Idk but it says Anky's can't destroy stone but I've seen during a countr raid my Anky was a stowaway on their boat (with me n my Tera) and I was getting ready to jump in front of the boat while it was driving but they were stopped and I was guarding my Anky bc it was hammering on their doorframe and the Anky destroyed it! I'm so confused about that ever since, was it a glitch or something but after it broke in RIP 125 Anky he got us a lot of ascended gear~marineparkkid, Xbox one ark no life
I think u can knock him down with a lightning wyvern that can help alot.
It is not fun being in the middle a threesome with this Dino and 2 stevia after u steal there egg.
Best is to pump melle and weight in to a quetzal so you can get metale and bring it to base to smelt in the forge
Use it for collecting metal from small stones it collects about 3-9 per 1 stone
This dinosaur has the biggest rate of gathering metal
Convert half your metal to ammo before you leave the mountains.
On taming its saying no need of narcotic while feed its not true i was taming 150 and i had to feed narcotic to keep it unconcious
Once u ko the anky its torpidy goes down slow i suggest a crosbow and tranks 2 take it down
Wild ones will do 1 damage per hit to stone...doesnt seem like much but if you can manage to quetzal in as many as you can find before starting a raid and get them to start atacking those numbers start stacking up...on top of almost being equal to a rex for base damage per hit and not easy to kill because of knockback...most turrets wont be on wilds and with the mate boost they wont die easy
Stand on a rock or high surface so you don't get hit
Cruise the Beaver dams and the center and you should find some. Grab with quetzal and drop it in a pen for an easy tame.
The ankylo is a slow mount, when you are a low lvl survivor, try to build a penn near a resource location. If u are slightly higher and have obtained a quetzal or wyvern(scorched earth) u can transport the ankylo to the iron veins quite easily. If u want even more effiency try refining the metal on the harvesting location, or try putting forges on a quetz platform saddle and a ramp to get up with the ankylo. Use thatch as fuel for the forges as wood will leave extra weight after burning(charcoal).
Ankys can be used to farm unlimited metal, crystal obs etc. It takes 2 players. On in a quetz with a platform saddle and a ramp on the front. the other flying the quetz. Just scoop the anky with a player riding it and hit away. For some reason the ankys weight from the inventory doesn't count so the quetz can fly you across the map. If you fall off the quetz just scoops you back up!
On the fjord map the place that I saw them the most was the volcano island
1. Craft club and tranq arrows
2. Go to Herbivore Island and find a couple
3. Kill most. The others will get mad
4. You can also carry most away with a Large-flier-that-can-carry-most-things or a Tusoteuthis if the group is near a beach
5. Knock one out
6. Put berries in inventory
7. While taming unlock saddle
8. Enjoy your Ankylo
Found one the exact same color as the Dododex pic. Tamed it and named it tank :)
Hit it with slingshot
Or a bow with tranq arrows
In the head only
