What are tips for castoroides? Tips and strategies for castoroides in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Bring a HELLA LOT OF BIO TOXINS they’re much more effective than narcotics
Use trang arrow,feed it with rockcarrots if you don’t have enough kibble,rockcarrots works better than mejoberries on this animal,i’ve tried,i only used 11 rockcarrots
Dododex is wrong! They actually CAN be carried by an argentavis!
Wiki.is wrong. The preffered food for P+ might be cash milk, cashews next. It does not eat suger
They are able to be picked up by an argy
Can be carried by argys, so drop in a pen and nail it with arrows near your base
Need tons of nacodics, needed just under 200 for my 89.
If you have it on a quetz and you line up the caatoroides close enough to a tree and dismount the quetz, it’ll collect the wood for you
When taming I recommend killing other low levels before knocking it out. Also, when using tranqs run a short distance on land then turn and shoot if you do not want to be attacked.
Get a raft with a 4x4 room at least and open a dam to get them mad. Then drive the raft into them and sometimes they will glitch inside the room, perfect for singling off beavers when you don’t have an argie.
Just because u can't ride one doesn't make them worthless! Take him to a group of trees and set him to wander and he will harvest them for you, this is better than a metal hatchet for wood if you level his melee, I would tame one the moment I unlocked tranq arrows to make setting up a base easy!
For anyone having trouble with these guys (they do but pretty hard), use a bola or argy drop them into a pen. The bola works well for low levels. You will only get about 8 shots off with a snow, so bring extra bola for higher level tames.
Use kibble if you got it, very long tame and as stated, very very fast tupor drop.
Got one last night and he died after a lovely troodon attack...anyway its not fun taming these guys torpor drops ungodly fast so understand while taming him youll be staring at him 90% of the time instead of doing other things. They are unreal with wood gathering mine had 400 weight points and i have a stego with over 600 yet this guy literally carried at least 3x what my stego could. Theyre quick on land and amazingly fast underwater. Ps kibble is a must and you need way more narcos than what this app says i used close to 400 i believe for a lvl 20
If you have a base at the hidden lake that isn’t blocking spawns, they are regulars around there. I got my first one there, still haven’t got to saddle level though
Beavers when killed give you an odd amount of pelt good for beginners who can make a cage and lour them in then shoot them with bow. Also when you tame a beaver you may set it on wandering and it collects wood for you
I find best to tranq dart and starve tame and i will say buying kibble or making it is worth it. Gallimimus kibble this can saive an hour or two. If you're looking for one go south zone and where there is a beaver dan there is usually a beaver. Quickly grab the stuff from the beaver dam this will agro the casteroides . Either pick it up with an argie or run and shoot. I havent actually tested a bola on them but they look small enough, good luck. Its a high reward after taming these B- Gates werre times easier
