All you need is 1 stone foundation and 8 walls, hover over top with your tek suit let it teleport to you it will fall into the trap, turn your chest off and poof, you can feed through walls like any other passive tame, no need for all this other stuff.

The female can turn invisible and turn other shadowmane’s invisible too. The male has a roar that buffs dinos

Shadowmanes can found on fjourdur in Asgard in the purple forest thingy. Hope this helps 🙃

On Fjordur you can make fish baskets by taming a Gacha that can produce Corrupted Wood.

The most beautiful creature they could add in ark and definitely my most favorite one ever in the history of ark

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...

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!

These are my favrouite tames in ark there good for bosses some times Wyvern eggs it very easy in usability is amazing stealth 10 / 10 like rock drakes stuns well 5 seconds roar buffs is good health high melee too one thing is it is so hard to tame a high level with big fish it only get half way so you needs gilly suits other than that nothing bad

On fjordur you can use captain fat dogs trap for fish HiGHLY recommend and the weir circle plants in the shadow area give fungal wood u don’t neeed ghille

THESE GUYS CAN TARGET YOU EVEN WHEN YOU’RE WAY UP IN THE AIR WITH THE JETPACK SO WATCH OUT

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 fish kitties are the most op thing I’ve ever used. They are fast, semi-aquatic, have natural armor, don’t need a saddle, can teleport behind creatures and stun them, they can turn invisible, females can turn any friendly creature near them invisible when mate boosted, males can do a roar buff when mate boosted, they get a crazy pack buff, can do a super jump and they can charge themselves to do a super attack by hitting creatures. Also they don’t lose taming process for several days. A pack of strong, imprinted shadowmanes with skilled riders is basically unkillable.

One strategy is to ride a tame with ”apex” status (I have verified rock drake and karkinos) and build them in from its back. Then you can better separate the low level ones as well as ensure you can approach it right.

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

If you have a fish basket, put it in your hot bar, jump in to the water, then it resets the spoil timer.

The male shadow manes roar only boosts attack, defense, and speed on other shadow manes and boosts torpor and stam regen on other dinos, so dont use shadowmane to replace yutyrannus unless you are only using shadowmanes, up so people know

Don’t forget to turn on all the engrams to get the fish basket

These things have a drakes invisibility a spinos water buff and are better than rexes for bosses

Pickup harpoon gun from gen 1 ice fishing mission

Craft nets with hexagons/missions

Trap:

8x stone fence foundations (mane must be on ground to sleep)

x16 walls

Trapping:

Locate one you want, place sleeping bags

Wait until day

Find a flat place *away from water* to build Trap

Net the one you want then kite away pack, leave render to reset AI

Now guide the one you want to the Trap and hover above and it should teleport in

Wait for it to aggro the walls then jet up out of render to reset aggro

Feed fish, do *not bump it*
