What is a iguanodon used for? iguanodon battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
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
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
I saw someone questioning why it says it's great at collecting Biotoxin and for anyone confused if you use this guy to harvest those weird red mushrooms that make you hallucinate in Aberration it's a good way to get bio toxin super early in game and get rid of those annoying mushrooms
