Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a mammoth? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a mammoth.
Build to 8 pillars high. Then place a ceiling and extend 1 or 2 catwalks in the direction of your choosing. Then you can just do a little tomfoolery and start shooting it from there, though be sure to clear out the area first. Works with both taming and killing them.

Best way to tame solo is using a tame boat, allows you to easily knock out, then transport to somewhere safe, and more importantly warmer
Use the same trap as a allo then you could just knock it out
Easiest way to KO a mammoth is to have a guy pick it up with a quetzal and you shoot it from below. If you don't have access to a quetzal use a basic dinosaur trap.
Literally just a 2c2 with 1 high walls and you done
To tame just run and shoot ez taming 50ish tranq darts to be safe just lure out of snow biome

Apparently the new x2 rates don't apply to mammoth use default base x1 when taming just figured this out.
I'd suggest kiting it to your base and tranq'n it with an anky or dino with high health that you can shoot off to make for an easy solo tame.Get that raptor kibble and bam you got yourself a snuffalufagus. Your welcome
Good for berries late game and or wood saddle is pretty cheap and is a all around good game upgrade its weight or health to tank turrets but a turtle is much better. It can be picked up by a quetzal so you can tame it at your base the attic isn't a very safe place to knock anything out.
The Mammoth is easy to knock out if you know how to. Because of their slow speed you can KO them on your feet by running about 30 feet ahead and turning to shoot them every once in a while.
It is the best gathering resources creature after the theri it's good at gathering berries and thatch and great at gathering wood sadly it cant gather fiber
You’ll probably only need this tame for wood cause in my opinion it’s pretty useless but to tame it what I did was let it hit my blood wyvern while I shot tranq arrows at it and it was out in under 2 minutes.
It's easy to tame one!
Here's a step-by-step guide
Step 1. Find one (in snow biome)
Step 2. Tranq arrow it (watch out they're usually in packs!)
Step 3. When it's knocked out put berries/crops inside it's inventory
Step 4. Don't let direwolves get it
Step 5. Enjoy your new Manny the mammoth from ice age!
I did my research on the mammoth and even a level forty mammoth only takes about 18 tranq arrows out of crossbow to knock out.
If play on prim+ this nice dino loves the sorghum. It is like giving it kibbel.
This Dino can only be picked up by a quetz, nothing else
(mobile) best way to tame is using vegetable with sppthing palm most easy way to get it is hunters cave. Just bring a 2x2 stone trap almost 100 trank arrows on crossboss 8-10 spike walls and about 50 or 60 carrots 1 soothing palm and make sure you have a good armor or a weapon to fend of hostile and place your trap on a good spot to protect ,the difficult part is to find a lvl300 and luring it . Make sure you have a flyer though PT is good. Goodluck
Hope this works for you.
A 3x3 and 2 high trap works great to trap a mammoth for taming
Excellent for gathering wood in the Tundra when the Castoroides is too weak to survive over there. If using a lower level mammoth, simply have a pack of dire wolves follow you and you will never have a problem.
A level 11 took 9 arrows from a crossbow not 6 like it says.
