Taming & KO Tips
How do I tame a paraceratherium? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a paraceratherium.
It's not hard just walk away while tranquilizing it, just try to lead it away from the swamps
Always whose a Titanboa for the knock out and bring a stegosaurus to gather berries for the taming
Do NOT tame this guy with berries. His torpor drops fairly quickly and he will have terrible taming effectiveness.
THEY CAN NOT FIT THROGH WOODEN GATES I TRYED THR BEST WAY IS JUST GET UP HIGH WHERE IT CANT GET YOU AND TRANC IN THE HEAD AND THEN SHOVE BERRYS DOWN THROAT wait like forever but have lunch while doing it BAM YOU GOT ONE A TINY BRONTO
Get on high ground and shoot from there so it can't hit you
I’m not sure if this is just me, but it took about half the time that the dex says to tame
What I did was just get on a trike and shoot it's face. It quite easy as the head faces you during attacks. Make sure you have high health on mount cause they do respectable damage much more than bronto. They also travel in herds so I wouldn't suggest anything lower than crossbow
Paracers spawn in the swamps and redwoods, so it's a good idea to find one near your house since you can't pick them up with a quetzal. Try to lure one out of the swamp or redwoods and stand on a cliff to shoot it with tranqs because you don't want to stay in those biomes for long, if you do, you're done for.
I trapped it in stone battlement and got the tame
Just Tamed one on single hardcore, lvl 240 with only corps it took almost 3 hours bro
I just tamed one of these and I’m here to give some tips! 😎 first lure it away from the swamp this is super important because sarcos and titanibowa will get to it. 😩 next Bring it to a really rocky place it will get stuck on everything. Bring at least thirty tranq arrows for a level one. I found it easy to just run around it shooting it. I used meojoberrys but you can use whatever! Have fun taming your new friend! 🦕🦕
I have my speed leveled to 121% as usual but I just shot him and ran and repeated till he was down I did lead him out of the swamp onto the beach
A good way to tame on Aberration is to get it stuck on the trees and just spam arrows into its face, plus it’s the only mount with a platform saddle in aberration so you can put a cannon or catapult on it and go same some giant crabs (go for HP so it can take some hits)
The Paracertherium is literally the derpiest of all animals,but it can be useful, u just need to find paracers in the redwood forest when it’s near the swamps, just run to a safer place so you can tame your own paracer
Yall using taming pens? Just lure the pacer to some rocks where it could get stuck, tranq it and dont worry abt argo’s unless its a rex.
Lead it away from the swamp, then it's an easy tame
The easiest way to knock out one of these is if you are on a multiplayer server to take a tapijara, a friend, some tranq darts, a rifle and food for it. Agro it with a tranq let it follow you up to a safer area then fly away in circles while shooting at it to knock it out. feed it and now you have a walking base :)
First dinosaur I ever tamed, lost it for a month before a nice tribe found it for us. Useful as a mobile base, attack platform, merchant guard etc. Grab a few of these beautiful things and get yourself a mobile tribe of you're on a decent server. Everyone gets a laugh out of seeing your train of trading paracers around. As long as you have a safe space to bed them down it will be a fun time
I have 3 of these guys. My first one is a lvl 22 female named Snow because she is an albino-colored (white) Paraceratherium with a stripe of gray skin going down her neck and back. The second one is a lvl 20 male named Rusty, who gets his name for his unique appearance, with a shade of brown/orangish coloring down his neck and back with the rest of his skin (excluding the belly and chest and tiny misc areas) being gray, giving the appearance of rusted metal. He gives Snow and another Paraceratherium company, of whom is a lvl 23 female by the name of Alice (off-yellow coloring, but is otherwise the same appearance as Snow). They love each other and will defend each other and any other creatures I have that they know should any predator dare threaten them. Hopefully this motivates you to tame one. (Stock up on narcotic arrows first though or you’ll have a bad time). Alright, thanks for reading.
Beware, these things take a while to tame
