What are tips for ankylosaurus? Tips and strategies for ankylosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
My base is near to lava cave one day I go to collect metal I found there are 3 ankys I shooked I tame 2 level anky his health is 700 I think when I make his saddle I break a simple rock I get 34 metals In my mind the anky is a alive pickaxe
Knocking it out and letting it starve then wake back up and tranq again. 0 narcotics and 1 tamed anky
For this guy I reccomend having an argy with lots of weight the two are an amazing pair and with the argy you can carry the anky to a safe location (such as an abandoned cave) so you don't have to worry about protecting it. On official I went through 20 narcotics and a few stacks of narcoberries on a lvl 50 so be prepared to wait a long time but in the end a 50% weight reduction on metal will be worth
You can knock one with a slingshot. I tamed one on extinction with a slingshot and it didn’t do much damage to it
Very easy to tame. It's very slow and can be knocked out with a slingshot. So it makes it a creature that can be tamed on a low level. Just put some mejoberries and some narcoberries (or Narcotics if you are high enough level) just in case.
Decent swimmer, i’d say it has the same speed with a parasaur while swimming, super slow on land though, also to the person who said 220% melee is best for anky, can you inform me if 462% melee is ok because it had that much melee when i tamed it, it was a lvl 150 anky before taming, 225 when i tamed it
U can use a slingshot to tame it its that easy it was my first tame i tamed it at level 12 u dont need no trap or nothing
If your on SE use boomerang very easy to knock out an anky
Not sure if it is just me but I have killed 2 ankys in a row trying to knock out with crossbow. I suggest darts
Where do I find this guy? And what is the best way to tame him?
You can use a crossbow and trang arrows to knock it out because while I'm writing this I'm waiting for my ankylosaurus to tame
On crystal isles they spawn from across the river from the red forest, near to the swamp and up toward the plains. This is the easiest area to tame them in, but watch for raptors, Yuti, Allos and even Argies.
Haven't been able to pick ankys with Crystal Wyverns. Might just be bugged
I got on my argy valkery and went to snow biombe picked good level brang it home and tamed it name:spike
Some times i kill lvl 150 ankys im stped
When taming on herbivore island I recommend using a small pen, because when Ankys start running they go straight for water.
