What is a iguanodon used for? iguanodon battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
They are great traveling dinos, they have decent weight and they can fend off things like raptors, sabers, and maybe carnos and baryonxs if you level attack. They can turn berries into seeds, one berry=one seed, it's crazy. And they take up absolutely no stamina when they run on their quadruped stance, on all four legs, they only attack on bipedal stance though. Overall, great creature to make long trips, from beginning game to mid game. I suggest leveling speed and health, then weight afterwards. Theres no need for leveling attack if you can outrun pretty everything. Except gigas..........in that case, just stop, put head between your legs, and kiss your a$$ goodbye.
BEST STARTER PET EVER! Whoop whoop! I have a level 33 and he’s AWESOME. For starters they can jump over wooden and stone Dino gates... Great for raids! (Not bethmoth) Also they make seeds! Super fast on four legs. Super easy to bola then knock with a bat. Or fists or yknow. One more thing, There’s AMAZING at getting berries. I got like 500 from about 5 bushes. Mines named diet of air and we go exploring on my raft. GREAT TAME! 👏
Their eggs kibble up. That means they tame on simple kibble and produce eggs for regular kibble. They seed fruit and veggies. That means they convert berries and crops into seeds of the same type. They don't use stamina while on all fours. They can fight while on 2 legs. They are fast. They harvest berries well. One of the best , if not the best multi purpose dinos in the game.
I can’t stress how good these are. If you pump movement for a while they can be great for use in a taming pin they can jump over at least 2 or 3 high walls if in gather mode and run the sprint mode with lvs in movement it can outrun most animals on the island. On top of that later in the game gather berries with it and turn the into seeds for a lighter non-sloiling food source. One seed weights .01and gives 1 food.
This is a great early tame for most survivors. It offers decent weight carrying capacity combined with enough HP to tank raptor and carno damage. It is an above average berry harvester and decent with thatch and wood. You can fire a weapon from its back while mounted. Combining that with its good speed and its special ability (running on all fours uses no stamina) allows early game explorers an easily tameable mount (bola and club) that allows for easy tame escalation.
These guys are one of my favorites. Iguanodons are perfect early-game tames, and can be used for a variety of functions. When running on two legs their stamina does not drain, they are quick, have decent weight, and are more than capable of handling a scuffle with a raptor or two. You can also shoot of their back, and they can jump pretty high. Solid Dino.
This Dino is an amazing starter tame!
-its easy to knock out, just grab a bola, and use a slingshot!
-Its speed is awesome, it can jump high, it doesn’t take massive fall damage and, it has decent health!
-it can hold a lot of stuff such as, berries, thatch, wood, hide, meat and more!
-If your a farmer you’ll need this, it can turn berries into seeds, it can save you from farming for hours for seeds!
-downsides
-They have decent health but they can easily be killed by something larger then a raptor
-its hard to find a high level and there really a pain to deal with.
-you can get attacked from any side with ease, watch out for that.
-they can easily be bolad and tranqed by enemy players.
-there wait is fine, but it’s not enough, someone could be running at you and you accidentally hit a tree and get encumbered.
Well, I hope this was useful! :)
