Tips & Strategies
I don’t know if it’s happened to anyone else but when in the lava wyvern trench on lost island watch out for mantis as well as wyverns because I've had a few jump out at me, sure it’s not the most deadly thing in the world when it’s wild but it can give you a bit of a jump scare when it jumps at you from out of nowhere. (This is more for when your on a mount with decent health and speed like a maewing or a mana)
More Mantis Encountering Tips
Where do they spawn on lost island? Sky arrow if spawn deep in the desert
Although they look menacing they are actually quite weak against other dinosaurs. You can kill those with an Argy. They give A LOT of organic polymer, so come prepared.
Ok the creature you kill to tame the mantis are endgame but mantises are mid game that makes no sense
Where do these things spawn in extinction? My best guess is the outer part of the map
Be warned that they have a fairly long range pounce, and do good damage. Don't fight these unless you're truly prepared.
They spawn on Lost Island in the desert in the bottom of the map.
Gillie suit cactus broth and bug repellent..kill all other creatures near and around the mantis feed from behind.
They aren’t in mobile so for all those people out there who plays only mobile don’t waste time trying to find them
Mantis are one of the best sources of organic polymer.
Kill em and chop em up with a chainsaw for best results.
Go to Eden’s Ring (Rockwell’s Biome) and have a high damage and speed guy and go crazy
