Use the calculator results to plan your tame - they show the exact time, food quantity, and bonus levels for the Aberrant Ankylosaurus based on your settings.

The table below shows how many hits from each torpor weapon are needed to knock out the Aberrant Ankylosaurus at different levels. Always pace your shots. Torpor takes time to apply, and over-shooting can be lethal.

To simplify the knockout, immobilize the Aberrant Ankylosaurus first with Chain Bola or Bear Trap. A Argentavis can also pick it up and drop it into a taming pen for a controlled knockout.

The table shows how many sedatives you'll need to keep the Aberrant Ankylosaurus unconscious through the full taming duration. Bio Toxin is twice as potent as Narcotics (80 vs 40 Torpor per use), while Narcoberries work in a pinch at just 7.5 Torpor each. At 0.3 Torpor drain per second, apply narcotics proactively - a wakeup mid-tame wastes everything.

Track the taming process with the timers below - they monitor both Torpor and starvation progress. The torpor timer alerts you when narcotics are needed. The starve timer tracks Food depletion for starve-taming, where you let the food bar drop before placing all food at once.

ARK: Survival Ascended features the Aberrant Ankylosaurus as a tamable, herbivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. It belongs to the Variant category.

Its base Stamina of 175 gives it decent staying power. Its base Melee Damage sits at 106%, giving it solid damage output. Starting at 672 Health, it's quite durable. It carries 250 base Weight - a solid weight pool.

To tame the Aberrant Ankylosaurus, you need to knock it unconscious using torpor weapons, then feed it while it's down. Feed it Regular Kibble for the fastest tame and highest effectiveness bonus.

After taming, the Aberrant Ankylosaurus earns its keep through resource gathering, making tedious farming runs much faster. Breeding produces fertilized eggs that hatch within a 16°C–20°C temperature window. Defeating one in the wild grants 6 base XP. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.93 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
