Manticore is a hybrid boss with the body of a lion, bat, and scorpion in Ark Valguero. Taking down this creature is hard as it mostly flies in the air, so you need precision in aiming.
The trick is simple: take down the Dragon boss first and clear the room for Manticore. With the three variants of this creature, you earn varying elements. This guide details the complete instructions on how to find, spawn, and defeat Manticore in Ark Valguero.
Ark Valguero Manticore Location
Manticore, along with Megapithecus and Dragon, can be found inside the fighting arena named Forsaken Oasis. You can only travel to Forsaken Arena through a teleportation portal from any of the Obelisk.
How to Defeat Manticore in Ark Valguero?
Once you enter the arena, move down the stairs to aggro the dragon, take it down first, and wait for Manticore to appear. Make sure you have the gas mask on to avoid its poison attacks. Before the fight, program the Deinonychus to Whistle to attack the target.
When Manticore flies away while the Deinonychus are attacking him, move in a circle until he lands because if you stay in one place, he will attack you from above. If, for some reason, the Manticore is not landing on the ground, you can use a Shotgun to shoot the Manticore in the air.
Best Dinos to Use Against Manticore
Deinonychus
The good about Deinonychus is that they are ignored by most of the big bosses in Ark Valguero, so they can easily attach them without being attacked first. Attack-wise, they have a bleed attack that does much damage to bosses.
Yutyrannus
They are one of the best dinos to bring to the boss fight because of their fearlessness towards the Manticore. They have Courage Roar ability, which is also very helpful in boss fights like Manticore.
Daeodon
Daeodon is the dinos that require constant food during the fight as a fuel source. Still, if you can manage that, they have excellent healing powers that will help you tremendously during the Manticore boss fight because they will have the same stamina and health after each successive attack from the Manticore.

- Element

How to Fix Manticore Glitch?
If Manticore stays still in the air, aim and shoot it with your shotgun. If you want to unfreeze it, move around the battlefield while whistling. Repeat the shooting and the boss will eventually unfreeze, and you can continue fighting normally.
If you want to kill it there, aim and keep shooting at it until its health starts draining. Stick to the same position and continue shooting; it will take some time, but the boss will fall.
