Utility Tips

What is a iguanodon used for? iguanodon battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
My tip is if your not using this for packing then put 5 points into attack and 5 into health and you have a perfect taming dino for beginners it still has uses once your done riding it, it turns stuff into seeds. It's also really easy to tame. AND IF YOU DARE PUT STAMINA POINTS INTO THIS GUY DONT because he has unlimited stamina while on four legs.
An Iguanodon is practically perfect when needing a farm. You can collect Crops and Berries, put them in the Iguanodons inventory, and hit “Tap to seed berries”. Doing so, the Iguanodon will change all of the crops and berries in its inventory into seeds. Perfect for needing lots of seeds but not being able to find any!
I have a BLUE! One named indigo who is my best travel friend. I used her to tame my spino hemlock. I take her every time I go out on a long expedition along with hemlock, delta (my raptor) and firecracker (watch camp Cretaceous or ask Siri to know what that one is ;) ) we are unstoppable. Indigo can outrun almost anyone, delta is fierce and always is ready for offense or defense, Hemlock is the attacker that can take down TWO high level tickle chickens at once, and good old Firecracker always has our back when we get in a pinch. #Team iggys

Upgrade speed and weight, and you have the perfect travel / gathering mount.
Upgrade health and attack, and you have a hadrosaur warlord. (I’ve taken down rexes with my lvl 127 combat iguanodon, trust me, iguanodons make better combat mounts than you probably think)
I use my speed/weight iguanodon for quick metal runs, and use my health/attack iguanodon for doing things in dangerous places like the swamps. Kapros can still knock you off of iguanodons but they move so quickly that it’s not much of an issue.
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.

The first thing I tame every new spawn. Gathers berries and thatch very quickly and can defend itself better than people think! Put a dimorph on your shoulder for support and even a mid level one of these is good for quick early game carno and below kills. Run into a thatch/wood beach bob. Rip that ish open too. Plus eggs are good for kibble. Just imprinted one on pvp official, 50% maturity as I’m writing this :) Name: Don Juan the Iguanadon

Iguanadons are upgraded paras. They have the ability to transform berries into seeds, extremely fast Stam regen, and the ability to walk and run on two legs. They are great at gathering berries and thatch, can run very fast and drain little stamina. This is a great early game dinosaur, and Is a heavily upgraded Para. It has proven to be very useful in gathering.
I rate this, 6/10, and it is worth getting.
