More Mantis Taming & KO Tips
These should have something else to tame them with besides horns. Like a kibble, spoiled meat, etc. don’t you agree?
Do not be me and knock out a 150 after searching 3 hours coming to realize it's a passive tame.
They can tame fast with rhino horns. Up so Dododex can change the info please and thank you
Mantis can now be tamed with Wooly Rhino Horns
Please don’t listen to the boy who said with bug repellant, ghille and cactus broth that the aggro range is “literally zero” cause it’s not.. you can get super duper close without aggravating it but you can’t get too close so still be careful and try not to stand so close you can touch it or it will STILL AGGRO.
Use bug repellent and cactus broth when taming, this makes agro range literally 0.
Kill every vulture in area if can. They will aggro on mantis and make tameing bar restart.
1. Build a 1x1 box, 2 walls high with a ramp or stairs on one side.
2. Get the snippy psycho to follow you into the box.
3. Once it's in there, run out of aggro range and come back.
4. Start taming with rhino or deathworm horns through the wall.
No ghillie or bug spray needed!
Just take a death worm horn and shove it up it’s ass
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.
