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.
Dunkys are better but theese can go on land dunkys still better got 1k obsidian in 1 bite
Use dilo kibble it takes about 3.
You can teleport you dinos in ark mobile so I suggest to do that after you put it in a safe area (tp to bass)
You don’t need a magmasaurus to harvest metal! Just these things!
Get and argie and one of theese dudes and your set for metal
Siri right amount of food for the dinosaur
Excellent for gathering Metal and Flint.
If short on rare flowers go to a bunch of bushes and spam alt fire for a decent amount of stacks.
Hating him is what you should be doing if you’re building something his the bast to halp
I fed it mejos to tame and it wouldn’t stop eating and tamed almost 30 secs after knockout
At around level 50 it is a war machine against dinos, just make sure it has atleast 3.5k health and it can kill an alpha raptor, even if you die 10 times in the process. This was not fun but was amazed when it won the battle
The Anky can smash a boulder with one or two whacks with its bony tail.
The doedicurus does a better job at harvesting obsidian, but I play the mobile so I don’t know about the console or the pc. But I have harvested between twenty and thirty obsidian from one Rock, where as the ankylo only gave me ten to twenty.
pair it with an argentavis to mine metal, crystal and obsidian.
Let the eagle carry stone crystal and ankylosaurus the metal. They are perfect buddies for each other.
This has to be one of the best harvesting Dino’s every due to the fact that it gathers metal, flint and obsidian at high rates and from my experience in gathers the more narco berries per bush then a stego or bronto the only down side is it’s quite slow
Do they do anything on wander?
It is very easy to tame and it is necessary. Very slow creature, can be simply tamed with a crossbow and running when it gets closer
Best metal collecter. Awesome for metal structures and tools. Get an argy, bring the anky with, get metal and other mats, put some on argy, put metal on anky. Get home with your loot.
He gets tons of metal, flint, obsidian, ambergris, and be sure to pair with a flyer or else it’s gonna be a long walk home
