Ribs are a key ingredient in taming powerful animals like Bears and Polar Bears in 99 Nights in the Forest.
Unlike basic food items such as carrots or steaks, ribs are much rarer and can only be obtained through a specific method.
Here’s a quick and clear guide on how to get ribs.
Where to Get Ribs in 99 Nights in the Forest
The only way to get ribs in 99 Nights in the Forest is by killing a Mammoth. No other animal in the game drops ribs, which makes them a valuable resource for mid to late-game taming.
Once you take down a Mammoth, it will drop ribs as loot. The Mammoth is located in the arctic region.
You can then collect and use these ribs to tame animals that require them, such as Bears and Polar Bears.
How to Kill a Mammoth
Mammoths are one of the toughest animals in the forest.
Before you engage:
-
Make sure you have strong weapons and enough healing supplies.
-
It’s best to fight with a tamed companion to help soak up damage.
-
Keep moving during the fight to avoid its heavy attacks.
Once defeated, the Mammoth will drop ribs automatically, so make sure to pick them up before leaving the area.
What Ribs Are Used For
Ribs are primarily used for taming Bears and Polar Bears, which both require multiple ribs as part of their feeding requirements:
-
Bear: Rib x1 per tame (Total 5 for full taming) – View Detailed Guide
-
Polar Bear: Rib x1 per tame (Total 5 for full taming) – View Detailed Guide
Because these animals require several ribs, you’ll likely need to hunt multiple Mammoths to collect enough.
Quick Tips
-
Mammoths are late-game creatures, so don’t attempt to fight them early unless you’re prepared.
-
Coordinate your attack if you’re playing with friends to bring Mammoths down faster.
-
Always stockpile ribs when you get the chance; they’re not easy to farm quickly.
So, that’s all for now, folks.
Ribs are a rare but essential item for taming some of the strongest companions in 99 Nights in the Forest.
Since they only drop from Mammoths, plan your hunts wisely and make sure to gather enough before starting your taming spree.
