How do I kill a castoroides? castoroides battling strategies in ARK: Survival Evolved.
Me favorite way to loot the dams without dying is to get a high weight argie and put it right next to a dam then stay in the middle so you can access both from where you stand go into the dam the beavers won’t get mad until you take stuff then transfer all get on your argie and fly up fast. Also the beavers can’t fly. Then fly somewhere high up and drop the wood and do it again if you want the wood I would store it because if your Argie gets encumbered you can only lift of the ground and they will wait for you to run out of stamina and you’ll die I suggest having a weight of 1k just to be safe.
I found an albino beaver before
BEFORE you decide to take items out of the beaver dam, make sure you have enough weight levels on you.
Nothing like taking 800 wood and 430 cement pace, then not being able to move while you’re getting attacked!
Digging into their dams is worth supplies, until you have to tell your friends you were killed by an angry beaver.
To empty a Beaver dam(always completely empty to allow more to spawn), open Iventory of dam, then immediately close it and jump on a semi quick tame(preferably a bird). The beavers will now follow u anywhere. Lead them far away, or over a ledge then return and empty tha dam. *this has to be done for each individual dam.
If you ever encounter a casteroids around, there is likely a dam nearby( it looks like a tent made of sticks). They contain lots of wood, cementing paste, and rare ingredients and resources(silica pearls, rare flowers and mushrooms). However, make sure you get rid of the beavers first, since they become aggressive if you loot the dam.
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!!!!
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
These creatures are very touchy about their stuff. Just take a naughty peek into their dams sometime, you'll see.
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
On fjordur you can find regular dams all over Asgard! No more suffering through that giant beaver den in deinonychus territory!
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.
A 270 one killed a 280 mantis on it’s own
Take a flying dino.
whistle it to follow, take the dam then ride the flying bird and fly away.
A quetzal is recommended if u take the wood too
My first tip lol
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.
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)
Use a grappeling hook to repel from your argy ...play mission impossible theme...profit
If you want to get the resources from the dams these guys build then what I usually do is get one of my bigger dinos (Bronto or Diplo) bc they can carry a lot and I go rly close to the dam with my dino and open the dam to gey the resources and quickly get on my dino and run back to my bace, where I have a wall of spikes to keep bad dinos away , and now you have more resources, lost no health and an other use for your big dinos. Op if this helped:)

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
Dude… I just wanted mushrooms. Don’t hide cool stuff in your den if you don’t want me to steel it!
