They should be able to break metal walls they cant break metal walls but they r used to get metal 🤔 up this so people can see this

U can use a slingshot to tame it its that easy it was my first tame i tamed it at level 12 u dont need no trap or nothing

Leveling up the melee attack makes you gain more amount of metal

The ankylosaurs should be able to break metal walls

Grab him with argentav or quetz, if u r not patience enough with their speed. (Dont be dumb like me who travelling from redwood to snow biome for obsidian with only riding this guy) damn.... Im so nub XD

Even though it says you dont need narcotics i had to use over 20 on a level 55

1. Get tranq arrows and a crossbow
2. Find an anky of your desire
3. Shoot it in the head while walking backwards (they're slow so you can just walk while shooting)
4. When it runs away chase after it and shoot it
5. It'll be knocked out.
6. Feed it recommend food and any narcos if needed.
7. Congratulations!

They get about 3x more metal than you! And depending on the level they can easily kill Raptors and other small predators.

They're found almost everywhere
Beaches, highlands, chalk hills, green forest, I've even see some near desert.

I've heard that you aren't supposed to level the melee past 800, because it will 1 shot the rich metal nodes giving you less metal, instead of two hits, which would give you more metal.

Went to herbivore island in the hopes of taking one and bringing back a couple hundred metal. I ended up leaving with 3,700 metal. Such a good investment, get yourself an ankylo

I don't know if anyone else has thought of this but shouldn't ankys and dodics do torpor with their tails

does upping melee affect the amount of metal gained?

Best dino for gathering metal 9/10

Metal boi that's all u need to know

It is really an easy but worth tame. Have a crossbow and some tranqs (have a lot of tranqs incase of emergency). Shoot it in the head not their back. Dnt stand still, look if there are it's part ners or not then walk back and shoot. Eventually they get knocked out. I would recommend a little narcotics and berries bcz they are cheap. Ta daa u tamed it.

Ankylos are not useless even in the wild. If you're being chased by a carnivore, run to them. They are very strong depending on its level. And they usually spawn on groups, which means they can kill anything easily.

To the person who said to transfer metal to a argy with nothing but weight, dont. Anklos reduce the weight of metal so it would be easier to carry the anklo

to ank dont lvl up more than 60 lvl on damage it will make him take less metal.

Necessary tame
#1 Metal miner unless ur on genisis cuz magmasaurs

It can be carried by argy, reducing weight for metal cuz argy has -50% while this guy has a wopping -85% weight reduction, plus its faster than riding normally

Gathers immerusable amounts of flint

One of these paired with quetzal harvesting will give you the fastest harvesting for metal, crystal and obsidian. Just level melee and let the quetz take the weight of the Anky.

If you think the mountains are too dangerous

Just go to the Herbivour Island
Its the small island in the south east of the map
