How to tame and ride a dino?

[eric]

I got a saddle for one, how do I get to tame and ride it :/

Depends on the dino. Generally, you knock it out, keep it out and feed it... making sure it doesn't wake up before you tame it. Once it's tamed, you can saddle it and ride it.

It looks like a parasaurous, dunno if its called that in game as well. Tips for me?

Oh, you're talking about the saddle you get as a bonus when you start. Ah... well, I don't know what level you're on, but if you're ready...

You'll need to knock it out. But, they're fast, so if you're just starting out, you're going to have a hard time doing that. You'll likely need a slingshot.

You'll need narcoberries (they are supposed to keep it knocked out) and a bunch of other berries (it doesn't eat meat.) Hint: The berries the dino eats first are it's preferred type. If you can find more of the preferred type, taming goes faster and the effectiveness is higher.

You can also research all of this yourself using Google... lots of guides out there on taming.
