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.
for begginers:its pretty easy to tame even without tranq arrows and stuff get a wooden shield,and a bat then hit it 2-3 times and block with your shield and when it’s knocked out you just feed the mejoberries and don’t forget the narcotics too
If your new get a pt then get a bow and tranqs shoot it from your pt
In My single player can spwan near by my house plese ...in ARK
I'm not sure why but I only take like 10-15 damage from these. No armor and 230 HP.
Knock it out and tame it it is very spiky
When taming: Keep distance they have good AOE damage area. You can out run with out Movement speed boost. Only trap that works is large bear traps. When knocking out doesn’t matter where you hit them they have no multipliers for head or armor. They can only damage wood or…

Once you have have a high level one, they make a great taming aid: you can fire tranq darts while riding this mount, and it'll tank all the damage. I once put out 6 member pack of raptors while riding this animal.same with the first Rex I tamed.
When you eat too many Frosted Flakes and you know it.
How do you collect clay with him?
You can either find them in islands/redwoods
Or find them on ark maps hehehehehe
If you set it to wander it gathers flint, metal and stone then comes back to you right before it gets encumbered, so they autofarm flint, metal and stone basically
The Ankylosaurus is the most versatile mount in the game. Once you get an anky, gathering resources will become infinitely easier. Get an anky early, as they are easy to knock out and tame - my brother and I used slingshots. Once your anky is at 1000-1200 health, pump your…
The Ankylosaurus is the most versatile mount in the game. Once you get an anky, gathering resources will become infinitely easier. Get an anky early, as they are easy to knock out and tame - my brother and I used slingshots. Once your anky is at 1000-1200 health, pump your levels into melee damage, and soon enough you'll be ripping through metal and obsidian nodes like a hot knife through butter.
The more Melee damage an Ankylo has, the less hits it will take to mine a certain material. For example; A low meele damage Ankylo might have to hit a regular metal rock 3 times before completely mining it. To where a high level meele damage Ankylo would only have to hit a…

For example; A low meele damage Ankylo might have to hit a regular metal rock 3 times before completely mining it. To where a high level meele damage Ankylo would only have to hit a regular metal rock once to completely mine it. Highly recommended to upgrade 'Weight' and 'Weight' (Also a little movement speed of you can)
ANKYLOS GATHER OBISIDIAN BETTER THAN MANTIS
There is a new mod where u can put a platform saddle on it, I live on my anky and I put all points into health, speed and stamina, I never have to go on a metal run again
Before taming it make sure to tame a Argentavis, anky is really slow.
They collect more flint than metal. They are VERY STUPIDLY SLOW. But, they are the creatures that collect metal the most. They pack a very powerful punch. They are shields.
You can use a slingshot to nock it out around 50 stone
