Knock them out and leave, so you don’t have to wait for another to spawn

If you have a wyvern or an argentavis, pick up one of castoroides with it and place it into a little trap (my trap was just 2 wooden foundations and stone walls) and just tranq them there.

I saw with my own eyes Two! TWO! i say killed a sarco!

Be carefull with these guys they might look harmless but they are absolutely not

Just go to the dam leave your stuff at your base take all let it kill you and then loot your dropped inventory and then they won't aggro you

Some people the theri is better for WOOD but the beaver is better for wood and gets a weight reduction for it also on mobile they can get quite a bit of rock carrots from jungle bushes

I found one and bolad it and tranqed it like normal and it’s health started going down like crazy. This was my first time ever trying to tame one and sadly it died😭. I think it should have lived

If there is a dam with one of these bad boys near your territory, don’t approach! Wait a few days and the beaver will die and the dam is all yours

It is a mystery how they make cementing paste, but I want to know why they don’t make it after tamed?!!?

You need to pump melee and weight.

In early game if attacked do not fight back with if unprepared

For Ark Mobile;

-If you want a passive wood supply, don’t tame them. Just let them be and they’ll build a dam (just make sure to pull out all the needed resources like wood, rare flowers, silica pearl, Cementing Paste,etc) so that they can make another dam. But a tamed Castoroide, just put them on wonder and carry them with an Argy and get close to a tree (recommend to level up melee and also weight on your Castoroides). It’s like having a Doedic but it gathers wood :) Hope this helps.

They are amazing wood gatherers!

I went through two stacks of narcoberries make sure to stack up a bunch

how to steal dam loot.

1 go up to it

2 access it

3 transfer all

4 run. you will be fast enough to escape them.

5 or… kill them. just don’t t use melee weapons.

6 enjoy go find another one or something.

Guys grab it with an argy and trap it in a box and sleep for 7 irl hours if you have the clock and in single player and when you wake up just knock him out he will have 0-500 hunger

I see one of these dudes after being killed after a therizino and I got it made a huge mistake the thing mauled me alive

since nobody knows how to build a very good taming pen for creatures like these or theri heres mine:

just take a 3x3 stone foundation (total 9) and get 36 doorways

and place them to make a cube on the foundations

and finish up placing stone floor doing a circle on the doorways

and boom you have got an awesome taming pen where even therizinos cant escape

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.

Take a flying dino.

whistle it to follow, take the dam then ride the flying bird and fly away.

A quetzal is recommended if u take the wood too

My first tip lol

Don't forget to empty the dams when playing on servers. Even if you only need the cp, throw away all other ressources (wood and the likes) from the dam to destroy it. Cp does not regenerate inside spared dams. :)
