If you keep thinking "oooooh my ascendant metal pick is better than an ankylo" brother just hit a target dummy with both see what's better
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.
More melee is always better, but be aware that when you break around 540-560% melee you can only hit the rich noses of metal once, you lose a lot of metal that way. Keep pumping melee past that though and you more than make up for it with how much metal you get from the lower…

I was hunting stuff with my Sarco on Herbivore Island waiting for my twin Rexes to get ready for more imprinting. I was using the Target whistle and I whistled for my Sarco to attack a Brontosaurus. Long story short, the Ankylosaurus I keep there for metal mining heard the…
I was hunting stuff with my Sarco on Herbivore Island waiting for my twin Rexes to get ready for more imprinting. I was using the Target whistle and I whistled for my Sarco to attack a Brontosaurus. Long story short, the Ankylosaurus I keep there for metal mining heard the whistle and started to attack the Brontosaurus. The Sarco is very capable of killing Brontos, but it couldn’t kill the Brontosaurus in time to save the Ankylosaurus. One up = one F in the chat for my Ankylosaurus that served me for about 200 days
One word. METAL. This guy can easily gather tons of it.
They collect while being held by a flyer ( I use Argie) so you don’t technically need to craft a saddle. Just fly near metal rocks and it will smack it automatically (same goes for doedicurus)
Both the anky and doed will attack faster in the water. Flint and stone along the river is an easy way to go about it.
These guys are useful no matter what point in the game your in, also they are great at hitting those annoying flying creatures you can never hit like onyx
The work horse of the game helped me bring in the industial age 😊
Great for metal. You don't actually need the saddle to go on a mining expedition. As far as I know it only works for the metal concentrated rocks with gold veins on them (can be found on mountains mostly), but you can whistle move them (with the green arrow) towards the…
Great for metal. You don't actually need the saddle to go on a mining expedition. As far as I know it only works for the metal concentrated rocks with gold veins on them (can be found on mountains mostly), but you can whistle move them (with the green arrow) towards the rock and they auto-harvest. Game can be finicky and not have the anky do it if it decides the metal is in a weird spot, but a great way to get lots of metal for early metal items before you can unlock the saddle.
Not sure how many people know this and before you needed someone to help with this but in ascended at least you can pick up your anky with an argy and if you stop the anky close enough to the metal rock it will hit it on it's own... you only need to land to dump the…

bro i getting my first anky by starving it and then i checked if it could get berries(it is level 20) on a jungle fern.bro it got 3 rockarrots in one swing of its fat a**cheeks.
So I tamed one of these guys and took him to the grand hills where there are lots of metal. To save the time of going back and forth from my base located at the western coast I tamed at least five pteranodons and leveled them up increasing their weight capacity. And I've…
So I tamed one of these guys and took him to the grand hills where there are lots of metal. To save the time of going back and forth from my base located at the western coast I tamed at least five pteranodons and leveled them up increasing their weight capacity. And I've been using them to transport metal,obsidian,crystals,etc that me and m anky collects. I used pteranodons to transport them by air which is a lot safer in my opinion. I've been playing ark for almost 2 weeks now btw.
Ankys are oddly fast in the water on mobile do with that as you will
Everyone talks about metal farming with them but they are also the only tame that gets both flint and stone from regular rocks. A pick does that too but ankys can defend themselves better then u and ur pick lol. Oh and can farm faster. Use one for metal but let them hit some…
Everyone talks about metal farming with them but they are also the only tame that gets both flint and stone from regular rocks. A pick does that too but ankys can defend themselves better then u and ur pick lol. Oh and can farm faster. Use one for metal but let them hit some normal rocks so you can become the sparkpowder lord
A very simple knock out tame just pelt with arrows! It's slow and won't catch up, feed any berries or regular kibble.
A must tame for metal, obsidian, crystal and flint gathering.
To the quetz and argy guys. Tame a karkinos and farm on ab best way hands down
These guys are good all around. They can do good damage and are good resource collectors. The only downside is that they are very slow.
If your on mobile, set your anky to wander, ride an argy then carry the anky, go to nearby metal deposits and watch as it does the work for you
If you carry your ankylo with a Arge, next to the metal deposit, the ankylo will harvest it without having to drop and get on the ankylo yourself.
Great for flint, metal and cactus sap as well. A must have in Scorched Earth
