Tips & Strategies

What are tips for parasaur? Tips and strategies for parasaur in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Wassup,the parasaur is perfect for exploring and scouting areas , this is mostly because of its weight which if you like collecting random useless stuff like me is perfect not to mention it's above average speed and its ability to scout areas it can also gather berries.
Finally I like to put ALL my points into health and weight so i can transport stuff easily, the drawbacks are that unlike the trike which has a giant hit box the parasaur requires aim to efficiently gather bushes .
i the end its the perfect beginner tame .

Aberration tame 1 instantly bc raptors & balisk at least u will have a chance
Pros
Can get caught by a bola
Really easy to tame and low levels can hold heavy weight
I have a LEVEL 17 and it can hold 600 weight
Has an ability to pinpoint and locate local threats
Their saddle’s craft-able at level 9
Cons
Their turret mode’s annoying when there’s things around you that are barely a threat like piranhas or compies
They’re slower than bigger threats like raptors
Have a small health pool
Their range is pretty small and can’t damage small creatures like compies when they attack the parasaurs underside
You know how parys always run off you punch Them, well if you go to herbivore islands there is loads of rocks they get stuck in which is perfect To trap them and knock them out
This technique can also be used for phiomia
The big thing is: if you put 3 standing torches around its egg, it will happily hatch in 10 minutes!
Why does no one like the parasaur compared to other gatherers? Yeah, the others might get bigger amounts of berries but even if it takes longer it has much better movement speed than for example a stego, and not only that the parasaur has decent weight that will hold much more berries, yeah, I get pumping weight on other creatures but starting off with half-decent weight is good on its own. But conversation aside, Cooked meat is better to eat anyways.
Can knock out instantly with shocking tranq. dart
Super easy to tame by just udon a bola and then hitting it with a club
These dudes run away when you hit them. You should use a bola to inmovilize them and then leave’em unconscious. They eat berries.
The parasaur is probably my favorite early game tame, It's really early game, it's rideable, it gathers berries, it detects hostiles which you need to avoid in the early game, and it goes decently fast and is a pack mule. It is also one of the easiest things to tame (if it's a low level)
Every like to this makes my Parasaur, Orange, more famous. Also here is how to tame:
1.) Use bola (If you doing have one, craft it.)
2.) Attack with a bat, tranq gun or hands until it is knocked out.
3.) They are herbivores, give it Rockarrot, berries, etc. (No Narcolics needed)
4.) Wait for it to tame or go back to base.
5.) Check if it is ok
6.)Name your new Parasaur!
Also Orange has a mate named Mango. Mango is a SHE, Orange is HE
Pin it in a cliff and it cannot run out until you tame it
Hey so there are no tips on breeding that I am able to see so far, but like how do you breed is there somewhere you go to or something?
