Tips & Strategies

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.
More Iguanodon Utility Tips
The iguanodonโs seed ability is awesome! Just put a berry into the iguanodonโs inventory, and tap the screen. And a seed will pop up in the iguanodonโs inventory! Pls like so the noobs can see this.
Upgrade weight and speed, you'll have yourself one badass hybrid parasaur gallimimus thing for an early game metal run.
Iguanadons are super slept on for their utility outside of making seeds. They hardly consume stamina when running on all fours, you can use your hotbar while riding them, and they're forever giving you moral support with their permanently fixed thumbs up ๐
Iguanodon is a very useful dino. Its strong, fast, have a lot of stamina, can jump really high, can collect a ton of berries, can turn it to seeds, when u need, and poop for u big eggs. :D A must-have creature in the game.
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!
this is a very strange dino. First it turns any berries in its inventory into seeds. Next it has the ability to change from attack mode to "super speed need no stam" and that's all.
It is like a parasaur, but better. It can jump and attack in one mode, then runs super fast with unlimited stam in the other.
Press C to 'roar' and press RightClick + Sprint to enter a sprint mode, where the Iguanadon seems to go a bit faster and doesn't drain stamin. Press RightClick again to exit sprint mode
THE PARASAUR YOU NEVER USED JUST GOT REPLACED
These things are just parasaurs but BEASTS they are very fast do some ok dmg they are good for carrying things and the saddle is only lvl 30 so they are in my opinion one of the best early- mid game tames 10/10 would reccomend
