Tips & Strategies
Shadowmanes can found on fjourdur in Asgard in the purple forest thingy. Hope this helps 🙃
So if you want the multitool of a pve, pvp monster dino here you go. Need to kill an alpha, Shadowmane, need a fast meat run use a shadowmane, need to kill a fast player shadowmane, kick a player off tame shadowmane, get drake eggs shadowmanes can jump, need to bait a creature with a fast tame shadowmane. Need a yuty for a boss, nah shadowmane, need a easy getaway dino shadowmane, need a boss army breed shadowmanes.
Just in case it aggro’s you during tame, bring a net gun so it don’t kill you. Then leave render range to reset aggro.
Are you considering taming a shadowmane? I may have some ideas on how you can! But first as with all of these, everything I say in this tip is entirely up to you to decide, however you tackle this beast in however you feel necessary with :D Now let’s get started shall we? Ok this is not a common beginners tame, as it’s a timed passive tame creature! If you have access to a rockdrake, I suggest bringing one to use it’s cloaking ability to scope one out! I also recommend some cactus broth to keep you undercover when things go south (medical brews might be necessary when dealing with these guys for the first time) also I recommend bringing flak/ Tek /or ghillie as you eithor want full taming effectiveness or just simply do not want to die! Now let’s start off with the taming supplies: All you need is tons of fish baskets and determination! Now let’s figure out where to find these guys! I’ve located them in fjordur, they spawn in asgards rockdrake laggoon! They hang out near the shore as well as the little islands within it! And this is where the chaotic taming process begins! Step 1: whip out your fish basket and yoink some fish ( most of the fish will do, as long as they are bigger than 0.5 size however the bigger the fish the faster and better taming and taming effectiveness will be) Step 2: grab your rock drake and use the cloak ability, this will make you invisible to basically anything! Step 3: Find one that’s alone (or go the passive aggressive way of finding a pack of them, single out one and beat the rest up) Why one that’s alone you may be wondering, because packs are harder to sneak up on, and why sneak up on them? Because you tame them while they sleep, they sleep for about 10/15 seconds until they wake up, then they walk arround and if they don’t see anything worth chasing down they will go back to sleep, however they have 2 blind spots and a single one will be a sitting duck to tame, because a pack of them may take advantage of this! They cannot see behind they’re back or they’re tail, to feed them the fish you have to crouch and sneak up to them using said blindspot and feed them, this is another part where the drake steps in, once you feed it the fish, you stealthily yet swiftly make your way to the drake to once again cloak, as the shadowmane will wake up and go invisible to hunt you down! Since the shadowmane cannot see you can simply follow it until it becomes visible once again and goes straight back to bed! Rinse and repeat! Eventually you got yourself a all and all great tame! What can this lion crossbred with a lion fish do? I can explain! Alright this creature is well rounded out, it’s attacks are swift and when attacking a creature will slowly generate a buff making its attacks more and more powerful! Ever seen a rapter attacking something? Pfft this things practically a ninja! It can be ridden without a saddle but if you look in its inventory it has its own natural armor! Also this creature has a pack ability when you tame a male and a few females, the male (when you hold down c and right click) will roar giving every shadowmane in the vicinity another buff, it consists of armor boosting, a damage buff, and not to mention a major speed buff! Also the shadowmane has multiple diffrent ability’s consisting: of a huge leap (doesn’t require mateboost), a flash attack( basically goes top speed and smacks whatever creature is closest) and the cloaking ability, its pretty self explanatory, other than its kinda slow! I hope my info will help you along the way! Good luck!
To tame your very own murder kitty, you want to have full ghilly armor/cactus soup. (both will make taming a LOT easier) Tame during the day because at night they won't sleep. Wait until it falls asleep crouch or crawl towards it and feed it a fish basket from the last slot in your hot bar (if the fish baskets are starting to spoil, put them in your hot bar and go into water. This will reset the spoil timer) after it's been fed once, it will turn invisible and start walking towards you, so watch out for it's footsteps. Track it, and repeat feeding until it's tamed.
Hope this helped 😉

If you have a fish basket, put it in your hot bar, jump in to the water, then it resets the spoil timer.
If your looking for a shadow mane in Fjordur you have to go through the Asgard portal the portal is at 40.1 latitude 47.7 longitude. Hope that helps
When you catch the fish, throw it back out and cryopod it for later. Build a 4 foundation 16 wall square trap with no roof. Hover over it and shoot the mayne with an arrow. It will teleport into the trap, and then leave render as fast as possible. Come back in at low altitude so it cant see you. From then on you’re good, no need for ghillie. Feed it fish nonstop until it tames, even while invisible! It seems to sleep for longer while in this trap too, currently 21:26 and still sleeping...
The most beautiful creature they could add in ark and definitely my most favorite one ever in the history of ark
Don’t forget to turn on all the engrams to get the fish basket
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

While tamed you must have a male and female present sharing the mate boost to allow the female to share the invisibility! I tried when I only had the female and it didn’t work!! Didn’t want anyone wondering why they only have a female and it won’t share the invis!! Hope this helps!
THESE GUYS CAN TARGET YOU EVEN WHEN YOU’RE WAY UP IN THE AIR WITH THE JETPACK SO WATCH OUT
Since I haven't seen anything regarding this I'm gonna share another useful tip:
I know the filled fishbasket is a nuisance with both weight and the need to refresh it once in a while. What you can do is after you've caught a fish, throw it out again, cryo it and you can preserve it this way as long as you like. Just craft some more baskets when you are going to tame a shadowmane just bring out the fish from your cryopod, use baskets to fill it up again and then use them on the shadowmane. Up soother ppl can see it too
The shadowmane was mistaken by many for a dragon when it is like a lion this might be good in pvp
Female : camouflage
Male : pack efect
Most likely breed able
