ARK: Survival Evolved Companion

Tips & Strategies

One of my favorite dinos. Great for an early game all around mount until you can branch out and invest in several specialist dinos instead of one generalist. He has great speed and infinite stamina when on all fours. He can also defend himself against things like raptors and maybe even a carno depending on the lvls of both dinos. Pro tip: When on his hind legs, he has a much better turning radius.
More Iguanodon Utility Tips
Utility Roles for Iguanodon:
Mount. One of the best mounts in the game. On all fours the have infinite stamina! (level Movement Speed to cover more distance)
Combatant. Due to their infinite stamina, you can use them for a combat mount and make a quick escape if you get low on health. (level Health and Melee damage)
Harvester. You can use them to harvest a lot of berries. They have less weight than the Parasaur but their infinite stamina makes up for it (level weight, Melee Damage, and Movement Speed)
My name is ShinyChimchar01 and if you like my tip, I've done similar on Trike, Raptor, Carbonemys, Lystro, Para, and Moschops. Next one will be on Sarco
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!
1. Iguanodons are fast.
2. They are easy tames.
3. Loses no stam when on all fours.
4. Jumps.
I have no idea why no one talks about their amazing ability to gather berries. If you want rockarrots, or a ton of berries, get the iguanodon. It takes out the bush in 1 swipe, and gives twice the berries you would possibly get with a parasaur. Another thing is, on all fours they outrun direwolves. That is good for leading a wild direwolf into another place. Iguanodons have the ability to change colors a bit at night. I have posted mutiple posts about Iguanodons color changing. Yet no one has posted it yet. I HAD an Iguanodon, but I had to kill it due to a dire wolf. That attempt ended terribly. The direwolf had taken damage because my Iguanodon nearly killed it! So I had to kill it sadly... But Iguanodons color change! She was all brown, and at night changed to blue. Another Iguanodon I saw was orange, but changed to a demon red.... Get an iguanodon. I really recommend it. They just may be a bit hard to find at first.
