Utility Tips
What is a iguanodon used for? iguanodon battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
They have a LOT of food capacity you barely have to feed them at great utility Dino CRAZY FAST, unlimited stamina, the previously mentioned food rate and their pretty decent attack on smaller dinos from about Compy to Raptor at base stats, make this guy (or girl) useful for everything! Did I mention they are great for agriculture they strip seeds out of berries great for planting! 4.5/5 tame also it looks great!!!
Arguably the best first tame. Why?
- The saddle allows rider weaponry. Run away from something while shooting tranqs at it.
- Can convert berries into seeds.
- Has a four legged mode with infinite stamina. Pump points into movement speed, you'll get a 2% increase each point.
- Collects berries seeds and thatch.
- Easy tame, bola it then shoot in the face with tranq items.
If you want to be a farmer definitely tame this creature it's just like a parilimmus (mix of parasaur and galliminus) and has infinite stamina replace your gallii and parasaur with this guy best kibble maker cause you need crops to make kibble and this guy is great for getting crops and turns them to seeds I have a narcotics store in my server and I have this guy and a rex for spoiling meat and some freinds and we have over 15000 narcotics and we exchange technology like TEK,gasoline,and guns we exchange 1000 narcotics for 5 items if you are in multiplayer and have this guy open your first narco store
So I tamed an iguanodon fairly early on in my current play of the game. I always level health high and then speed. I started to realize just how fast she was and how tanky she got. I started leveling damage and weight. As of now I can easily tank rex attacks and beat alpha carnos. I haven’t found an alpha rex yet but I’m hunting. I can also run the entire map in half the time an argentavis can fly it. I’m starting to level oxygen so that we can just ruin anything and everything. If you take the time and level them really well, I think they could be giga killers but at least really good at traveling especially given the smaller size compared to most tanks. The fact that they don’t have to use stamina, and are faster if they don’t, is definitely a plus. Combine that with the fact that they have a very vertical jump and you can scale the steepest of mountains in a few minutes.
TLDR: take your time and level them right and you’ll have one of the best mounts in the game for traveling or otherwise.
Personally I really like this Dino its really easy to get cause I didn't even need a bow if you hit them from the right angle from the Bola they can't attack you so you can just use a bat and I went through the entire red forest and the mountains with it tamed two argies and a baryonx so really good for early game and if you level enough you can two hit a spino
So, I've been playing less and less recently, and I figured that Genesis 1 would get me back in since I have the crutch of hexagons, but I have found it to be a bit difficult to start out, especially since the Bog is unwelcoming and Ocean only has base resources.
I suggest you tame one up for Bog exploration, it will increase your travel speed and survivability.
