What is a parasaur used for? parasaur battling strategies in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Absolutely wonderful dino to have when you’re starting out on a new map. Just started Crystal Isles today, caught a high level one and was reminded of how much of a godsend they are. Parasaurs are awesome pack mules and are lifesavers when you have low weight and need to gather a lot of resources. They’re also great for moving around to find better areas for a base but they are a bit slow. They can and will defeat weaker carnivores as well. I had one on the Center that killed a good amount of raptors and a few Carnos and saved my ass plenty of times. The higher level, the better! Very underrated and very useful creature to have. 11/10, a good boi/gurl.
All this info is really great but what i need to know is what pressing right stick does for console players. Pressing right stick with a parasaur on console starts some sort of timer that appears at the top right corner of the screen, but i dont know what it’s supposed to mean.
This guys is one of if not the best starter tamed. He can scare off smaller Dino's, such as raptors, and he can detect players, takes, hidden purlovias, reapers, and rock elementals, and, this guys has some RIDICULOUS weight. I mean, a level five that I tamed cause I was lazy had 625 FREAKING WEIGHT! The only downside is they are pretty weak if they get attacked.
Let me tell you something. Parasaurs are very smart and even though they are week they NEVER GIVE UP. WHY? It's because I have story with my parasaur. So in the wild I was taking a parasaur and in the wild they are not smart and do GIVE up. One hit on it, and the parasaur goes coocoo crashing into rocks and ALWAYS running to dangerous places. AND this was my first time playing ARK and I was so happy I tamed one(named him Pary) and so 9 seconds later a dilophosaur appeared! For me that was a big deal cause it was my first time playing so it killed me. I was thinking it will be over cause its night, my parasaur is probably gonna die and I lost all my stuff. So I decided to just carry on. So the next day, I wanted to look for some hide. Then I saw a parasaur on the beach and I'm happy that there is hide si right when I'm about to throw the spear at its head. I NOTICED IT WAS PARRY AND HE WAS CARRYING ALL MY STUFF! That's when I started to call every parasaur-Parry! For what he did!-Sasha
Easily tamed, these are the camels of ARK. Long distance travelers, they can go for miles without food or without needs of rest. They, even on a lower level, can carry a moderate amount. Their primary things I use is their frightening horn against raptors and their radar to check for threats.
