Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Mantis in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
If you equip an ascendant club (or any club really) you can use the mantis as an effective taming mount I knock out rexes and carnos with it
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
Just found this out, a tamed mantis with a paint brush equipped can damage TEK! not as good as a arthro but still is able destroy any structure with it
Theres deathworm on ragnarok if u didnt knew so i wish it helps
The temperature you need to incubate the mantis egg is 37.
They spawn on Lost Island in the desert in the bottom of the map.
Babies now eat raw meat. Enjoy
Wear Ghillie armour and big repellent to get close to feed horns.
To avoid it running off, have a friend agro towards a pen then begin taming as stated.
Make a 1x1 box. Pick up mantis. Drop in box.
You can now passive tame your scythe boy through the wall without bug repellent.
Your welcome.
This creature CAN be tamed by WOLLY RHINO HORNS!!!!

On fjordur there are free deathworm corpses on the volcano island around the tarpits. I got 8 from the 6 bodies laying around. No need to hunt those monstrous worms for one horn.
As much as I hate to admit seeing as how ankys are my favorite tame, this thing equipped with acended pick gets crystal better than the anky. at least anky still number one in metal.
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.
For the guy who said to feed it thought the wall, THANK YOU! And it's absolutely faster taming it with deathworm horn
Plus one to have Dododex to include this things eggs are used in comfort food for jerboas
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
