How the taming minigame works
- Walk up to the animal. A green circle appears and a bar shows on the right.
- Hold to raise the red marker and release to let it fall. Keep the marker inside the green zone to fill the yellow progress bar.
- After the minigame you feed the animal its food. Angry faces above its head turn green, and pink hearts mean it is tamed.
- Every stage repeats the minigame and then feeding, so a 5-stage animal needs five rounds.
Pets: what they do
Pets follow you until you die. They attack an enemy only after that enemy has attacked you, and you can have just 2 at a time.
TechWiser says combat pets such as Wolves, Bears and Mammoths protect you better than Bunnies, and the Bunny is the best animal to practise on.
Where to start
Bring bandages, because taming can go wrong. Work up from the easy animals (Bunny, Wolf) to the Bear and Mammoth once your flute is upgraded. Guides are from 2025 to mid 2026 and the game updates often, so check numbers in game.
Quick tips
- Practise on a Bunny: one Carrot, one stage.
- Carry the food for the whole animal before you start: a Mammoth needs 10 Pumpkin and 5 Cake.
- Taming XP raises your flute; upgrade it at the station in the rusty building near camp.
