Tips & Strategies
Why has nobody thought of this, tranq arrows/darts obviously are used to knock Dino’s out, but for the first time I am using it to keep creatures knocked out, my castroid was below 190 torpor, and it filled the 350 torpor completely, I still do not know exactly how much torpor it does to different creatures, but I know 100% sure that it does well over 150 torpor to them, so to the players saying, “I for some reason keep crafting tranq arrows/darts and have 10000s, but do not have bio toxins etc. you can just shoot the creature if it has a high enough health pool. Very useful for Castroids, which decimate any torpor increasing things. I would use method on Giga because it would only take out like 20 health (40 on castroids) and the have a lot and drain torpor.
More Castoroides Taming & KO Tips
If you want the stuff from their dams...don't tame them cause they won't build any more dams!
In Ascended, if you see a high-level female beaver and have an Argy, Rhynio, or any other carrying flier, TAKE IT and drop it in a 2x2 or 2x3 stone taming pen, only 1 wall high. When you leave the area, she’ll spawn beaver babies at her same level (If she already has beaver babies in the wild, they’ll chase after her I believe. Just don’t let them get swallowed up!) Now I have a lvl 100 beaver mom ready for taming, and her three lvl 100 baby beavers will be claimable after she’s tamed!
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.
Why is everyone saying to build a trap? Like come on! Just bola it and shoot with tranq darts!!!
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
