Ark Crystal Isles Taming a Mantis?

[N1TroX]

Hi, so I have one question regarding taming the mantis.
One of my friends is hosting a server with ASM, so we can play privately, we are 5. Ok so we are playing in Crystal Isles, normally there are no deathworms spawn in that map, however we manage to add an override to spawn them in the dunes south of the map. Ok so we did kill a couple of them, we carried a mantis with one wyvern to the base, locked it up, put some bug repellant with the deathworm horns in number 0, but when we approach the mantis from behind there is no text saying that we can feed it. What is it wrong? We are following every tutorial in youtube and it doesn't appear for either of us.

Thanks in advance.

In case you're still running into this:
Fly or run out of render range (make sure no one is in range), wait a few seconds then head back.
They hold their aggression longer than expected even when they're not acting like it and it takes time for them to be able to be fed again.

It's too bad they didn't give us a proper taming method when they pulled the deathworms from the map, same for basilisks...

Hey thanks for the answer, we will try that, actually we encounter after logging in yesterday that the mantis did disappeared from the area we usually drop creatures for easy tame... but we will get one, and do the Fly out method you mentioned.

De-rendering an area where you have a trapped creature can despawn it. As well as taking it too far from it's spawn location. WC change it to that a long time ago to stop players from doing stuff like making beaver dam farms at their base.

To my expecrience, this is more the case in SP. (I got almost always a despawn, when I tried to get more food at my base for the taming after knocking out a creature. and even starting the tramin-process...)
But it might function at least on privat server(clusters). (a few days ago, I stunned a creature and even changed maps. After coming back, it still was there.)

But if de-rendereing makes loosing aggro faster, it might be a good method to easier solo-tame the tropeognathus. Thanks for this tip. since you must trap it with a chainbola. An it gets aggroa s soon as you attack it.. Afaik the chainbola does at least 1 damage... (non-damage won't aggro passive wilds to my experience. Like the spores from a Lymantria for example.)
