Encountering Tips

How do I kill a ankylosaurus? ankylosaurus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
If being chased run to them cuz they can kill carnos in the wild😮😮
The Ankylosaurus will not attack you in the wild unless you attack first. When battling you can run away quite easily, just be aware, they have high health, so if you plan to kill one make sure you have enough stamina and resources to kill them.
Around mountains and in the southern areas, in general pretty common
Axe, Spear, Crossbow, Pike etc you cab kill these things with basically eneything -Big Bill
Tame one, lvl up health, stam, speed and damage as high as possible then go destroy rock golems and gather rare resources. Best dino for it. Tamed 3 and destroyed a golem in 3 whacks of their tails. Happy Hunting.
one of these buggers killed my iguanodon, Speckles. I flickin loved that iguanodon. so I did what any sane and reasonable person would do and stole its wife. she's treated like a queen now.

Make sure to not get behind them, you will get slapped with a club that is spiked!
Herbivore island is a good place to find them…around the beach area
I have one with 7,430 health.they are not going to kill you in the wild. And they’res a giganthapethicus right next to my one I should kill it
Dude whenever I see these I don’t have tranqs or a raptor pulls a nope jump.
I mostly find in snowy place do tri ting tame
On the fjord map the place that I saw them the most was the volcano island
Dont go near them if they are in a pack and you have low level Dinos that are stupid enough to attack them. Rip my 2 Iguanodons, my Dimorphodon and my new Scorpio >-<
If you tame one far away from your base just cryo it to save time and life force for your flyer.
Note this down there is a herbivore island on the island map and mobile they spawn like crazy there you can find your high levelled anky if there’s no ankys kill all parasaurs and phiomias wait a while tada you have ankys
THEY ARE OP THEY CAN KILL ANYTHING
If looking for anky go to herbivore Island bottom right corner of map there's an abundance there
If using this dino for pvp combat please do not use the R2/RT attack spam the L2/LT attack and prey they don’t have masses of health while moving forward to attack them. DONT use the big attack as that wastes time and gives them an opening for attack like I did.
Up if this helped at all.
PS it is useful for taming high health dinos because if the Dino attacks you whack it until it until it runs away.
Don’t shoot it in the head, It takes reduced torpor from headshots cause of armor, go for the legs cause I’ve seen that it takes more torpor that way
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.
