What is a paraceratherium used for? paraceratherium battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
My paracer is used as a respawn point and also when on 2 player,one of my bros goes on it and steer it wherever we want to go and I usually bring my argie on the mini house and when there's something threatening in the distance,I go and scout with my argie and if I can kill it,I do so. Not Gigas of course,or high lvl rexes (My argie can kill low - mid lvl rexes so yeah we are good.)
Here are a few reasons why I would reccommend getting a Paracer for mid-game:
-Fairly easy to tame
-Great for harvesting thatch
-Higher level paracers have tons of health
-They deal a surprising amount of damage
-You can unlock the paracer saddle at lvl 41 and the platform saddle at lvl 50; The platform saddle is very useful as you can place things on it and it doesn't weigh down your paracer
Have fun!
I have built the ultimate wyvern killing factory with this guy. First I went and tamed one of these guys and got the platform saddle and built a house on it. So then I went to the wyvern place and put it there stole a wyvern egg and I had guns on the roof so it killed the wyvern. Then brought back down to my base and hatched it.

These guys are great for turrent soaking, if you slap a decent platform saddle on one and build a decent sized metal wall as far back as possible, just big enough to cover the paracer’s back you can use it to soak turrents walk it backwards and it won’t take much damage great way to raid some new bases
If you are relatively new to Ark, it would be better to tame a paracer than a bronto simply because it’s easier to move around. Even though it has lower stats in health and weight, it still has an adequate amount of both. Stamina will be higher as it is smaller in comparison. Putting levels in health, weight, and melee is best, then maybe put a few in stamina and/or movement speed to make it a better travel companion. Overall, this is an adequate pack animal that is more compact and easy to travel with if you are in early mid game.
