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.
In his inventory metal weighs a quarter of the real weight
Who ever said they are slow DAMN 500 speed wild ANKY CHARGING ME
This guy is LITERALLY the most overpowered metal gatherer on at LEAST, The Island! He is just great! I used to use a system where I carried this guy up the mountain I used, using an argemtavis and it worked great. I could carry the guy to the tippy top and have him smashing…
This guy is LITERALLY the most overpowered metal gatherer on at LEAST, The Island! He is just great! I used to use a system where I carried this guy up the mountain I used, using an argemtavis and it worked great. I could carry the guy to the tippy top and have him smashing away at the great metal spots on top there.
They collect so much metal but move so slow. 100x better with a argy.
Speaking of Argentavis how do you tame one?
Crossbow 50 tranqs or more and yeah that’s all
Transport advice:
Get an argy with decent weight and stamina. It has an ability that allows it to carry the anky (Yes, it still counts the weight the ankys carrying to its weight)
THE ANKY HAS 85% WEIGHT REDUCTION ON METAL AND NOTHING ELSE. Make sure stuff like obsidian…

THE ANKY HAS 85% WEIGHT REDUCTION ON METAL AND NOTHING ELSE. Make sure stuff like obsidian, stone, and crystal are loaded onto the argy because it has a 50% weight reduction on those.

Guide on Ankylosaurs (only for the island):
So, you are among the many survivors that seek to tame the herbivorous dinosaur Ankylosaurus (I’m calling it anky). Because this would probably be a major turning point in your survival experience, you should probably prepare.
First off, the anky is found in the many mountainous terrain in the island. There, it coexists with many dangerous carnivores like the Trex, raptor, and allosaurus. The anky defends itself with its club tail, using it to deal a deadly blow. But, the anky can also be found in the peaceful HERBIVORE ISLAND, which is an islet at the Southeast Tip of the island. There, ankys are abundant and there are no carnivores.
To tame the anky, check the area around it and clear any unwanted animals. You don’t want a Rex to get a double dish! The anky is very slow. Just walk backwards and shoot it with TRANQUILIZING AMMO which can be unlocked at lvl 21 (tranq arrows).
The anky has many uses:
Carries tons of metal. Also harvests a lot with its tail.
Defends base.
Is a cool Dino!!!
Next tip on Rex
Go to herbivore island so that your tame is not disrupted
Be careful with there eggs cuz they are very sensitive to the heat. I suggest doing it in the arctic with torches. Took me so long to figure it out
I've seen 3 high level ones wack and yeeeted a 450 rex into the sea near tundra.It's a shame cause I was saving argy eggs for that guy.So in fruststation,I tamed all three of those ankys.
They spawn in mountainous areas and in the snowy regions but you'll probably end up taming one at herbivore island so here's how to tame:
Get a crossbow and tranq arrows, shoot it while backpedaling until it's knocked out, then feed it berries while watching its…

Best Dino's for metal, oil and crystal!!!! I love it! Try for the highest level possible you will love it
I just encountered an anky I thought to tame it because at that time I oonly had Dodos and dilophosaurus.so I decided to try to tame it but no suddenly an carno came and killed. Now I'm thinking to tame the carno.(This the first time writing)
It makes no sense that an anky cant damage stone...

You would mainly use these to harvest metal and stuff, however the wild ones are a great source of keratin if you need some in a pinch 😈
✅You can take it with an Argentavis
They’re common on herbivore island ( the south east one) and in the tundra.
Baby Ankylosaurus stay unconscious from cryosickness for 25 minutes.
