If you wanna tame the big guy, first locate a paracer and lure it away from the swamp, then find a flat terrain and build a trap. (Using 3 stone gateways) Then place a large bear trap in the middle and lead the paracer into the trap, when it's trapped, close off the trap with the final stone gateway. Then start shooting tranq arrows or darts at it's head. When it is knocked out, feed it berries or Superior kibble. This creature's torpor drops fast so put narcotics or narcoberries in it's inventory. When it's tamed, congratulations, you tamed a paracer!

You can also try to run away and shoot like you would do with a bronto but it's more risky as paracers are faster than brontos.

Lure it away from the swamp and shoot it with tranq arrows. It will be 20+ arrows used. Don't forget to run when shooting or just make a trap.

real quick, but why does this guy look depressed?

You can make a house on the platform saddle and on the porch a cooking pot to make beer to crack open a cold one with the boys

He protec, he attac, but most of all...

He got a cannon on his back.

The only dino that'll agro an unconscious paracer is a Rex. So if those are taken care off and your cautious about not bringing in extra friend with you. You don't have to worry about other creature damaging your tame.

Ok, so I just tamed two of these. (I live in the swamp/Redwoods) So, I’m just living my life, and an Alpha Carno just comes out of nowhere?? He just kinda,,, appeared. And I was really stressed out cause I thought I was gonna lose everything, but my paracers came through! They had the Carno down in less than a minute. I would definitely recommend these things to mid-level players like me, especially since they’re not hard to tame at all! (Sorry it’s so long, I got excited)

Most likely gonna get hated for this but uhh

To me it’s free meat ;-;.

On Scorched Earth the Paracer with its platform saddle is a needed tame. You can put a cannon on it and use it for taming Rock Elementals or use its high weight and health for carrying large loads of supplies around through dangerous areas.

I use my paracer as my cargo transport dino for short to mid distance. I use it to go to the redwood nearby and gather MASSIVE amounts of metal. Just hop off, get the metal, load up the paracer, then get back home. They can defend themselves quite effectively
