After a successful mate, the X-Ankylosaurus lays a fertilized egg.Incubation temperature must stay between 16°C and 20°C - use Air Conditioners, Standing Torches, or Dimetrodons to maintain the range.At the correct temperature, the egg hatches in approximately 2 hours and 37 minutes.

After hatching or birth, the baby X-Ankylosaurus matures requiring significant patience, reaching adulthood in about 2 days at 1x maturation.Hand-feeding is required until 10% maturation.After that, a Feeding Trough handles the rest.

Mutations can add +2 levels to any stat and change colors.Stacking mutations across generations is the key to min-maxed breeding lines.Use the breeding calculator to plan food requirements, incubation timers, and maturation phases.

Raising a baby X-Ankylosaurus involves three maturation phases: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~292 min and requires constant hand-feeding.Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~19h - it can eat from a Trough now.Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~24h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.

Imprinting during maturation provides permanent stat bonuses.At 100% imprint, the X-Ankylosaurus gains 30% bonus damage and resistance when ridden by the imprinter.You'll be asked to cuddle, walk, or feed specific kibble at regular intervals during maturation.

Planning a mass raise?The X-Ankylosaurus raising calculator breaks down food needs per phase so nothing goes to waste.The Baby phase (0–10%) takes ~292 minutes and is the most hands-on, requiring direct feeding or a Maewing.

Raising multiple X-Ankylosaurus simultaneously?Set the dino count and the calculator scales food requirements automatically.Match your food choice to your play schedule - longer spoil timers mean less babysitting.

ARK: Survival Ascended features the X-Ankylosaurus as a tamable, herbivore creature that survivors will encounter in the wild.Classified under the Variant group.

At 700 base HP, the X-Ankylosaurus is impressively tough.Its base Melee Damage sits at 100%, giving it solid damage output.With 175 base Stamina, the X-Ankylosaurus has decent staying power.A base Weight of 250 means generous inventory space.

To tame the X-Ankylosaurus, you need to knock it unconscious using torpor weapons, then feed it while it's down.For best results, use Regular Kibble - it gives the highest taming efficiency.

As a tame, the X-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.Killing a wild X-Ankylosaurus yields 6 base XP.It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0.93 Element plus 0.01 Element per level.
