Knock’N’Tame: Ep 2: Anky
The high defense, club tailed, herbivorous, ankylosaurus!
Welcome to Ep 2 of Knock’N’Tame! The Anky!
How to tame: defensive… try finding a knockout with high damage. Try low level, when you knock it out, feed it narcoberries, then wait. Boom! You have your own base-crusher!
How to Oof: it’s hard to kill a very armored dino… but if you have a rex or so, you train it! Then you can oof the base-oofers.
Thanks for reading!
The best for metal get high damage and bring a quetzal or rg to carry if you can’t get a rg then pump points into weight until you get one then get a new one and pump damage
If on servers have one person sit on the anky and the other fly the rg harvest that way P.S it takes practice to get it done
A rg can Carry a decent amount but a quetzal is much better
Sincerely lonely dodo 🦤
A easy to get hide is to shoot these thing with a bow while running away (easy for beginning of game)
For beginners:
Go to Herbivore Island (off the southeast coast) and tame one there. Take it back to your base on a raft with walls (make sure it doesn't fall off)
Don’t knock it out near any potential danger if you don’t have spikes to place around it I would advise using an army to mov dit to a safer location if you have one
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.
If hunting with a trike, you can kill one easy. But if I’m a group you can loose your trike
I found an infinite damage glitch. What you need to do is take the ankylo (works on other herbivores and some carnivores) ride it and attack something before it hits the target use the spyglass now you found an infinite damage glitch . It works on the spino and rex but the stacks are lower . Works on stego and bronto too but make sure you have a saddle
If you need metal and also have an argentavis, then this tip is for you!! *works best with a friend.*
• Carry the anklo using the argentavis to a mountain. Have someone ride the ankle, and someone else ride the argentavis.
• fly close to a metal rock, and swing the anklo's tail!
• Do this till your argentavis has a full amount, but just enough to fly.
• Fly back to your base and enjoy!
Once tamed they can traverse steep mountains pretty easily unlike other creature like pulmonoscorpius, which is good when you don't have argies in early game when farming metal also you can use it for luring purposes since you can use weapons and tools when riding an anky. Just go to a steep mountain and lure wild creature then watch them slide while you shoot them in the face.
1: Find Ankylosaurus
2 : if you have an Argentavis, take it to a taming pen or other desirable place for taming.
3 : Start filling it with tranq arrows. Walk backwards while shooting it in the head..
4 : When it tries to run away, use it’s slow turning speed to keep a line of sight to it’s head.
5 : Now that it’s knocked out, you can start taming it with berries or other.
Don't even need a trap. Just make sure the area is safe then tranq it. These guys are slow, so just don't be so next to them and you'll be fine. After knocked out, you'd better want a strong dino to protect it, because Ankylos take long to tame without kibble. And that's it, you'll have one of the best farmers of the game, very easy tame
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
