ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
Use this Dino first to get narco berries, to get narcotic, to make narco arrows, to tame a trike which will do a better job than the parasaur at getting narco berries, you should tame the parasaur first because unlike the trike, it will run away so you don't have to risk dying, and then later you can get a stego which will get more berries than a trike, but they are kinda sluggish so upgrade their speed or get an argi to carry the berries back to your base.
More Parasaur Utility Tips
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!)
