If it’s in a herd try to lead it away than tame it.
Ankylosaurus
The Ankylosaurus is a heavily armored herbivore specializing in harvesting metal and other mineral resources. Its durable body and crushing tail make it a sturdy, if slow, defensive mount.

Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Ankylosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
You need to tame it for more metals and he ages kibble
How to tame an Ankylosaurus:
1. Ankylos are slow, so you can knock it out while walking, or build a small structure using stone to tame it more safely.
2. When you find an ankylo, start shooting it with a tranquilizing ammo, like tranq arrows or certain darts.

Hope this helped! Bye!
Tame a high level anky, level health, get ascendant saddle BP, tame argy, pick up the anky with your argy, drop it on the enemy tribe’s base
You:
-1 anky
-1 ascendant anky saddle
VS.
The enemy tribe:
- all the bullets in their turrets
+ lots of grinding to make new…

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.
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
(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!!!".…
(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! 😁🤙
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!

Make sure to not get behind them, you will get slapped with a club that is spiked!
The deo may not collect obsidian any more but this animal collects tons of it. It can also be carried by an Argie and the Argie decreases the weight of obsidian. If you get my gist it is super easy to get tons of obsidian
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
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.
As most know, the anky gathers flint, metal, obsidianand similar resources very well, BUT it comes with an added bonus. An anky can "gather" these items from a rock elemental corpse, so it can be used to gather tons of resources from them, as long as it has backup…
As most know, the anky gathers flint, metal, obsidianand similar resources very well, BUT it comes with an added bonus. An anky can "gather" these items from a rock elemental corpse, so it can be used to gather tons of resources from them, as long as it has backup (I.e. Another tamed rock elemental) to help killing the wild ones. P.S. Ankys do NOT do "normal" damage to elementals, surprisingly.
Holds the highest weight reduction % with 85% for metal (ore)
It takes a long time to tame just saying
If you invest enough xp in speed, they make a good average speed mount. If you hit the yellow rocks, you will get more metal than you will know what to do with!
