Bola, then knock it out with a club. It will accept berries (obviously), level it up to 150, and then find ANOTHER one, repeat, breed them, and do it ALL again with the babies until you have got an ENTIRE ARMY THAT WILL RIP APART ☺️

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.

This is the best 1st tame you can get so you can get a walkthrough just like all the others!

1. Find a parasaur

2. Bola the parasaur

3 If it’s a high level beat it with a wooden club if not use your fists if you don’t wanna make a club

4. put berries in inventory (mejos recommended for lvl boost)

5. feed it narcoberries occasionally if needed

6. you have your parasaur, name it. (go to name tips if wanted)

7. kill some dino’s with it for hide (recommended: dilo, moschops, dodo, other parasaurs, and turtles if high lvl.)

8. craft your saddle with the materials you wish you had more of and have fun!

I hope you enjoyed my version of a walkthrough and i don’t think anyone will use this let alone read it😭

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.

But how to tame parasaur:

Step one find one

Step two bola it

Step three hit in head with club/slingshot until it falls to the ground unconscious, if it's dead then u succ

Step four put 25 or so mejoberries in its inventory, this can be accessed by pressing y

Step five wait 1-2 min

Step six name it

Step seven occasionally put more Mejos in inventory

Step seven is a thing you do once it has eaten all of its berries in its inventory.

THATS HOW TO TAME A PARASAUR.

Please read this I put like 7-10 minutes of typing this in.

Utility Roles for Parasaur:

1. Long Range Scout. Paras have naturally high stamina, so they can cover distance without needing to rest. Plus their turret mode gives you alerts for nearby enemies (level Movement Speed to ensure you can outrun any threats you come across...RIP my very first Para)

2. Pack Mule. Paras have very high weight for the early game. Even low level Paras can carry a lot of stuff. Just jump on it's back when you're overencumbered and it will take care of the rest. (level weight to make sure your mount doesn't get overencumbered as well)

3. Turret. As mentioned, Paras have an in-built turret mode to root out enemies. It has a pretty long range too so if your out exploring it can come in handy. (level Health and Melee Damage in case your Para gets jumped)

4. Berry Harvester. By far the easiest way to get berries is to use a Para. Need Narcoberries to make Narcotics? Use a Para! Need Mejoberries for tames? Use a Para! (level weight to carry as much berries as you can!)

My name is ShinyChimchar01 and if you like my tip, please up to let me know! I've done the same tips on the Trike and Raptor and my next tip will be on the Carbonemys.

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

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.

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.

Use bola to keep it from running

To tame him you MUST have a bolas otherwise you won't tame him quickly, also use a club for the early stages of the game, he collects plants very well, but doesn't do much damage

#stopparasuarabuse they don't deserve all of the hateful crimes done to them

1. Find a good level pary

2. Craft a bola and use it

3. Knock it out a high level pary will not get knocked out by fists or bat

4. Get into the Dododex app then type in parasaur what level it is the it will tell you

How much food it needs

5. Put narcotic in its inventory (if you play on Xbox switch or ps4 press the right trigger every eight seconds on t narcotic the parasaur will eat the food on its own)

6. You have a pary!! Congratulations!

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.

Ok. Paras are very useful even for the best of players they can show where enemies are and can scare away medium sized creatures (raptors bugs dilos etc.) there awesome.

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.

273 points   🥚 Taming & KO   Jun 30, 2020   Report

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 ❤️

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

206 points   🔧 Utility   Apr 30, 2020   Report

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.
