Encountering Tips

How do I kill a paraceratherium? paraceratherium battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
real quick, but why does this guy look depressed?
I found a 103 in the swamp should I take it
Why does he look depressed?????
These guys give a good amount of prime so if you’re looking to tame a giga or a rex with prime these are a great way to get lots of prime meat. It’s also easy to kill one of these if you have a high level argie.
Amazing for soaking tek and heavy turrets
Overall a decent bruiser, and faster than one would expect. It seems to give more prime meat on average than a bronto does, making it a good animal to hunt with a Rex or Giga.
Find them near the swamp
These dudes damage greenhouse which is not a stat on this app. That should probably get tracked for all dinos.
I have a whole army of these guys a total of seven of them three of them have platforms. They are unstoppable. The one in the middle I named WORLD PIG and a an eighth one in my base so I can pack it with materials if I am raided and I manage to escape.
it’s on every map, including aberration
On the island they wander around the swamps and especially around the border of the Redwoods Biome though they spawn within the Biome as well. Great source of prime meat.
On Scorched Earth, the Oasis at the Red Beacon is a popular Paracer spawn.
DO NOT ATTACK THINGS AROUND THESE, all my dinos but one died to these things after accidentally hitting one
These paracer are dangerously stoned out of their mind, just look at their faces. Be careful!
It’s amazing for prime meat
I’ve used it to a my lvl 200 raptor u can get anywhere from 3 to 7 prime with a PRIMITIVE Metal pick
So I just use em for the prime
If your trying to take one of these down I recommend a pack animal for max speed. Like a group of raptors or ravengers would get it down in seconds if correct level that is.
Just had an aggravated Paracer walk through a metal fence 5 rails high.
Fact: Paraceratheriums are also known as indrotheriums. (I learned that from Jurassic world the game) and are a distant relative of giraffes. Oh I also had a R-Paraceratheium and it looked like a giraffe and named it Jeffrey.
Don't be afraid,The giants are neutral...It spawns near swamps and many places,I think...When I was walking with Carno named Seflm,A players rushed to me and dropped a note saying help...And a large trembling near,I targeted it,It attacked me first...Half the health was gone,My Carno attacked and killed him,Luckily for my Carno,There where hunters nearby,They all shot it...It was a high level...My Carno lvl 259...Even he was 69/4000HP.... Hu....That was a close call...So some of u guys without even Armor can't withstand it...So be prepared if u want to tame one or kill one....Otherwise leave it alone and it will leave u alone
Just dont hit them and your fine, but pro tip if your getting chased by something hide under the para and let the creatures fight
