Dododex
ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
The most versatile tame I can think of. Personally I have used the Castoroides for the following things:
-get wood
-raid wild beaver dams (cuz they have weight reduction for wood found in the dams)
-explore the oceans
-kill Megalodons
-kill Mantas
-tame ichthyosaurs
-tame basilosaurus
-gather underwater oil (by swimming down to them and holding a pickaxe without dismounting)
-mobile smithy
-run the lower south cave (for chitin, metal, obsidian, crystal, and the artifact)
More Castoroides Utility Tips
I don't know if it was luck but I left it alone for 2 mintues and it got 108 wood wandering
They know longer cut the weight of wood by 1/4. They reduced it to 1/2.
If you carry a wild Castoroides and put it in your waters it will make its own dam. Easy materials in bulk!
These things are amazing! If you find a wild one, then thatโs great because you can raid itโs dam for some cementing paste. Now, if you tame one, the beaver sadly wonโt make any dams. But, you can now harvest a bunch of wood with it if you put it on wandering or use a saddle. If you think itโs a bit dangerous running on the ground, let me introduce you to one of the greatest things in this game for gathering, auto-harvest. Just get an argentavis and itโs saddle, grab a tamed beaver, and go up to a tree and let the beaver hit it. ( Put on wandering for the beaver for it to work) This is way safer than being on the ground. To get way more wood, put some levels into melee and even weight if you want to. Auto-harvest also works with ankylosaurus and doedicurus.
My last tip was on the ichthyosaurus

To get stuff frot their dams place a sleeping bag, transfer the whole dam inventory then let them kill you. After respawning retake your stuff again, they dont attack you anymore.
Thumb up pls,for help.
Insane for combat early game. I wasnโt paying attention and got jumped by a tickle chicken and started screaming. Steroids, Marcus, and Woody choppa came to the rescue and whooped that tickle chicken. They fear us to this day.
This creature has a bonus where all wood placed on him will way significantly less. So Pitt all your wood on him
Wild castoroides sometimes build dams which can contain cementing paste, wood, silica pearls, rare flowers and mushrooms. But accessing the inventory of a dam will make the beavers angry so watch out!
Seems to harvest more wood per hit than a mammoth, but the mammoth has better weight reduction, so just get your hairy-elephant to follow your splinter-mouse. Now admire the open plain where a proud forest once stood and laugh uncomfortably.
Everyone. TAMING OR KILLING THESE MFERS DOESNT MATTER THE GAME WILL RESPAWN MORE. Also when you take stuff out of the dams, dump the rest of the stuff out to destroy the dam. They wonโt fill the dam again until itโs destroyed. Nobody likes opening a damn to find a bunch of wood!!!!
