Tips & Strategies

What are tips for castoroides? Tips and strategies for castoroides in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Still new to the game I did a lot of research and ended up developing a building strategy. I tame a beaver, a moose, and an armadillo and fill each to cap. I then park them in a semi circle like work trucks.
Pump atk, weight, and a bit of health and I don't touch the rest. While I have no doubt that this little bugger could make it out in the world that's why I have a rex and a spino.
Also while fastish on land they really gain speed in water. Not a super water tame, but if you need to cross a river or island hop they're better than swimming yourself.
U need much More narcotics then it Shows. Omg.. I forced Some into it. Left it shortly and when i came back it woked up already and my narcotics were lost -_- great. So dont Do this misstake! :/
When Tamjng let torpor reach 10% then shove 1stk of narcotics in his mouth will keep the torpor up for a very long time
I reccomend building a taming pen 6x2 with doorframes around it... And then go to tbe beaver spawns. Pick one up with you argentavis, (yes you can pick it up with an argent) and bring it back to your taming pen. Tranq it with arrows or longneck rifle and feed it some gallimimus kibble. Make sure you keep an eye on the torpor because it drains pretty fast. After that enjoy your perfectly tamed beaver.
If speed is leveled right they can be outpaced; they can be snared with a bola and knocked out or shot with tranq arrows through a 2x2x2 pen with open windows and a ramp to trap the castoroides to prevent carnivores from getting at it. Torpor goes down quick so a lot of narcotics and/or biotoxin is needed, if you can’t make their kibble use crops. I use starve tame because their food goes up relatively quick unless you allow it to go down for a while. Dedicated taming process, but worth it. My two beavers Frost and Char just had a baby, and unlike other dinos they gestate inside the mother instead of hatch from an egg. And they are mobile smithys
The owner of killer the raptor don't worry I just liked to kill them for fun for pelt now I have 2 reasons to kill them
Can be easily tamed using crops or berries
Get x10
Balm
Find catro
Twanq it
Use the balm
Feed rock carrot
Boom
When taming, shoot from a distance so you can get 2 or 3 tranqs in them and then they’ll run from you. Chase after them while shooting and it makes taming so much easier. Have lots of narcotics ready though
when you find these sons of female dogs look for their friends before you decied to knoke this female dog out very mean bevers :(
The dex is a little off if it says no narcotics needed narcotics are definitely needed.
