Ankylos are not useless even in the wild. If you're being chased by a carnivore, run to them. They are very strong depending on its level. And they usually spawn on groups, which means they can kill anything easily.
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.
these guys are good metal harvesters with a metal carrying bonus you can carry 100 metal and it’s only 25 weight these guys are slow tho so pump some levels in to speed lime 210 speed. Up if this was helpful

Sadly the anky does not have the ability to swing at rocks when held by an argy in Ark ultimate mobile edition(though for some reason the doed does have it). But they are still very good for gathering metal and other stuff! One way í do it is bro grabbing the anky with my argy, or just putting it in a cryopod. Then, I go to a metal-rich rock and manually gather the metal. It is still quite the same thing and it will still guarantee a ton of metal. Hope this tip helped!!
This should be able to break stone structures don’t you agree
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
In ark survival evolved the island you can find them on herbivore island 😁 I hope it helped
Not sure if anyone's said this one yet but if you hit the attack to gather berries and immidiatley after hit the other attack button it will gather berries in a full circle around it. Quickly maxes you out on berries by far the best way to gather berries/cactus sap
He is very strong, but he is very slow, and he can also break Big Rocks and metal deposits, it is better to use him not as an attacking dino, but as a miner who will help you mine metal.
Just back up with a lot of rocks and with at least 4 different slingshots (of taming a level 95-155) and start shooting at it that's what I do
There was a island on the island south east of the main island I called it anky island because it was the first spot I saw an anky
To tame need mejoberries prob spelt that wrong lol but you need that and either crossbow with tranq arrows or longneck rifle with tranq darts and I would bring about 10-15 narcotics I hope this helps plz like
Tip:-Increasing the meele damage will increase the metal harvest rate
On mobile, it wont gather automatically like the Deod does. You have to strap an anky saddle to gather metal with it unfortunately
Wait wait wait wait he can break stone but not stone walls
I've heard that you aren't supposed to level the melee past 800, because it will 1 shot the rich metal nodes giving you less metal, instead of two hits, which would give you more metal.
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.
Get an argy first then find one of these guys, pick ‘em up, and drop them somewhere safe. Shoot the anky until knocked out and tame. P.S make sure your argy is on passive mode.
Best farmer for metal, has metal reduction and is good with argy
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
To the person who said to transfer metal to a argy with nothing but weight, dont. Anklos reduce the weight of metal so it would be easier to carry the anklo
