Tips & Strategies

The Parasaur is an easy tame, and a useful one at that. It can be as fast or even faster than a raptor with the proper levels while carrying twice as much load as one, it can also scare away raptors and other little critters that get too comfortable. You can do this by Clicking the Right mouse button on Computer, and the Right stick for both Xbox and PS4. You can get a Parasaur saddle at Level. 9 and it’s a beginner tame. The bad thing is that it has bad melee damage but you can level that up no problem. Parasaurs are also “okay” swimmers and they also have pretty good oxygen and stamina.
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!)
