to kill!
Go to rag and take a shadowmane through 5o the ice worm queen get 20 horns. You should escape with around 30 from the lvl1 worms that drop 1. Use some repellent on a wyvern kill the vultures and other creatures easy tame.
THEY ARE A PASSIVE TAME just use a ghille suite and bug repellent and feed it death worm horns there you go
Mind that taming progress will drop if the mantis' food is empty which is because rhino horn doesnt give much food value and takes longer time to tame. U may drag a corpse to the mantis, when it attacks the corpse the food will be filled.
Perfect for knocking out wyverns with good quality clubs takes only couple of hits to knock one out. Wyvern milk for days :)
Give it scissors and now go knock some stuff out
Can knockout alot of things with a club even rexes
Use a bola to pin the mantis in place. Then feed it the deathworm horns.
(ONLY ON SCORCHED EARTH AND RAGNAROK)
Can be also found on raganok but scorched earth is better option
MANTIS OP!!! GET A WYVERN TO KILL IT! I rage sry
You can carry with a crab. Found this out recently
You can use spoiled meat but not with bug repel
By far the very best ga there in the game.Equip it with the right tool and gather anything.
Best way is if you have a wyvern trap ... put some ramps at behemoth gate door make sure your pillars are tight all the round trap. Put 2 pillars were you leave gap for argy to get through :) . They deserve a group fast and is easy to get in and out
Build a 1x2 building 2 walls high. Keep one end open to lure the mantis in and a door on the otherside to walk out of. Once in place the 2 walls behind it blocking it in and replace the doorframe with a wall. If it's agro on the walls fly straight up on a bird until the…
Build a 1x2 building 2 walls high. Keep one end open to lure the mantis in and a door on the otherside to walk out of. Once in place the 2 walls behind it blocking it in and replace the doorframe with a wall. If it's agro on the walls fly straight up on a bird until the mantis is out of render distance then fly back down. . You should then be able to walk up to a wall without bugspray or gillie and feed it through the wall
