The mantis can be used to tame other creatures by equipping clubs. The higher the melee of the mantis and the club, the faster you can knock things out

The most versatile of Scorched Earths creatures. A Mantis can hold the roles of multiple different creatures depending on the tools or weapons it has equipped. Picks and Hatchets make them ultimate harvesters, Pikes and Swords can turn them into deadly combat mounts and Clubs can allow them to quickly down creatures for taming, they have no need for Sickles since they can harvest fiber by default. However you'll need to level it's stats depending on the role you plan to assign it to. For example, if you want too make a Mantis a harvester weight and Melee are what you'll want to go for, if you want it to be a expert at combat health and Melee with some stamina in case things go wrong and you have to flee are the way to go since there pounce attack is enough to quickly cover ground and escape a aggressor, and KO'ers really need nothing more then health in case the target is something strong that fights back and some Melee to increase the amount of torpor inflicted by the clubs

Use a mantis with a wooden club and you can knock out things or scissors they somehow work I knocked out a level 56 pacer with a mantis with a club

Does anyone know how we tame on crystal isles? There is no deathworms

Theres deathworm on ragnarok if u didnt knew so i wish it helps

In Crystal Isles they are awesome with a HATCHET at mining element shards! I was shocked when I saw how much ele i was missing by using a pick Axe with the mantis.

(To person below me) The reason it doesn't harvest anything is because you need to give it the correlating tool for the job, for example, to harvest minerals, give it a pickaxe, for wood an axe, you can give it a sword too but it's unarmed attack is better.

Best method I was told. Build a 2x2 stone [or wood if low] foundation with 2 high walls, drop in with flyer, feed through wall. Has a massive hitbox to feed it through if lured close to a wall. No repel needed with this method.

Advice:
-Aquire mantis
-Level melee as much as possible
-Equip with ascendant wooden clubs
-Ultimate wyvern knockout machine

Don't listen to the guy that said unarmed attacks from the mantis is better. A sword can easily increase it's attack to the 3-4 digits

For babies:spoiled meat gives 50food,raw gives 10

Best tame on the game! Had so much fun with mine, knocking out of dino's with club, mining, killing.... Can so so much! Even knocked out my 150 shark with it.

Just don't leave it on passive RIP 260 mantis :(

Just take a death worm horn and shove it up it’s ass

These guys are amazing if you have good weapons since you can use them to stap the heck out of creatures, use to knockout stuff:with a club, or to gather matreals. WARNING: these guys have bad weight so don't recommend to take these guys for metal unless you have brought anything with good wight

SE has most mantises but all are usually low levels, ragna has more common high levels and horns are easy to get from worm cave. SE has low lags and more color options during event, ragna has megalags and mana abusers that will mess up taming.

Procoptodon will hold mantis up to 28% maturation

Best place to get Deathworm horns is the Ice Queen cave on Ragnarock. Just take a Sabertooth and eat the easy male death worms. Easy horns they spawn back fast. Use them to tame the mantis.

Have a tribe mate land on the mantis with a wyvern. They won't move for the entire taming process.

They added mantis babies in the newest update, I can’t wait to see what kinds of Mantis mutations there can be!

Gillie suit cactus broth and bug repellent..kill all other creatures near and around the mantis feed from behind.
