Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a castoroides? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a castoroides.
If taming, watch the torpor rate EVERY SECOND and use Bio Toxin. Torpor drain rate RIVALS even the Therizinos’. Pro taming tip. Only use bio toxin when taming. Tame stuff with narcs ONLY when you have a narcoberry farm, and a crap ton of meat on your carnivorous tames. I only use narcotics for crafting tranq darts and tranq arrows. There are a crap ton of Cnidaria on South Zone 3.
Tame one and let the hairy, wet, and good with wood beaver jokes commence.
If you can make the kibble.
They take so long to tame even with crops the increase is 1%
And torpor drains ridiculously fast. I’ve lost 4 now trying to get to my base trying to get more narcotics
These guys are easy to tame with a soothing balm. Im a beginner and just started a new game and im in the early 20's of the game. I had completed a pursuit before for killing piranhas, and as a reward i got a sotting balm. I was going to use it to tame a high level raptor, but it didnt work out. But since i heard that these beavers do dams, i wanted to tame one. I went after a 110 level female, and it took about 10 tranqs in the head. I boloed it and shot it in the head. I gave it the soothing balm and then gave it about 30 rockarrots at most. With the soothing balm, i suggest about at least 50 Narcotics. I used about 30, but if it is higher level, i recommend 50 narcotics. Just stay to guard your beaver and itll be fine if you keep its torpor levels up. I honestly dont know how many narcotics it takes to do without soothing balm but i hope this helped! Also, the coordinates of a safe place to find beavers is Lat:n98, Lon: 58.
Peace, CouchPotatoe
Going for a lvl 70 on hard mode with crops? Get fkn ready. Torpor drains hella fast. Almost 200 bio toxins used already and taming is still at 15%. You use 25 bio toxins on this guy, get back to it in a minute cause torpor bar will be draining already.
2025 Valguero, you can still knock it out in a trap, and let it wake up and the food still drains while it’s up 🙌🏾
Great to tame for the weight reduction, but also less dams will spawn on the map which means less cementing paste.
Try using soothing balm thats a good trick
It’s torp drops incredibly fast , bio toxins work best to keep it sleeping
Bring at least more than 80 narcotics, these guys' torpor goes down at a ridiculous speed
Always use kibble! I tamed a level 150 with pure mejoberries... Had some carrots too, it was an entire afternoon of checking it's torpor. It's nice and all but it doesn't have too good weight. I would get 1000-2000 wood and go back to base fairly unsatisfied. I use mammoths now since they can defend themselves, gather berries as well and hold a TON of wood. I'd rather collect less but hold more than collect more and hold lesd since that just means less trips back to base and a more fullfilling trip each time.
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.
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!
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
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
The best way to tame this beast is to pick it up with a argy and if you have a trap it's very easy to knock out it then feed him carrots and feed him biotoxic
I would suggest that you bola it and trank it fast because I tried bolaing it and punching it and it broke free.
