ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
Here are reasons that this is an awesome travel Dino.
-1: this thing is good at collecting berries to eat/for taming herbivores.
-2: the iguanodon has infinite stamina when running on four legs.
-3: the iguanodon has very high weight.
-4: the iguanodon can battle anything that is below a raptor in attack.
✌️PEACE OUT CUBSCOUTS✌️
Started on a new server and went through the trike tame to start the utility farming. Next day got an iguanadon and explored how it is used and what it can do. 5 minutes later I retired the trike to the egg farm.
The iguanadon is a great ground transportation, berry farming, small Dino killing, maneuverable and an overall great Dino. Jump off a cliff, no damage. Need to chase something to tranquil it, pull out your weapon and shoot while you ride. IMO level weight and speed and you've got a great utility ride!
Unlike the Parasaur (a similar looking starter dino), these things put up a fight when provoked.
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
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.
Gets rare flowers to the point that they don't feel rare. Infinite stamina in run mode along with a good base weight, along with the ability to use tools on its back makes for an all purpose tame that makes the trike feel completely obsolete, cannot recommend enough.
Iguanodons: all you need to know
(Sorry that it’s so late)
Iguanodons are medium herbivores, capable of being both bipedal and quadrupedal, meaning that they can walk on two or four legs. Iguanodons are actually some of my most favorable tames, as they are extremely fast and have infinite stamina in quadruped form. Making them much better than equi as steeds. They have a unique ability that makes them very valuable to farmers as well; they can pluck the seeds from fruit. This is supper useful, as farmers can take rare crops and give them to a trained iguanodon to seed and plant. Sadly, no matter how hard you train an iguanodon, it will always eat the fruit it seeds. Meaning, in this case, you can not “have your cake, and eat it too.” To tame one of these creatures, you must first incapacitate it some how, as they will quickly run away when they feel like they will lose a fight. After, simply use a club or any other means of knocking and feed it berries. Killing an iguanodon is rather easy if you are equipped fairly decently. Simply use any type of melee weapon or good tame. Just make sure you have enough health to survive. I hope this has helped you. Have a great day!

Really really early in the game, as a brand new noob, I discovered a level 23 iguanodon and looked it up here. The reviews were so good that I immediately resumed the game and beat the snot out of it until it fell asleep, then tamed it with mejoberries. Now it’s my personal rank, named “Iggy.” Nothing has stopped it yet- except a gang of compys and a few giant ants. But the game crashed and when I reloaded it I had iggy back.
They eat berries and is a fairly fast tame but however left unattended it will be killed. These dinos are highly targeted when they are unconscious.
Just bola it and then hit it with tranq in the head or club in the wast. It can still attack with bola though so don’t die.
like so noobs can see
Saw this one near my base on beach and used a bola on it and IT JUST GAVE ME A ✨BOMBASTIC SIDEYE✨👀 I tried to bola it again ofc and It suddenly chase me, my raptors needed to kill it cause its damaging the walls in my base.
You can switch between modes (attack and sprinting)
All you have to do is swipe down and when the iguanadon is on all fours you have unlimited stamina and no need to upgrade stamina just make sure it over 200 but this is not the best fighter but at least you can outrun raptors and most predators on them just swipe down to go on all fours and swipe up to be on attack mode ....
When on attack mode it can jump really high (2 walls or one and a half)
Also if you have some Azul berries or narco berries or any berries in general or any vegetable/fruit in the game and you need seeds just put them in his inventory and it will transform them into seeds alright that's all that I know about thanks for reading😘♥️
I hope that helped out thanks♥️
Just did my first ever metal mission to Herbie island! I ran from spawn to the herbie island channel on my iguanodon, popped in my brand new raft, and started paddling... made it to the island fine, started taming my first anky, and my iguanodon frikkin shows up! This guy SWAM all the way to herbie island past goodness know how many megs and leedsicthys! This animal is such a beast!
This ones are very very good to start at the game
They are not very difficult to tame, just bola, shot it with tranks, trank arrows, or just hit it in the face with a wooden club until it gets knocked out. Then just feed it berries, and wait until it tames.
Congrats, now you have a creature that has infinite stamina, collects tons of berries, and it is a seed-making machine.
Please up this if you found this useful :)
parasaur on steroids: they can run without stamina drain besides if they are in attacking position, collect berries and carrots and seeds amazingly and can deseed stuff, really overpowered if you level melee and hp, and can outrun pretty much anything with enough levels into movement speed. Sorry i wrote so much i got excited •v•
When I was starting the game a saw a iguanadon and wanted to kill it because I needed meat so I ran up to it and poked it with my spear and died, I respawned and saw a rock so I hoped on it and I didn't slip off so I ran up to the iguanadon and poked it again and bolted to the rock and hoped on and started poking, after a while the iguanadon started to run so I hoped of the rock and killed it, the next day I found out that iguanadons have infinite stamina and was so mad at myself for not taming it.
