Tips & Strategies
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 when you get into the higher levels and taming an Anky as soon as you can make the saddle (lvl 40) is highly recommended.
Ankylosaurus are some of the best metal gatherers, and they also have severe metal ore weight reduction, so that 256 metal can only weigh 68.00 kilograms instead of the full 256 kilograms. If you make a forge-centered base on Herbivore Island in The Island Map, in the far south-east, the metal there respawns often, and an ankylosaurus can get up to at least 108 metal per swing.! Bring a high-weight creature as a pack mule along with you as well, though, as the weight will stack up eventually.!
Slow mobility makes this dino a sitting duck. Keep a little distance and you shouldn't have a problem. Crossbow preferred.

These guys aren’t the fastest walkers but man in the water they are super fast I learnt if you use the attack ability while in the water it makes you go slightly faster
I recommend starving the anky first if it’s a high lvl( you can do that for low lvls too) up so noobs can see
one of these buggers killed my iguanodon, Speckles. I flickin loved that iguanodon. so I did what any sane and reasonable person would do and stole its wife. she's treated like a queen now.
They collect so much metal but move so slow. 100x better with a argy.
Speaking of Argentavis how do you tame one?
Most efficient way of taming one.
Find a good level ≥ Trap it (just to be safe) ≥ Knock it out ≥ Place spikes for protection ≥ Fully Starve it ≥ do other things while waiting for it to starve ≥ Chuck narco berries if torpor gets low to slowly increase torpor giving more time for it to starve ≥ once fully starved feed it ≥ watch it insta tame.
Who ever said they are slow DAMN 500 speed wild ANKY CHARGING ME
