What are tips for castoroides? Tips and strategies for castoroides in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
If you just stand on top of a rock even a small one, these cant get you cause they are very bad at climbing. From there u can just tranq them. I got a level 150 that way
If you want this creature you have to build a trap you need to make a trap for the creature and when you build the trap you have knock down you can use a tranquilizer to knock and when you do feed berries but if it’s too long you can wait and you cannot feed it until it’s about to starve and when you knock it again you have to feed the berries and it’ll be faster hope it helps
If you want to take on one of them take a bow and take a sword p.s don’t forget to bring arrows
If you are planning on making Behemoth Stone Dino Gates, GET ONE OF THESE. Their saddle turns them into a portable smithy so you can craft the gates. Their weight reduction of stone and wood will allow you to hold the the 900 of each that you'll need. Tame one of these suckers and put all skill points into weight. Your other option is an argy but they don't reduce wood.
Can be carried by argys, Dododex says it can't. Drop it into a trap near your base and easy tame.
The argent can pick this up ...
Bring too much more narcotics than the app says… a lot of them
Use a long range weapon like an RPG or sniper, your pike isn’t as good as it seams against an army!
On fjordur the beavers are near the bottom of the south west island at like 30
Ok so I was gonna tame one of these little badger dudes, and I had this big prep time and all that, then it was time... I grabbed one with my argy and tranqed it out away from its little badger friends. I put in a 10x balm and gallimimus kibble (I’m on mobile btw) and, after all that prep, it was tamed in about ten seconds! A breeze if u have 10x balm :)
I saw one of these kill A Baryonyx. Do not under any circumstances take the stuff from its dam. Itll kill you and your pets.
Around the dam areas there are lots
I went to a dam to get cementing paste and had about 24 chasing me
It’s easy to attack one in a pteranodon and then lure them all down a cliff or something to steal their cementing paste
Trapped a lvl 140 surrounding it with stone pillars. Took about 12-14 tranq darts with journey man longneck. After starve taming around 40 minutes and 125 narcotics later, it was time to feed it. I used exceptional kibble, one tier above superior kibble. It ate 10 of them and bam got me a 199 after tame. Health 3060, Stam 648, weight 438, melee 256. Not bad for my first casteroid.
Note! Torpor drain is insanely high!!! I brought 200 narcotics just in case.
I have my base on an island, surrounded by land usually filled with terror birds, brontos, raptors, rexes, gallilimuses, but also beavers. Gallilimuses, pteradactyls and beavers will hang out at my island. The beavers make their dams on my island and i have a very easy way of getting the stuff:
1. take off all your armor so the beavers dont break it.
2. Make sure there is a bed or something nearby.
3. Turn your tames on passive so they dont attack the beavers.
4. Take the stuff in the beavers' dam.
5. Let the beavers kill you.
6. Respawn and get your stuff back. The beavers wont get mad if you take it from your own inventory
7. Turn your tames back on whatever mode they were on and boom. All done.
Super easy! And you even get some free meat from your corpse
I’m reading these tips and y’all are saying they are dangerous, I let a wild one roam through my house and around my tamed Dino’s and nothing happened, I realize how bad this could have ended
For ppl who are too lazy to make kibble like me find a jellyfish and kill it then use the bio toxin to keep it knocked out
So try and knock it out (this might take a while) feed it berries. But if you don’t bring any narcotics it will wake up. (This creature is in packs. So try to knock one and kill one but the downside is this creatures torpor will drain faster than any other. Be careful)!
Here is how to tame a beaver
1. Bola it
2. Club it
3. Feed it
There you go now you have a beaver
