Tips & Strategies
It will take more narcotics than posted. takes very long to tame even with crops
Empty out their wild dams if you want them to make new ones. No refills.
Relocate them to nearby river, pond, or sea and they will make dams if they survive. New ones will spawn in to replace the relocated ones.
Boxing them in on land near water will also force them to make dam in the box, but creature eventually despawns.
How to VERY easily tame Beavers (or any medium dinos with high torpor) on single player :
Step 1: Build a 4x4 trap with 2 high walls built with door frames (add ramps on one side if you don’t have an argy)
Step 2: Carry one with an argy or lure it into the trap with aggro if you don’t have an argy
Step 3: Leave it there but don’t go out too far so it won’t despawn, wait for night, put sleeping bag down and sleep for 4 hours. This step is to drain it’s food.
Step 4: Knock it out with tranqs and feed it berries or carrots (you can get plenty with a trike or stego, if not then parasaur is also good)
Step 5: Enjoy having a beaver then cry that you need to be level 61 to make a saddle for it…
Pros: Insanely fast starve tame method, doesn’t use any narcs of any kind for a level 145, doesn’t reduce much taming efficiency like the old starve tame method where you have to knock it out THEN let it starve, almost always gets 80-90% taming effectiveness.
Cons: Have to be in the area for a long while so it won’t despawn and wait for night time, it eats a lot and if you don’t check on it, it will eat everything you put in if you wanted to save stuff like crops or prime meats, you have to trap it for it to starve so will cost a lot of building mats to start.

Make sure no other Castoroides are around then bola it and shoot it with tranqs until it knocks out. Make sure you bring loads of bio toxin, because their torpor drains fast. I used this method and tamed one at level 42
Has more item slots that a traditional smithy witch allows you to allow you to craft some ascendant saddles that resources just don't fit in the slots
I haven’t been able to find one of these things in Fjordur like at all, just their builds and dens. Maybe I’m just lucky or unlucky cause I just want a good wood collector
You should get a couple tranq Arrows and a crossbow with at least 700 berries, and some narcotics . And BOOM you have Justin beaver ready to get wood.👍
Do NOT attack one of these without a good weapon, especially if there are others present. One can kill you if you’re not prepared, and several will really mess you up.
They killed my level 50 Rex... rip bobby
Have an argentavis and bring it in a inclosure near your base. This will allow you to tame it much easier than out in the open.
