Tips & Strategies

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
The Ankylosaurus will not attack you in the wild unless you attack first. When battling you can run away quite easily, just be aware, they have high health, so if you plan to kill one make sure you have enough stamina and resources to kill them.
How to tame a anky!! :O
This Guide applies to The Island only.
First of all, let’s talk about the utilities of a Anky. They are amazing metal gatherers! It also has a weight reduction to metal. So any time you run out of metal, (which for me i run out of metal all the time) use an anky!
Now here is what you need to tame one:
- 10-20 Tranq arrows and a bow/crossbow (varies on the level)
-Berries and/or kibble
A couple notes about taming:
You won’t need any bolas, but if you want you could bring a big bear trap. Even though it’s unnecessary.
Also It’s torpor drops really slowly. So narcotics aren’t usually needed.

Now you maybe be wondering, where do I find this dude? One spot is on herbivore island. It’s way on the right side of the island. On your map it sticks out in the ocean. Another place is the Red Woods. And only go there if you are DESPERATE. It is near the area where the swamps and red woods meet. There are tons of other spots and you can find them on YouTube
Now how do you tame a anky?
Well once you have gathered all of your items you will need need to find your anky, shoot it and walk backward while shooting your tranqs. It won’t take very many tranqs, depending on the level. But then its knocked out! Now feed the berries or kibble of your choice and boom! You have a anky!!
My name is Etheral and my last tip was on the Carno!
you can find them easily at easy area number 3 then get enough levels for raft and go to the small island because that’s where I find a bunch, good luck. please up👆so more people can see this, thank you😁.
You can carry these things with Argentavis, Like so other people can see.
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
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 ;)
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
Around mountains and in the southern areas, in general pretty common
Slow mobility makes this dino a sitting duck. Keep a little distance and you shouldn't have a problem. Crossbow preferred.
