Taming animals in Enshrouded can seem like a task when you don’t know where to start. Let us help you figure out the right way.
When it comes to taming animals in Enshrouded, things get a little complicated. The action RPG doesn’t give you an elaborate tutorial on taming a creature so you can keep it as a pet or a farm animal.
However, there are quite a few animals that you can domesticate for your own purposes. It all starts with you talking to the Farmer at your base. You can create different baits here. Animals have specific baits that you need to create before finding them in the wild.
Once you get that certain bait, head to a location where your desired animal is usually found. Now, follow the given steps carefully:
- Crouch and throw the bait in front of the animal to distract it. As it is busy eating, stay crouched and approach the animal slowly.
- A question mark icon will pop up in a circle above its head. Stop in your tracks when it does. It’s nothing alarming. The animal is just curious and is noticing you. The icon has a timer that will fade away soon if you stop as soon as it shows up.
- Eventually, after a few times, a yellow heart icon will start blinking above the animal. Stay crouched and go next to the animal to pet it. The heart will instantly stop flashing and turn into a stable red heart instead. Some animals will be tamed by now, while others may require you to repeat the steps.
- If the animal you are trying to tame doesn’t show the pick-up prompt, the steps need to be repeated. Get out of its line of sight immediately. Don’t jump or run though, you’ll startle it even more.
- We do this to avoid the exclamation mark, which shows up in the place of the question mark and starts filling up. Stay crouched and hide where the animal can’t see you directly.
- Slowly check the waters and make sure the exclamation mark is replaced by the question mark by throwing the bait again. If you are taming a cat, you may need to repeat the steps three times, and it will be yours to pick up.
Take Care of Your Tamed Animals in Enshrouded
Once you have picked up the animals, bring them back to your base. Your journey with them doesn’t stop here. Players are required to actively care for their domesticated furry friends.
When you put an animal in its habitat at your base, two icons can pop up on top of it. One is for sleep and the other for food. All you have to do is provide these to them.
Go to the farmer and grab the animal-specific beds, plates, and food. Place the same number of beds as there are animals. The same goes for the food plates.
Now, if you have food present in your inventory, just interact with the plate and enter the amount you wish to add. Farm animals like goats will provide you with resources. However, pets like cats will only follow you around. They only offer cuteness in return. This wraps up our guide on how to tame animals in Enshrouded.
