You only need two things to tame this guy:
A bola and some berries. You don’t even need a club just use a fist.

Are you a new Ark player? A Tipp for you. He is fast... faster than you. The best way is craft Bola and Bola the Parasaur. Knock out and feed it with Berries. Dont miss nacoberries... Good you tamed it! Craft a Parasaur saddle and ride it! Good luck.

Step 1:Bola it
Step 2: Club it
Step 3: Tame it and then make a saddle
BOOM
Great berry harvester, I have entire stacks of narco berries and others :D

I see alot of comments giving tips for beginners but some don't realize beginners don't have tranq guns or bola bolas.My advice is punching it unconscious and they do run faster than you so try doing this in a forest with lots of trees since they always get stuck between them.Then feed them mejoberries and narcoberries until tamed.Hoped that helped ❤️

I have a Parasaur who is a hero! When i was new i had a dodo pen, a Pterra and a Parasaur named Dolby.One day on the island i was getting resources on my raft with my trusty pterra by the swamps. It was by the swamps when them dam devil snakes slam my rafts deck. I fought with extremism , tho i won i felt woosy and passed out in the shallows where i met my fate. I woke in anger and cursed the stoopid island MY RESOURCES MY RAFT MY BIRD ALL GONE! Its a 2 day run back ill never survive! I opened my thatch door to see Dolby gaurding the dodo pen . I told him about my misfortune and something changed in Dolby that day. He had a fire in his eyes and belched out a cry that made the dodos dance a song of storms. He had a will to get back what was best for us, I told Dolby it suicide to go back!But he wouldnt fear anything . We rode, Dolby ran and ran past all who threatened us. We reached the raft. Everything intact. Dolby and i can still be seen making a morning run.Ill always remember Dolby

Hatch a bunch of their babysitters, let die and u have a "prime meat" farm.

In my opinion the best starter dinosaur you can get.
Decent movement speed with good stamina, an overall okay berry farmer with good weight and highly mobile. And this dinosaur has got very low saddle requierments and you can also shoot from it‘s back.

I suggest you to tame one.

A solid first dino tame. Not very strong or fast but it can help bare your weight and in the hostile world of ark a friend is what you really need.

This is very easy tame just bola it and shoot in head with a slingshot or Beat it with club

If you name these as locations like west gate 1 or something then set them to player detection mode, they work as a great alarm system.

Use bola to keep it from running

There great cargo haulers if you upgrade their movement stamina and weight capacity

Tek parasaurs are a super important early game tame. Capture and tame at any level to get a breeding pair. You then have harvesters and transportation but more importantly a potentially endless supply of metal, oil and electronics. Keep breeding and hatching eggs early on and it will help you get those early tech pieces before you perhaps establish a more high volume source for same.

1 Throw a bola at it.
2 Hit in the head till its knocked out.
3 Feed iy berries (best are mejo)
4 Enjoy🖒

The parasuar has had its base damage buffed to 12, base weight buffed to 480, and it’s wild weight gain was raised to 9.6 per level. This makes parasaurs carry only slightly less weight than a mammoth. Parasaurs have had a huge buff.

Good first tame for starters and a good bait for taming carnivores mid game when you want to tame that carno near your base before it destroys it.👌👍

Great For Newbies! Use a bola to keep it in place , then hit it with a wooden club until it's knocked out. Easy tame , great dino. Have Fun!

To make your life easier, use a bola. It will keep it from running while you knock it out. Club to the head works well but takes quite a few shots.

I had a parasaur named Rex.
He was my best parasaur. But just like J.J.’s story says, all good things come to an end. A compy attacked him and I sent him to kill that stupid annoying dork. But that compy ran to the herd of trikes in my island and he acidentedly hit one trike, and all of the trikes attacked and killed him.
I was so sad that I fell in tears and made a rip card.
Rip Rex
Now I tamed a new one and named him Rex in homenage to my buddy.

This in my opinion the best starter tame. They can hold alot and get berry's pretty well.try to upgrade the movement speed and weight omly.
