Here is how to tame a beaver
1. Bola it
2. Club it
3. Feed it
There you go now you have a beaver
Around the dam areas there are lots
I went to a dam to get cementing paste and had about 24 chasing me
It’s easy to attack one in a pteranodon and then lure them all down a cliff or something to steal their cementing paste
Trapped a lvl 140 surrounding it with stone pillars. Took about 12-14 tranq darts with journey man longneck. After starve taming around 40 minutes and 125 narcotics later, it was time to feed it. I used exceptional kibble, one tier above superior kibble. It ate 10 of them and bam got me a 199 after tame. Health 3060, Stam 648, weight 438, melee 256. Not bad for my first casteroid.
Note! Torpor drain is insanely high!!! I brought 200 narcotics just in case.
Ok so I was gonna tame one of these little badger dudes, and I had this big prep time and all that, then it was time... I grabbed one with my argy and tranqed it out away from its little badger friends. I put in a 10x balm and gallimimus kibble (I’m on mobile btw) and, after all that prep, it was tamed in about ten seconds! A breeze if u have 10x balm :)
I saw one of these kill A Baryonyx. Do not under any circumstances take the stuff from its dam. Itll kill you and your pets.
For ppl who are too lazy to make kibble like me find a jellyfish and kill it then use the bio toxin to keep it knocked out
So try and knock it out (this might take a while) feed it berries. But if you don’t bring any narcotics it will wake up. (This creature is in packs. So try to knock one and kill one but the downside is this creatures torpor will drain faster than any other. Be careful)!
I stole some mushrooms flowers and cementing paste they came and killed derik the dilo I swore revenge I killed them all
Carry about 50 narcotics aside from the darts so you don’t have to harvest berries. Tame alone or build foundations doorframes w/o doors and tame. Be careful for others around.
I have my base on an island, surrounded by land usually filled with terror birds, brontos, raptors, rexes, gallilimuses, but also beavers. Gallilimuses, pteradactyls and beavers will hang out at my island. The beavers make their dams on my island and i have a very easy way of getting the stuff:
1. take off all your armor so the beavers dont break it.
2. Make sure there is a bed or something nearby.
3. Turn your tames on passive so they dont attack the beavers.
4. Take the stuff in the beavers' dam.
5. Let the beavers kill you.
6. Respawn and get your stuff back. The beavers wont get mad if you take it from your own inventory
7. Turn your tames back on whatever mode they were on and boom. All done.
Super easy! And you even get some free meat from your corpse
I’m reading these tips and y’all are saying they are dangerous, I let a wild one roam through my house and around my tamed Dino’s and nothing happened, I realize how bad this could have ended
Narcotics estimate is incorrect.
Don’t let these guys hit you, try to lead them away before getting paste. They SHRED your armor.
If you so much as look inside their dams, they will attack you. Even if you don’t take anything.
If you want to tame these at a high level bring crops or kibble. They are disgusted by mejoberries.
