What are tips for ankylosaurus? Tips and strategies for ankylosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
They are incredibly slow and you can easily outrun them even with default movement speed. In fact you can walk backwards and still outrun them, so backtrack and pelt them with your tranq of choice. If scorched earth use boomerangs, when they fall use kibble or Mejo berries. Some narcotics might be required depending on their level.
Very easy tame for any level
They are good limestone/clay/metal collectors move faster in water.
I would reccomend getting dilos asap for eggs and a pack of 4-5 med-high levelswill be great for base defense early on in the game. Once you get enough dilo kibble for a decent level ankyo then go for it. The ankylo is a must have if you plan on advancing to metal gear.
For a lvl 20 female i use 5 tranq arrows and a crossbow
On the fjord map the place that I saw them the most was the volcano island
tame a argentavis find a ankylo pick it up bring it back to your house were its safe and tranq it out, never tame sum to close to danger cause they usually spawn in the red woods or moubtains... GIGA!!!!
Once knocked out, keeping it down will be the least of your problems if you taming in the wild. I suggest to build a primitive trap with stone foundations and pillars. Get an argy and pick one up with right click. Drop it off in the trap and keep a distance - it will fight back, and it will hurt. Once down in the trap, it will very unlikely to wake up before it will be tamed. Good luck.
These guys helps me to get more metal and then I can craft more weapons and ingots

Go to herbivore island. Take a few tranq arrows and berries. Ez
When taming a lvl 300, I was able to do it successfully with a 450 scorpion. Just sting it twice, then run away for 20 seconds. Repeat
