What are tips for castoroides? Tips and strategies for castoroides in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
1. Search area near dam and make sure beavers aren’t too close
2. Equip bolas, open dam, and quickly grab everything that isn’t wood then get out of the menu.
3. Swing bola until you see the beaver(s) charging at you, let it get close enough that you can’t miss and then bola it.
4. Tranq with headshots, preferably with darts. Even better if you have an Argent, pick it up and fly it to your base to tame - they will likely lose aggro mid flight so when you land at base it’ll just start wandering around again. Unless you have the kibble use Mejoberries - crops don’t actually work much better and are far more accessible.
When trying to Tame this creature make sure to bring atleast 1500-1800 narcotics. Although the narcotic’s are way off bring atleast that and kibble. Or veggies. And watch his topor because the creatures topor drops 5x the rates of a normal Dino.
My advice for the island is look at the edges of swamps their dams tend to be built in that area and keep a flyer close because once you start to tame them they have a weird tendency to attract titanaboas...
When taming these thing be prepared to sit with it for a while and don't let it out of your sight because their torpor drops insanely fast
Ark hates tamed castoroides and will go out of its way to kill them or glitch them
Wild casteroids will build beaver dams... these can be accessed as an inventory and generally have wood, cementing paste, and some sort of rare item, either flowers or mushrooms. Just only access these when no casteroids are nearby, as they will agro when you open it
If your below 30 dont fight this they do alot of damage if your gonna stole stuff fly with an argy carry a daedon then stole some good stuff then carry it back home dont forget about the daedon
So what I usually do in single player is build stone walls making a square shape, get and argyle grab them drop them in this keeps them safe from predators and from them escaping, just do and extra wall on top to be sure, then build a storage box where I have boLas, whenever I need their loot I just Bola them as this can last for about 30 seconds get your bird which will carry the loot in first stop them in the enclosure, then Bola or tranq them out which tranq in is more better especially if you have more than 2 and you can do this outside of the enclosure which is highly recommended because these guys cannot Destory stone once mobilized or tranq out get what you need fast and get out these guys torpor drop very quickly, and a very special note it's best to build the enclosure and leave these guys where you find them as they will have less chance of despairing don't waste your time taming these guys you get so much more resources when they are wild from their dams.
Taming takes FOREVER I had the fastest rate of taming setting on, and it took me 3 times of it waking up and I gave up
Ya right this needs 4 bio toxin, I’m almost out of my third stack
I started hunting one for the pursuit and It took me around 10 minutes of waiting patiently for it to get close enough to the water surface for me to pick it up with my Argy.
if you find a one of these over sized slobs dams loot them hold down and loot them I use to have 10 wood now I have 1990 and a lot of mushrooms and rare flowers EPIC FIND and kill the beaver first or it will kill you pets and feast on you liver Lol

This sucker wakes up really quick, so bring lots of extra narcotics. I usually bring double what this app says I need.
Are easy to knock out just stand on an elevated position and fire away
