ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
This dinos are AMAZING
It has two speeds. One of them is very fast and doesn’t lose stamina
It can collect berries very easily and can seed berries very easily (I learned that the hard way when accidentally turned all my berries in seeds)
It has good weight and it’s saddle is unlocked at level 30, just go on a murder spree then boom! iguanodon saddle.
It’s a great traveling Dino and when you get the saddle you can just throw your parasaur out the window cause the iguanodon is better in every way.
It’s also very easy to tame. Just bola beat it’s up with a club then boom! You have your iguanodon.
More Iguanodon Utility Tips
Honestly, I’ll said it before and I’ll say it again, this guy is a parasaur on steroids. Whenever I got out on a resource run I take my iguanadon, Richard, with me because his weight and stamina is insane. He can carry stacks on stacks of stone and wood, and his stamina allows me to get away quickly if a predator agros on me. I recommend upgrading weight, stamina, and movement speed. Seriously one of my favorite early game tames.
A long long time ago my parasaur Jar Jar died by a raptor, and he was my main gatherer and terrestrial travel companion. But then I met RICHARD, the concerningly orange iguanadon. I love him and he’s my favorite tame, even to this day. Trust me when I say if you upgrade their health, movement speed, and melee you’ll have a great battle animal for early game (but I still use Richard late game and he does great :) ).
These Guys are super helpful, Recommend getting one. They are mainly good for travel and melee. For example, my Iguanodon (Orange Popsicle) killed a Rex no problem and was barely damaged. Anyways, They're seeding fruit ability is helpful especially if you have a desert base or something. Their taming is especially easy, Bola and bat. That's pretty much all you need. I definitely like to call these guys my favorite dino.
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!
