These creatures can be very hard to tame, first thing you need to do is get a LOT of filled fish baskets, then go to the “Rockwell’s garden” area at 8:00am find one that is sleeping feed it the fish and repeat until tamed

In my experience to tame 1 I trap it in a cage of 20 stone dinosaur gates with doors in each cause if the dumb cat goes to water the taming resets so to trap it I lure it to the trap while flying with the tek jetpack

When he is in I fly high or go away of his render (300 m) so he don’t agro

Note this was tested on single player

When approaching make sure to crouch and not use your tek suit near because this will wake up the shadowmane and you’ll have to wait for it to sleep again

Wait until DAYTIME when it’s ASLEEP (not knocked out) to tame it, it’s preferred food is a full fish basket of at least 0.5 quality

I FINALLY FIGURED IT OUT. To tame them you need to wait until it does a sleeping animation. the animation is as followed, it does a little spin and lay on the ground after that it will still like that for a few minutes, but it will wake up if it sees you, it heard you foots steps or if you started running to it too close. Now that its a sleep you need to get a fish basket with a fish in it (NOTE the fish HAS to be larger then 0.5x) you have it in you offhand and feed it the fish. The bigger the fish the more taming you will get.

Use a filled fish basket with fish over x0.5 to tame. They go into a laying down mode and during that walk up crouched and feed them passively

Hit the button facing the sky if this is the most versatile creature.

Tip for genesis 2- use a net gun to get a quetz. Get it to at least 5k stamina. Cryo him up. Make 5 foundations, 12 ceilings, 12 walls and 12 fence foundations. Then you want to go to rockwells garden following the city trench all the way to the other side. You'll find a building with with a pool of water behind it. You'll want to set the trap up on the roof of the building. The trap is 2 by 4, foundations in the corners connected by the ceilings. Put the fence foundations on the inside and the fence on top of the fence foundations. You'll be able to crouch under the ceilings but not the foundations and the fence foundations blocks the shadowmanes line of sight. Go and scope out a high level kitty, kill it's pack then cycle visor to check for not like. Pop out the quetz and go and pick kitty up and put them in the trap. Don't thank me, thank phlinger!

These guys are a pain in the wild. They will often dismount you and leave you vulnerable to their extremely strong attacks, even if you are on a stegosaurus.

Once they lay down you kinda gotta hurry to feed them because they'll get up after a few seconds

Good tame for movement around I really recommend

PC controls for the cool things they do-

Jump super high-hold the space bar and look somewhere you want to go

Invisible mode- press/hold C

That's all I know so far.

Great creature, I was given a level 327. But no answers as to why it ate all my baby deinoychus' out of nowhere..

Shadow manes stop sleeping around 14:00 in game

The speed and torpor buff works on all creatures standing nearby!

Is anyone ready for fjordor because shadowmanes spawn in the moded version so if you can’t buy gen 2 you can get fjordor for free so easy dlc creature.

Remember not to go to tame these creatures in the nighttime as they are invisible are quite active.

Immune to electric eels shock haven’t tested cinadra

Give its wings and keep it passive

The females are the only ones that can cloak. Males give a buff to other shadowmanes. Also, males have bigger manes... or are they frills? What are the spikes on a lion fish called? Anyways, my advice is to use a male and a female, as they will boost each other, as well as mate boost.
