How do I tame a ankylosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a ankylosaurus.
Heres how to tame this safely 1. Find one 2. Bait it by attacking it 3. Go to a safe place 4. Use your use your crowsbow (and tranqs) 5. Feed it berrys 6. Sleep in a bed 7. Wait a few minutes 8 you got one this is how i tamed my first anky.
Keep a look out for mates if you go to herb kill all the lower ankys untill a higher lv spawns I have tamed a lv 145 on herb starve tame is best method
Easy tame. Just walk backwards and shoot your desired ammo. It won’t catch up to you, just be carful of any debris that you are near, as if you walk into it, the ankylo might land a strike! Once you’ve knocked it out (no headshot multiplier) just feed it some mejoberries and keep a couple narcotics on hand just in case (I don’t normally need any) wait a minute and voila you have your very own metal producing Dino!
This animal is
Easier to knock out with darts or arrows from a higher or hill side or run or sprint on a Dino or pterodactyl
It takes a long time to tame just saying
Great for farming metal get a cross bow/bow wit at least 10 tranq arrows for a low lvl one... And feed it solo kibble after KO.then pump its melee and weight
CAN now bw carried by Argy!! easier to tame
Remember, when using the anky in a mining platform it has a wide range of attack. It doesn't have to be touching the rock to harvest it, only has to be in range. This will help prevent getting knocked off as often.
If you gonna tame one of this fellas don’t go to mountains because you defenetly can’t kill a 250 giga or rex and they will eat the unconscious ankylo, you can go to herbivore island instead where the biggest threat is just a spino nearby or a megalodon but they are pretty easy to avoid unlike a giga or a rex which are constantly hunting, and the ankylo is uncommon in there so just search the island for one, press up if this was helpful :)
Just run backward while shooting with tranqs and just feed berries you will need a bit of bio toxin but just a tedious taming process- I notice many tips don’t apply for mobile so I really need help with surviving the ark
because thayre not fast having about 150 in movement speed means you can kite them easy, easy taming!
Throw it in a 2x2 stone pin with 1 (2 for safe keeping) doorframes all around as walls and use a Argi to pick it up and put it in and use whatever tranq to knock it... If u have no Argi just launch tranqs at it and run away it is not fast so it won't catch up
They prefer mejo berries from everything else.
Nock it and wait until the food drop 3k down so you don’t ruined your taming effect ( ark mobile)
If you’ll want to tame one just have a sling with like 50 rocks, walk backwards shooting Irma head it works every time and make sure you have enough speed or else or clapped
It is really an easy but worth tame. Have a crossbow and some tranqs (have a lot of tranqs incase of emergency). Shoot it in the head not their back. Dnt stand still, look if there are it's part ners or not then walk back and shoot. Eventually they get knocked out. I would recommend a little narcotics and berries bcz they are cheap. Ta daa u tamed it.
Try and knock out an ank with an eq if you have one just k.o a lvl 90 but make sure you have a bit of health on the eq first
To know them out just keep walking back and shooting them with darts or arrows then put berries if you have high tame rates or if you have no kibble and if you have kibble then use it same goes for x-ankylo just make sure not to get hit and to bring lots of arrows because they have increased health damage and torpor
It takes me 2 days RL to fin A LEVEL 100
Shoot it in the head with tranq darts/arrows and run around it in circles
