Spawn a tamed Manticore at any level

gmsummon spawns it already tamed. Set the level below — it's the pre-tame level, and ARK adds up to a 50% taming bonus on top, so the final creature lands higher. Change the number, copy, paste.

cheat gmsummon "Manticore_Character_BP_C" 150
≈ level 225 once tamed

A gmsummon-tamed Manticore still needs a saddle — it isn't force-tamed. Want it instantly, level aside? Use cheat SummonTamed Manticore_Character_BP_C (random level).

ARK Manticore FAQ — Ability, Uses & Spawn Commands

What does the Manticore do in ARK?
A boss-only creature that attacks with aerial dives, bites, and ranged torpor-inflicting tail spines. As its health depletes it summons Deathworm and Rock Elemental minions. Manticore is a n/a (boss, not tameable). First Expansion Pack boss in ARK. It is the only Canon Guardian creature that cannot be played in the Survive the ARK mission.
How do you use the Manticore's ability in ARK?
Not tameable. Fought as a boss (Scorched Earth, Ragnarok, Valguero). The Manticore only lands periodically — critically, it lands far more often if players bring NO flying tames or shoulder pets. Keeping the arena free of flyers forces ground-phase windows where melee tames can deal full damage. Bring a Rex squad (prioritize Health and Melee Damage) buffed by a Yutyrannus courage roar, a Daeodon for passive healing, and optionally 10–16 high-melee Mantis equipped with quality swords for burst DPS. Stay on raised platforms to avoid Deathworm add spawns. Use stimulant or Medical Brew to counter torpor from tail spines. Stash all inventory in tames before the kill on Scorched Earth — the ascension sequence destroys player inventory.
What is the Manticore good for in ARK?
Boss fight (Scorched Earth, Ragnarok, Valguero progression). Drops Element, armor skins (boots, chest, gauntlets, leggings, shield), and a trophy.
What is the Manticore spawn command in ARK?
Open the console with ~ and enter cheat summon Manticore_Character_BP_C to spawn a wild Manticore in ARK: Survival Ascended. For a tamed one at a level you choose, use cheat gmsummon "Manticore_Character_BP_C" 150. On a server, run enablecheats <ServerAdminPassword> first and keep the cheat prefix.
How do I spawn a tamed Manticore at a specific level?
Use cheat gmsummon "Manticore_Character_BP_C" <level>. The number is the pre-tame level — ARK adds up to a 50% taming bonus, so a value of 100 ends up around level 150. To hit a target level, divide it by 1.5. A gmsummon creature still needs a saddle to ride.
What's the difference between summon, SummonTamed and gmsummon?
summon drops a wild Manticore at a random level. SummonTamed gives you a tamed one but at a random level you can't set. gmsummon spawns it tamed at the level you specify — the one most people want.
Do ARK spawn commands work in single player and on servers?
Yes. In single player the cheat prefix is optional and no password is needed. On a dedicated or non-dedicated session you must run enablecheats <ServerAdminPassword> once, then prefix each spawn with cheat. Set that admin password without hand-editing files using our free ARK config generators.
Are there other versions of the Manticore?
Yes — Manticore has 3 spawnable variants (Gamma, Beta, Alpha). Each has its own class name, listed with copy-paste commands in the variants table above.
