Tips & Strategies

Parasaurs are a great substitute to a trike in case your inpatient or don’t have the right tools. Parasaurs have a good weight, and they are key to picking berries before your able to get a trike. Parasaurs take about 4 - 6 bushes to get 100 berries of one type, which is very good for low levels. They also work as an early mount for getting around before you can tame a raptor. I recommend gaming between Lvl 10 - 30, after lvl 30 the only good thing parasaurs are good for are berries.
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!)
