How do I tame a shadowmane? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a shadowmane.
When taming these find the one you want and use the night to fish and clear the area around the shadowmane of other creatures. This will limit the amount it might get spooked and wake. Also use a ghillie suit and CACTUS Broth to mask you while you creep up behind it to feed while it's asleep.
Best way to tame them right here.
1. Find a shadowmane on its own. Preferbly away from aggressive dinos.
2. Make a 2x2 stone floor. Surround with 2 high stone walls, 16 in total. Add a wooden ramp on one side.
3. Aggro the shadowmane and fly above the trap, you'll get attacked a couple of times and it MAY take multiple tries but it WILL go in.
4. Fly high so it stops aggro. You'll have to fly so it goes off screen.
5. Wait for it to sleep and feed it fish from fish baskets by walking up to where it'd tail is. You can feed it through the wall (I'd recommend 1.0 or bigger, if they're timer is running out just take a dip in some water. It'll reset the timer.)
5. When you feed it fish it'll wake up. You don't have to move as it won't aggro cause it can't see you. Repeat until tamed.
100% guaranteed to work. I've tamed a bunch this way. Just gotta watch out for enemy dinos and make sure you have plenty of fish baskets full.
Make a 2x2 box with ramps going up, hover over the box and the shadow mane should teleport to u and land in the box. If not lead it up the ramp and as soon as it is in the box go out of render.
There's a lot of people saying to use piranhas but don't It takes ages to tame a high level try going for fish of 1.5x or higher for 100% taming efficiency and for it to be faster.
Can be trapped in a 2x2 box 2 high to make for super easy tame. No ghilie and no broth required (just don't touch it or aggro it.)
Can be carried by Quetzal. Makes the taming easier if you have a taming pen in a safe location. All that is needed is a quetz, a harpoon gun with net ammo and the fish in baskets at that point.
This is a difficult tame but there are ways to make it easier.
Tame a quetzal first and pick up your choice mane and bring it to one of the vents on the edge of space. This way the shadowmane can’t aggro on anything and it makes the whole process easier.
When catching fish stick to very shallow water as the big fish get stuck and become much easier to catch. Use a snow owl and spyglass or radar tek stryder to check sizes, ignore anything below 1.5.
Once you’ve trapped your cat and caught your fish the shadowmane will only go to sleep from about 7:00-19:00 in game time so outside of that frame keep your fish from spoiling by standing in water with them in your hotbar.
It has a water super skill like a spino and has a ultimate power gague power it up by getting a hit
2.4x fish let me get 100% effectiveness while taming in my 4x server not sure how it applies in official rates but wanted to make note of it...
For a easier tame put them in a 4×4 trap two walls high then run out of render and come back and feed them through a wall don't fly over them however bc then they can teleport out and too you.
When its netted it goes really often to sleep, cant attack you and it the net doesnt decrease the taming efficency
You can use a Tek Bow to pull one out of the pack away from the others while they all sleep. It won't wake up the rest.
Use a 2x2 stone trap with 2 high walls, net or go out if render to deal w aggro, makes tame easy, cryo the fish then put in baskets once you have it trapped, also use cages to trap fish, makes it way easier!
Search up Vannin HHH on YouTube his trap is rlly good.
These guys are so good! They have the jump of a karkinos (hold jump and aim) amazing damage and can even turn invisible they have amazing animations to one of my favorite tames EVER!!!
This is one of those creatures where the hard part of taming it isn't actually the taming process itself (sneak behind them and feed them fish from a basket, I suggest catching fish in the Eden zone because the lakes in Rockwell's garden are chock full of pirahna). Instead, this creature is tricky to obtain because of its environment. Literally every bad creature can be found living around it, and as mentioned previously trying to catch fish there is hell. If you want my ultimate advice: catch fish in the Eden zone, clear out the zone around the shadowmane, stand on a tall cliff and wait for it to sleep, sneak up to it's backside, feed it, add it to the taming tracker, and then repeat this process as many times as needed. Once again, DO NOT TRY TO CATCH FISH IN ROCKWELL'S GARDEN.
I believe you have to do it between 12:00 and 20:00. If your off a little it resets. If you don't crouch at the right angle behind them it resets. But getting it's attention at night between feeding doesn't seem to reset it only at day hours.
Always crouch but crouch at full speed and ghillie doesn't really make a difference. I used exo tek armor to drop in about 15 metres away then instantly crouched, walked up to the tail end of it and fed it.
If you aggro the shadowmane whilst taming it, the taming meter goes down to 0%, so don’t aggro it lmao
When you feed it the first fish basket it will run away and go invisible. Track it with the current tames screen. Makes it easy to follow around etc. It likes to attack stuff so if you can trap it then it would save the hassle of losing its effectiveness or being killed. These take ALOT of fish baskets btw.
