ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
very easy to tame.
fly over to the biom they spawn in (usually snow)
get on a nearby hill or rock and kill ones you don't want as they usually spawn in 2s or 3s (recommend an argentavis). then start shooting the mammoth with tranquillisers. when it torpor runs finish it off, they are very slow so very easy to hit. (protect from dire wolves, yutiranus, etc....)
hope this helps <3
When knocked out, make sure you don’t let anything
attack it. That happened to me an took four hours to tame.
Very usefull on mobile for alot of reasons:
1)can irrigate water tanks or even crop plots
2)their water spray can stun any flying dino
3)theire super useful for farming wood as they have a higher weight capacity and reduction than the beavers
4)they can drag corpses around
5)they can gather alot of rare mushrooms from swamp trees
6) they have a very op stomp abillity that can 1 shot most dinos(dimorphs,compies,low lvl raptors)
7)they can remove paint from structures with the water spray
Take more tranqs than doodledex says you need, the intimidation status effect it gives you reduces the amount of torpor it takes per tranq.
Very easy to tame. They are just a bit slower than a human so you could just walk back and tranq. Run away once in a while because it does catch up while you are walking. Once your mammoth of choice is knocked just run away for 10 seconds and the rest will lose aggro. Mine just took down a low level alpha Rex and took about 1000 damage after I put 250 armour hat. It's got a good health pool anyways. It's better than the beaver in that it can defend itself and my base, it can hold much more wood. It also collects berries extremely well. Thatch is also not a problem with this. And on mobile it's water spray can knockback even a rex incase I gotta bail... Did I mention that it's faster than a rex? Only thing is that it doesn't get as much wood but in the Arctic there's plenty of wood. Just spend a few more minutes collecting wood is the solution...
They can be found around the mountains in the winter biome if you are looking for them to kill or tame
Can be found in the snow biome, be careful for other dino's though, snow biome is a dangerous place.
One of the BEST tames for farming wood on mobile.
take with you a Pteranodon, your best clothing, some health brew (you can get the recipe by killing raptors or other predators easily) so you don’t die in the cold, tranc darts, narcotics, and root carrots you can easily farm in a medium sized plot.
Fly to the snow biome
Find a group of three, which is easy.
But make sure they kill any wolves or whatever would hurt you in the taming process so you don’t have to deal with it yourself
After everything is clear, kill the two mammoths you don’t need.
Then fly on a ledge and you’re all set.
To boost your taming rate, go caving wit a raptor/whatever and get smoothing balm for 10x rate
You might die the first time around by those guys who junk out of the dirt (I did lol)
Get on a raft, find one on the shore & just keep strolling away while you pump it with tranq darts. Just better have kibble, cause theses mammoths are picky 🤣
