These guys are great mid-level tames. You knock them out like most other creatures and shove food up their face. They make great stone, metal, or flint harvesters but I though about this while taming one today. What If there was a setting that they would harvest any nearby mineral/rock, AND you could chose what they harvest. For example, you go to options, see a setting button that says “ Harvest setting “ and click on it. Once you open that up, you can choose what you want your tame to harvest. Metal, stone, flint etc. it goes around hitting rocks and ONLY collecting stone, like you wanted it to. Have a great day!

The ankylosaurus is a tank of a creature and has damage reduction on all parts of the body. They have weight reduction on metal but not ingots and can gather a lot of metal, stone , and crystals

Great metal heads and crystal harvesting but do not use them for oil! A metal pick is best. The resourse menu for oil is wrong with the Anky

700% melee and you can easily get 100 metal out of a normal node on 1x, its insanely strong! Took mine with an 88 armor saddle into bear cave and massacred the entire place with its bite attack. Theyre great:)

anky’s are really good when u have an argy too, all u gotta do is pick ur ankylo up and fly to a volcano or something, use ur anky to get metal, crystal and obsidian or whatever, then fly him back to ur base!

The fact that it harvests not only metal, but almost all other plant and natural resources (except fiber) makes it one of the most valuable tames. If paired with an argy, the two are the key to limitless potential.

On Ragnarok, go to canyon and get your industrial forge setup there. Bridge the entire area up and get a couple ankys and use em to gather metal and burn it all up. Can produce heavy amounts if done efficiently though takes time to get the metal to make the forges.

These creatures are amazing for farming metal so you might want to make a pen near a mountain with metal nodes. You also might want to either upgrade weight a lot or get an argentavis with a lot of weight to carry it!

Just like a turtle you can ride it without a saddle. "It is great about its utility," says I am the SURVIVOR, master of the blue obelisk. "But my brain is thinking about the better choice--leaving them in the wild."

This Dino gets a weight reduction on metal

The best way to farm metal INDISPUTABLY is with an anky and a karkinos. The karkinos can throw the anky to different metal nodes, regardless of the weight of the anky, meaning that you can get up to 300 stacks in one metal run!

Simplesmente um dos melhores se não o melhor farmador de metal do game. Dome um do maior nível possível e upe ele todo em dano para pegar maiores quantidades de metal com cada ataque. Quanto ao peso não se preocupe, use uma Argentavis para ele até os veios e seja feliz com seu Farm de metal.

Thylaceo is the best mountain climbing animal (for omever said they are the best) I play with my brother on the island I got a dire Bear and he got a thylaceo I may be a bit faster but he can climb up walls for (Pete sake) I'm not mad just a fact check trust me on this

The anky is very good for getting metal

Ankylos are pretty easy to tame. They only take a while to tame but their torpor doesn't go down quick so it's not too hard to tame one... Just knock them out while walking backwards (no trap needed) and once knocked out I highly suggest covering with spike walls. Metal is best but wood does fine it will protect the anky from attacks and make it easier to spot, just leave a gap so that you can access it's inventory. It gathers berries OK, not as good as the trike due to its slow movement speed but works in a pinch if they're not around. Anky's have crap weight but since metal weighs less in them it's not too bad. I just chuck the stone and flint I get since I can get that from smashing normal stones later if I need them. Getting an argent is recommended. I plan on getting more anky's. One with melee damage, others with weight to carry mire metal back to base since mine is in a mountain... Overall they're an upgraded pick that collects berries not meat...

Raising the ankys melee will increase it's farming capabilities significantly. I Recommend getting a higher lvl anky.

guys gotta say this is the best gathering dino gather metal 1/4 the wait plus get an argi with it harvest metal and obsidian argi halves the wait for those best tandem

Super recommended but it's land speed sucks but still the BEST!!

Tame an argy and an ankylo. Pick him with argy and move him to volcano top. And u will never have to worry about iron. : |

Melee and Weight is the way to go....

With 2 players u can pick up your anky with your argentavis and gather metal quick without walking
