Mantis is an aggressive creature in Ark Scorched Earth, feeding with a carnivorous diet. Taming a Mantis is a difficult task due to its aggressive behavior. But all that comes with the advantage of wielding Melee weapons like Spear or Pikes on his back.
All the weapons on his back and Mantis’ aggressive behavior make him extremely deadly in battle. Read this guide to learn about the spawning location of Mantis in Ark Scorched Earth, including how to tame them.
How to Tame Mantis?
The key to taming a Mantis is to stay invisible by wearing a ghillie suit and bug repellant. Once you consume the bug repellant, sneak up behind the creature without getting noticed by it and feed it deathworm horns. Once you feed Mantis, it will be immediately tamed.
