What is a parasaur used for? parasaur battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
Turret Mode is a great way to warn you of enemies within a pretty decent range! However, your Parasaur will not follow you while in Turret Mode, and it will not sound a warning while you ride it (enemies will still be highlighted in red).
Also, Turret Mode does not distinguish between threats; it could be warning you of a deadly Rex or Giga nearby or there’s a Compy or (apparently) Oviraptor passing through. Best to ere on the side of caution!
When you tame this never and I mean never only pump into one stat spread the points out between health,weight,stamina and speed. Don’t put any levels on melee damage, because if you do then it will get killed as it doesn’t do much damage even with about 10 extra levels of it.
Why does no one like the parasaur compared to other gatherers? Yeah, the others might get bigger amounts of berries but even if it takes longer it has much better movement speed than for example a stego, and not only that the parasaur has decent weight that will hold much more berries, yeah, I get pumping weight on other creatures but starting off with half-decent weight is good on its own. But conversation aside, Cooked meat is better to eat anyways.
Yes , we all agree that the parasaur is the best starter tames , low on berries? Dont worry , because paras are great for gathering berries , thatch, and wood they can kill alpha compys and dilos, even a iguanadon , they are great for exploring as well , but dont get too close to dangerous carnivores, they can kill it ... hope it helped
This is an average mount that can take you long distances either at a slow pace,or fast pace.It is an everyday pack mule that can be used to travel around The Island.I recommend it for beginners who need a easy simple carrier,but not really for defensive or offensive purposes.Level more their weight,stamina or speed mainly,and some of their health but that about it.Make it in to a real life camel or raptor,but it always depends on the person.
Quick tip (mostly for solo/pve players, harder on pvp obviously)
Tek Parasaur Farm. A few males and a lot of females will provide you with a home supply of oil and electronics, plus scrap metal which can be smelted into scrap metal ingots
(...and if youre a loser like myself you can try to breed a bunch of tek parasaurs with a single uniform color)
