The Ankylosaurus is a heavily armored herbivore specializing in harvesting metal and other mineral resources. Its durable body and crushing tail make it a sturdy, if slow, defensive mount.

What ARK players use the Ankylosaurus for, and how to get the most out of it in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.

The best way to get metal is tame a few of these guys, then get in a tribe if you dont already have one. Then ask your tribe members to grind with you and you'll get loads of metal! I tested this out too. And make sure you alternate between weight and strength to get the most.
They are very slow but very strong.
They should be able to break stone structures
Quick guide on how to tame these
1.get a bunch of berries
2.knock it out with slingshot
3.feed it berries
4.enjoy
Tip: you can find them at herbivore island very easily.
They are good for metal and flint and they are kind of
cute
If you want to 1 hit KO annoying raptors, sabers and etc. while farming cor resources then this dino is for you
Level melee immediately to get the most materials out of this thing. (°-°)
Have this, u have infinite arrows.
Craazy how it can harvest metal which is stronger than stone but can do nothing to ur metal/stone base.
Great for flint and metal.
It reduces the weight of the metal which makes it hands down the best dino to take on a metal run.
If you tame this your metal problems won’t exist, plus if you set it to auto gather and pick it up with anything that can carry it it will automatically gather metal when you get close enough!
I recommend loving on herbivore island at least early game but at the time I’m writing this I’m lvl 55 and still there anyway these can be tamed with just a slingshot for low levels! Just run while shooting. Mejoberries are good but kibble is better. I have two of these and…

Just run while shooting. Mejoberries are good but kibble is better. I have two of these and I level weight so I can carry more metal at a time so hit metal rocks and boom at least 80 metal per hit! 100s of metal after this!
These guys are underrated they can get the most metal and can get the most berries
The anky is a great start and end game tame. They are great for metal ofc but also obsidian and cyrstsal. They are also quite good at collecting berries. They just have so many uses early and late game.
Use a weight crab with an anky in each claw. Way better than the anky quetz combo.
Pump the sh*t out of weight and damage
Having 2 friends on these while you ride a karkinos is very affective! Have your friends spam mb1 and just pick them up and toss them towards metal! This way you dont need to worry about carry weight and you can get two full body bags easy.Works best in abberation.
Argys can pick these up. This may be a well known thing but my friends and i have gone through our entire lives not knowing this until today
Great for collecting keratin bones and metal at the surface entrances on abberation.
