What are tips for castoroides? Tips and strategies for castoroides in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
So I was by a few dams and I decided to raid one so I took some of the stuff and no beaver came so I went back and took more stuff and no beaver came now I’m confused (I’m on ark mobile)
No need to worry that these beavers will drown during taming. Had more then one run out into the water and fall asleep with no bad consequence to the taming.
Can also be carried by Argentavis
Bring many narcotics, i mean A LOT. Don't leave it alone either because the torpor drops faster than a stone in water
When you knock it out just keep in mind that it wakes up fast, but also make sure you kill all the others in the area because they can end up swarming you.
My level 10 was at 92% with full unconscious and woke up. Make sure to guard your beaver and keep watching him
These beavers have become one of my most used "Dino". Their ability to hold wood at 25% weight and stone at 50% weight comes in handy when building. I recommend lvling weight and breeding high lvl beavers. Breeding is very easy. Once they are born and imprinted let them wander around bushes in a protected area. They will passively collect berries to their full weight capacity (full as in once they're grown). This means they are self sufficient even in the baby stage.
I built a base at lake, around the water there are loads of these dino beavers. I went to get the stuff from the dams, while I was doing that heard the beavers attacking me and my argy. We both died. Don’t steal from them they will attack!!!!
Just bola it and and knock it out and feed it carrots .berries take a long time and make sure you have loads and loads of narkotics or narcoberries the torpor goes very fast
Be careful when you get near it, it shreds your armor pretty fast. So don't let it get more than a couple hits on you.
The bad thing about these guys is that once tamed they cannot build any more dams
Pick it up with an argentavis hop off in mid air and shoot the heck out of it, if your argie lands, hop back on and try again
Don't be fooled by the looks, these guys are a lot stronger than raptors
I think they are the cutest creature in Ark.They do the cutest growl
Didn’t see this mentioned so I’ll share so someone else doesn’t panic like I did lol
Always bring some kind of torpor adding substance with you when taming if you don’t have/can’t make the kibble. If you’re taming with crops or berries, you’ll have to add narcotics or narcoberries etc to keep them out because their torpor drains faster than the time they’ll be tamed in. :) I’ve gotten a couple during the summer event now both under level 100 for the neat colors and used over 200 narcotic between the two? 🥴 Don’t remember the first, but used 110 on the level 70 I just tamed while writing this & had 97.5% taming effectiveness. ^_^b
Once you touch their dam or take the stuff, they will chase you till the end of the earth, even if you go away, if you come back they will remember you
Dododex needs to update this. The castoroide can be Carried by an Argentavis. I just carried one using an Argentavis to my base to tame.
If you wanna tame one. Be sure to have citronal and narcotics (LOTS). Probably 120 or more for a level 100 and above. Though if you wanna tame in 40 mins and use 70 narcotics, be happy if you've got 10x soothing balm.😄
