Tips & Strategies
Easiest way to knock one out is to get on a cliff and shoot it but be ready to chase it when it runs. (if no birds are available though I wouldn't suggest getting one without a bird) if you have a quetzal or a tapajera then just shoot it from the air then build fences or spike walls around it because it's a big dino and hard to protect especially in the swamp
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

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 havenβt 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
