Astral Mammoth
Variant
Overview
The Astral Mammoth is a massive herbivore variant with a unique weight-reduction ability. It reduces Wood weight by -75% in its inventory. This makes it ideal for players hauling large quantities of Wood across long distances.
Spawn Locations
Astral Mammoth does not currently spawn on any ARK: Survival Ascended map, or spawn data is not yet available.
Taming
The Astral Mammoth cannot be tamed.
Astral Mammoth is not tamable.
Drops & Harvest Resources
Killing an Astral Mammoth yields Hide, Raw Meat, Raw Prime Meat, Keratin, and Pelt. The Hatchet is the best tool for harvesting Hide, Keratin, and Pelt, while the Pick maximizes Raw Meat. For Raw Prime Meat, use a dino with Prime harvesting capabilities.
| Resource |  Pick |  Hatchet |
|---|---|---|
| 40%~21~17 hits | 60%~32~13 hits | |
| 60%~24~17 hits | 40%~16~13 hits | |
| 3%~1~17 hits | 2%~1~13 hits | |
| 2%~1~17 hits | 3%~2~13 hits | |
| 40%~21~17 hits | 60%~32~13 hits |
Estimates based on game-extracted data (weights, quantities, harvest multipliers, damage type chains). Each harvest event independently rolls each resource - higher weight = higher drop chance. Actual yields vary with RNG.
Gathering Abilities
While ridden, the Astral Mammoth gathers a wide range of resources through its Tusk Attacks, Trunk Grab, and Swimming Attack. These harvest Berries, Mejoberry, Narcoberry, Stimberry, Rare Flower, Rare Mushroom, Wood, Fiber, and Cactus Sap at 10× efficiency. Its Stomp and Carried Tusk Swipe gather resources like Crystal, Keratin, Raw Meat, and Scrap Metal at 2× efficiency.
Weight Reduction
The Astral Mammoth reduces Wood weight by -75% in its inventory. Pair it with a carrier dino to maintain this reduction during aerial transport.
Damage Resistances
The Astral Mammoth has a strong resistance to fire, taking -60% damage from fire-based attacks. It is highly vulnerable to spike walls, which deal +400% damage. Explosions and certain melee attacks also exploit significant weaknesses, making defensive spike walls extremely effective.

Astral Mammoth Tips & Tricks
The Roar (Stun) ability stuns enemies within range for 15 seconds, reducing their Melee Damage by 25%. This effect has a 30-second cooldown lockout period. Tusk Attacks gather most plant-based resources at 10× efficiency. Stomp harvests multiple high-tier resources like Crystal and Scrap Metal at 2×. The -75% Wood weight reduction is retained only if the Astral Mammoth is not knocked out during transport.
