IIRC my friend and I used about 20 tranq arrows to drop a lvl 27, If you can make the arrows, just grab a full stack. Remember to wait 5 seconds between each shot to max the Torpor and Minimise the Damage.

Using a regular bow, probably only about 20-30. Aim for the head and it should be less.

Wait about 5 seconds between shots. If you miss you may need a few more. If you have a choice, use first person to shoot, improves aim of arrows.

Edit: Also have plenty of time. That will be about a 3 hour tame with just berries. Helps much to have Dilo kibble.

For low level taming especially against slow targets I recommend a good old slingshot. Later on tranq arrows are a must, but usually early on its difficult to amass enough narcos to produce sufficient amounts of tranq arrows AND narcotics for the tame itself. If you (or your tribe) have plenty of tranqs then go that route but I was able to drop and with some effort tame a lvl96 scorpion at lvl21 using a slingshot. Granted taming a scorpion once its unconcious is much faster than even a low level anklyo but the knocking out part is what we are discussing anyways.

Anklyos are very low to the ground like scorps but don't climb well so you can probably stand on a steep rock and plink away at it with out too much effort or get it caught up in some trees. No matter what you use, go for the head! (Except on argents and pteras, dont shoot those in the head....)

Good advice standing on a rock. Ankylos also move slow so kiting is fairly easy. Same with the new doed.
