Tips & Strategies
This little rodent is one of the best harvesters. They can harvest plenty of wood and thatch, berries, etc.. they also have excellent weight. They have decent melee damage, and here is how to get your own.
1. Make the kibble on whatever device your on.
2. Find this very big beaver. They are found around rivers and build dams.
3. Knock it out with tranq darts
4. Feed the kibble and a bunch of berries (use bio toxin to keep unconscious)
5. If tamed, put the saddle on it and take it home.
6, extra information. Wild castorodies have a chance to have black pearls! But be careful, looking in their dam inventory makes them Argo.
More Castoroides Taming & KO Tips
Why is everyone saying to build a trap? Like come on! Just bola it and shoot with tranq darts!!!
If you want the stuff from their dams...don't tame them cause they won't build any more dams!
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.
There is in fact a slot limit! All dinos have 300 slots available
Taming these takes so ‘dam’ long
Step 1 find a dam
Step 2 grab all the cementing paste ( useful for later )
Step 3 trap or take castaroides with argenttavis or a trap
Step 4 knock unconscious and feed
Step 5 use the cementing paste and other materials for saddle
Step 6 tame and ride
Step 7 hit a tree and get tons-o-wood
Step 8 your welcome 👍
A Castoroides can be picked up by a argentavis
I tamed a level 150 of one of these wood gods, and then... it fell of a cliff... with me on it
The method I used to tame was picking up the beaver with my crystal wyvern and dropping it in a taming pen. Pretty easy knockouts but their torpor drop rate is INSANITY and you can't leave then for more than 3 minutes. Feed them either mejoberries or crops (kibble is really expensive but if you want to do that, go for it).
Hope this helps!
