always carry more tranqs than needed,these things are unpredictable. also just run backwards and hit them and they knock out.
In mobile it’s usually found in the red peak area while in pc it’s rare on mountains but there’s a bunch in herbivore island
Ok listen to me you should not tame one of these unless you have an argy of any other flyer greater than or equal to and argy. To tame one of these just fly around on your flyer and try to find a level that you desire. Once you find a good anky shoot it a couple times with a crossbow and it should go down you shouldn't need a trap. After you knock it out in a safe area get berries from nearby bushes and tame it.
For the mid-game players [ARK MOBILE] slightly teetering towards the noob side, specifically if you have already reached Level 35 and up, I highly recommend flying/swimming to Herbivore Island (it is on the SouthEast side of the map {I’m not good with coordinates but it’s at around 82,84}. It’s separated by a chunk of land infiltrated by the Megalodon (so you need to either have a strong swimmer Dino or a flier). You can tame it there safely as there are NO LAND PREDATORS, just don’t aggro the herbivores by accident. Once you tame it, just fly or swim back to your base and Request the Dino and it will teleport to you. Easy! This advice is for people who are still intimidated by taming due to aggressive predators ALWAYS near the Anky in the mainland. For Bonus Points: Sometimes Mantas killed by the Megalodon will end up on shore so free fish meat! I hope this helps someone, have a great day!
They spawn On the island in the winter biome on the beach
People say that make ankys wave there tails to attract females. What would happen if one got to close? The’d be launched half way across the map cause they wanted to investigate!
Tame one anky on herbivore island and get some metal
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.
Brilliant way to avoid damage is using a net from the harpoon gun, just requires lots of metal and cementing paste , and you can simply use organic poly for the net projectile itself . Once netted it can be knocked out at your leisure.
