Ankys are my best metal collector but you need to upgrade the weight

I am posting a neat feature on every creature in ark.

The anky is one of the best metal harvesters and has a huge weight reduction for metal, it also gathers flint really well

The island - the snow area and the redwoods

Aberration - the blue zone

Extinction - sanctuary and the both domes

Ragnarok - the islands on the west side of the map

Idk for the rest

I had a really good pick to I didn’t see the need to use one of these guys until I found out that these guys can hold over there max weight with just harvesting with max weight since putting items in the guys inventory when it’s full doesn’t work this helps I just pick it up with my flyer and go around dropping it on rocks and with the weight reduction the anky has I can carry more up if this was helpful

it’s better to carry it with an argentavis instead of transferring all the metal and cryo poding it

In ASA you cannot put it on a boat. If getting from herbivore isle use argue with good stamina.

You need it if you what to not spend hours farm metal also use a Argy to carry to metal rock for extra metal.

Tame this along with an argy fastest way to do a metal run ever

Im level 50 but idk where herbivore island can someone pls point it out where to fins it bc I need these guys

Tame this if you haven't bought genesis part 1

One of the ways to move a very over weight anky or other dinos that i find helpful is to pick then up with a argy and let the momentum move it forward then drop and repeat.

Necessary tame

#1 Metal miner unless ur on genisis cuz magmasaurs

It can be carried by argy, reducing weight for metal cuz argy has -50% while this guy has a wopping -85% weight reduction, plus its faster than riding normally

Gathers immerusable amounts of flint

So a lvl 30 anky can fight and alpha raptor! Mine has killed 3 due to it hitting hard and knocking them back, the raptors can't hit them! Ankylosaurs aren't just for metal, but they are also for alpha raptor killing machines! These things are my favorite herbivore because of this.

They’re very nice for taining put all lvl’s on health eaisily let the dino attack it and shoot tranq arrows/darts.

this tame is good at gathering oil! take it into a river and harvest the rocks at the bottom!

Go to herbivore island it has plenty of ankylosauruses there

Ankys are not a Dino that is going to go after you unless you hit them first and even if they are after you outrunning them is literally the easiest thing in the world, you almost walk faster than their run so you literally don’t need a brain to escape them, now in terms of killing them, I mean it’s not very difficult at all honestly, they’re pretty tanky sure but their attacks are slow have almost no range and generally won’t hit you unless you let them.

You can use these guys to clear out forested areas for a base or something

Always been kinda short on metal. But after I tamed one of these guys. Never-ending! 😂

So pick this up with argentavis, and make an argentavis follow you, max out boths weight and there u go u have infinite metal, just go volcano and mine it all out, maybe crystal and obsidian too, make sure all the metal or most of it is in anky because of weight reduction, obsidian stone and crystals in argentavis.
