ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies

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.

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!
