Don't keep it near water.Megapirhna can easily kill it in group.Rip my Anky.Megapirhna killed it when I was away.
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.
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.
In ark mobile these Ankylosaurus are so important if you're in a tribe, ingots are not a problem anymore if you have ankylo and argen, just upgrade ankylo Melee and weight for argentavis= easy metal
VERY GOOD METAL COLLECTORS eeeeeeeeeeee
Weight and melee is all you need to have an amazing ankylo Melee for getting more metal and weight for holding it
As of the July update it seems they no longer collect oil underwater with their tail swipe.
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.
If you have a boomerang just walk backwards while throwing at there head to knock out.
If you can tame an argy and an ankylo and just go everywhere you can find metal then you won’t have to worry about having to take your argy and ankylo then have to drop your Ankylo and get metal all you have to do is fly over metal and hit R2 or RT ( I think for XBOX) and you…
If you can tame an argy and an ankylo and just go everywhere you can find metal then you won’t have to worry about having to take your argy and ankylo then have to drop your Ankylo and get metal all you have to do is fly over metal and hit R2 or RT ( I think for XBOX) and you should have it in your ankylo
4 tranq arrows + random ankylo + berries or crops = tamed ankylo
Empty it’s inventory go to a mountain (preferably one with lots of metal Obsidian stone and crystal ) request it and just let it go ham on the resources
If you want to use these in space on Gen 2, don’t. Just use a mining drill, it’s better and you don’t have to drag any creatures around.
Magmasaurs are better then ankies, but Magmasaurs are only available in Gen 1, so use an anky if you can't get/don't want to get a magmasaur.
Do not get in the way of a level 321 one of these and a level 1 giga
When your going after it just run and then you will have a perfect shot to the head
Believe it or not, they are just as good at fighting as they are utility dinos. They have really far knockback and good melee. I've taken on packs of raptors, allos, and carnos with ease.
I have an Ankylosaurus at Herbivore Island that I use for metal mining. Since this is coming from ARK Mobile, the metal rocks resplendent rather quickly. Because of all of this, I have 500+ metal ingots stored up in my smithy, ready to be used for something late-game. Tame an…
I have an Ankylosaurus at Herbivore Island that I use for metal mining. Since this is coming from ARK Mobile, the metal rocks resplendent rather quickly. Because of all of this, I have 500+ metal ingots stored up in my smithy, ready to be used for something late-game. Tame an Ankylosaurus at Herbivore Island, they will get you all of the metal. Just make sure your Ankylosaurus has good weight for maximum efficiency.
