ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion
Tips & Strategies
It can take a while to tame, so make sure you bring it to a safe area. DO NOT LEAVE IT ALONE. You should probably sit there and watch the torpidity and feed it narcoberries or narcotics accordingly.(I gathered 400 berries and 50 narcotics, mine was level 38- Note that i didnt need this much, but be prepared anyways)
To knock it out, use something to bring it out of its group, maybe kill the group, but i personally used an argentavis to carry it out (it wont agro) then once in a safe spot, knock it out (i used bola and a crossbow) make sure its a safe spot, cause if you want to tame this, you arent leaving it for a SECOND. I gave it about 300 mejoberries, which was overkill, but i was worried. I now own one of these silly guys, and im going to build a huge wall.
More Castoroides Taming & KO Tips
Why is everyone saying to build a trap? Like come on! Just bola it and shoot with tranq darts!!!
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.
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!
