What is a ankylosaurus used for? ankylosaurus utility tips and strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
One of the best tames in the game. It is an excellent work dino, it can harvest almost any resource especially metal,obsidian,flint,crystal. It can also be a powerful war dino, put points into HP and Melee Damage, it's aoe attack can be devastating to medium/small dinos. The ankylosaurus' only downside is it's speed. I'm an ank fanboy to say the least.
Idk but it says Anky's can't destroy stone but I've seen during a countr raid my Anky was a stowaway on their boat (with me n my Tera) and I was getting ready to jump in front of the boat while it was driving but they were stopped and I was guarding my Anky bc it was hammering on their doorframe and the Anky destroyed it! I'm so confused about that ever since, was it a glitch or something but after it broke in RIP 125 Anky he got us a lot of ascended gear~marineparkkid, Xbox one ark no life
The ankylo is a slow mount, when you are a low lvl survivor, try to build a penn near a resource location. If u are slightly higher and have obtained a quetzal or wyvern(scorched earth) u can transport the ankylo to the iron veins quite easily. If u want even more effiency try refining the metal on the harvesting location, or try putting forges on a quetz platform saddle and a ramp to get up with the ankylo. Use thatch as fuel for the forges as wood will leave extra weight after burning(charcoal).
Ankys can be used to farm unlimited metal, crystal obs etc. It takes 2 players. On in a quetz with a platform saddle and a ramp on the front. the other flying the quetz. Just scoop the anky with a player riding it and hit away. For some reason the ankys weight from the inventory doesn't count so the quetz can fly you across the map. If you fall off the quetz just scoops you back up!
So these guys are the absolute KINGS when it comes to gathering metal, not only do they gather it in the hundreds from every metal rock, they also make it weigh a sixth of what it normally would when they carry it(45 pounds in a stack of 300) so with a leveled weight and melee damage stat they can gather and carry an ungodly amount of metal for you, oh and you hardly have to worry about them dying to anything short of an alpha or giga, they can have thousands of health and do a fair bit of damage with that club tail
