Next to them being the best metal ore miners of the Ark galaxy, I found them pretty good at mining obsidian too. I would take them the to the Arctic center on Gen for example and harvest both resources at once with one smooth chop of its tail.

These dudes are all over herbivore island (where I live) and I have like 15 of these guys all max level and every once in a while I take one to fight alphas. It works very well

Dude so does no one realize this thing gives you like 50 thatch a tree

Anky’s are the best Dino’s to farm metal and other things. You can also make a mega combo by getting on an Argy, carry the Anky, ask a tribe mate to do the same thing and BOOM more metal. Mega metal run!

P.S beware of Titanos dancing on the mountain. ;)

Powerful and a Tank, if you are lowlevel will be a great defensive tool.

It's Really important for bases Because it can Actually fight a Rex in a 1v1

i know most people are talking about how much metal it gets, which is fair. it does get a lot. but I'm gonna talk about the opposite. it's damage. it actually has pretty good damage! 50 at base. (12 less than a rex!) potentially viable for boss fights.

thanks for my presentation

They now gather metal automatically when directly next to one. Use and argentavis to hold it and hover it over metal nodes for easy metal gathering. -E

Collecting: wood=thatch. Fiber<berries. Metal>flint=stone. (Won’t harvest bodies)

Argy + anky = metal grinding strat

For places where there is most metal, look for waterfalls with GOLDEN rocks underneath, behind or around it and mine them with the anky guaranteed better odds than normal rocks. The second place is rocks with gold streaks in them, they also have better odds than normal rocks but are hard to see at night.

Up if this helped you.

very useful for collecting metal and flint, however if you are looking for an animal to collect stone, tame a doedicurus that are great for that. both are great animals and easy to tame. you will definitely want to have them in your base

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

It’s very easy to tame a bunch of these fast and make a anklo army I have 52 #lag

Good for metal harvest if looking for something with carrying lots of metal and can harvest a lot of flint also increase damage and speed these can be good if they have high damage

You can shoot with any weapon on a anky

Use to lure dinosuchus to steal eggs to tame ur own

Have you ever dived for oil stones with an Anky?

Give a try

These things literally swim faster than they run… and they’re not very good swimmers… so if you plan on using one to collect metal, carry it with an argy or something otherwise it’ll take you forever to get to the mountain and back, plus if you run into a giga then there’s no way for you to escape without losing you anky
