So, I live in the footpaw and I've learned that to get these you either need to go through the titanoboa in the writhing swamps, or the spinos at the end of the beach. Choose one, I recommend the spinos because you can knock them out by standing at the top of the cliff above the beach and shooting them full of tranq arrows.

So these things might SEEM easy to kill, but no, they have a lot of health and do a lot of damage. I saw one kill a alpha raptor on its own. If you want rare mushrooms, rare flowers, cementing paste, wood, and silica pearls, get a stegosaurus, 1-2 trikes, 2-3 carbonemys, and a Rex and you can get the stuff

Castorides are an really strong dinosaur type , i love them , today i found a 145 lvl (i play on medium) and i knocked it out, heres how:

I had 1 bola and an ascendant bow with 20 tranq arrows,

Step 1 : run and get free hits (just to make sure it doesnt run after the bola)

Step 2 : bola it

Step 3 : Shoot it until it goes down it took 8 arrows for my ascendant bow with 284 damage.

Ok so i made a mistake i should have made kibble and got a soothing balm but i dont have a raptor for a cave or i dont have a gallimimus soooo yeah i gotta wait 3 hours for this thing (1.2% with 100% taming effectiveness and carrots..) Basically when you want to tame an castorides

Dont forget,

Kibble ( if its an high level )

Soothing balm ( if its an high level )

Bio Toxin/Narcotic/Narco Berries (I got around 70 biotoxic 80 narcotic and 1200 narcoberries for my own castorides and i had to use all)

Oh and if you dont have a ascendant bow/rifle use a longneck with darts it takes around 20 darts for 150

Get a anky and craft a refine forge put the forge in anky tame Castroids get castroids saddle and you should have anky saddle on anky then you collect metal with anky then get out refine forge then make ingots then use castroids to craft things also good if you have platform saddle Dino’s and he can be escape + fighter dino to use on a dino with play form saddle.
