Tame this along with an argy fastest way to do a metal run ever
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.

1. Ankylosaurus are herbivores so you will need to gather berries crops or kibble for them to eat. I would recommend kibble, since it is quick and gives good effectiveness, and is a relatively low tier, however if you are unable to make kibble, and have crops on hand those will work too. If you absolutely need to you can use mejoberries but never use regular berries.
2. To tame an any you will want at least a crossbow with tranq arrows,and a longneck with darts is great. Ankys are very slow and so you will be able to outrun it while shooting. Because of this you won’t need a trap, however you will need to be on pretty even terrain and kill all nearby threats to avoid interruptions. Alternatively you can trap an anky, however if you do choose this method I would recommend picking it up with an argy to trap it in a safe location, because it will be much easier, but if you don’t have one and want to trap it you can
3. Anky torpor doesn’t drop too fast so you shouldn’t need many, if any narcotic (unless you are taming it with mejos) however it is important to either protect it while it is asleep, since they tend to spawn near things that like to eat them, or go far enough away to de render them so that they can’t be attacked.
Happy taming!
You need it if you what to not spend hours farm metal also use a Argy to carry to metal rock for extra metal.
it’s better to carry it with an argentavis instead of transferring all the metal and cryo poding it
Tame this if you haven't bought genesis part 1
Does it collect nodes on wander?
THE BEST CREATURE TO COLLECT OIL IN WATER AND ARE EXTREMELY FAST IN WATER TOO IN ARK MOBILE BUT BE CAREFUL MINE ALMOST DIED BECAUSE OF RUNNING OUT OF OXYGEN AND PUT A LOT OF POINTS IN TO OXYGEN,STAMINA,WEIGHT AND MEELE DAMAGE
Tip: More damage = more metal.
When breeding Ankylosaurus, imprinting is a great investment.
I had a really good pick to I didn’t see the need to use one of these guys until I found out that these guys can hold over there max weight with just harvesting with max weight since putting items in the guys inventory when it’s full doesn’t work this helps I just pick it…
I had a really good pick to I didn’t see the need to use one of these guys until I found out that these guys can hold over there max weight with just harvesting with max weight since putting items in the guys inventory when it’s full doesn’t work this helps I just pick it up with my flyer and go around dropping it on rocks and with the weight reduction the anky has I can carry more up if this was helpful
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…

These guys are super slow so you should be able to walk backwards while hitting its head with your slingshot or tranq arrows until it passes out. They're not super demanding when it comes to food or narcotics, though crops will make it a considerably quicker tame than berries.
The island - the snow area and the redwoods
Aberration - the blue zone
Extinction - sanctuary and the both domes
Ragnarok - the islands on the west side of the map
Idk for the rest
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
They’re very nice for taining put all lvl’s on health eaisily let the dino attack it and shoot tranq arrows/darts.
Some other new tip tranqs the anky but completely forgot to feed it lol
They can hit like a truck at high levels or if You don’t have armor but they are slow so stay at a range and take shots at them.
In ASA you cannot put it on a boat. If getting from herbivore isle use argue with good stamina.

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.
Everyone knows that these are great for metal but they can also harvest berries very well with the alternate attack button. They are also the best around for harvesting flint, so are great when you’re looking to make a lot of gunpowder.
The recommended berry count isnt very accurate, recommended 300 mojo berries i tamed it on 150 with starve taming
