This is completely unrelated but if you put level 9999 and taming 0.01 it would take almost 42 million stimberries

Quote from my wife

Knocking it out was the easy part, now I have to defend it 24/7

I don't reccommend taming a Lv.150 with Mejoberries like I did :p

So we have Manny and Diego now we need Sid.

Idiots who say useless now on Wood on PC use Spacebar

If you are on your own try shooting it with a trank arrow and let it follow you to a safe spot I.e your base so you can tame it safely and you are closer to all your stuff too.

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...

U can’t get headshots mind that while taming

Best way to tame is have a crossbow with butt load of tranq arrows walk backwards tranqing it as you go every now and then you need to turn around to get a bit further away. I know this works because i have three mammoths that i used this exact stratigy on
