Ankylosaurus is a herbivorous dinosaur that will greatly support your adventures, as it can help you gather items with its tail. Now, we will show you how to find and tame the Ankylosaurus in Ark Survival Ascended. Fortunately, to tame it, you can use the usual stun method, which won’t take long. Finding the dinosaur is a more complicated challenge, as it’s not spread across the map, so follow the instructions to make it go smoothly.
Ark Survival Ascended: Where to Find The Ankylosaurus
This type of dinosaur isn’t common, but there are still several locations where you can find it. Considering that it is a herbivorous dinosaur, there is a 100% chance that you will find it on Herbivore Island. You can also find Ankylosaurus in the northern half of the island, in most cases near the foot of The Red Peak mountain.
Ankylosaurus usually move in groups, but you can still find them quite often alone. These individuals are not aggressive and will not attack you unless you do it first. Nevertheless, if you get into a fight with Ankylosaurus, be careful because the dinosaur has thick skin, which serves as good armor against almost any weapon. If you want to tame it, there may be some complications, but don’t worry. We will help you deal with it.
Ark Survival Ascended: How to Tame Ankylosaurus
So, when you finally find the Ankylosaurus you want to tame, the first step is to prepare the food you should feed it to influence the taming process. Considering that Ankylosaurus is a herbivorous dinosaur, the best foods for it are fruits and plants, such as:
- Soybean
- Regular Kibble
- Fresh Wheat
- Dried Wheat
- Berries
- Barley
After collecting the necessary resources, you can start the taming process. In this case, the taming method is identical to most other dinosaurs, all you need to do is stun the target to make it unconscious. Given that Ankylosaurus is heavily armored, you may need several blows to the head, so prepare for the possibility that it may attack, but don’t overdo it to avoid killing it. Here are the tools you can use:
- Bow
- Club
- Crossbow
- Harpoon Launcher
- Long-neck Rifle
- Slingshot
Once the target is unconscious, approach it and open its inventory to put food inside. After a while, the food will be ingested, and the tame meter will increase. It’s worth noting that you may need to leave the dinosaur unconscious a few times if you haven’t fed it enough. Eventually, when you do everything right, you can tame Ankylosaurus and use it for your own purposes.
Ark: Survival Ascended is available on PC and will be released on PlayStation and Xbox consoles.
