What are tips for shadowmane? Tips and strategies for shadowmane in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
If you know how to force tame that is probably the best way to tame it unless you don’t like doing that.
Do they really eat fish above 1.5 or must it be above 2 PLEASE I NEED ANSWERS!
If close to some they aquatic hunters the teleport out of nowhere
When taming be careful as they can dismount you from your tame

When capturing fish, I definitely recommend a trap. I use 3-4 gateways and gates. Wait for it to stop moving and build the trap around it. It makes the process so much faster. And always kill the ducks.
A trap that worked extremely well for me was 4 foundations placed in a square. Than 8 double doorways placed around the edges, next is 4 hatch frames placed on top of the double doorways, than start placing 16 walls down on top of the hatch frames, it’s possible to do it with only 8 but the Shadowmane with be able to get out more easily. Then lure the Shadowmane in by either placing down ramps of letting the Shadowmane shock you and fall into the trap. Leave render distance immediately so the Shadowmane doesn’t hit you and escape and so the it looses aggro to the stone trap. Than come back and pop on your gilli and start the taming by crouching and going beneath the hatch frames through the double doors and feeding it.
For your first shadowmane trap, use 4 stone foundations, 16 stone walls, and 4 wooden ramps.

Build a 2 by 2 foundation with walls that are 4 high and drop your shadowcat in there. Almost never aggros to you and ya just feed it fish through the walls. Perfect tame every time definitely the best trap I know of :) happy hunting
Make sure to use guile armor, it can go invisible when it notices you and gets ready to pounce, also make sure to feed it when its asleep since isn’t alert.
Use fish that are 2.0+ size the bigger the better
Place a wooden cage over a fish to make it easier to trap them in the fish basket
Don’t bring piranhas to tame bing biggest things you can catch in the fish basket and wait till it goes to sleep to walk up to
So u can trap one with a four foundation and 2 to 4 high walls . If u have a quetzel you can pick it up and bring it back to a trap . After that just take ur time and get fish . Once it's day time and it starts sleeping all u have to do is go by its face while it's pooping out of the walls and feed it and there u have it lol
