What are tips for ankylosaurus? Tips and strategies for ankylosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
If you’re on ASA remember to always set it to harvest the rescource you need you can do this by going to harvest settings selecting harvest only and choosing flint, stone, or metal. This way you will not have to dump any stone when on flint or metal runs and be able to gather much more before your argy/anky is over weight. Hope this helps the beach bobs
If you are playing on the Island, don't waste your time looking for one on the mountains or in the redwood forest.
Just go to Herbivore Island, the safest spot to find both ankylosaurs and metal (the resource they are so good at gathering)!!!
For a low lvl player a lvl 1-45 is good enough to get you going but when you get the kibble a lvl 116-120/150 should be your main goal. High damage means more metal per hit & weight is your 2nd most useful stat to carry more. P.s taming a lvl 145 ankly now ;)
You can carry these things with Argentavis, Like so other people can see.
If you wanna kill one get a pike or a few spears, stab it in the head while walking backwards then after a few seconds boom it's killed
They are very slow and can't turn around very easily. So come up behind one and shoot it with tranq arrows. You should be able to knock it out before it turns around and attacks you. But don't get too close!! Watch out for other Ankylosaurus too. They are travel in herds
I live at herbivore Island try not to knock them out if there are his bros are around they will kill you plus don't go into water there faster then you
Sadly the anky does not have the ability to swing at rocks when held by an argy in Ark ultimate mobile edition(though for some reason the doed does have it). But they are still very good for gathering metal and other stuff! One way í do it is bro grabbing the anky with my argy, or just putting it in a cryopod. Then, I go to a metal-rich rock and manually gather the metal. It is still quite the same thing and it will still guarantee a ton of metal. Hope this tip helped!!
Just back up with a lot of rocks and with at least 4 different slingshots (of taming a level 95-155) and start shooting at it that's what I do
Around mountains and in the southern areas, in general pretty common
There was a island on the island south east of the main island I called it anky island because it was the first spot I saw an anky
Slow mobility makes this dino a sitting duck. Keep a little distance and you shouldn't have a problem. Crossbow preferred.
The Ankylosaurus is, in my opinion, one of the best dinos to tame as a low level. Not only is it the best dino to gether metal, it is also a great taming mount, because it can collect berries and can kill little things like Raptors easy. This will be one of your most used dinos when you get into the higher levels and taming an Anky as soon as you can make the saddle (lvl 40) is highly recommended.
