Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a mantis? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a mantis.
Grab it with a karkinos, and find a safe spot. Use bug repellent and some deathworm horns for taming.
Spend 20mins following it around and then let it agro a vulture and let that 20mins go to waste
Walk north west corner of desert with a high level rex, u should be able to find death worms in region. Once a couple of them are killed, walk the border of the map(northwest) and the death worm should spawn in on the outside and come in to attack u. When u have 15 horns Agro a mantis into a trap, lose its Agro, now tame either wearing a ghillie suit and bug repellent or use bug repellent and cactus broth or all three
You cant tame them on ps servers with wooly rhino horn becaus you cant equip the horns
Mantis can be tamed in 2 high trap with ramp, easier with tek suit. Knock out with tek now. Hope this helps
Mantises are hard to tame because you can only use horns of the death worm and wooly rhino however there is also a chance of death when using the long bow to knock out mantises
Level one Mantis needs only one death worm horn we discovered this when we encountered a Mantis and tamed it. Hopefully this was useful.
Rhino horns won’t go in the last slot or any slot of your hot bar at least on PS4 it didn’t
Woolly Rhino horns only work on PC at the mo.
You do not need to use a sickle because the mantis with out tools equipped will gather fiber from bushes.
Build a thatch trap one foundation 2 walls high and a doorframe and keep replacing structures it attacks until it deaggros
Why the app says you can use spoiled meat for taming ?? It's only with worm horns right?
Mantis are good on pvp severs
I built a taming pen (3x3 with stone fence foundation and on top of that 2 high with stone door frames) then I took the Mantis and dropped it in the pen and landed a bit away, used bug repellent and cactus broth and feed it when it stand still. If it get agroed at you simply leave the area for maybe 2-3 mins and you should be good to go!
10k health rex to keep aggro on the deathworm and 500%+ melee damage rhino doing it charge attacks can kill about any death worm you want. Lost 1k health on the rhino and rex killing two at once.
Is there any way to make a mantis lay eggs faster ? I only get one get it's seems very rarely
It's not 3 min on the intervals. It's 3 min 20 seconds. (200 seconds on the bug repellant)
Make a mantis trap they are very easy to make, look on youtube to see how to build one it will make life so much easier
Is it mantises or mantice I really dont know which one it is
These guys are on Crystal Isles but there are no Deathworms. I was thinking maybe Rhino horns will work, make sure people see this!
