Tips & Strategies

What are tips for shadowmane? Tips and strategies for shadowmane in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
I recently found out that if you put a wooden cage on the fish, the fish cannot move out of the cage:) I hope this helps.
if you’re planning to tame one of these dudes, which is understandable considering how awesome they are, don’t waste your fish baskets on anything lower than 0.8 fish. trust me. anything lower than 0.8 barley raises the taming bar. i only go for 1.0 fish and up, but if i absolutely need to i’ll go for the occasional 0.9 or 0.8 fish. the best strategy is to, well, wait until it’s asleep. you NEED ghillie armor for this, so put on your ghillie and approach it, CROUCHING. do NOT approach it from the front, always approach from its rear end or its back. feed it the fish, then back up 10-15 meters and run away, because it will turn invisible and try to look for you. you should use the tracking ability to not lose sight of it, then wait until it’s calm and asleep again. repeat this process and you have a tame shadowmane. the males and the female are the exact same without a mate, but if they’re paired up, the male can use a roar buff, similar to a yutyrannus, to buff its pack. the female, on the other hand, can make, not only it’s pack, but any other tame creatures you have invisible with it. they each have a dash attack, they can leap super high, they negate fall damage, they double as amazing water mounts because they don’t have an oxygen meter and they get a water buff similar to a spino, and they have a charge meter that increases whenever you deal damage or kill something. when it’s maxed out, your shadowmane gets a speed and damage buff. if you found this helpful, up this! -J
peeps, I think they’re mammals; so no egg retrieval tames probably.
How to tame shadowmanes:
First you will need fish baskets (how many depends on the level, so check dododex)
You should also wear chillie armour and you can also consume some captus broth
Then you need to crouch up on a sleeping shadowmane of your choice (they are usually asleep in the middle of the day)
Feed it fish baskets and then move away because it will wake up
Then continue doing that until it is tamed!

I wonder if it has claimable babies on asa
Cactus broth and ghillie is the ez way to tame
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
Every one says “this is the easiest way” and get all the likes. The ONLY easy way is building the hatch frame trap, you can sit there no ghillie suit feeding it through the floor and sneak away when it lays down to unpack more of your fish. All these most liked tips do not account for the fact you need cryo pods to put the fish you trap into so they don’t decay, and then you have to put them back in a trap to feed the shadowmane. IT IS NOT EASY TO TAME IT WITHOUT A TRAP, IT IS NOT EASY TO TAME IT THROUGH A WALL, YOU WILL WASTE HOURS ATTEMPTING SUCH “SIMPLE” NONSENSE! You need to set up the hatch frame trap described in multiple undervoted tips. lead the shadowmane into the trap via ramps or hovering above it and letting it jump to you, and staying crouched underneath feeding it trapped fish, when it goes to sleep you can sneak away to unpack more fish, or deal with threats, and when you go back you need to wait for it to sleep and approach from its backside. They only sleep during the day so get away from the trap before nightfall or stay put and do not move throughout the whole night.
Wear full Gili and have medical brews so if they Argo you can survive long enough to get to ur Dino I've had so much trouble taming shadows-V4S-join me on ps fjourdur 1852

In my experience in taming you will need
#1: fishes in baskets (0.7x up)
#2: gilly armor (optional)
#3: skill (you will most likely die)
#4: spy glass
Step by step to tame :
1: locate desired shadowmane
2: wait for nap time (day)
3: approach for the back (away from face!!)
4: feed fish
5: RUN
6: wait for hunt to end while watching with spy glass
7: repeat

The community: Everyone liked that
Not sure if it was just me but these things don't seem to like to attack under water. Tested on gen 1. Would attack through moeder fight (very easy btw) but other missions and creatures after a while they would just seem passive even when set to aggressive. Seems like I haven't seen many posts about this though
Make sure to have cactus broth on you or a gillie suit. Sneak up on it with your fish basket( passive tame and make your fish basket at the best a 1.5)sneak up on it and be care they dismount from tames, and passive tame.
