What are tips for castoroides? Tips and strategies for castoroides in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
[Ark Mobile] Live. In. The. Hidden. Lakes. Casteroides spawn there all the time so I have a constant supply of dams. I just have my tames kill them and I have a nice amount of cement paste, rare flowers and mushrooms now. Note: The occasional Sarco spawns in that area so have the equipment ready to kill them and keep your weaker tames protected in Dino pens! Also seal the Hidden lake openings close if you can, raptors and Therizs can wander in if you don’t! (SB: I play Single-Player Mode.)
If u ever attack these DONT go in the water to try to escape..your dead if u do
Try using soothing balm thats a good trick
You better put some sleeping bag, near their dam or any spot you preferred, before you raiding their dam.
When you start to open the inventory dam, quickly click "transfer all", then let them kill you
Respawn at the sleeping bag you recently put, then go to your corpse to loot back the previously raided item. And the good thing is, they will not aggroing you anymore

On mobile, usually they spawn on hidden lake or in the souther islets (where that hunter cave is lying down) if you see their dams get all of its resources-quit the game-and then re enter the game (it resets their aggro on you so you can farm wood without being hurt
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.
If you want their dams for their materials don’t hunt for dams take a tapejara i think the tapejara will work if not a quetzal grab on of the bad suckers and transport them to a nearby lake or river near your base and they will make dams you also might wanna clear the area of baddies
Bring at least more than 80 narcotics, these guys' torpor goes down at a ridiculous speed
It’s torp drops incredibly fast , bio toxins work best to keep it sleeping
Don't kill these for pelt, it's a waste. Raid their dams and they will build more (just be ready to run immediatly!). Better to use them for endless cp.

Always use kibble! I tamed a level 150 with pure mejoberries... Had some carrots too, it was an entire afternoon of checking it's torpor. It's nice and all but it doesn't have too good weight. I would get 1000-2000 wood and go back to base fairly unsatisfied. I use mammoths now since they can defend themselves, gather berries as well and hold a TON of wood. I'd rather collect less but hold more than collect more and hold lesd since that just means less trips back to base and a more fullfilling trip each time.
