Tips & Strategies
Easiest way to tame a shadowmane without a ghillie suit:
[This won't make finding large fish any easier, but will greatly help the taming process be basically 100% impossible to mess up]
- make a 2x2 box, 2 walls high, 3 walls high on opposite side of ramps
- make sure the walls are actual walls, not doorframes, windows, etc.
- build a ramp on whatever side you so please
- bait shadowmane into trap and leave render distance to deaggro the shadowmane
- if the shadowmane is continuing to attack the walls of your trap, build new walls and place over the wall(s) it's attacking
- done, let it sleep, walk up (with or without ghillie suit, won't matter) feed it, and boom...
I’m pretty sure that shadow manes are nocternol because while I was trying to tame a shadow mane it wouldn’t sleep and it was night and all it was doing was running after animals and fish hope this helped you :/
Elixir can also be used on passive tames such as this one. However, I've read on Reddit that somone used it on Shadowmane and that it restarted their taming to 30%. I was sort of scared because I was also going to tame Shadowmane at the time, and I was sure that I don't have enough fishes to tame high level (most of them were higher than 1.5, I think I had two of them like 1.3) I already included the fact that most of them are gonna probably spoil, as I don't remember that often to refresh them in water. I had some problems, as the game was really glitchy and I ran out of good fishes. So as you can tell I was forsed to use elixir. I took situation as if it finishes tame (Shadowmane at the time was st 70%) I'm gonna just put it in cryopod but if it restarts I'm gonna just give up since I didn't have any good fish left. I put elixir in my last slot and I slowly aproached Shadowmane as it was sleeping. I just looked at him and I pressed 0 (button for PC -last slot) and it was tamed! Pretty happy expirience, because it was my first time using elixir on Shadowmane. My first try taming Shadowmane was without elixir and it was also good! It was pretty low level so I didn't need that good fish. He died to another player killing us in half of the game R.I.P Safet (Safet is old Bosnian name XD)
This will probably be one of the more popular creatures everyone will want in genesis part 2. I just hope it will be a simple knock out tame. 😂
These are incredibly bugged on Fjordur. Randomly wake up and wont go back to sleep, and taming randomly resrts while they are still asleep.
Taming a shadow mane is not as easy as it looks. The first thing your going to need to do is get the taming food for the shadowmane, which is fish in fish baskets. Try to catch big fish because the bigger the fish the more the taming effectiveness. Now your going to need to find one. Finding shadowmanes are relatively easy considering they live along rivers and bodies of water, be careful though as they can be in packs of 3 - 6 or less. Once you have found a shadow mane try to isolate it from its pack so that you don’t get attacked by the other pack members, then build a 4 foundation, 16 wall, 4 ramp trap and lure the shadow mane inside. Once the shadowmane is unaggro’d on the trap you can feed it, shadowmanes are nocturnal so because of this they will take short naps in the daytime which is how you feed them fish in fish baskets. If you follow these tips I guarantee you will tame yourself a decent high level shadowmane to conquer the ark with. I wish you the best of luck survivor!
If you don’t have collision enabled on your server you can just use a cage to catch good fish then place a fish basket beside it this makes it so much easier to get fish
Shadowmanes are horrible in simpler traps that don't fully abuse ai and whatnot, so if you don't want to waste 40k stone for half a trap, try netting the shadowmanes when they go on the prowl (invis) and killing the bad ones while leaving your preferred one alive, then leaving the locale and coming back and doing the tame the right way. Trust me, it is way more consistent when you don't use a trap, just leagues more dangerous.
They tend to use a lot of stun attacks so be wary before You go ahead if You hear thunder move as quick as You can from it get away from any shadow mane unless You have a group of dinos but other than that if You are gathering resources or something I suggest not so unless You know more about shadow mane and noglins then You shall be safe and one more thing if flying away make sure Your Dino is not a bird or a flying one becuase that one will be dead land dinos can help You but You should not go near them unless taming
Great for stealing eggs. Able to turn invisible and leap ungodly distances, these creatures are perfect for stealing things like wyvern eggs. You can just wander around in stealth mode, looking for a notch with an egg, and when you see one, you can leap up and immediately turn back to stealth. Leaping does make you visible, but there’s nothing stopping you from immediately turning invisible upon landing. Then, you can just hop off and steal the egg, quickly getting back on and turning invisible again. You can then, in stealth mode, just fall out of the little notch and walk out of the ravine. As long as your shadow mane has enough stamina, there is literally nothing stopping you.
Important!!!!
Fish you catced dont have to spoil!!!
Put them on your hotbar and dive under water.
Both extremely strong tames. They have a blink attack that once charged can jump between every target stunning them. As you attack they charge a special attack that once released is quite devastating. They're able to stealth. They can swim better than most sea creatures. They have a leap ability that can cover a lot of ground or help traverse vertically. And one of the coolest features is that they are a pack animal and recieve pack bonuses. The coolest feature is that when mate boosted the females gain the ability to stealth mostly everyone and thing within a close vicinity and the males have a roar that increases speed and recovers torpidity and stamina at an insane rate.
shadow mans can defeat rockwell so pls backup him with a reaper 👍👍👍
Actually smart on Fjordur look out
