What is a parasaur used for? parasaur battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Hi I’m MastaCheeks420
Ok so I’ve seen people say the iguanadon is the upgraded version of this but in all reality a parasaur has a very good ability on console (not mobile) to sense enemies. I promise when I say I went into the redwoods with the underground jack in the boxes, and terror birds and not a single scratch to me. All I did was upgrade its speed to CRAZY HIGH stats. I even killed a lvl 18 carno on my lvl 16 parasaur! I really consider these very useful when going into a uncharted area and you don’t have a high level Dino for travel.
The Parasaur is an easy tame, and a useful one at that. It can be as fast or even faster than a raptor with the proper levels while carrying twice as much load as one, it can also scare away raptors and other little critters that get too comfortable. You can do this by Clicking the Right mouse button on Computer, and the Right stick for both Xbox and PS4. You can get a Parasaur saddle at Level. 9 and it’s a beginner tame. The bad thing is that it has bad melee damage but you can level that up no problem. Parasaurs are also “okay” swimmers and they also have pretty good oxygen and stamina.
Use this Dino first to get narco berries, to get narcotic, to make narco arrows, to tame a trike which will do a better job than the parasaur at getting narco berries, you should tame the parasaur first because unlike the trike, it will run away so you don't have to risk dying, and then later you can get a stego which will get more berries than a trike, but they are kinda sluggish so upgrade their speed or get an argi to carry the berries back to your base.
