What are tips for castoroides? Tips and strategies for castoroides in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Dododex needs to update this. The castoroide can be Carried by an Argentavis. I just carried one using an Argentavis to my base to tame.
Eassyy wood hack, build a triangular pen with 3 STONE dino dino gateway and reinforced doors on each of them( make sure they are stone so as to take zero damage from beaver raging)
lead beavers into them (personally I used a argy to carry them in), and wah lah free wood and precious resource once in awhile
Make sure u leave enough space for u to fit thru to access its nest.
DO NOT TAME THEM, tamed beavers don’t produce nests
The wild beavers don’t have to be near a water body to produce nest btw, I have 2 wild beavers trapped on a hill far from river and they still produce fine.
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.
A beaver can kill a sarco single handed.
Dude… I just wanted mushrooms. Don’t hide cool stuff in your den if you don’t want me to steel it!
You can steal there stuff on mobile by tapping and holding on the dam and double tapping the item and pressing transfer
this creature can take on sarcho capro titanoboa and many more even a spino or carno if you alot of them dont hurt a single beaver.
A 270 one killed a 280 mantis on it’s own
I once had a Rex (forgot what level) and I took it over to the dams in valguero and it nearly Died to beavers.
I literally just used a bow and arrow, some tranqs and kept running backwards while shooting it leading it away from the water.
This little rodent is one of the best harvesters. They can harvest plenty of wood and thatch, berries, etc.. they also have excellent weight. They have decent melee damage, and here is how to get your own.
1. Make the kibble on whatever device your on.
2. Find this very big beaver. They are found around rivers and build dams.
3. Knock it out with tranq darts
4. Feed the kibble and a bunch of berries (use bio toxin to keep unconscious)
5. If tamed, put the saddle on it and take it home.
6, extra information. Wild castorodies have a chance to have black pearls! But be careful, looking in their dam inventory makes them Argo.
There’s only four places on the island they can spawn (check the Dododex creature map) but if you go there you’ll always find some.
I saw two of them kill a sarcho
