ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion

Tips & Strategies

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.

Absolute MUST HAVE, okay?! These things can be beasts if you know what to upgrade, and have a very high level. They are pretty fast (way faster than parasaurs) and they have two speeds (a trot and a sprint). They are veryyyyy easy to tame, such great starter herbivore. GET YOURSELF AN IGUANADON TODAY (all in my opinion btww)

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!
