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😁.
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.
It is the only creature that harvests EVERYTHING! Trees, stone, plants, metal. If you want to clear out an area bring an anky.
I’m the guy who made the list of utility tames, I just want to say that I wrote that doedics take increased torpor when they’re in a ball, that was a typo, they take much less torpor.
They're one of best generalist in the game being able to harvest massive amounts of many different resources they're also great combat mounts doing a lot of damage fast attacks and really good health and they're quiet easy to find they're hard to tame tho…
They're one of best generalist in the game being able to harvest massive amounts of many different resources they're also great combat mounts doing a lot of damage fast attacks and really good health and they're quiet easy to find they're hard to tame tho which is downside overall they're one of the best creatures in the game and are far superior to Doedicurus which is a specialist in Sand and Stone.
Grab him with argentav or quetz, if u r not patience enough with their speed. (Dont be dumb like me who travelling from redwood to snow biome for obsidian with only riding this guy) damn.... Im so nub XD
With the recent update Ankylo can hold four times the metal because it weighs less as long as it's in ankylo 's inventory. So 100 metal will weigh 25lbs instead of 100. Also tamed Anky will have more speed than usual. Happy farming ^__^ -Geo
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 ;)
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)!!!
Went to herbivore island in the hopes of taking one and bringing back a couple hundred metal. I ended up leaving with 3,700 metal. Such a good investment, get yourself an ankylo
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…

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
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
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
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.
These creatures are the best for getting metal and other resources you would with a pickaxe.
When they are tamed . And you don’t have metal. Rocks around . Hit river rocks . works for me. Sorry for bad English
Metal is a quarter of its weight in an Ankylo.
The Ankylosaurus is, in my opinion, one of the best dinos to tame as a low level. Not only is it the best dino to gether metal, it is also a great taming mount, because it can collect berries and can kill little things like Raptors easy. This will be one of your most used dinos…

Not only is it the best dino to gether metal, it is also a great taming mount, because it can collect berries and can kill little things like Raptors easy. This will be one of your most used dinos when you get into the higher levels and taming an Anky as soon as you can make the saddle (lvl 40) is highly recommended.
If you wanna kill one get a pike or a few spears, stab it in the head while walking backwards then after a few seconds boom it's killed
