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
These should have something else to tame them with besides horns. Like a kibble, spoiled meat, etc. don’t you agree?
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.
How to Tame a Mantis:
1. Absolutely obliterate some Deathworms because you’re a gigachad and don’t feel fear..or you can kill some Woolly Rhinos, that works too.
2. Prepare, get a full suit of ghillie armor and maybe some bug repellent just to be sure. Get your deathworm horns and make it to the desert or wherever you’re taming it
3. Find a nice Mantis, probably 145-150, sneak up on it and shove the horns right up it’s ass
4. Name your Mantis, they can hold a variety of tools, pickaxes, hatchets, swords and pikes, they also have a jump attack that’ll drain stamina but does quite a lot of damage

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.
Kill every vulture in area if can. They will aggro on mantis and make tameing bar restart.
Mantis can now be tamed with Wooly Rhino Horns
On Fjordur, you can find rocks in the volcano area that resemble fossilized Death Worms, which can be harvested for Death Worm Horns, making taming them much easier there, if you have the rest of the necessary equipment
Use bug repellent and cactus broth when taming, this makes agro range literally 0.
