Location

Mammoths are large creatures in ARK Survival Ascended and can be found in the snowy and mountain areas on the island. As the snowy region is extremely cold, it can be lethal for players. You'll need to wear clothes that protect you from the cold before venturing into these areas. You can carry a strong and fast tame to protect and locate these creatures efficiently. These elephant-like creatures live in groups, so you can find a high-level Mammoth easily.

Preparation

You must be properly prepared before taming a Mammoth, as mistakes can be lethal. Here's a list of everything you need before taming the monster:

• Superior Kibble
• Crops
• Mejoberry
• Crossbow or Tranquilizer
• Narcotics
• Steel Billboards

After locating a Mammoth, you must clear the area of any aggressive monsters before approaching the beast. Failure to clear the region can result in an unsuccessful taming process.

Once the area has been secured, you can carefully approach the Mammoth you'd like to tame. You must not attack beasts that are close to their group as that can lead to an aggressive mob of Mammoth chasing you.

Taming

Once you have selected a Mammoth you want to tame, you can lure it to a safe and open area and trap it using steel billboards. While four to five steel billboards will be enough, you should carry extras in case the Mammoth breaks them. After trapping the ARK Survival Ascended beast, you can knock it down using a Crossbow or Tranquilizer. You can then feed it Superior Kibble, Crops, and berries to successfully tame it.

You must keep an eye on the Topor while taming a Mammoth and feed it Narcotics if the Torpor drops drastically.
