If you are hunting these dudes shoot it from far away then when it gets close use a pike to finish it off I suggest you have good armor and a crossbow
Castoroides
Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Castoroides in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
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
If you wanna tame theese guys, make sure you have tranq arrow berries or crops. shoot them with a bow or cross bow on a rock or something until unconcios because ive seen theese guys kill a sarco, feed it berries or crops OR kibble. And you have a beaver! (i think ;))))) )
I was just sailing around on my newly built raft when I came across a beaver dam I look inside don’t take anything and two seconds later on beaver is mauling me I ran inside my raft closed the door look out the window think I’m safe then the beaver starts attacking me…
I was just sailing around on my newly built raft when I came across a beaver dam I look inside don’t take anything and two seconds later on beaver is mauling me I ran inside my raft closed the door look out the window think I’m safe then the beaver starts attacking me through the floor so I start to sail away go to a different part of the island to chop some trees then I see the beaver is back and is pissed we fight I win but I go back to my raft and it’s half gone. DO NOT mess with these guys they will hunt you down like the guy from Taken.
These guys make dams where you can get reasources like cementing paste but upon interacting with the dam they will try to kill you but make sure you take everything so it respawns.
If you leave anything they wont make more dams
BOLAS, bolas make the knocking out part very easy simply throw it on them get behind them and then smack them with a bat, But make sure you have a lot of biotoxin because they’re unconsciousness go down at an insane rate
It took an hour to tame ONE! ONE I SAY! It took 69 tranqs and a few games dying. Pls like in memory of baby paraceraithium
My Justin Beaver is half way done, Started with 107 Narcotics and I'm form to 57 and the torpor is going down so fast as I type this! JERRY GET THE NARCOTICS
Increase damage only and bring mammoths to carry the wood
Put them on wandering in a box and that will make a dam
Bring atleast double the recommended amount of narcotic items, trust me
On Ark Mobile, they will even build dams on land far away from water and without a fence/pen. I used an argy to carry wild ones from a distant area to an area near my base. I now have over 20 wild ones wandering around making dams all over.
You could capture wild castoroides and put them in damming pens, and if you do, put them in half water half land pens. They will dam better like that. If you put more beavers in the same pen, they will, again, dam faster. This makes a good cementing paste farm, but will also…
You could capture wild castoroides and put them in damming pens, and if you do, put them in half water half land pens. They will dam better like that. If you put more beavers in the same pen, they will, again, dam faster. This makes a good cementing paste farm, but will also give wood, silica pearls, rare flowers, and rare mushrooms. This is quite a bit of work though. If you're not into it or don't have enough resources or a good bird, you could just find an area( most likely in or near water) that beavers are around and passively build dams. When you check them, destroy them. Resources don't respawn in the same dam they already were in to the best of my knowledge. P.S. If you tame a beaver, there is no way to let build a dam ( I've tried ?)
These creatures are found usually in packs, I would suggest picking it up with an argy or queztal then bringing it back to your base and taming it.
If you want a dam farm builde a 8×8 stone doorframe trap and put in 2+ beaver and then you have a beaver dam farm (you can get rare mushrooms/flower wood cement paste and silica pearl)
Get A crab
Get 2 beavers
Dual Wielding wood gatherers
According to some people “ you can passive tame with wood”, No. it doesn’t work. You have to knock it out.
Hit with beaver tree collected with beaver get wood with beaver = Happy bob
If u move a wild 1 away from spawn an put in trap they will build more dams currently got 4 wild 1s in trap around every 30 minute to hour there's a new dam collect the stuff wait an pops up another couple of dams
Wanna see me get 5k wood?.. wanna see me do it again?
