What are tips for ankylosaurus? Tips and strategies for ankylosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Put the anklylosaurus and quetzal on the volcano to get lots of metal and obsidian (and crystals if you need them). To get the most goods out of a metal run pick the ankylo up with the quetzal and then just swing. The anklylo will get encumbered really quickly but the quetz won't so get more goods. Also I believe there is a way to get all the metal in one run without the quetzal gaining weight but it requires a platform saddle on the quetzal. If you did it right picking up and dropping the anklylo will put it on a ceiling and you can fly with it without picking it up. I think I know the way but I can't explain how it is done in words. If you did this with a player you won't get as much metal and you have to stop afterwards cause you won't collect anymore when hitting the rock. And a anklylo alone would take longer to get the same amount of metal and it will take awhile to get all of it to base(for me and people who has there home far from the volcano)
Exactly 2hrs. Lv. 25 ankylo. Tossed in, 1500 mejoberries, used narcotic and narcoberries. (Just kept meter full entire time). I wouldn't try the stimberry trick mentioned above,unless you don't care about the bonus.
Don't believe the narcotics or tranq arrows needed. It has taken me more than 30 over the amount DoDoDex recommended.
Regular kibble in this guide doesn’t work.. bug ?
I see one utility that say if you don't have argy or quetzel then tame near your base i suggest first tame high level if high level spawn near you base that's great but if there's a lot of way then
1. Go to base
2. Go to inventory
3. Go to Your stats and check tames
4. And request anky
He will transport to your base
It's that simple no argy no qutzel
Good players already know this thing
Use shocking darts it's stronger an takes less to knock em out
Go to herbivore island. Take a few tranq arrows and berries. Ez
You can back peddle faster than they can sprint allowing you to shoot them while being chased.
Metal ore only weigh a quarter inside an ankylo, great alone but even better paired with a quetzal farm saddle build.
After the weight reduction for Metal in the anky,it's a great Dino and more useful alone.for beginners Pump wheight and Run to a mountain farm a Bit and Run Back,for the mid to Ende game Players melee only and with a high weight quetz
It's amazing hier much Metal you can get
Pump in pure melee don't waste time with weight let the quetz take the weight you'll be doing 6-8 k per trip
Takes a long time to starve, so be prepared if you're in a dangerous area
The 22 kibble thing for a 150 is wrong or something. I left one with 22 kib and even gave it five extra narcotic. When I got on this morning it desspawned overnight or woke up or something.
Leveling up its melee does not increase the amount of metal you obtain unfortunately. However it does make it easier to break the rocks.
