Tips & Strategies

Once i had tamed a level 150 parasaur and named him Parry. Me and Parry did everything together, how couldn’t I? I was level 30, a starter. We fought raptors together, we farmed berrys together. When i had to fight something, Parry was there and helped! When I almost died by a raptor, Parry was left on attack target and killed the raptor! One day I put Parry in a dinoball (mod) and flew to the redwoods, where the home of thylacoleo is. Once i flew there on my pt, i put my pt in a dinoball then went on my parasaur. I had a bad feeling about going there so i flew back to my base with my pt, but i didnt dinoball my parry. I got pounced to the ground by a thylacoleo with my pt and i died.
3 weeks later after i died, a player came up to me and said they saw my Parry. I then went back and there he was! He was there with some meat in his inventory, you know what that meant! I dinoballed Parry and went back home. #ParryIsUnstoppable.

First starting in Scorched earth after the downfall of my Center server I brought my lvl 191 parasaur with me. Finally found a base location and as I run to grab water what happens? Gator grabs me,destroys me. Level 125. Needless to say I ran back to get my bag and get the saddle off my parasaur, but as I arrive what do I see?! My bloody parasaur with the Sun behind him, Sun glistening off the blood as he stands victorious over the gator guarding my bag, and waiting for me. Moral of the story, Parasaur is life.
My first ever tame was a parasaur that I named Squishnose. I stood by him through famine, caves, and even giga attacks, and he did the same for me. I don’t know how I kept him alive so long but I did. Eventually, after soloing the first boss (which took over a year) I decided to leave the island for aberration, and I transferred him over with me. Then I went to Ragnarok. Then, it happened. We were exploring, just me, him, and a level 10 ptera named Berryraptor, when we were attacked by an alpha Rex. We just barely managed to escape, and o was setting up a camp for us to recuperate, when a dilo. A FREAKING DILO, snuck up and killed him. To this day, I refuse to let a dilo live, and in every map I visit I build a memorial to Squishnose the Mighty.
Like a declining marriage, these guys are great at the start but over time get fat and lazy sitting at your base all day being left behind because you found a nicer, prettier Dino that's better. But these guys are loyal to the end and will happily carry you back to your corpse.
