Tiny spike
don't leave on mountain top unattended they will disappear.
Here is a great one for collecting. Make a ramp up a quetz and ride it half way to the platform . Use the quetz to walk around and have a friend hit everything in site. The anky will collect far past its weight threshold. This can be sone untill you are ready to head home(hours). You cant move the anky so make a landing area with large amounts of storage boxes and refining forges. ( the weight of the anky wont affect the quetz)
Trap it after making it sleep and don't go farther it move somewhere else if you go farther and you can't find it.
My first one was disappeared after knocked when I go to get taming food but next time I checked other one it was in different place and taming is going on.
To collect metal faster: Call your friend from the tribe. One goes to Argen and another to Anky. Then take the Anky with the Argen and go find metal. Fly near the ore and activate anky's attack in the air to collect the metal. When the Anky has a lot of weight, go to a safe area and pass the metal to the Argen. Repeat until Argen is full.
The ankylosaurs is a good swimmer. Go to any river and swim with it and hit rocks while your swimming it will not stop moving and it collects faster.
They can be carried by Karkinos upvote so this can be changed
Place your anky on a ramp off your quetzal platform and use it to gather metal. The quetzal will not register any of the anky's weight (only if it is on the ramp), so gather as much metal or other materials as you want.
With the new update, quetz ramps can no longer be put on the head, put it on the side or back to use anky tactic
Take 3k stimberrys and give it to the anky or any herbivore feed it to them knocked out and wait for the dino to starve the Dino will feed on the stimberrys and still tame while it's starving after it starves feed mejoberrys or what ever you are using and it should cut the tame in half
Best way to take these guys,
Make a stone base without a roof near your base
Get your argy and grab an anklyo
Bring it back to the stone base
Drop it in
Knock it out with about 60-100 tranq arrows
Feed it some soothing balm and rockocarrots, bam you have an ankylo!
