Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a shadowmane? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a shadowmane.
When taming even if they don't agro to you they will still go back to 0%
It is a passive tame with fish baskets (0.5 or higher) and yes you do newd ghillie armour. But no you do not need a full set. Use ghillie gauntlets and pants and keep your tek jet pack, tek boots, and your tek helmet on. When it goes to sleep dont land too close or you will wake it up and reset taming. It is much easier to do it this way. Also uou dont need to catch new fish. Get cryos and catch the fish then put them in cryo until needed, release and re-cage then feed.
Trap a Parana and you can get up to 1.6-2.0 taming effectiveness. So about 50 fish for a 150 🥴
Best way to get fungal wood is any of the large mushroom looking things under water on the main map. They line the beaches just a lil ways out
On fjordur using the admin cheat “giveengrams” will give you the engram for fish basket
If you breed them you have to stay on for the full time til baby to juvenile.....not much known about babies after you breed.
Use a trap it’s a lot easier than not using it
Nooblets.com has a design to a effective taming trap for shadowmanes. I personally use this design and it works like a charm. You can find tge design on YouTube nooblets.com is the guys username.
When trapping these water lions, don’t use the classic ramp and 3x3, instead use the 3x3 only, and then hover over the trap and the water lion will dash up to you and fall in the trap. Tek suit is recommended for this ;)
If you want to tame a Shadowmane in Fjordur here is some helpful advice: Don't they don't stay asleep consistently enough to be able to tame them and when they do decide to sleep for a minute after getting to about 70% tame it would reset, so after 12 hours of trying I have finally given up.
Watch nooblets new video with the trap
Tamed white one and kapro killed it 🦁🦁😭😭😭😭😭 Up for Ghost ( That’s what I named him)
Alafbragan and we are going to cusemere court
Most of the time it’s a pain in the butt to tame. It’s so hard and annoying to find them in the purple forest on Fjordur, an they just run away once you feed them. One day I kept trying to get one but my Desmodus kept killing it. I have bad experiences what these guys. Overall hard to tame but kind if worth it.
just force tame it and then ur done
Kill all of them. Not even worth the effort.
Whoever said, that they are keeping stuff in their inventory, is wrong. Fed 20 ovis to one 150. Killed it and it had not one single pelt in its inventory.
How to easily tame a Shadowmane.
1. Locate the shadowmane
2. Get on average 20 fish in baskets ( I heard that certain fish get better taming efficacy like salmon - apparently X-Salmon are the best )
3. Apply cactus broth, bring several for long tames, and several bug repellent for the insect life in the area
4. Using your Fed armour fly behind the shadowmane.
5. Sneak up on the shadowmane from behind and feed it, fly up if it wakes up
6. Using the taming hud track the shadowmane whilst flying a good few feet above the ground.
Repeat until tamed.
Bro, just watch the Nooblets video on how to tame. Easily the best how-to for taming anything, as well as being one of the best ark you tubers out there.
You can tame them with aberrant fish!!! I caught a whole bunch of coel easily on Aberration, cryopodded them, brought to Gen 2 and then trapped them back in the baskets.
Super easy taming! Use 4 Behemoth gates set up in a square as a trap. If he sleeps, you can land on the gate and fall down in the CROUCH behind him. Don't fall on him!! (he won't be happy about it xD) If you have given the fish, you just fly up and it calms down again.
