Good for getting chitin, early game
Ankylosaurus
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.
I don’t want to spoil this but they get almost harvest the same amount of metal a master craft metal pick can . Although they do get metal faster and also a metal weight reduction buff by 75%. Can be carried by an arge
The anklo is great at collecting metal and stone so if you are trying to make a stone base I recommend getting an anklo
Very great Dino for gathering metal. Me and my friends use this as an argy and get 3K metal in a couple mins it’s insane!
I see one utility that say if you don't have argy or quetzel then tame near your base i suggest first tame high level if high level spawn near you base that's great but if there's a lot of way then
1. Go to base
2. Go to inventory
3. Go to Your stats and check…

1. Go to base
2. Go to inventory
3. Go to Your stats and check tames
4. And request anky
He will transport to your base
It's that simple no argy no qutzel
Good players already know this thing
They cant gather sand so dont do what i did on scorched earth
In my experience they collect more crystal than a pick. On mobile 🙂
If you do metal farm solo, just lvl up attack and use a whip. And ofc pic ur anky up with an Argentavis. UP!
I’m on mobile ark and have two of these tamed. They seem to pick up way more flint and metal than stone. Not sure if that’s the same on other gaming devices.
Aside from these guys being the GOAT at collecting metal, this guy is VERY slow when riding with a saddle
As of latest tlc update argent can carry anky. Harvest with the anky then put the metal in the bird because the bird halves the weight, then grab your anky and fly back to base. Faster than a quetzal and more early game metal.
Good for gathering Flint and Metal, it also gathers some Stone.
The ankylosaurus can hit multiple players at once if your in a group so spread out and knock it out or kill it
Up if the ably will gather metal from getting carried by an argy. I tried it I don’t think it works
Please
Tame it at lvl 25 realize u can’t ride until lvl 36
These guys are strong I need to only upgrade melle ONLY MELLE 👌🏻👌🏻
Pump this up if u agree !!!!
It dose not up the metal if u up the meal damage
Great for gathering metal even on beach rocks. Pretty slow though. Level up speed and weight.
An all around good tame. Good for mining almost anything and even gets berries at a good rate. I like to carry it with a art or quetz. Low levels are pretty easy to knock out, about 12 to 19 tranq arrows for a lvl 40
They absolutely destroy metal but cant even damage stone structures. They should make these for good raid dinos
