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.

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 (I.e. Another tamed rock elemental) to help killing the wild ones. P.S. Ankys do NOT do "normal" damage to elementals, surprisingly.

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

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!

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

Good at getting metel

But not the fastest thing

Best dino for farming flint and metal. Level melee rather than weight. You can use a whip to move it once its encumbered.

because thayre not fast having about 150 in movement speed means you can kite them easy, easy taming!

Throw it in a 2x2 stone pin with 1 (2 for safe keeping) doorframes all around as walls and use a Argi to pick it up and put it in and use whatever tranq to knock it... If u have no Argi just launch tranqs at it and run away it is not fast so it won't catch up

The metal GOAT. This guy is your answer to all metal structures and equipment.

I have one with 7,430 health.they are not going to kill you in the wild. And they’res a giganthapethicus right next to my one I should kill it

If you gonna tame one of this fellas don’t go to mountains because you defenetly can’t kill a 250 giga or rex and they will eat the unconscious ankylo, you can go to herbivore island instead where the biggest threat is just a spino nearby or a megalodon but they are pretty easy to avoid unlike a giga or a rex which are constantly hunting, and the ankylo is uncommon in there so just search the island for one, press up if this was helpful :)

Interestingly, they are faster in water than on land. I've hit up metal nodes underwater with these guys, probably just under the same speed as a frog while swimming

On map fjordur you can find X-ankylosaurs on volcano island and they look way cooler than the normal ones.

Nock it and wait until the food drop 3k down so you don’t ruined your taming effect ( ark mobile)

These guys are great mid-level tames. You knock them out like most other creatures and shove food up their face. They make great stone, metal, or flint harvesters but I though about this while taming one today. What If there was a setting that they would harvest any nearby mineral/rock, AND you could chose what they harvest. For example, you go to options, see a setting button that says “ Harvest setting “ and click on it. Once you open that up, you can choose what you want your tame to harvest. Metal, stone, flint etc. it goes around hitting rocks and ONLY collecting stone, like you wanted it to. Have a great day!

If you’ll want to tame one just have a sling with like 50 rocks, walk backwards shooting Irma head it works every time and make sure you have enough speed or else or clapped

The ankylosaurus is a tank of a creature and has damage reduction on all parts of the body. They have weight reduction on metal but not ingots and can gather a lot of metal, stone , and crystals

Great metal heads and crystal harvesting but do not use them for oil! A metal pick is best. The resourse menu for oil is wrong with the Anky
