As of the latest update, these can now be tamed with rhino horns, though with lower effectiveness.

More of a question. Why can't it fly???

When breeding eats spoiled meat

if you are trying to get eggs, they need to be left on areas of the map marked as “wilderness”. on the island its herb island. on ragnarok its the area by the hidden scar where the sand and grass meet.

I got jumpscared by one of the mantis and I lost my wyvern I was crying

Use bug repellent to get close to tame

This thing is like the Chuck Norris of gathering. It can literally gather anything really good

One of the best games in the game. It has good base stats, and has the special ability to use player tools (axe, pickaxe, sword, club, etc)so it makes amazing harvester, or combat tanks, or knock outers. You will however need to be smart in how you spec points depending on what you want for you mantis. If you want a harvester spec stamina and weight, for combat health and melee, knock outer health melee and stamina. Happy taming.

You can combine these with a regular tek parasaur breeding farm to make the ultimate resource farm

Farm chitin by killing these guys. Simply kill the mantis then use a sword on its corpse. You will be amazed.

These can be grappled so the easiest way to tame once you’ve acquired the horns is to go to the Ragnarok Highlands North and search the black coast for a high level. Use your grapple to grapple it and drag it into the water where it will deagro and you can feed it easily. Happy hunting survivors. 🦗

If you see it and are landing on a flying mount land somewhere else that are fast and can jump at you also a lot of times they are with other things like spiders and centipedes so look out for other things if your going to tame.

Dont me on lost island. Found lvl 90 Mantis and beat it with a club, realize it was a passive tame after knocking the hell out of the bug.

This creature is in the top 5 dinos for harvesting in 16 different categories and ranks high in several others

These are master of resource gathering. like avatar but master of all resources

These guys are very good at harvesting metal if you have one with decent weight as you can hold the mining drill while riding one (somehow) but yoy can mine metal with their pickaxes and transfer the metal onto your character

You need bug repellent, and a ghille suit to tame them than you crouch and sneak up behind it with a death worm/rhino horn in your last item slot and press Y on Xbox and E on pc

Can get more hide then a few 5 stars like the direwolf and sabertooth with a metal hatchet in its hand even tho the wiki says it's only a 4 star.

Use a megatherium to kill death worms (when they have the insect buff they get a 350% mele buff to insects <death-worms are insects> and take reduced damage) use a full ghille suite and bug spray when taming and have a tribe mate hold a mantis low to the ground with a wyvern while feeding. Fast and easy. Put the horns in taming slot…Walk up and feed then run out of agro until it’s ready to eat again and you have a new pet.

On gen 2 if you put swords in its hands it Collect sap. From the yellow trees.
