Dododex
ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
The easiest Dino to take in ARK, second only to the Dodo. The easiest way to KO would be to craft at least two Bola (just in case you somehow miss with the first), then proceed to give it a face full of wood, or an arrow to the head. Once tamed, these guys make for a decent first mount early game if you are wanting to get from point A to point B in in a fairly good time, while also carrying enough supplies to build a small camp base. Like other herbivores, you can also use them to gather berries fairly quickly. When in your base, they can be used as an early warning system to alert tribe members if somebody is trying to sneak into your camp. When ridden, they possess two abilities, a sonar like "ping" to reveal hidden enemies and wild dinos that may pose danger, and loud "honk" to scare away any would be predators. Word of warning, though. Thier primary weakness is the fact that they possess little to no attack strength, so don't think you can take anything larger than a Dilo on one. They make up for the lack of melee damage with fairly decent speed, although some Raptors can quickly catch up to a fleeing Parasaur. Another slight disadvantage Parasaurs have is that they cannot jump, so try not to ride in rough terrain. Their swim speed also leaves something to be desired. Overall, these guys work best as a forward scout mount for when you want to explore or search for a new outpost location if you don't have access to a flyer, while also being strong enough to carry the needed materials. Keep in mind to stay out of tight forests or rough terrain, and keep water crossings to a minimum. Always keep your head on a swivel with the sonar ability. When leveling, train in HP, Stamina, Carry Weight, and Movement Speed (but only enough to keep from becoming the next meal for a wild Raptor pack).

1 up one R.I.P. for EVERY killed parasaur ππ
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.
Wish u can shoot wile running on this and all ridables. Please make this happen.

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.
The parasuar has had its base damage buffed to 12, base weight buffed to 480, and itβs 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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
Taming at max effectiveness is easy, basic kibble is the easiest kibble to make in the game with extra small eggs being the 'hardest' ingredient. (go get a dodo first.) Only a little is needed for a lvl 150 para. Bola it first, then hit it in the head with a bat. Repeat until it's unconcious, load it up with kibble, and done! Enjoy your max level max effective Para. They make good pack mules, good long distance mounts, and great security. And they're better at harvesting berries than you are!
