Who else didn’t know these things spawned outside of the swamp and redwoods on the island?
Just Tamed one on single hardcore, lvl 240 with only corps it took almost 3 hours bro
Update from my post
I found a pretty significant bug regarding my dissapearing paracers in mobile, after losing another 115 i found something, im not sure if its related to it but when i leave the knocked out para's render the thing just dissapears, dunno if its the starve tame or some bug.
Anyways make sure you guys read this, dont make the mistake as i did, im on my last good paracer in my area, its a level 90, wish me luck boys
Hey so recently I was taming a 115 near a swamp one day, after knocking it out p, surrounding it with walls and spikes and leaving 2 flyers on guard duty, after my routine fish meat grind session I came back to see that the parader was gone, no trace, no loot drop bag, nothing, it wasn’t devastating or anything, it was just a sheer waste of my time, does anyone know why this happens?
All ideas are great but I think the cheaper route for a trap is a simple drop trap use doorframe 3 to 4 tall and make ramp to top hit and have him follow up ramp and down to trap. Then get to taming. If you have the luxury of cryo pod grab him with that when done, or simply take down one side from top to bottom to let him out then reuse resource to reuse trap for just about anything. Good luck out there
he is a great tame especially if u get the platform saddle,rn I am working to make my paracers platform saddle made out of wood instead of thatch, I went on so many adventures cuz he carries my stuff to live,it’s a recommended tame and can be put lots of stuff,like beds,cannons,mortar and pestle,and turrets he also attacks so it’s a walking and attacking house. Recommend and great tame
Extra tip: if it takes long to tame feed it narcotics or other food that increases its torpor.
It’s actually really easy to kill these, and they give a lot of prime as well. I kill lvl 20 paracers with a lvl 30 barry, and get around 30 prime when using my pick (I also have 5 times gather amounts on my server though, but it will give a lot of prime with normal gather rates as well).
If berries is your only option then make sure it has enough health to be shot with a tranq dart after its unconscious because it takes berries take 2 hrs to tame the parcer
Don’t hit it. Whatever you do, don’t hit it, unless you mean it and are taming. It will kill you.
when taming my first on mobile i simply shot it while running around it’s turning radius and knocked it easily. try this if you are struggling hitting it from afar.
Would not recommend trapping it near a rock I left surrounded by stone gates for a bit and the guy just got out so had to remake it but with a trap easy to kill or take even without one just make sure nothing else is in the area like 2 more of them or a t rex or raptors and just move back shoot it face with any shotgun and down goes the beast
It's really easy .
You should have a tranq arrow and 25 engram tranq arrow [ if you're target is low level ] , then 70 mejoberry .
Find one and shoot it with tranq arrow then put the mejoberry and wait to tame .

The taming effectiveness and amounts for darts/arrows in not accurate i used double the amount suggested and lost double the effectiveness then what it stated. The timer was almost spot on though.
