More Purlovia Stories Tips
Okay so I was just minding my business, trying to tame a dire wolf when I see a giant pack of some more dire wolfs making their way over. So, I went and killed them. Then, I saw a rex so I went and lured it down a small cliff where it wouldn’t be able to reach the dire wolf I was taming. Anyway, after all of that I went to check on the dire wolf I was taming so I landed my ptera right next to it. But apparently what I didn’t know was that doing all of that stuff outside of render had given the game enough time to spawn in a purlovia RIGHT UNDER THE DIRE WOLF I WAS TAMING. The purlovia jumped at me and I had a heart attack because who expects a purlovia to be right under the creature your taming, where you stood just a couple minutes ago? It started murdering my ptera while I just sat there unable to move, but then it shoved my ptera off the cliff where the rex was and started eating me. Luckily, I became unstunned and it yeeted itself past me so I took that chance and ran to my ptera, who was, you guessed it, getting eaten by the rex. But somehow I managed to get on my ptera (thank goodness Azure your alive, Azure is the name of my ptera) and fly back up the cliff where the purlovia was. It tried to jump at Azure but fell off the cliff, so I logged out for the night (hopefully when I log in it’s safe, do purlovias have like a ability to climb up cliffs using their dig or what? It’s a pretty small cliff, so…)
But anyway, moral of the story? Don’t walk like 5 meters away from the creature your taming. (Also, purlovias suck. That can also be a moral of the story)
this little sht is the cause of so much heartache. my beautiful pteranodon girl, Pussie Airlines, and i were doing the carno killing quest thing and i hadn’t seen one in a while. suddenly, as i’m flying over the swamps, i see it. a lone carno terrorising the swampy residents. i knew i shouldn’t stop, but i was desperate to get that stupid quest finished so i could move on with my life that i did. i parked PA on a cliff by the redwoods, looking over the swamp. i took out my rifle and took aim. all of a sudden, i’m flung off the fcking cliff and fall into the marsh. i’m swarmed by the carno, who is now being backed by a baryonyx, two kapros and a sarco. throughout the battering, i don’t have a chance to defend myself while i’m frantically blowing my whistle to keep PA from trying to defend me, she’s on neutral, before i’m killed. i rush around my base, watching for that dreadful message that my precious PA was killed, but nothing shows up. i make a new pteranodon saddle and strap it onto unnamed pteranodon male and set off. i don’t care if he dies, i don’t care if i die, i don’t give a flying fck( hehe get it) about any of the sht that was in my inventory when i died, i wanted Pussie Airlines. i flew towards the cliff where i had left PA and was overjoyed when i found her sitting exactly where i had placed her. i tried to whistle for her to follow, but she suddenly shot up and started flying rapidly in circles. as i got closer, i saw this little sht running after her. during the tussle, i tried to decide whether or not to hop off unnamed pteranodon male and help or to just sacrifice unnamed pteranodon male, he had virtually no stamina left and i was still flying on him so i couldn’t use him to attack it, when PA goes off the cliff. i watch in horror as PA circles the band of carnivores that took my life, whistling for her to ‘stop’ ‘follow’ anything that may get her to abandon her vengeful pursuit, but to no avail. i watched helplessly as she was killed. i had no chance to grab her creature implant because those disgusting savages tore her body to pieces the second she was gone. i looked back at the cliff to see that while i was gone she had laid an egg. my biggest regret was not going back for that stupid fcking egg. the last gift my baby left for me and i disregarded it as useless. i flew home, heartbroken as the sky darkened and the clouds cried with me. that day, i learned the engram for the gravestone i had so foolishly overlooked as an unnecessary decoration and placed one in memory of my favourite baby, right on her little balcony. i’ve massacred every carno, kapro, sarco, bary and purlovia i have since encountered and will not stop until their rotting corpses fill the hole left in my heart. i have a whole little cemetery in my base now, it’s really cute.
I had a max level one of these, and it could actually one shot a diplo. I was using it to collect meat, and we were on a hill. I hid it in the ground, and then it launched out and killed the diplo, but flew down the giant hill and I didn’t see it again. I went to look for it, and then got a message that it was killed by piranhas. So I kill every piranha I see.
I was walking in the snow biom and suddenly this guy comes. I was like oh hell no. I got my bow and shot at it. Then it got knocked out I was about to leave when I thought, wait I don’t have a purlovia as a tame so I fed it lots of meat and I tamed it. His name is digger and he’s very sweet he’s like a puppy. He’s also great for pranking friends by targeting them and zoom my friend goes running. It’s so funny!!!
