Discover How to Tame Animals
The recent update for Enshrouded brought so much on the table, the game have added a new map, new sets of armor, and a nasty new boss. Some of the most exciting improvements in this update, are all around animal taming. It’s now finally possible to befriend an animal, create a bond, and even farm them with various in-game materials.
Crafting Bait
The first thing to do is to make the proper bait for taming an animal, which depends on the kind of animal you wish to tame. The recipe for the bait can be seen by interacting with the Farmer NPC or perhaps by getting engaged with Enshrouded’s new NPCs – Assistants.
Choosing the Right Bait for Each Animal
All baits require ingredients; hence, gathering the proper set of things is a must before preparing the bait. Different animals respond in unique ways to each type of bait used in Enshrouded. Here are some classifications of baits and what they require:
| Animal | Bait Name | Ingredients |
|---|---|---|
| Flightless Redtail | Flightless Redtail Food Bait | 1 Bell Pepper, 1 Wheat Grain, 1 Corncob, 1 Dried Purple Berry |
| Fae Deer | Fae Deer Food Bait | 1 Plant Fiber, 1 Milk, 1 Corncob, 1 Forest Beet |
| Hophare | Hophare Food Bait | 1 Forest Beet, 1 Hazelnut, 1 Strawberry, 2 Corncobs |
| Goat | Goat Food Bait | 1 Honey, 3 Plant Fibers, 1 Corncob |
Locating Animals
Once you’ve crafted the bait, locate the animal you wish to tame. Approach the animal carefully by crouching to avoid startling it. Maintaining a low profile ensures the animal remains calm as you prepare for the next steps.
Throwing Bait and Interacting
Throw the bait towards the animal. If a yellow heart appears, it indicates the animal is interested.
However, if you see an question/exclamation mark, it means the animal is wary of your presence. In such cases, turn away from the animal while staying crouched until it shows interest again. Slowly approach the animal, then interact with it.
Finalizing the Taming Process
When the animal shows consistent interest, move close enough to pet it. After a few moments, a red heart will appear, signaling that you have successfully tamed it. You can now pick up the animal and place it in a designated area, such as a farm.
Caring for Your Tamed Animals
Building Shelter
To make sure that the animals are well, create a shelter/house then craft a bed and feeder. You can construct these items by interacting with the Farmer NPC. Providing proper shelter boosts the animal’s happiness and overall health.
Feeding Your Pets
Since every animal needs food, ensure that it is taken care of every day. When not fed, they may become estranged from you and affect their ability to assist in tasks.
Animal Breeding and Material Production
Animals that have good shelters and are fed frequently have a chance to produce offspring that may improve your collection of animals in the long run. Additionally, tamed animals may drop specific materials, such as milk from goats, which can be used for various in-game purposes.
