ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
If speed is leveled right they can be outpaced; they can be snared with a bola and knocked out or shot with tranq arrows through a 2x2x2 pen with open windows and a ramp to trap the castoroides to prevent carnivores from getting at it. Torpor goes down quick so a lot of narcotics and/or biotoxin is needed, if you canβt make their kibble use crops. I use starve tame because their food goes up relatively quick unless you allow it to go down for a while. Dedicated taming process, but worth it. My two beavers Frost and Char just had a baby, and unlike other dinos they gestate inside the mother instead of hatch from an egg. And they are mobile smithys
More Castoroides Taming & KO Tips
In Ascended, if you see a high-level female beaver and have an Argy, Rhynio, or any other carrying flier, TAKE IT and drop it in a 2x2 or 2x3 stone taming pen, only 1 wall high. When you leave the area, sheβll spawn beaver babies at her same level (If she already has beaver babies in the wild, theyβll chase after her I believe. Just donβt let them get swallowed up!) Now I have a lvl 100 beaver mom ready for taming, and her three lvl 100 baby beavers will be claimable after sheβs tamed!
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.
Why is everyone saying to build a trap? Like come on! Just bola it and shoot with tranq darts!!!
There is in fact a slot limit! All dinos have 300 slots available
Taming these takes so βdamβ 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 π
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
