Everyone knows that these are great for metal but they can also harvest berries very well with the alternate attack button. They are also the best around for harvesting flint, so are great when you’re looking to make a lot of gunpowder.
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.
This is one of the best tames early game, absurd amount of metal and obsidian can be farmed very quickly, also number 1 in 6 categories including flint and metal, also highly rated for crystal
I am posting a neat feature on every creature in ark.
The anky is one of the best metal harvesters and has a huge weight reduction for metal, it also gathers flint really well
Go to herbivore island it has plenty of ankylosauruses there

One of the ways to move a very over weight anky or other dinos that i find helpful is to pick then up with a argy and let the momentum move it forward then drop and repeat.
You can use these guys to clear out forested areas for a base or something
Very good for metal 10/10 would recommend.
I've tamed an anky recently and I found out how efficient it is. Just make sure to lvl up on weight as it stops auto harvesting after its half way through its weight.
So pick this up with argentavis, and make an argentavis follow you, max out boths weight and there u go u have infinite metal, just go volcano and mine it all out, maybe crystal and obsidian too, make sure all the metal or most of it is in anky because of weight reduction…

Melee 480 imprinted, 520 not.
The rest in weight or speed.
this tame is good at gathering oil! take it into a river and harvest the rocks at the bottom!
My favourite gathering tame. Quite slow.
Get an argy to carry one to and from a mountain for lots of metal because anky good for that and argy gets weight reduction
I'm not sure If this is obvious to everyone else but I realised its 100% worth it, not only can they carry soooo much more metal than you, they also don't have durability like your weak little hatchet so you don't have to bring an extra three on your volcano…

Give your anky tons of berries and/or veggie cakes, they totally deserve it!

Metal, Crystal and Flint. Can be carried by Argentavis. Metal got 1/4 weight in it.
You cannot lie this is the best creature of all Time for getting metal. If you need metal tame the Dino.
Always been kinda short on metal. But after I tamed one of these guys. Never-ending! 😂
My Anky Buddy is a tank and great at metal strongly recommend
The Ankylosaurus harvests a lot of metal when hitting a metal rock. Up to 130 on official servers. They can also smash normal rocks (which are everywhere) to get a lot of flint and about half as much stone. This is perfect for making sparkpowder.
It can also be carried by…

It can also be carried by Argentavis (which has a lot of weight), so you can easily transport your Anky to mountains for metal.
