Herbivore island is a good place to find them…around the beach area

Metal only weighs 0.25 kg in an ankylo instead of 1 kg.

You cannot lie this is the best creature of all Time for getting metal. If you need metal tame the Dino.

These guys are good all around. They can do good damage and are good resource collectors. The only downside is that they are very slow.

If you need to get metal while being a low level or not having a anky mine river rocks it has a bigger chance of getting metal than rocks

The Anky is the M-1 Abrams of the Cretaceous. It’s tough as hell, and packs a punch with that tail. They can take out a TRex pretty easy. However they really shine as Metal miners. Anky reduces the weight of carrier Metal to 15% normal weight. So a stake of 300 will only weigh 45 on an Anky. So never transfer Metal off your Anky until you are putting it in the forge. Also, conventional wisdom says pump lots of damage. This is wrong. Don’t go beyond 220% or so. It kills the nodes to quickly and you actually lose Metal ore that way. Take a few more whacks and get about 600 per big node instead of just 300. When leveling friend Anky, focus 220 Damage, over 10k health, and the rest in weight. A low level Anky is always better than no Anky, so if you get a low one, get it to 220 damage, 600 weight and the rest in health (until 10k) and leftover in weight. These dinos are essential to the survival and success of any Survivor or Tribe!

Ankys are much faster in water than on land and are able to tank most of the megladons right off the edge of the shore

Great for flint, metal and cactus sap as well. A must have in Scorched Earth

These are not normally in safe areas so before you try to knock it out check your surroundings

So a lvl 30 anky can fight and alpha raptor! Mine has killed 3 due to it hitting hard and knocking them back, the raptors can't hit them! Ankylosaurs aren't just for metal, but they are also for alpha raptor killing machines! These things are my favorite herbivore because of this.

The Ankylosaurus harvests a lot of metal when hitting a metal rock. Up to 130 on official servers. They can also smash normal rocks (which are everywhere) to get a lot of flint and about half as much stone. This is perfect for making sparkpowder.

It can also be carried by Argentavis (which has a lot of weight), so you can easily transport your Anky to mountains for metal.

Ankys are my best metal collector but you need to upgrade the weight

Necessary tame

#1 Metal miner unless ur on genisis cuz magmasaurs

It can be carried by argy, reducing weight for metal cuz argy has -50% while this guy has a wopping -85% weight reduction, plus its faster than riding normally

Gathers immerusable amounts of flint

Knocking it out is so easy, But most people aim for the body with tranq arrows/darts which slows down on the knocking out process. So instead aim for the head, it can speed up tue progress faster, I already tested this and it works.

Ankys are not a Dino that is going to go after you unless you hit them first and even if they are after you outrunning them is literally the easiest thing in the world, you almost walk faster than their run so you literally don’t need a brain to escape them, now in terms of killing them, I mean it’s not very difficult at all honestly, they’re pretty tanky sure but their attacks are slow have almost no range and generally won’t hit you unless you let them.

They’re very nice for taining put all lvl’s on health eaisily let the dino attack it and shoot tranq arrows/darts.

How to tame an Ankylosaurus:

1. Ankylos are slow, so you can knock it out while walking, or build a small structure using stone to tame it more safely.

2. When you find an ankylo, start shooting it with a tranquilizing ammo, like tranq arrows or certain darts.

3. Keep shooting until it's knocked out. After it's knocked out, feed it berries, veggies, or a preferred kibble.

Hope this helped! Bye!

I live by herbivore island and I took my raft to it and I found a lot of ankylosaurus

In genesis you can find them in the snow biom

The best spot got high levels is in the volcano biom

This is one of the best tames early game, absurd amount of metal and obsidian can be farmed very quickly, also number 1 in 6 categories including flint and metal, also highly rated for crystal
