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
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.

Shooting it in the shell does not reduce damage or torpor inflicted
I haven't tamed one yet cuz of the allos and purlovias.

Tame it at lvl 25 realize u can’t ride until lvl 36
THEY ARE OP THEY CAN KILL ANYTHING
These guys are strong I need to only upgrade melle ONLY MELLE 👌🏻👌🏻
Pump this up if u agree !!!!
It dose not up the metal if u up the meal damage
Great for gathering metal even on beach rocks. Pretty slow though. Level up speed and weight.
Me and my best guy knocked out a 150 with a slingshot. We were lvl 6
Dododex needs an update, they can damage stone structures now
An all around good tame. Good for mining almost anything and even gets berries at a good rate. I like to carry it with a art or quetz. Low levels are pretty easy to knock out, about 12 to 19 tranq arrows for a lvl 40
They absolutely destroy metal but cant even damage stone structures. They should make these for good raid dinos
Force-feeding Narc Berries DOESN’T WORK
Use trap and longnek and trnq dart
If u have.....
Trap it after making it sleep and don't go farther it move somewhere else if you go farther and you can't find it.
My first one was disappeared after knocked when I go to get taming food but next time I checked other one it was in different place and taming is going on.
Taming these guys is very easy, just use a slingshot! If your very brave, you could just try kiting it but,
Ankys should be able to break bones of any Dino and human ( Except for Dino’s with huge ahh bones ) and they should bleed and it takes days or even years for an dino to recover its injury ( for example if a lvl 100 anky breaks a lvl 1 spino leg it should recover its leg in 50…
Ankys should be able to break bones of any Dino and human ( Except for Dino’s with huge ahh bones ) and they should bleed and it takes days or even years for an dino to recover its injury ( for example if a lvl 100 anky breaks a lvl 1 spino leg it should recover its leg in 50 ark days or more it might even have a chance to kill them! ) like for wild Dinos and ankys they should have a 50% of bleeding that lasts for 5 seconds and they should disable there ability to run untill its leg recovers and for tamed it should have 25% - 60% of blood loss from one swing! ( Like it shouldn’t happen fast it should have a animation of it spinning and jabbing it’s tail spike inside any wild or tamed dinos and the dinos should limp around untill it’s recovered ) For tamed ankys they should deal like 50% of bleed damage after doing that to anything alive!! ( expect for aquatic dinos like mosa or anything ) and after doing that to any Dino it should be 30% easier to kinda tame but it will suck because the bone that the anky broke will stay unless it’s fully recovered.
Wild Ankylosaurus cant be carryed by argy ,but tamed can
Hope this helps
