ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
Absolutely wonderful dino to have when you’re starting out on a new map. Just started Crystal Isles today, caught a high level one and was reminded of how much of a godsend they are. Parasaurs are awesome pack mules and are lifesavers when you have low weight and need to gather a lot of resources. They’re also great for moving around to find better areas for a base but they are a bit slow. They can and will defeat weaker carnivores as well. I had one on the Center that killed a good amount of raptors and a few Carnos and saved my ass plenty of times. The higher level, the better! Very underrated and very useful creature to have. 11/10, a good boi/gurl.
More Parasaur Utility Tips
Utility Roles for Parasaur:
1. Long Range Scout. Paras have naturally high stamina, so they can cover distance without needing to rest. Plus their turret mode gives you alerts for nearby enemies (level Movement Speed to ensure you can outrun any threats you come across...RIP my very first Para)
2. Pack Mule. Paras have very high weight for the early game. Even low level Paras can carry a lot of stuff. Just jump on it's back when you're overencumbered and it will take care of the rest. (level weight to make sure your mount doesn't get overencumbered as well)
3. Turret. As mentioned, Paras have an in-built turret mode to root out enemies. It has a pretty long range too so if your out exploring it can come in handy. (level Health and Melee Damage in case your Para gets jumped)
4. Berry Harvester. By far the easiest way to get berries is to use a Para. Need Narcoberries to make Narcotics? Use a Para! Need Mejoberries for tames? Use a Para! (level weight to carry as much berries as you can!)
My name is ShinyChimchar01 and if you like my tip, please up to let me know! I've done the same tips on the Trike and Raptor and my next tip will be on the Carbonemys.
1. Find a good level pary
2. Craft a bola and use it
3. Knock it out a high level pary will not get knocked out by fists or bat
4. Get into the Dododex app then type in parasaur what level it is the it will tell you
How much food it needs
5. Put narcotic in its inventory (if you play on Xbox switch or ps4 press the right trigger every eight seconds on t narcotic the parasaur will eat the food on its own)
6. You have a pary!! Congratulations!
A quick guide for the single player ark mobile players out there :)
Taming - Use a bola and club/slingshot it in the face until unconscious. Then put berries (preferably mejoberries) and wait, no narcos necessary.
Saddle crafting - relatively cheap. Just kill a whack ton of dodos, dilos, and lystros to get 80 hide.
Utility - a good mount for travelling and carrying heavy materials.
Fighting capabilities - While having good stamina, it does not fare well against similar sized creatures, unless you have 2-3 - then you have a good chance against raptors and such.
This is a good mount for early game players looking to get from point A to point B
