What are tips for iguanodon? Tips and strategies for iguanodon in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
WITH escaping why is movement speed "useless?" I love upgrading it cause I can escape easily from most Dinos!
A Iguanodon is easy to tame all you need to do is bola them and knock it out with arrows, or a club. And give it meoberries to tame it.
The iguanodon can take no fall damage when you fall down a cliff, making it easier to ensure proper safety. They can collect berries and extract seeds from them for your crop plots. They can also collect a plethora of thatch and a decent number of wood. Really great beginners mount.
An Iguanodon is practically perfect when needing a farm. You can collect Crops and Berries, put them in the Iguanodons inventory, and hit “Tap to seed berries”. Doing so, the Iguanodon will change all of the crops and berries in its inventory into seeds. Perfect for needing lots of seeds but not being able to find any!
These guys are a pain to tame even if your level 100 you have to aim with your gun quickly in order to hit it with a tranq AND the Dino will keep on poking you with its claws until it's knocked out
If you’re new to the game don’t even TRY taming a para, these guys are just as easy to tame as paras and 10x better. They have infinite stamina in galloping mode and harvest plants like a BEAST, they’re decently fast, decently strong, and have very good weight (low level iguanodons have bad stats, but higher level ones have insanely good weight and health) I don’t even use paras anymore, literally the only thing that Para does better than iguanodon is swim
My tip is if your not using this for packing then put 5 points into attack and 5 into health and you have a perfect taming dino for beginners it still has uses once your done riding it, it turns stuff into seeds. It's also really easy to tame. AND IF YOU DARE PUT STAMINA POINTS INTO THIS GUY DONT because he has unlimited stamina while on four legs.
I have a BLUE! One named indigo who is my best travel friend. I used her to tame my spino hemlock. I take her every time I go out on a long expedition along with hemlock, delta (my raptor) and firecracker (watch camp Cretaceous or ask Siri to know what that one is ;) ) we are unstoppable. Indigo can outrun almost anyone, delta is fierce and always is ready for offense or defense, Hemlock is the attacker that can take down TWO high level tickle chickens at once, and good old Firecracker always has our back when we get in a pinch. #Team iggys

Best bola it than knock out feed mejoberrys
This starter can kill trikes and has unlimited Stam and when you put berry in them and then tap the screen on mobile you will have seeds. You can also bola it so you can tame it with a club or if your a man a slingshot.
Upgrade speed and weight, and you have the perfect travel / gathering mount.
Upgrade health and attack, and you have a hadrosaur warlord. (I’ve taken down rexes with my lvl 127 combat iguanodon, trust me, iguanodons make better combat mounts than you probably think)
I use my speed/weight iguanodon for quick metal runs, and use my health/attack iguanodon for doing things in dangerous places like the swamps. Kapros can still knock you off of iguanodons but they move so quickly that it’s not much of an issue.
