What is a parasaur used for? parasaur battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
You can use them as turrets, you can build a taller tower and put a para and some turrets on it and it will tell you if a enemy has entered your base or in your general area. I suggest naming them Sector one or quadrant one second to quadrant two and so on, so you know when it pops up which area of a base has an enemy in it.
This is a great first tame! They are easy to tame and useful, both as a pack animal, a detector and starter mount. Use right click (IDK what it is for Mobile and Console, sorry) to scan for enemies while on it, or set it to turret mode while stationary. Level weight and movement speed for a pack animal, and for a mount level stamina and movement speed. Pair-a-saurs prove extremely valuable to new players and experienced players alike! Experienced players can use them as an alarm.
This is easily my favorite starter tame great carry weight, amazing stamina, can detect enemies to help you avoid death(yes even underwater enemies too), and has a roar ability that makes small dinos in its radius get scared and run away from you, largest affected enemy in my experience is raptors very useful
Good early tame, not fast or particularly good as fighters, but they make a decent pack animal early on and later can serve well as bait Dino’s to protect your more vulnerable animals in convoys. They swim pretty well and make a good quantity of medium feces for farmers.
Newest update gives them the ability to spot enemies on your HUD.
