What is a castoroides used for? castoroides battling strategies 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.
Can be used as a smithy when you have its saddle equipped recommended to because it doesn't have a slot limit and can be encumbered and still used as one the only down side to this is it needs food so plop down a feeding troth near it and ta da. Don't forget it will poop so be ready with a mop.
Okokokok so these things are GREAT! the saddle serves as smithy, they collect wood, fiber and thatch EXTREMELY well(not as good as a few other dinos but you get my point), and they are an early-game tame(although saddle is 61, it is still useful before then)and are still good in mid to late game! I would suggest taking one of these as fast as possible.
