ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
It requires around 27 tranq arrows to tame, but craft 30 just in case. There isn’t an animal commonly found in swamps with Paraceratheriums, so you don’t have to worry about anything attacking your tame. You’ll need around 10 narcotics to keep it knocked out. Build a mortar and pestle next to it just in case you need more narcotics. If you’re planning a voyage and are in early game, no matter how hard you try, they can’t fit on a raft, so just request them after you reach you destination. You can request by clicking the button that says “X out of X tames” then clicking on the animal you want to request and click request. Requesting will automatically teleport the animal to you, but will clear it’s inventory.
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.
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
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.
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...)
Has a very poor turning radius so you can strafe in a circle whilst shooting darts/tranq arrows for an easy tame.
The paracer apparently had the biggest Wong going of all the dinosaurs
1. Find a praceefhdeufwbgvcuekebsvurbfuebxem.
2. Punch the Paracehuehfiehduwfh7ejfwfxyzgceihyem.
3. Put berries in the paracerbdjfgwudhfuegggfueheucems inventory.
4. Wait for your paracemfrbfjefhrufyg3ihef3udgfhejvjdncjdbrhnjo838hgxem to tame.
I don’t know if anyone else has experienced this but I tried taking one of these on my own with no trap, the parapet continuously fake ran away and then returned. I loaded over 90 tranqs in to it and it never got close to going down even on a boosted server. So use a trap, I died many times to bring you this information.
