Have a ton of narcotics and do not leave them

Do not leave them unattended torpor drains quicker than you can run from a giga

Not sure why everyone discourages taming. I'm pretty sure the game replenishes their numbers every time the server goes through a wild dino wipe, and these little guys are really handy to have around for what little space they require.

to the person who said there should be a giant platypus in ark. there is a platypus just not a giant one. its called maewang or something.

For the person who is asking about beavers spawns in island, i usually go to the redwood river near the swamp, there are beavers there and in hidden lake too. If you dont want to travel everytime, you can carry a beaver by a argy to your nearest river or lake and they will build dams for you :3

Cost of Narcotics is way off. Bring ALOT more. Like 4x more

Digging into their dams is worth supplies, until you have to tell your friends you were killed by an angry beaver.

Only tame one. Kill the others and make sure the one your taming is 100 or more. Overpowered for wood.

This beaver is a fast creature and can kill with ease i highly prefer building a trap using one stone foundation 4 doorframes and one ramp use narcoberries instead of narcotics because there torpor drains super fast

If your early game you will already have a trike which is better because the beavers saddle is at 50+ level

They currently cannot but like if the ark devs should make the beavers spacial ability so that you can make your own dam if you have lots of beavers

They’re awesome for wood I got 300 wood for a single tree with one of these guys

Imagine harvesting a redwood tree!

These things pack a lot of damage and can easily shred most armor. Whatever you do, don’t fight them in water as they are quite fast.

Remember to always empty the dams even if your not taking everything with you bc they won’t refill and won’t respawn unless they are completely empty

The way to tame these guys is to run up to one of their dams and then open it and then immediately close it (you don’t have to take anything from it, opening the dam will immediately aggravate all and any nearby beavers). Once this step has been done, you must bola the beaver (assuming only one tries to fight). I actually made a hearty mistake and bolaed the first one that came whereas I should’ve killed the second first (I was making a video, the second one got killed). Once the beaver is bolaed and separated from its mates, go behind it where it can’t hit you and hit it with a bat until you knock it out, but before doing any of these either kill jellyfish for bio-toxin for torpor (the beaver’s torpor will drain quickly) or farm a bunch of narcoberries in preparation. These guys are herbivores so you should also farm other berries besides narcoberries, or gather from the nearby forests. Keep in mind that beavers EXTREMELY slow eaters when knocked out, so patience is your weapon here.

Don't be fooled by the looks, these guys are a lot stronger than raptors

Kill the low male for pelt

Trap all females for beavrs for beaver dams and lots of wood and cementing paste

Tame high males for wood gathering

Up for more tips

These are great alternatives to theris for gathering wood because the argy can pick them up you can also build a pen in water and drop them into it with argy to make a dam farm

In ark mobile it says to get some mejoberries, IGNORE IT. YOULL BE SITTING AND GUARDING FOR HOURS. Crops take long enough, Castaroides pursuit, you are cruel!

These mfs lose torpor so fast like chill i am just trying get sm wood
