Also counts as a mobile smithy when you saddle him
Castoroides
Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Castoroides in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
I One of the dams or whatever you call it and it gave me 305 cementing paste and 24 silica pearls so take a risk and take that loot
Do you feel like they should produce cementing paste like a bee hive
It took me more time than my gameplay time to tame this MF. 🥴. And ate almost 30 of bio toxin
Because it's torpor was draining rapid fast.
We can't even look into other things because
We will need to feed it narcotics in seconds,
The fun was it was only lvl 4🥴🤣
It will eat ur ass if u loot iys dam
A must have for PVE or PVP, ultimate wood gathering machines
If you set it to wander it gathers wood and thatch then comes back to you right before it gets encumbered, so they autofarm wood and thatch basically
Ignore all comments about wild castoroides being able to build giant beaver dams. They're making it up.
Giant beaver dams spawn alongside 2 Castoroides, so if you spawn in south zone 2 and see a giant beaver dam, kill all the castoroides plus some coelacanths, and…

Giant beaver dams spawn alongside 2 Castoroides, so if you spawn in south zone 2 and see a giant beaver dam, kill all the castoroides plus some coelacanths, and you'll get another beaver dam plus 2 beavers, which again, you should kill plus some coelacanths to free up space for more giant beaver dams to spawn.
Wild giant queen bees can't build bee hives, so don't expect wild castoroides to be able to build giant beaver dams.
the saddle also doubles as a smithy
Best way to get resources from their dams is to
1) find a wild beaver
2) bring it to a water source closest to your base
3) let it wander around until it makes a dam
4) collect everything
5) manual save then leave and rejoin to make it not try to kill you
6) when you…

5) manual save then leave and rejoin to make it not try to kill you
6) when you collect everything , destroy the dam and then wait until it makes another.
7) repeat for lots of resources
Tame one and let the hairy, wet, and good with wood beaver jokes commence.
Feed it rockarrot it tames a little faster
If taming, watch the torpor rate EVERY SECOND and use Bio Toxin. Torpor drain rate RIVALS even the Therizinos’. Pro taming tip. Only use bio toxin when taming. Tame stuff with narcs ONLY when you have a narcoberry farm, and a crap ton of meat on your carnivorous tames. I only…
If taming, watch the torpor rate EVERY SECOND and use Bio Toxin. Torpor drain rate RIVALS even the Therizinos’. Pro taming tip. Only use bio toxin when taming. Tame stuff with narcs ONLY when you have a narcoberry farm, and a crap ton of meat on your carnivorous tames. I only use narcotics for crafting tranq darts and tranq arrows. There are a crap ton of Cnidaria on South Zone 3.
Just drop a couple wild ones in a 4x4 stone pen and let them build their dams where you can raid them safely (after you destroy their original wild dam). But be sure to go 3 windows high or they will crawl out over top of the dams.
I tamed of one castoroides and I killed two cnidaria for me they can actually kill those jelly fish .
These guys can collect wood for you when put to "wander" And a lot in that. Wild beaver build beaver dams, so don't kill one in the wild. Just look for a nearby dam, loot it and run for life (beaver dams have valuable and rare resources in them)
Do not under estimate these beavers because there can be alot more in one area than you think qnd they are tanky and do pretty decent damage
These guys are easy to tame with a soothing balm. Im a beginner and just started a new game and im in the early 20's of the game. I had completed a pursuit before for killing piranhas, and as a reward i got a sotting balm. I was going to use it to tame a high level raptor…
These guys are easy to tame with a soothing balm. Im a beginner and just started a new game and im in the early 20's of the game. I had completed a pursuit before for killing piranhas, and as a reward i got a sotting balm. I was going to use it to tame a high level raptor, but it didnt work out. But since i heard that these beavers do dams, i wanted to tame one. I went after a 110 level female, and it took about 10 tranqs in the head. I boloed it and shot it in the head. I gave it the soothing balm and then gave it about 30 rockarrots at most. With the soothing balm, i suggest about at least 50 Narcotics. I used about 30, but if it is higher level, i recommend 50 narcotics. Just stay to guard your beaver and itll be fine if you keep its torpor levels up. I honestly dont know how many narcotics it takes to do without soothing balm but i hope this helped! Also, the coordinates of a safe place to find beavers is Lat:n98, Lon: 58.
Peace, CouchPotatoe
If you can make the kibble.
They take so long to tame even with crops the increase is 1%
And torpor drains ridiculously fast. I’ve lost 4 now trying to get to my base trying to get more narcotics
I was on the south zone 2 and all the beavers were elsewhere... I got 15 rare flower and 34 rare mushroom
Steal from beaver dams. It’s risky, but you reap in the rewards.
