Weaknesses & counter tips

Worked out from its stats

  • Low torpor — easy to knock out; a few tranq hits will subdue it.

Aberrant Ankylosaurus — Detailed Guide

The Aberrant Ankylosaurus is the glowing Aberration version of the Ankylosaurus, the armored tail-swinger that farms Metal, Crystal and Obsidian. On Aberration it fills the same ore-gathering role as the base creature.

Where to find it

Aberration only, in both ASA and ASE. It is fairly uncommon there, so expect to search for one.

Taming

A knockout tame and a herbivore. It is docile until attacked, but it hits hard and has a lot of health, so knock it out from a distance. Feed it crops, berries or herbivore kibble.

Breeding

  • Egg: needs 16 to 20 °C.
  • Growth: a baby matures in about 2 days at 1x.

Uses

Metal, Crystal, Obsidian, Flint and Stone farming with its tail swing.

Tips

It is slow and carries little. Empty its inventory often, and move it between nodes on a carrier creature when you can.
