And after a couple of strangely familiar climbing puzzles I realised/remembered/discovered that the recent movie was based on this particular game. Thankfully my memory of that isn't good enough for spoilers.

I wouldn't worry too much, you have pretty much already experienced the extent of any similarities between the film and the game.

I still can't kill that stupid dodo.

Have you tried tranq arrows? Then once it is unconscious you hack it to pieces

Not yet - I only have enough narcotics for one arrow - not sure I want to waste it on Mr Invincible. I think maybe I'll just let him be my guard dog (and hacking it to pieces still requires the health points to go down when I hit it, and they don't... that's the whole problem right there )

In that case he's like the Raptor that killed me and is basically there forever. If he still levels up and you can continue putting points in his damage, he'll just destroy anything that comes near you

Yup... Though I think I will use him more as a guard dog for the other dodos....

I now also have a fertilised lystrosaurus egg... But slaughtering cute peaceful little animals is hard, even when they're just digital. (But, yes I did have some chicken for lunch... didn't kill it myself, though)

Parasaur is freed of rock (and there went all my hides...)

Edit: and look at this colourful little thing I found! I can't kill that! It looks like a fruit...


Seems the colourist went mad for a bit...:

My name's not Jespar but....

and I added another colourful creature to my above screenshot...

I would NEVER use such horrible colour combos!
So, I have a parasaur but still no safe way to get much of anywhere as I still have to cross water to get off this peninsula...

and seriously. ONE single compy decided to attack the parasaur? Stupid compy is dead compy. And I also suspect that my parasaur is a closet carnivore, because I gave it some meat to carry and when we got home, one piece was missing. Not spoiled. Just gone.

EDIT: And another one (it kept trying to escape from the camera):


In other news I decided to try to tame a triceratops. The first one was stuck, the tranqs had no effect and I ended up killing it. (It was an accident, I swear! I guess it's hard to knock something out with an axe....). Armed with more tranqs I went after another one, which attacked, chased me off and killed my parasaur I still have the saddle though (and got some meat and hides from him at least)....
