Check the taming results to see how long it takes to tame the Castoroides, what effectiveness you'll achieve, and how many bonus levels it gains. Better food means better results.

Below is a breakdown of knockout weapon requirements for the Castoroides across various creature levels. Always pace your shots. Torpor takes time to apply, and over-shooting can be lethal.

To simplify the knockout, immobilize the Castoroides first with Bola or Bear Trap. A Argentavis can also pick it up and drop it into a taming pen for a controlled knockout.

The table shows how many sedatives you'll need to keep the Castoroides unconscious through the full taming duration. Your options are Narcotics (40 Torpor), Bio Toxin (80 Torpor, best efficiency), or Narcoberries (7.5 Torpor, cheapest but slowest). The Castoroides bleeds 1.5 Torpor/s, so keep a close eye on the bar and sedate early.

The real-time timers below help you monitor Torpor drain and Food depletion during the tame. Starve taming is recommended for valuable high-level Castoroides: let the Food stat deplete first, then add food. This way nothing is wasted if something goes wrong.
