Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a shadowmane? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a shadowmane.
Tame during the day While they're laying down. They eat baskets of fish of a certain quality. No ghillie required just move very slowly.. they will get up and walk away after every feed so follow with caution.
As a warning. These have a very high jump and can reach and stun you even while using the jetpack.
BOTH male and female can turn invisible.. only the female can use group camouflage. Male have a roar buff similar to yuty and they can use a chain teleport strike that flashes between multiple enemies.. and to also make your day.. they get a water buff
They can be tamed with a fish basket a day time.
Stand on sore with fish baskets and wait for the piranha to come to you then trap them through them out tamed and cryo for when you find a shadowmane then crouch walk slowly when it’s resting in the day and boom
To tame a shadow mane you must wait until it falls asleep during the day you also have to have a fish basket with any fish that’s higher then 0.5x then crouch and slowly go up to it and then you have a shadow mane but you have to repeat this process on official unless insta tame hope this helps!
Use shadow steaks and bug repellent Guilin armor for it not to attack you when it wake up grab a fish in a basket (must be over 0.5) than go up to a resting one ko does not work neither does stun and than feed it the fish basket
Personally i suggest useing a ghilli suit and fosj baskets
You have to wait till day time afternoon. At night time they go invisible and you'll see they're foot prints glow in the dark. Make sure it's day time afternoon when they will go to sleep. Also unlock the fish basket (gen 2 has abb engrams) catch big fish and put in last slot of hot bar. Feed while crouching. It will move somewhere else btw so make sure you track it with that feature and keep repeating. Fish baske does expire so don't take too long
This thing is a passive tame as far as I can tell and can only be fed while it’s sleeping
You have to feed them fish baskets to tame them while they are asleep in the day
Use a fish basket in last inventory slot and crouch by it when it's laying down. It is not a knockout tame. Fish needs to be at least 0.5 in quality.
Shadowmane are passive tame. You have to sneak up to it when its napping durring the day and feed it a full fish basket with a fish of 0.5 quality or greater inside. From what it looks like the higher level will nap in shorter intervals so look out!
Both male and female can turn invisible idk why people say males can't. They seem to be a passive tame and can only feed them if they are asleep. They are found in packs in the wild. I found quite a few in the canyons.
To tame catch big fish in fish basket and passive tame well it's asleep use tracker too find it after feed it teleports
Wait for them to sleep than walk up to them to tame them but make sure to run! Also idk what they eat sorry
Not knock out, you tame them whole they are sleeping also have to be crouched. Unsure of food yet.
You can only use the sanguine elixir to aid in taming when it is in the last hotbar slot, and you're crouching, just like when you feed the fish basket. Do *not* for the love of god, aggro it if you're using a trap, because even if it doesn't lose all taming progress immediately, it will never stop aggroing on you or the trap until it *does* lose all taming progress. If you aggro it part way through and it doesn't say you lost all progress yet, don't bother trying to save the progress.
You can find a lot of shadowmane on the lower part of the map that Rockwell took over and look by the rivers
I tamed 3 in 5 minutes they are actually common on Rockwell's side
just make it teleport into a 2x2trap and feed it fish from the outside
3.7x fish do less taming than a 1.7x fish but also a 2.2x fish does more than a 1.7x
