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?

Do not be me and knock out a 150 after searching 3 hours coming to realize it's a passive tame.

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.

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

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

While it is cheesy and very hard to pull off on most maps, if you can lure a mantis into swimming deep water, then they either chase after you and then lose agro and dive underwater or they lose interest immediately and return to shore. After they run back to land/dive, you can get a free feed while they swim back with next to no chance at an agro, plus their food drains a little quicker because of the swimming.

P.S this was already said by other people but my comment spreads the taming method easier (I'm blatantly stealing)

Use bug repellent and cactus broth when taming, this makes agro range literally 0.

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!

Make sure to stick the horn really far up

Just take a death worm horn and shove it up it’s ass

Have a tribe mate land on the mantis with a wyvern. They won't move for the entire taming process.

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.

If you have a wyvern and you’re on a map with an ocean you can pick the mantis and drop it in water, it won’t agro you and you can tame it without needing any ghillie armour or bug repellent.

These guys eat rotten meat once tamed!!

On fjordur there are free deathworm corpses on the volcano island around the tarpits. I got 8 from the 6 bodies laying around. No need to hunt those monstrous worms for one horn.

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

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 until there adults so if your breeding them have some spare spoiled meat to feed them. For the harvesting the more lvls you put into melee will make you gather more materials if your using a sickle, pickaxes, or axe and for clubs it increases the melee and torpor damage so mantis are good for knocking out creatures if you have the right stats, if you didn’t know you can give your mantis a pike apparently.
