What is a parasaur used for? parasaur battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Many people think this Dino is useless, but they are wrong. Early game? Game one. Then game 2-3 dilos, (I use eight lol) and get enough hide for a saddle. Then, ride this thing around and harvest for 2 minutes, and you have hundreds of berries, including narco berries, used for tranq arrows. Very helpful.
Great mount in general. Loyal and surprisingly not the worst fighter. I was collecting resources in the woods on my mount when all of a sudden I was attacked by a carno. Luckily my parasour, Paraphrase, was up for the challenge. He killed the carno with more than half of his health remaining. Unfortunately I had to sacrifice him to a Therizinosaurous while I was taming a sarco. RIP Paraphrase 2017-2017.
Great pack mule. Easy to tame, common, fast enough to keep up while you craft walls and foundations that you immediately stuff in its inventory. Strong and sturdy enough to protect you from dilos and other silly small agro dinos. As a mount... eh. I don’t go far early game, so personally not worth the early game material.
