The spikes on it's back stick out from under the saddle, but you can ride it. Unlike a kentrosaurus. Well...
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.

Easy tame. Just walk backwards and shoot your desired ammo. It won’t catch up to you, just be carful of any debris that you are near, as if you walk into it, the ankylo might land a strike! Once you’ve knocked it out (no headshot multiplier) just feed it some mejoberries…

Once you’ve knocked it out (no headshot multiplier) just feed it some mejoberries and keep a couple narcotics on hand just in case (I don’t normally need any) wait a minute and voila you have your very own metal producing Dino!
The fact that it harvests not only metal, but almost all other plant and natural resources (except fiber) makes it one of the most valuable tames. If paired with an argy, the two are the key to limitless potential.
On Ragnarok, go to canyon and get your industrial forge setup there. Bridge the entire area up and get a couple ankys and use em to gather metal and burn it all up. Can produce heavy amounts if done efficiently though takes time to get the metal to make the forges.
These creatures are amazing for farming metal so you might want to make a pen near a mountain with metal nodes. You also might want to either upgrade weight a lot or get an argentavis with a lot of weight to carry it!
Just like a turtle you can ride it without a saddle. "It is great about its utility," says I am the SURVIVOR, master of the blue obelisk. "But my brain is thinking about the better choice--leaving them in the wild."
anky’s are really good when u have an argy too, all u gotta do is pick ur ankylo up and fly to a volcano or something, use ur anky to get metal, crystal and obsidian or whatever, then fly him back to ur base!
It takes me 2 days RL to fin A LEVEL 100
The best way to farm metal INDISPUTABLY is with an anky and a karkinos. The karkinos can throw the anky to different metal nodes, regardless of the weight of the anky, meaning that you can get up to 300 stacks in one metal run!
They prefer mejo berries from everything else.
Thylaceo is the best mountain climbing animal (for omever said they are the best) I play with my brother on the island I got a dire Bear and he got a thylaceo I may be a bit faster but he can climb up walls for (Pete sake) I'm not mad just a fact check trust me on this
This Dino gets a weight reduction on metal
Ankylos are pretty easy to tame. They only take a while to tame but their torpor doesn't go down quick so it's not too hard to tame one... Just knock them out while walking backwards (no trap needed) and once knocked out I highly suggest covering with spike walls.…

Just knock them out while walking backwards (no trap needed) and once knocked out I highly suggest covering with spike walls. Metal is best but wood does fine it will protect the anky from attacks and make it easier to spot, just leave a gap so that you can access it's inventory. It gathers berries OK, not as good as the trike due to its slow movement speed but works in a pinch if they're not around. Anky's have crap weight but since metal weighs less in them it's not too bad. I just chuck the stone and flint I get since I can get that from smashing normal stones later if I need them. Getting an argent is recommended. I plan on getting more anky's. One with melee damage, others with weight to carry mire metal back to base since mine is in a mountain... Overall they're an upgraded pick that collects berries not meat...
Raising the ankys melee will increase it's farming capabilities significantly. I Recommend getting a higher lvl anky.
guys gotta say this is the best gathering dino gather metal 1/4 the wait plus get an argi with it harvest metal and obsidian argi halves the wait for those best tandem
Super recommended but it's land speed sucks but still the BEST!!
I was taking a trip to the mountain with 3 pteradon and then I saw one I was so happy so I started tranq ING it immediately but I forgot to set my pteradon to passive...
The anky is very good for getting metal
Shoot it in the head with tranq darts/arrows and run around it in circles
Warning X-Anky takes more darts to drop a 100 took me 60 shots on x2 single player
