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.
Make the saddle first then tame it. It makes life easier
If you have access to one, a boomerang is perfect, they run too slow so a boomerang can knock em out without you being hit once, then give it berries and watch it like an argentavis (hawk), you never know if they'll wake up or not
This guy is REALLY good early game to get metal. But if you have Genesis or the server is custom to let you have one without Genesis, then the mining drill is far superior.
My base is near to lava cave one day I go to collect metal I found there are 3 ankys I shooked I tame 2 level anky his health is 700 I think when I make his saddle I break a simple rock I get 34 metals In my mind the anky is a alive pickaxe
Just got a saddle on my girl bumpy and I love her even more!!! This thing is a boss metal gatherer!!! A bit slow but I will just increase her speed!
Knocking it out and letting it starve then wake back up and tranq again. 0 narcotics and 1 tamed anky
For this guy I reccomend having an argy with lots of weight the two are an amazing pair and with the argy you can carry the anky to a safe location (such as an abandoned cave) so you don't have to worry about protecting it. On official I went through 20 narcotics and a few…
For this guy I reccomend having an argy with lots of weight the two are an amazing pair and with the argy you can carry the anky to a safe location (such as an abandoned cave) so you don't have to worry about protecting it. On official I went through 20 narcotics and a few stacks of narcoberries on a lvl 50 so be prepared to wait a long time but in the end a 50% weight reduction on metal will be worth
You can knock one with a slingshot. I tamed one on extinction with a slingshot and it didn’t do much damage to it
Very easy to tame. It's very slow and can be knocked out with a slingshot. So it makes it a creature that can be tamed on a low level. Just put some mejoberries and some narcoberries (or Narcotics if you are high enough level) just in case.
Decent swimmer, i’d say it has the same speed with a parasaur while swimming, super slow on land though, also to the person who said 220% melee is best for anky, can you inform me if 462% melee is ok because it had that much melee when i tamed it, it was a lvl 150 anky before…

You DO NOT GET MORE METAL from ore. You gather it faster ankys are great to gather the same amount of metal from ore faster! Higher melee is nice but not necessary over 200%. I'd go 200% melee then the rest hp.
U can use a slingshot to tame it its that easy it was my first tame i tamed it at level 12 u dont need no trap or nothing
If your on SE use boomerang very easy to knock out an anky
Not sure if it is just me but I have killed 2 ankys in a row trying to knock out with crossbow. I suggest darts
So this thing can break basically all rocks within a single hit but not stone walls
Hey if ur looking for ketrian theese are ur go to guys.
KILL THEM ALL
Where do I find this guy? And what is the best way to tame him?
You can use a crossbow and trang arrows to knock it out because while I'm writing this I'm waiting for my ankylosaurus to tame
On crystal isles they spawn from across the river from the red forest, near to the swamp and up toward the plains. This is the easiest area to tame them in, but watch for raptors, Yuti, Allos and even Argies.
