Tips & Strategies

I thought these were useless. Tamed or untamed they helped me live. I tamed one, and a Bronto accidentally touch my spikes and got mad, I ordered my trike, 2 dilos, carbonemys and my tamed parasaur to attack cuz we don't have a choice, the bronto was swingin his tail damaging all of us but the parasaur was the
I thought these guys were useless. Tamed or untamed, they can be helpful. One day a Bronto accidrntally hit 1 of my spike walls and got furious attacking me and my dinos, we attacked and took a lot of damage, the parasaur was brave enough to attack it but took most of the damage. we were victorious at the end but the parasaur is now a memory. The unatamed ones can help me know when there are carnivores around so I can avoid them.
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!)
