Utility Tips

What is a mammoth used for? mammoth battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
So when I learned that you get rare mushrooms while using the mammoth in the swamp trees.I was excited but the swamp is a place full of pretty dangerous creatures.So I brought backup just incase and well my backup was a theri and a spino.I was riding my mammoth to get the rare mushrooms while I let my theri and my spino to handle all the nasties.And it was a success.I got alot of rare mushrooms,fiber from the theri,and meat from the spino.It was fun.Also I play on mobile btw if anyone's curious
One of the best tames u could actually get,their saddle isn’t hard to get in terms of level nor ressources,they gather decent amounts of thatch and huge amounts of wood,they are really big and have a decent speed,faster than the trike tho,the stamina is better and it is well balanced in its stats
This is way more versatile than the beaver and far easier to tame as well.
I've killed an alpha rex with mine, has a weight reduction on wood so it can gather an obscene amount in one trip, it has a really large AOE on its stomp which makes it amazing for collecting berries as well and it's the best early tame to clear out the Arctic as it's stomp cuts down wolf packs and annoying argies with ease.
Late game use it for its weight reduction alongside a beaver for collection if wood is a need to get both insane wood collection speed and large carrying capacity of wood
On mobile it can also wear hats so it can get insane armour from a good flak helmet making it unstoppable. Borderline as good as a rex once you spec into melee
this thing is a huge tank, mine does 656 damage on training dummie, which is insane and this creature has an insane heath pool and alot of stamina
best secret last tip
some creatures can have a fasterand better attack,
it has a 2000 dps if you use right attack on training dummie by looking left.
