They're good dinos for sure but when you game one they will always come in fat and slow, when you get stat points throw them all in movement speed, I guarantee you gathering metal will be efficient
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.
You can use an argy to pick it up when its inventory gets too heavy for it to walk then drop it on top of a metal rock and it will automatically harvest it then you can pick the anky up again and drop it on the next metal rock
Also make sure to drop stone every time you…

Also make sure to drop stone every time you harvest something because it can add up quickly and encumber your anky in less than a minute.
Where are anky I need metal for base
For maximum efficiency tame an Argentavis pump melee into the anky then fly to metal nodes and your anky will get good amounts of metal
Climb high on top of a rock and let the anky hit the rock instead of you and then hit it at the same time
You should actually use this mount to gather rockarrots,since ark mobile cannot determine the location of the nearest mammal on a mount, it’s one of the most efficient ways to obtain these.
Ankys are very easy to tame.
1. You don't need to make any traps for it.
2. It's very slow
3. It is not necessary to have a high level, just make sure to level it up on weight.
4.very useful
So get one
It's not hard

This creature is very useful in single player because of the need of metal for tools, saddles, shotguns, rifles, etc. In pvp it’s essential because metal is might! To tame you just need a slingshot and berries, even though tranq arrows are much better. One of the best creatures in Ark.
If you level up their Melee Damage stat, they gather more Metal Ore.
I know everyone knows this, but they are better at harvesting more Metal Ore than a Metal Pickaxe, Dododex says that but it is wrong.

Ankylosaurus is a good midgame metal collecter get like 10 15 tranq arrows find a good anky make sure there are know other ankys in the area and walk backwards shooting tranqs at him until unconscious then put like 150 berries in his inventory make sure you get like 20 narcotics watch him and make sure to feed him narcotics every while and your anky is ready to go
how to tame: im sure you have access to tranc arrors im sure you know what to do you numbskull.
Bring a karkinos and a mating pair. You can hold one with karkinos and have a friend gather with the other. Ankys get a 30% more resource yield which is nice when having mate boost
AMAZING all around tame for genesis 1, collects anything you need from starter to medium level materials. Movement speed and weight upgrade pts required!
These guys are pretty easy to tame, they are really slow. But if you are taming one that’s high level and has a lot of torpor you might need a sort of trap so they don’t run around. Idk if it would work but it might.
The Anky is slow and steady- he might not be a PvP Demon but he’ll make sure your metal supplies never run dry
These are must haves for going to the moutains, and obtaining metal. They collect lots of thatch, yet small amounts of wood. They can also collect berries, and rocks. If you go to a metal rock you get lots of metal and rock by using an ankylo. If you go to a normal rock, you…
These are must haves for going to the moutains, and obtaining metal. They collect lots of thatch, yet small amounts of wood. They can also collect berries, and rocks. If you go to a metal rock you get lots of metal and rock by using an ankylo. If you go to a normal rock, you get lots of flint with the ankylo. I guess you could say they collect everything. They are also pretty tanky.
Argies can also be fit with them.
Dont go near them if they are in a pack and you have low level Dinos that are stupid enough to attack them. Rip my 2 Iguanodons, my Dimorphodon and my new Scorpio >-<
You can use this with an arge just simply pick up the ankly and go next to metal great combo
Just get a bunch of tranqs and walk backwards while making sure you don’t back up into something deadly and just feed it berries or vegetables.
