Tips & Strategies

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.

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
Why is everyone saying to build a trap? Like come on! Just bola it and shoot with tranq darts!!!
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!
