What is a mammoth used for? mammoth battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & 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 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)
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
These guys are one of my favorite creatures! They collect metric tons of wood and are pretty tuff, but with that their stamina is very low so make sure to keep stim- berries on your mammoth at all times or you might find yourself between 5 carnos and a hard place. These bad boys are a must have in solo, PvP, and PvE for that matter. Hope this helps.
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
