What are tips for castoroides? Tips and strategies for castoroides in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
It can take a while to tame, so make sure you bring it to a safe area. DO NOT LEAVE IT ALONE. You should probably sit there and watch the torpidity and feed it narcoberries or narcotics accordingly.(I gathered 400 berries and 50 narcotics, mine was level 38- Note that i didnt need this much, but be prepared anyways)
To knock it out, use something to bring it out of its group, maybe kill the group, but i personally used an argentavis to carry it out (it wont agro) then once in a safe spot, knock it out (i used bola and a crossbow) make sure its a safe spot, cause if you want to tame this, you arent leaving it for a SECOND. I gave it about 300 mejoberries, which was overkill, but i was worried. I now own one of these silly guys, and im going to build a huge wall.
Don't kill these for pelt, it's a waste. Raid their dams and they will build more (just be ready to run immediatly!). Better to use them for endless cp.

Do not engage if you are low level with bad weapon they will wreck your day
I found one and bolad it and tranqed it like normal and it’s health started going down like crazy. This was my first time ever trying to tame one and sadly it died😭. I think it should have lived
How to tame a castoroides, easy! As long as you have an argie.
Step 1: Find the beaver on your argie.
Step 2: Pick up said beaver.
Step 3: Make a trap, any mats. One foundation, and four doorframes.
Step 4: Drop beaver in. (Note: Might be a bit difficult to get the beaver in.)
Step 5: Tranq the beaver. (Oh and make sure you have berries. Lots of berries.)
Now, use your preferred taming method, and there you go!
It was a not a good day when I found my first one
if you don't have a powerful Dino, bolas work a wonder, just be careful if you run away, these things in water can match a megalodon tit for tat
Not very strong but wanna get the stuff in their dam? I'd say leave every thing home then go over to their dam. Take everything then drop the heaviest thing (typically the wood) and a. Run or b. If your near your house let them kill you. Then go back and get the stuff from your inventory, then grab a dino or 2 and get the wood. Both works for me
I just drop this guy in some woods right by my house that are carnivore free other than some dilos and i set him on wander (and attack target in case he needs to defend himself) and he just hobbles around collecting wood for me. Then I go pick him up with my argey and drop him by a storage box in my base then I just quickly transfer the wood and thatch and put him back to keep harvesting!

Lots of beavers spawn in the south of the island near herbivore island.
But if u want a specific level you’ll have to kill the bad ones and wait for the level u want. (Near the rock island)
HOPE THIS HELPED!
Well I use this trick to tame all dinos and it works 98% of the times . Okay first tame a tapejara make a saddle and ride it when you see one of those guys go a little high and change your seat keep in mind your tapejara will automatically land on the ground if you change your seat to close to the ground . And I think you know what to do next , just tranq them and berries or vegetables feed them and keeping necrotic or bio toxin or else you just wasted all your effort and start celebrating when you tame it rather than celebrating when they are sleep cuz they wake up fast
Don’t try to kill it unless you have good weapons
If you destroy a nest/dam run these will murder you and you entire family if they take you by suprise
In early game if attacked do not fight back with if unprepared
Place a stone foundation with doorframes around it and a ramp leading to the inside. Open a giant beaver damn and the chase will begin, just go inside the trap and when the castoroide goes up the ramp and falls in the trap exit it and shoot trank arrows at it. If you are taming with mejoberries like I did you will need a lot of narcotics because these thing loose torpor like there is no tomorrow. Once it is tamed demolish the trap and you’ve got yourself one of the best wood harvesters in the game
Great for collecting cementrical past
These guys are relentless! They will chase you like you own them money if you open the inventory of their dams. Your best option is to take everything in the dam and let yourself die and come back for the loot.
