If it’s in a herd try to lead it away than tame it.
You need to tame it for more metals and he ages kibble
(Mobile players) Tame about 5 or more of these-or breed and imprint*optional them if ya want after finding both male&female, and then with your anky squad bring via eagle or quetz"if ya have one by now" or teleport them all to metal mountain 🤭"Ahem!!!"...tallest mountain close to center of map... and then set them on wander to smack-a-doo whatever they beef with up there..."psst...there is alot of rocks and metal veins up there including some crystal". Let them handle their to do's for a min or so then command whistle follow all and watch the troopers run over to inspect their quarry, if any or all havent clocked some work in then bring em to a spot not cleared yet whilst still following then whistle stop all...are they still set on wander mode...? Maybe. Transport your load any method by wings, land mount, or personal favorite by foot to your humble abode and relish in a decent amount of sparkies and heavy stuff to put into heavy shiny stuff maker...theres probably an easier way to make those but i havent found it yet so yeah back and forth up and down the rocky earth pimple gushing with the temporary metal and rock goo i go...i did try using parachutes but...i set my abode in the humble safety of herb island...yeah...anywho-diddly its impooossible for anyone to make a base or something up there, i have no idea where anyone including me to find the stuff to make it up there since mountians barely hold and trees and plants...just rocks....lotsa rocks. G'day! 😁🤙
Not sure if it’s a glitch or maybe one-time only, but potent dust fully knocks this guy out on mobile. Probably wouldn’t work for taming though as it wouldn’t allow me to lvl it up during this time
Make sure you have enough stuff to tame keep it in a safe location
Just use a boomerang if it is available on the map you are playing on. If it's not, just use bear traps and club it.
Heres how to tame this safely 1. Find one 2. Bait it by attacking it 3. Go to a safe place 4. Use your use your crowsbow (and tranqs) 5. Feed it berrys 6. Sleep in a bed 7. Wait a few minutes 8 you got one this is how i tamed my first anky.
The anky is very common on herbivore island, and there are no carnivore on herbivore island. Nothing goes for you unless u hit them first, so tame on!
Keep a look out for mates if you go to herb kill all the lower ankys untill a higher lv spawns I have tamed a lv 145 on herb starve tame is best method
Ankylosaurus
Make sure to not get behind them, you will get slapped with a club that is spiked!
I've surprisingly found alot In the SW area, but do keep in mind they do attack in packs so be careful of your surroundings.
CAN now bw carried by Argy!! easier to tame
This animal is
Easier to knock out with darts or arrows from a higher or hill side or run or sprint on a Dino or pterodactyl
It takes a long time to tame just saying
Just run backward while shooting with tranqs and just feed berries you will need a bit of bio toxin but just a tedious taming process- I notice many tips don’t apply for mobile so I really need help with surviving the ark
Great for farming metal get a cross bow/bow wit at least 10 tranq arrows for a low lvl one... And feed it solo kibble after KO.then pump its melee and weight
Remember, when using the anky in a mining platform it has a wide range of attack. It doesn't have to be touching the rock to harvest it, only has to be in range. This will help prevent getting knocked off as often.
