How do you prevent being paralysed?

These stupid Purlovia things that stun you, please tell me i can do something about it, is there a consumable or something i've missed, i'm playing solo and it's a real pain in the ass trying to get in the ice cave on extinction, my dinos fine but this stun keeps getting me killed.

high fortitude slows down how quickly you gain torpor... and speeds up how quickly you lose torpor.... always carry stim berries or stimulant in your hotbar .... you have time then to eat some when you get torped.

I used a shield on those purlovia attacks and it saved my life (after dying repeatedly due to their stuns).

I don't think shields stop a purlovia stun. I've tried with tek shield.

The purlovia stun isn't based on torpor/fort is it?

Not sure if anything actually prevents the stun other than a large dino like a rex, giga, rock drake, golem, etc. A tek rifle can be used to get them out of the ground from afar and tek chestpiece used while hovering will stun but you can still boost and shoot with the tek rifle. C4 also gets them out but you'll be stunned before you get in range to place it.

The best defense is a good offense. Tall mounts like a rex or allosaurus keep you out of range. And in general, no creature will pick a fight with them.

A finesse option is a dire wolf. If you hit the "C" button while riding one, they will sniff for concealed enemies.

If all else fails, be sure to have your mount set on "Attack My Target," so they can independently engage the attacking purlovia or any other annoying stunlock-type mob such as a microraptor.
