I don’t want to spoil this but they get almost harvest the same amount of metal a master craft metal pick can . Although they do get metal faster and also a metal weight reduction buff by 75%. Can be carried by an arge
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.
The anklo is great at collecting metal and stone so if you are trying to make a stone base I recommend getting an anklo
Very great Dino for gathering metal. Me and my friends use this as an argy and get 3K metal in a couple mins it’s insane!
Regular kibble in this guide doesn’t work.. bug ?
I see one utility that say if you don't have argy or quetzel then tame near your base i suggest first tame high level if high level spawn near you base that's great but if there's a lot of way then
1. Go to base
2. Go to inventory

1. Go to base
2. Go to inventory
3. Go to Your stats and check tames
4. And request anky
He will transport to your base
It's that simple no argy no qutzel
Good players already know this thing
After you tame one use a raft to get him across the water unless you have a quetz THEN THIS MESSEGE IS IRRELAVANT
It is quite possible to herd the animal into a taming pen if you have at leasr two tribe members.
You can back peddle faster than they can sprint allowing you to shoot them while being chased.
Metal ore only weigh a quarter inside an ankylo, great alone but even better paired with a quetzal farm saddle build.
After the weight reduction for Metal in the anky,it's a great Dino and more useful alone.for beginners Pump wheight and Run to a mountain farm a Bit and Run Back,for the mid to Ende game Players melee only and with a high weight quetz
It's amazing hier much Metal you can get
They cant gather sand so dont do what i did on scorched earth
In my experience they collect more crystal than a pick. On mobile 🙂
If you do metal farm solo, just lvl up attack and use a whip. And ofc pic ur anky up with an Argentavis. UP!
Ankys can knock you back a far distance so make sure your safe when fighting them yourself or with smaller creatures
I once encountered an Anky that had the colors of a sunset
If u find a level 3 which should have 700 health u need a slingshot and 70 stone find one and keep shooting with the slingshot in the face and when it runs away come after it and and just keep shooting it until it’s unconscious and there u have a ankylo
I’m on mobile ark and have two of these tamed. They seem to pick up way more flint and metal than stone. Not sure if that’s the same on other gaming devices.
First, pick one up with a flying dino to bring it away from its herd. Then you can just keep shooting at it while walking backwards, they’re really slow so as long as you keep your distance you should be fine.
Keep shooting at its head with tranqs, it shouldn’t take too…

Keep shooting at its head with tranqs, it shouldn’t take too many arrows/bullets to knock it, but for my level 100 it took about 40 arrows with a compound bow.
Happy taming!
Warning, if your ever goning to tame an anky, you might want to find one that is alone. I tried to tame one around like 3 others and got chased into a pack of Raptors. Yeah.... I'm not very good at taming things. But if you do want to do that, just get another friend and…
Warning, if your ever goning to tame an anky, you might want to find one that is alone. I tried to tame one around like 3 others and got chased into a pack of Raptors. Yeah.... I'm not very good at taming things. But if you do want to do that, just get another friend and have you and them shoot at the ankys one after another so that they get confused. You can also use a moth to make them slow down and just sit up on a rock and shoot them with a couple of tranq arrows.
Leveling up its melee does not increase the amount of metal you obtain unfortunately. However it does make it easier to break the rocks.
