How to tame
1: Get resources to make a trap
Lots of stone wood fiber and thatch
Instructions on building the trap:
Make a 3x3 wood floor
Then put 3 stone doorways on each side
Put ramps on each side (Put 2 ramps one over the other if you need to)
2: Harvest tons of cinidaria venom (At least 100)
3: Harvest 200 berries of each kind
4: Trap it and then use tranq arrows/darts or a bat if you are new to KO
5: Feed berries and once the torpor gets to half, give it 1 to 10 cinidaria venom
6: Tamed
Shoot it in the face whilst going backwards there to slow to reach you when it runs away go in front of it and carry on shooting it in the face with tranqs.
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.
Get an argy first then find one of these guys, pick ‘em up, and drop them somewhere safe. Shoot the anky until knocked out and tame. P.S make sure your argy is on passive mode.

So you got enough time for a poo

Ankylosaurus-
Ah yes… while lookin like a endgame creature! It is infact a starter creature! It’s strong but slow. With also a large health pool. I think slowness is worth it! But you can pair them with many creatures like argentavis!
Taming Food-
I recommend using Mejoberries if you are just starting playing on the map. I recommend if you can do regular kibble!
Taming-
Slingshots possible! But not recommended! Use tranq darts or arrows! But use darts if it’s high level! Do not use darts on low levels!

Pump melee granted your going to encumber faster but the metal you get out of a rock is higher
LISTEN TO ME PLEASE
If you are in beginner game and are trying to tame a fast mount like more laptops or procoptodon, JUST KILL THE MOM AND TAME THE BABY. It works so well and the first kill is kinda hard cuz there fast but once you get one fast guy it's free. But this applies to almost all creatures with babies following them. Just trust
How to tame a anky!! :O
This Guide applies to The Island only.
First of all, let’s talk about the utilities of a Anky. They are amazing metal gatherers! It also has a weight reduction to metal. So any time you run out of metal, (which for me i run out of metal all the time) use an anky!
Now here is what you need to tame one:
- 10-20 Tranq arrows and a bow/crossbow (varies on the level)
-Berries and/or kibble
A couple notes about taming:
You won’t need any bolas, but if you want you could bring a big bear trap. Even though it’s unnecessary.
Also It’s torpor drops really slowly. So narcotics aren’t usually needed.

Now you maybe be wondering, where do I find this dude? One spot is on herbivore island. It’s way on the right side of the island. On your map it sticks out in the ocean. Another place is the Red Woods. And only go there if you are DESPERATE. It is near the area where the swamps and red woods meet. There are tons of other spots and you can find them on YouTube
Now how do you tame a anky?
Well once you have gathered all of your items you will need need to find your anky, shoot it and walk backward while shooting your tranqs. It won’t take very many tranqs, depending on the level. But then its knocked out! Now feed the berries or kibble of your choice and boom! You have a anky!!
