When used to change berries into seeds, you can feed gacha the seeds instead of stone and it gives the same results ;)

Having them is great as long as they don’t stand up they will never run out of stamina it great i love them

Hey someone back there said iguanodons take forever on mobile I disagree however because I got a lvl 50 (65 after taming) in twenty minutes more or less and it barely feels like that long!! whoever wrote that was not very patient.

Iguanodons can be picked up by Argentavis now.

One of my favorite easy mounts. Went out, tamed and saddled one in less than a game day, picked up 200 metal on the way home. It replaced my raptor for early game travel.

These guys gather SO SO SOOO much narcoberries from just a few hits from a few bushes. I got 100+ narcoberries from just a few bushes.

You can use your weapons on it! In addition to the seeds ability this is another reason why I would recommend the Igu as a starter. This makes it easier for you to hunt other dinos

Rly good for early game. Doesnt spend stamina when running. Also rly good with a seeding ability

(Ark Mobile) If you want to tame one and it’s your first time (that’s what she said) then you better be prepared… for…the…longest…wait…of…your…LIFE! Even when it’s a low level it’ll take a few minutes (10-20 and maybe more). So give it a lot of berries and hope for the best. When you give it berries if you have nothing else to do with you life in the game then you can just stair at it for eternity… but if you want to level up during that time then go on a killing spree of dilos… but once you tame the iguanadon then you have yourself a companion to the end… think of it as a pasaurs + raptor mixed… you can also go out and collect berries and wood but you get a lot more thatch than you will wood… too bad you can’t collect fiber with them. 😢

Just bola them knock it out with a club feed it berries ant there you go now you have a seed machine that can run forever

6 points   🥚 Taming & KO   Mar 10, 2021   Report

DO NOT rely on bolas to catch this one, even if it's not high level. this is not a Parasaur, unless you already have access to tranquilizer arrows you'll need to trap it in order to tame it. they're really fast creatures when fleeing so you're not going to hit the second bola without something to prevent it from running away. i almost failed to catch a level 35 Iguanodon because a single bola wasn't enough to knock it out with a club/slingshot, thankfully it got trapped in a rock and i managed to hit it again with another bola and finish it up with the club. they're great early game tames, basically a Parasaur on steroids, but they spawn in locations that make it hard to tame them. the one i caught was really close to a Rex, lol (i got really lucky, he didn't notice neither me nor the Iguanodon). good luck!

Amazing early/mid-game dino! Best used for carrying supplies or collecting berries. To tame it, all you need is a bola, berries, and something to knock it unconscious (club, slingshot, bow/crossbow w/ tranq arrows, etc.). First, bola your Iguanodon, then knock it out (I recommend to only use club/slingshot with low-leveled Iguanodons). Now feed it berries and some narco berries/green stuff, and you have an improved Parasaur!

The best beginner tame because of it’s infinite stamina while running on all fours

4 points   ⚔️ Encountering   May 9, 2022   Report

Easy to tame and mine has 700+ attack and it tanked a sarco while I was knocking it (the sarco) out. It didn't even bleed awesome for beginners. (It spawns on the other side of lake mountain)

Verry easy To tame with a crossbow and tranq and they eat berry. (They can also defend themself so be carefull)

6 points   🥚 Taming & KO   Feb 4, 2021   Report

Raptors and iguanadons are the best. As soon as you get bola get these two because then meat and hide is easy to get just put them both on attack target and hit big turtles because they give like 16 hide, raptors are better attackers but iguanadon can help with farming just put berry’s in its inventory and it turns them to seeds, get them both

To switch between attack stance or infinite stan stance on mobile, swipe down, to change a fruit into a seed, put a fruit or Berry on your hotbar and click on it near your iguanodon.

Guys i cannot find the iguandon saddle pla help

8 points   🥚 Taming & KO   Oct 26, 2019   Report

Tried taming a level 20 female with the required amount of simple kibble on ps4. Each simple kibble only gave 0.5% progression so I decided to use mejoberries instead.
