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:)
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.
On map fjordur you can find X-ankylosaurs on volcano island and they look way cooler than the normal ones.
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."
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 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!
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
This Dino gets a weight reduction on 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.…
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!!
The anky is very good for getting metal
Melee and Weight is the way to go....
He can harvest a lot of metal. That’s it.
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. : |
This bad boy is an easy tame and can farm metal like a boss you need this
If you need to get around the map with your anky, but don’t yet have the coveted argy, stick to the waterways. Swimming is faster than sprinting, or you can put it on a raft.
With 2 players u can pick up your anky with your argentavis and gather metal quick without walking
