Tips & Strategies

Hi I’m MastaCheeks420
Ok so I’ve seen people say the iguanadon is the upgraded version of this but in all reality a parasaur has a very good ability on console (not mobile) to sense enemies. I promise when I say I went into the redwoods with the underground jack in the boxes, and terror birds and not a single scratch to me. All I did was upgrade its speed to CRAZY HIGH stats. I even killed a lvl 18 carno on my lvl 16 parasaur! I really consider these very useful when going into a uncharted area and you don’t have a high level Dino for travel.
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!)
