Steps to tame a mammoth
- Upgrade your flute to level 3 first.
- Stock 10 Pumpkin and 5 Cake. Running out mid-way means walking back for food.
- Start the minigame next to the mammoth: hold to raise the red marker, release to lower it, stay in the green zone.
- Feed 2 Pumpkin and 1 Cake after each stage.
- After 5 stages it shows pink hearts and follows you.
Why bother
TechWiser lists the Mammoth with the Wolf and Bear as a combat pet that protects you better than a Bunny. Pets only fight enemies that have attacked you first, and you can hold just 2.
What we could not confirm
No guide we read says where Mammoths spawn, so we do not give a location. Guides are from 2025 to mid 2026 and the game updates often, so check numbers in game.
Quick tips
- 10 Pumpkin and 5 Cake is the whole bill.
