Head down to herbivore island, I flew around a bit and found one. Make sure you have a raft or argy to bring it back.
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.
They aren’t very fast so you should be good to just run away unless you wanna place a bear trap just in case.
for starters, these are very useful tames for getting metal, flint and stone (like tonnes). There is a saddle, they can be found like anywhere (exept caves and like volcano areas). Try getting them in the head with tranq arrows or darts (darts are better).

In the left of the map they spawn really fast but if you go there be aware because there spawn a lot of dangerous Dino's like Allo or scorpion or even rexes
The best for metal get high damage and bring a quetzal or rg to carry if you can’t get a rg then pump points into weight until you get one then get a new one and pump damage
If on servers have one person sit on the anky and the other fly the rg harvest that way P.S it takes practice to get it done
A rg can Carry a decent amount but a quetzal is much better
Sincerely lonely dodo 🦤
A easy to get hide is to shoot these thing with a bow while running away (easy for beginning of game)
For beginners:
Go to Herbivore Island (off the southeast coast) and tame one there. Take it back to your base on a raft with walls (make sure it doesn't fall off)
Knock’N’Tame: Ep 2: Anky
The high defense, club tailed, herbivorous, ankylosaurus!
Welcome to Ep 2 of Knock’N’Tame! The Anky!
How to tame: defensive… try finding a knockout with high damage. Try low level, when you knock it out, feed it narcoberries, then wait. Boom! You have your own base-crusher!
How to Oof: it’s hard to kill a very armored dino… but if you have a rex or so, you train it! Then you can oof the base-oofers.
Thanks for reading!
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.
Don’t knock it out near any potential danger if you don’t have spikes to place around it I would advise using an army to mov dit to a safer location if you have one
If hunting with a trike, you can kill one easy. But if I’m a group you can loose your trike
These things are tougher than they look
And in the wild they may seem weak, but with a rider than you dead and your mount and your life and your base if it isn’t stone or better
