How do you tame non violent things that try to kill you 24 7?

It’s a good harvester for wood thatch and other materials

On Fjordur near the beach you can find what looks like stone/fossilized deathworms. These can be mined for horn

If your on ragnarok just go in the ice dungeon and farm the ice worm males for a bit. They spawn like every 30 seconds and drop horns and some other valuables

definitely worth getting its like a super human, pump all its points into damage and maybe some into health and weight. this guy gets a lot of any resource and can do tons of damage with an ascendant sword

Pick it up with a wyvern or an argy and drop it in water, fly far away enough for it to drop agro and and swim up to it but make sure to swim underwater or it will agro and not allow you to feed it

They drop organic polymer which can be used for ghille armor. Ran into 2 as I was leaving a cave and barely killed them using a pike. Dont ever let your guard down in caves, even when leaving and it was empty before

Don't bother with guillie armor or bug repellent. You don't need it.

Pick it up with a compatible flyer and drop it in deep water.

You need a deathworm horn to passive tame it and hey presto!

I would highly suggest taking the mantis you want to tame to the dragon arena out in the desert using a wyvern/quetz. The area is enclosed and allows you to tame the mantis without wild disturbances.

Build a small trap that leads down to the one by one. Have the mantis walk ( lag ) itself in. Then you will be able to feed it through the wall. No need for ghilie or repellent

These things jump far . This is a helpful tip, not all helpful tips are that long!!!!!

When taming with rhino horns the interval is lower than stated at the moment. A 90 with rhino horns takes 45 seconds between feedings after the first. Wait too long and you'll lose progress.

You can carry a mantis with anything aslong as you have a grapple, the grapple wont cut and the mantis will fly with you. Usefull for taking a mantis from an enemy element vien.

You can use something to pick it up and put it into the water, use a ghillie suit and go underneath it with the horns you need to tame it :)))

Build a cage 2x2x2 with a ramp to lead it into. Once it falls in, go far away and come back to reset aggression. Then you don't when have to sneak up on it, you can tame it through the wall or a small window. Easy.

Go to Eden’s Ring (Rockwell’s Biome) and have a high damage and speed guy and go crazy

Grab with a crab for easy tame

Breeded tip , you can use spoiled meat
