ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies

Stronger than they look. I kept getting killed by a couple of ravagers(yes, they were low level, but still)and I finally managed to escape them and get a lvl 12 iguandadon( I know, a crap lvl, but it was all I could find. And then once I got a saddle for it, I hopped on, and immediately saw the ravagers coming at me. I thought, “Bye Iguandadon. See you in the afterlife” but then he started hitting and he killed them with ease. He was a lvl 12 and he was hitting for 175 dps. Not even a boosted server! If you’re on aberration, they are a necessity.
More Iguanodon Utility Tips
The iguanodon can do way more than just harvesting. It has a cool ability to turn berries into seeds by holding E to the wheel and click Convert to seeds. It also has an ability to preserve seeds longer while in its inventory. It runs pretty fast and has basically infinite stamina on all fours, making it both a great early game and mid game beast.
A must tame, why?
It's easy. Bola, tranq arrows and berries.
Best travel mount: Unlimited stamina and you can improve movement speed. Pump 10 levels into speed and this thing zooms everywhere!
Fairly tanky: It can take a beating meaning better survival chance but also good for taming aggressive creatures.
You can shoot while riding: Making taming safer and easier. Anything tries to run away they have no chance.
Berry Gathering: Good for taming or just eating.
Seeding: Good for starting a small farm of your choice.
They can fight back, fending off Dilos, raptors, even Baryonx and Sarcos.
They can jump: Good for clearing obsticals but also getting on high rocks as a vantage point to tranq out creatures such as Carnos.
They're fast swimmers: Not something you want to take in the ocean but fast enough to cross small lakes and rivers and fast enough to outrun Jellyfish. Mine can outswim a Megeladon lol.
Kibble: They're eggs make decwnt kibble which in turn can help tame decent mounts.
Basically they're awesome!
