Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Mantis in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.

The alternate attack does harvest way more than the regular attack. Doing it on element veins you will gather much more element and shards than dust. Vice versa with regular attack.

Hi I’m the tame helper and help all of you guys tame a mantis 1 you’ll need rhino horns or deathworm horns 2 I recommend a mantis deaggro trap which is one stone foundation lurk it in with 6 walls beside and in front of it and 2 doorways

On Ragnarok, lure them into deep water. They only stay on the surface, so once you dive underwater, they'll lose aggro and you can feed from underneath. No ghille suit or bug repellant required!

Best way to farm an element vein. Get an Ascendant Pickaxe and swing away. Do the outer ones first. Level only melee. Weight doesnt matter because in the end you want more element and can just carry it on your flyer.

You have to have horns deathmorm horns make taming faster put the horns in your last slot (putting on bug repellent helps) feed it horns until tamed (note if it sees you you will not de able to feed it)

I would not suggest giving these things primitive items. Give them better stuff instead because they blow through durability when mining rocks. And also, if they break their tool, don’t share your own. They’ll break that too. 😂

If you don’t want to make bug repellent if taming on the server is very high just get a flyer on passive and drop on the mantis while spamming the passive tame button (works best with wyverns) and it should tame if you do it right and for baby mantis they eat spoiled meat…

(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.

You need to get one

1 get bug repellent, kill deathworms, get chillies armour and maybe a canteen or two

2 eat the bug repellent and put the deathworm horns in your last slot, find a high level and sneak up from behind. once you feed it run away and repeat

3 make…

when breeding of you set male to breed first then use copy to others you can breed multiple females at the same time idk if you could always do this so now you know if you didn't 👍😁👍

BEST GATHERING CREATURE EVER! can use tools (pickaxe, sichle, hatchet, sword, club, pike) to harvest everything u want! u need them to gather in "industrial"-amounts...!!!

Trap it in a 1 by 2 trap, one wall high. It's legs or butt will stick out somewhere, go to it and get the angle where you can feed it the horns! No Ghille required
