How do I kill a ankylosaurus? ankylosaurus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
One of the only creatures that can be found on all maps!
This boi hate predators if you being chase just run over this Bois and some herbivore that can fight back
Can sometimes be found on the NW argentavis peninsula on the Island
Ankys are not a Dino that is going to go after you unless you hit them first and even if they are after you outrunning them is literally the easiest thing in the world, you almost walk faster than their run so you literally don’t need a brain to escape them, now in terms of killing them, I mean it’s not very difficult at all honestly, they’re pretty tanky sure but their attacks are slow have almost no range and generally won’t hit you unless you let them.
Dude whenever I see these I don’t have tranqs or a raptor pulls a nope jump.
Ankys are much faster in water than on land and are able to tank most of the megladons right off the edge of the shore
I live by herbivore island and I took my raft to it and I found a lot of ankylosaurus
They’re very nice for taining put all lvl’s on health eaisily let the dino attack it and shoot tranq arrows/darts.
In genesis you can find them in the snow biom
The best spot got high levels is in the volcano biom
I mostly find in snowy place do tri ting tame
If using this dino for pvp combat please do not use the R2/RT attack spam the L2/LT attack and prey they don’t have masses of health while moving forward to attack them. DONT use the big attack as that wastes time and gives them an opening for attack like I did.
Up if this helped at all.
PS it is useful for taming high health dinos because if the Dino attacks you whack it until it until it runs away.
For those that are new, like me, I found that, at least in single player, the easiest way o find these guys was on herbivore island. Right off the south zone 3 spawn.
Also suggest going here early for the abundance of stegos, trikes, psteradons, etc.
Chunky boi that will come at you like a wreking ball
In the left of the map they spawn really fast but if you go there be aware because there spawn a lot of dangerous Dino's like Allo or scorpion or even rexes
to ank dont lvl up more than 60 lvl on damage it will make him take less metal.
These are surprisingly easy to find on herbivore island I have found multiple so far.
Ankylosaurus
Make sure to not get behind them, you will get slapped with a club that is spiked!
When I was on a adventure with Blue,Charlie and my superweapon the Rext 5000 a Tyrannosaurus Rex I was harvesting stone and flint a wild Carno attacked me the Rext 500 ran away I found a flock of Ankylosaurs near me so I decided to hide in the flock then the Carno was dead and I'm never going back to that island
If hunting with a trike, you can kill one easy. But if I’m a group you can loose your trike
These things are tougher than they look
And in the wild they may seem weak, but with a rider than you dead and your mount and your life and your base if it isn’t stone or better
