ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
1. Search area near dam and make sure beavers aren’t too close
2. Equip bolas, open dam, and quickly grab everything that isn’t wood then get out of the menu.
3. Swing bola until you see the beaver(s) charging at you, let it get close enough that you can’t miss and then bola it.
4. Tranq with headshots, preferably with darts. Even better if you have an Argent, pick it up and fly it to your base to tame - they will likely lose aggro mid flight so when you land at base it’ll just start wandering around again. Unless you have the kibble use Mejoberries - crops don’t actually work much better and are far more accessible.
More Castoroides Taming & KO Tips
If you want the stuff from their dams...don't tame them cause they won't build any more dams!
Be warned!! I’ve seen 2-3 of these take on a Spino and kill it!
Do not leave unattended the torpor goes down at a monsterous rate
Strong as hell, especially in packs. Don't put such nice things in your dam if you don't want me to raid it. Jerks.

Taming these takes so ‘dam’ long
I tamed a level 150 of one of these wood gods, and then... it fell of a cliff... with me on it
A Castoroides can be picked up by a argentavis
make 4 foundations and 6 doorframes
set the foundations and doorframes down on a flat surface
shoot the beaver with tranq arrows or tranq darts
(if you hit one they all start to attack you and if your not careful they will swarm you and deal enough damage to kill you and your tame)
guide the beavers in the little trap you made from the foundations and doorframes
kill the ones you don’t want and tranq out the one you do want
And boom you have itself a big prehistoric beaver
