Great dino for gathering metal and it's almost easty to tame just shoot it with trank arrows in the head while walking backwards feed mejobery and then you got you're anky
These are surprisingly easy to find on herbivore island I have found multiple so far.
The Ankylosaurus harvests a lot of metal when hitting a metal rock. Up to 130 on official servers. They can also smash normal rocks (which are everywhere) to get a lot of flint and about half as much stone. This is perfect for making sparkpowder.
It can also be carried by Argentavis (which has a lot of weight), so you can easily transport your Anky to mountains for metal.
Herbivore island has a ton of these u shoot with tranqs and move backwards no carnivore live there so tame it and get metal
Chunky boi that will come at you like a wreking ball
I reliably want to know how to pick things up with army bc I need this for metal
These creatures are slow and easy to outrun.
Dude whenever I see these I don’t have tranqs or a raptor pulls a nope jump.
I mostly find in snowy place do tri ting tame
So just have a quetzal and ankylo, then make ankylo get metal and when encumbered, move him to next metal ore with quetzal and break again, because with breaking, u can get as much metal as you want in ankylos inventory unlike just putting it in, putting in has limit, so u can have like 5k metal with an quetzal and ankylo.
They might be hard-ish to tame but its mega worth it
Don’t start feed it narcs immediately. Wait until it’s at about 300 torpidity and then feed it every time it gets down to 300 again. You could probably wait even longer, but it may be a little risky. Doing this will save you a ton of narcs and make you lose less taming efficiency.
Hope this was helpful!
to ank dont lvl up more than 60 lvl on damage it will make him take less metal.
If playing on the island go to the herbivore island by raft then find one make sure there are no others around then shoot it with tranq bc they are really slow
