How to tame: HOPE THIS HELPS YOU :D

1. Wear full ghillie suit

2. Crouch up to it with fish in basket

3. Press e on pc, triangle on PS4 and I think x on Xbox????

4. It should tame quite a bit

5. Track it by the feature they added last year, I’m sure you know what it is

6. Slowly crouch away while looking at it

7. I would make sure to stand about 55 meters away from it

8. Repeat the steps and you should have a shadowmane

9. Hope you enjoyed I’ll cya in next one when I explain how to tame a milk glider/maewing CYA :DDDDD 8D

For Fjordur players,

you can find fungal wood for fish baskets underwater very close to beaches. They look like bright brown dried mushrooms and you can harvest them with the axe.

Have tamed a few of them now.

Passive tame using fish caught in Fish Basket in your 0-slot.

Larger X value fish seem to giver higher percentage tame per feed.

Fish Basket Tips:

1) Place basket in water and it will take several seconds before it is active. Once active you watch for fish to go near it and press E to catch it in the trap.

2) Fish in basket have a spoil timer. Place basket on hotbar and get in the water to refresh spoil timer.

3) Fish in basket can be released (into protected waters for security) and be “tamed”. You can later come back and put a basket down again to quickly re-catch the fish again. This allows you to have fish on standby for when you happen upon that particular Shadowmane you have been wanting.

4) Waiting on fish to get near basket can be a test in patience. Piranaha however will attack you, and can therefore be kited to a basket, where you will have a split second to catch it in the basket before it destroys the basket.

Taming Shadowman Tips:

1) Where Full Ghillie

2) The Shadowmane will do a few little circles when it is about to goto sleep

3) Crouch when within 30m of them.

4) I seemed to notice that if I had something in my hands, then they would wake just before I got there…so I go in empty handed.

5) If it aggros you, then taming will reset to 0.0%…so dont let it aggro you

6) As soon as you feed it, turn around and run away a good distance.

7) The taming does not wear off unless you get aggro…so be patient.

8) If there, is more than one Shadowmane in the group, it isnt required, but sure is easier if you take the time to split the group (fly high above in tek suit and shoot the unwanted ones with a rifle while they are all sleeping)

I suggest that you search for the fishes first (preferably 1.5x and above) before looking for shadowmane and then cryopod them, that way you can release them later and recapture it with fish basket after you found the shadowmane without needing to worry about fish basket spoils time

Also, as long as they don't aggro to anything their taming rate won't get down

YOU CAN JUMP IN WATER WITH THE FISH BASKET IN HOT BAR AND IT WILL RESTART THE SPOIL TIMER! it has helped me quite a bit in taming these water cats

You can refresh your fish basket by having in your hot bar and jumping into water

Be prepared to lose brain cells when taming these, took me 3 hours.

Fungal Wood can be found in the swamp on Asgard (purple trees) and in the Aberration caves. It just doesn’t look like the Aberration trees we’re familiar with. Look for small wooden like stalks holding a round white seed like pod. Hack away.

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!

On Fjordur you can make fish baskets by taming a Gacha that can produce Corrupted Wood.
