Tips & Strategies

I don’t tame em because their saddle is unlock at lvl 30 and I’m not the type of guy that does note runs if ever by the time I unlock their saddle i have access to stegos trikes which while harder to tame I found them to be better at everything except travelling but 8 levels later u get the pteranodon which can avoid all dangers and have comparatively the same taming difficulties except that Pteranodons are everywhere so I rarely tame them unless the xp multiplier is higher than like 6 not saying they are useless just saying that I don’t find them useful to me
More Iguanodon Utility Tips
The iguanodon can do way more than just harvesting. It has a cool ability to turn berries into seeds by holding E to the wheel and click Convert to seeds. It also has an ability to preserve seeds longer while in its inventory. It runs pretty fast and has basically infinite stamina on all fours, making it both a great early game and mid game beast.
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!
