The results below show total taming time, effectiveness, and bonus levels for the Abyssal Ankylosaurus at your selected level and food. Higher-quality foods yield more bonus levels.

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

Below are the narcotic requirements for keeping the Abyssal Ankylosaurus sedated throughout taming. 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. With Torpor draining at 0.3/s, don't wait until the bar is nearly empty to apply narcotics.

The real-time timers below help you monitor Torpor drain and Food depletion during the tame. 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 Abyssal Ankylosaurus as a tamable, herbivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild. It belongs to the Variant category.

Starting at 700 Health, it's quite durable. Its base Melee Damage sits at 100%, giving it respectable melee power. With 175 base Stamina, the Abyssal Ankylosaurus has decent staying power. A base Weight of 250 means generous inventory space.

To tame the Abyssal 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.

Once tamed, the Abyssal 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.
