Tips & Strategies

What are tips for shadowmane? Tips and strategies for shadowmane in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
To get the fish in order to tame a shadowmane, look for the rivers of the Eden biome.
They are packed with fish, and the shallow water allows for less problems catching them.
EASY TAME = near shadowmane build a 2X2 Stone foundations with minimum 2 walls high. Lure it to the box and hover above. Once it uses its flash strike it will drop in the trap. Feed through the walls NO need for any ghillie etc only fish to feed it ( pre cryo fish after basket taming them).
Oh boi corruption in the genesis simulation
They are hard to tame but if you know what you are doing. It is not that bad.
When ur shadowmain has the water buff it can jump alot further then normal. Also it does more damage with it's water effect.
For 100% tami g efficiency, use fish that are side 1.4 and above. The shadowmane will only lose 0.2 taming effectiveness. To trap it, first net it and build a trap around it using 8 stone fence foundations, 8 stone door frames on the fence foundations, and 8 stone walls on top of the door frames. I suggest using gillie suit and always approach it from its back or behind otherwise it will see you.
Found a great taming pen on yt. Search Phlinger phoo shadowmane taming the video is new as of now, but it’s a really good pen if you want to use taming pens
Fantastic mobile dinos. You can sneak up on creatures, leap great distances, and if you melee enough creatures until your bar goes purple, you can do a powerful melee that can one shot many dinos.
On top of that, it is a phenomenal swimmer, being able to take out megladons and many big water dinos with near ease.
Be careful as you can get knocked off it.
I highly HIGHLY recommend using a trap on these guys. To tame mine I net gunned it and placed a two by two fence foundation square around it then placed stone door frames two high on the fence foundations. NOTE: USE STONE they can break wood. Next I just waited for it to sleep and just fed it fish. If you can’t find any good fish I recommend piranhas, because they are always size 1 and it can’t be a smaller number rounded. To catch the piranhas I place a tent on top of them and the basket next to the tent. Like if this was helpful, I really hope it was!
Best fish to use is sabertooth salmon
For Xbox to feed them the fish basket on your last slot it's Y not X to the dude who wrote that its X
Tame megalosaurus, pickup doggo, put in trap, tame all doggos
Image If you had to steal a egg from a big group of these beacuse genesis might follow the trend of a egg creature in every dlc(paid) since extinction
Anyone say the females turn invisible? Nope? You know what to do so everyone sees it. LOL
At first I was discouraged about how much fish they take but dodo has the numbers way off. If you can find a couple 2.0 or higher with some 1.1s you’ll be fine to tame a max lvl but use the bat blood mix. I also suggest using a 2x2 trap with ramps. If you have a quetz they can also pick them up.. now go out and get you a super op water puppy
If you want to tame one don't use the tek super Sprint Leggins thing cause it will Wake up
Shadow Manes are really good for stealing wyvren eggs. I tried this and the shadow mane can stay cloaked while you are not mounted on it. So once you pick up the egg, quickly hop on and it was like you were never there. After that do a charged jump towards another creature then cloak again because they will follow you. Once they get aggro on another creature dash away.
