What ARK players use the Ankylosaurus for, and how to get the most out of it in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.

Just pick your anky up with your argy with good weight and go on a giant metal run -ItsHman2701

Very good at harvisting thousands of metal (BRING AN ARGY TO GET METAL)

They say the metal pick is better than an ankylosaur harvesting the crystal, wrong. I've tested plenty of times to know for a fact that the anky is possibly 3x better (or more) than the metal pick is at harvesting it, use an anky instead!

Ankylosaurus and Argentavis are the true metal men

They good for metal

Metal is good

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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…

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
