Quick answer:<\/strong> To tame a Castoroides in ARK Survival Ascended you knock it out with tranquilizers and feed it Superior Kibble (its favorite) or, without kibble, Vegetables or Mejoberries. A level 150 one needs 11 Superior Kibble, about 119 Narcotics and roughly 42 minutes at official 1x rates; on Tharyon, with 8x taming, 2 kibble and about 8 minutes are enough.<\/p>\n

The Castoroides is a giant beaver and one of the best wood gatherers in the game. It carries wood, thatch, fiber and stone at half weight and its saddle doubles as a smithy. Raiding its dams also gives wood, Cementing Paste and Silica Pearls.<\/p>\n

How to tame a Castoroides step by step<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Prepare Superior Kibble or lots of Vegetables or Mejoberries, and plenty of Narcotics.<\/li>\n
  2. Draw it out of the water: in water it is fast and dangerous. On land it climbs poorly, so high ground keeps you safe.<\/li>\n
  3. Pin it with a bola and fire tranquilizers in quick succession until it drops.<\/li>\n
  4. Add only the food you want it to eat and give Narcotics often, because its torpor falls quickly.<\/li>\n
  5. Stay close until the end to protect it from predators.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Castoroides taming food and taming calculator<\/h2>\n

    These numbers come from ARK’s taming formula for a level 150 Castoroides. The 1x column is the official rate and the 8x column is Tharyon’s rate. They are estimates: hitting the sleeping creature or a game patch can change them slightly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

    A level 150 Castoroides has about 3479 torpor. With the amounts in the table you usually do not need narcotics on Tharyon, but bring a few in case it takes longer than expected.<\/p>\n

    Where to find the Castoroides in ARK Ascended<\/h2>\n

    It lives in inland rivers and lakes, almost always next to a Giant Beaver Dam, where they often spawn in pairs. On Fjordur it is found in Midgard and Asgard. If you see a log dam in a river, the beaver is nearby.<\/p>\n

    Official ARK Survival Ascended maps where it spawns: The Island, The Center, Ragnarok, Extinction, Valguero, Genesis: Part 1, Lost Island.<\/p>\n
