What is a ankylosaurus used for? ankylosaurus battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
Ankylosaurus are some of the best metal gatherers, and they also have severe metal ore weight reduction, so that 256 metal can only weigh 68.00 kilograms instead of the full 256 kilograms. If you make a forge-centered base on Herbivore Island in The Island Map, in the far south-east, the metal there respawns often, and an ankylosaurus can get up to at least 108 metal per swing.! Bring a high-weight creature as a pack mule along with you as well, though, as the weight will stack up eventually.!
The Ankylosaurus is, in my opinion, one of the best dinos to tame as a low level. Not only is it the best dino to gether metal, it is also a great taming mount, because it can collect berries and can kill little things like Raptors easy. This will be one of your most used dinos when you get into the higher levels and taming an Anky as soon as you can make the saddle (lvl 40) is highly recommended.
