The spikes on it's back stick out from under the saddle, but you can ride it. Unlike a kentrosaurus. Well...
To know them out just keep walking back and shooting them with darts or arrows then put berries if you have high tame rates or if you have no kibble and if you have kibble then use it same goes for x-ankylo just make sure not to get hit and to bring lots of arrows because they have increased health damage and torpor
It takes me 2 days RL to fin A LEVEL 100
Shoot it in the head with tranq darts/arrows and run around it in circles
Ankylos are pretty easy to tame. They only take a while to tame but their torpor doesn't go down quick so it's not too hard to tame one... Just knock them out while walking backwards (no trap needed) and once knocked out I highly suggest covering with spike walls. Metal is best but wood does fine it will protect the anky from attacks and make it easier to spot, just leave a gap so that you can access it's inventory. It gathers berries OK, not as good as the trike due to its slow movement speed but works in a pinch if they're not around. Anky's have crap weight but since metal weighs less in them it's not too bad. I just chuck the stone and flint I get since I can get that from smashing normal stones later if I need them. Getting an argent is recommended. I plan on getting more anky's. One with melee damage, others with weight to carry mire metal back to base since mine is in a mountain... Overall they're an upgraded pick that collects berries not meat...
Warning X-Anky takes more darts to drop a 100 took me 60 shots on x2 single player
always carry more tranqs than needed,these things are unpredictable. also just run backwards and hit them and they knock out.
Go to herbivore Island if your starting the game or if your seeking shelter and want one. Here's what to do 1. Make tranquilizer arrows or darts
2. Find one
3. start shoting it
4. Don't stop until it's on conscious
5. Put food into it's inventory
6. Wait till it wakes up
7. It's yours to keep
8. do it all again with the attacking one
9. Get as much metal as you want
