They can easily be knocked out with a decent Pachy if you dont wanna waste tranqs. I just knocked a 150 with my level 205 Pachy.
They really shine in scorched earth, as they are everywhere. Its fairly easy to tame a legion of them with a few boomerangs. Early on this can provide you with a solid defense. And once you can make a saddle you can get to mining huge amounts of metal, obsidian, and crystal from the mountains. Have other dinos like kentros or morella to carry the obsidian and crystal as the ankys don't have reduced weight on those, they should be fine carrying stacks of metal. Weirdly they seem to have lower base health than doedicurus, but stronger attacks. Also they can harvest huge amounts of flint from regular rocks to make sparkpowder.
Man, I thought these were gone be a tough take, but you get rocks and a slingshot with the ability to moonwalk at five miles an hour, and you're golden. Stoked to get a saddle for it so I can harvest the metal off this island I found him on.
For the person who said they can’t find one, go to herbivore Island there’s heaps
DONT hit it when other ankys are around they will come and attack you as well also there very very good at getting metal
If you get too close, they may attack you. They are great at gathering metal and many keeps them for just that. At low level, they can only carry a few stacks of rocks. Herbivore Island (bottom South east) is a great place to find them.
If you’re looking for these on Ragnorok, they’re pretty common in the Cold Eye. That’s where /I/ found some at least.
Go to the Volcano and you’ll find tons of em there
They can also be found in the redwoods near the mountain.
