Tips & Strategies
tapejaras are GREAT for taming anything in the redwoods: allos, rexes, paracers, carnos, etc. just grab a longneck & tranq darts/shocking tranq darts (or tranq arrows if that’s your thing) and aggro the dino you’re taming. fly onto the nearest tree and land. fire tranqs down onto their head & you’ve got an easy KO. pro tip for anyone using godmode: pop some narcotics into whatever you’re taming, set the speed at 25% so the torpor drains super slow & spam the level up target button until their food is less than halfway depleted (it drains super fast when leveling up). just keep an eye on their torpor. you may have to pop a few more narcotics into them every 80 lvls or so, but if you give them 20 narcotics off the bat along with 25% speed, it’ll take a while for all 20 to be applied! i’ve tamed 600-700 lvl creatures with this starve tame method and they only need 1-2 kibbles most of the time. happy taming :D
More Paraceratherium Taming & KO Tips
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.
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
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.
When knocking these guys out, DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THEIR SPEED. Even though they are slow they can easily catch up with you. I learned the hard way by trying to back pedal it like a bronto, but it hit me and got me down to half health. When I started chasing it, I thought I was about good, then I ran into a lvl 115 carno that would've killed me if I didn't have my therizino close by. While I was being chased, the paracer passed out, so all I had to do was kill the carno and feed the paracer.
(This should probably be in stories but at the same time it's kind of a tip...)
This is how to tame a paraceratherium (giraffe thing) first lead it away from the swamp and if needed kill the herd so the others don't get agro-ed' then you should have a fast mount for example pteranadon argy or procoptodon then shoot and run on your mount then every few seconds dismount to take a couple shots. when knocked out feed veggies or berries (mejoberries) saddle is unlocked at level 41( this is a good early game behemoth like dinosaur
Mount a industrial grill on the paracer platform and have it follow u whilst on Rex or giga then when u get prime jump on paracer and put prime on grill
1. Find a praceefhdeufwbgvcuekebsvurbfuebxem.
2. Punch the Paracehuehfiehduwfh7ejfwfxyzgceihyem.
3. Put berries in the paracerbdjfgwudhfuegggfueheucems inventory.
4. Wait for your paracemfrbfjefhrufyg3ihef3udgfhejvjdncjdbrhnjo838hgxem to tame.
These guys r a super easy tame! Even if you are low level and haven’t unlocked the saddle yet, def tame it as it will be great protection for the base if smth strong comes. I have one called Barry and I take him everywhere!
Try to find a lone paracer since they roam in herds outside the swaps. Trying to knock a paracer out when it's near other paracers is an easy way to die.
The paracer apparently had the biggest Wong going of all the dinosaurs
