To start with, you’ll need a region gate to open – naturally. If you’ve found one but can’t remember where exactly it was, the good news is that they are marked out on the map for you in Maneater, so finding region gates isn’t an issue you’ll need to deal with.

Our bull shark seems unable to actually hit the button even if you can jump up next to it and bite, or tail slap it yourself – believe me, I tried – so you’ll need some kind of throwing projectile.

Fortunately, there are often humans or large fish nearby these gates. Just make sure to let your current threat level drop off if you can’t find anything there at the gate, the alert for a shark might have scared off the locals in that case. Waiting in any of the grottos will probably be all you need to do to force it to disappear regardless.

In any case, now that we have a volunteer, grab them by attacking with a bite. Remember that some things might not survive you biting them based on their total HP, which you can usually guess by their level.

With that in mind, level 7 or higher fish seemed to be about the point where things didn’t die to my Elder tier shark bite in Maneater, so if you’re having trouble grabbing anything, focus on level 7 and higher. Alternatively, you can “borrow” a human, as they typically survive the first bite, demonstrated here.

When you’ve discovered something strong enough to survive your teeth, look up towards the button and hit the right click to use tail-slap to launch your chosen “projectile” at the button – if you hit, you should get a damage number as shown here.

After you successfully commit this act of Shark-powered projectile-based violence against that innocent button, you should be met with the gate opening shortly thereafter. Congratulations, you’ve officially gotten how to open gates in Maneater down.
