How to Tame a Wolf in Icarus Update

     Wolves are among the most intriguing creatures in the Icarus update. Taming them not only grants you a loyal companion but also adds depth to your survival experience.

 

 

 

Set Up the Ranching Station

 

     Before you can tame a wolf, you need to craft the necessary tools. Head to the Ranching Station and craft the following:

 

     1. A snare trap to capture the wolf.

 

     2. Wolf bait, designed to attract wolves specifically.

 

 

     The Ranching Station is the foundation of your taming process. Make sure you have ample resources and space to craft what you need.

 

 

 

Locate a Wolf Habitat

 

     Wolves are most commonly found in forest biomes or, on Prometheus, in the Wild Woods. Travel to these areas and scout for wolves. Be mindful of their behavior - they are territorial and will attack if provoked.

 

 

     Place the snare trap in an open area where wolves are likely to wander. Avoid areas with high predator activity, as other animals may interfere with the process.

 

 

 

Place the Bait

 

     Once the snare trap is in position, place the wolf bait on it. The bait emits an aroma that attracts wolves. Be patient and keep your distance, as the wolf needs to approach the trap on its own. If a wolf is chasing you, it won’t engage with the trap.

 

 

 

     When a wolf steps onto the snare trap, it will be captured. You’ll see an indicator confirming the capture. Now, your task is to start the taming process.

 

 

 

 

Feed the Wolf

 

     To tame the wolf, feed it by placing small or medium animal carcasses near the trap. Ensure the carcasses are close enough for the wolf to reach. The taming process requires:

 

     1. At least three carcasses, such as deer or rabbits.

 

     2. A safe distance from you and other threats, including other animals you may have tamed.

 

     The taming process can take 20-30 minutes. While waiting build a shelter near the trap to protect yourself and the wolf from storms or other predators. Regularly check the taming progress. Sneak up to avoid scaring the wolf.

 

 

     If scavengers like bears or other wolves appear, eliminate them to ensure they don’t steal the bait or harm the wolf.

 

 

Claim Your Tamed Wolf

 

     Once the taming process is complete, the wolf will no longer be hostile. Approach it and press the interaction key to claim ownership. Your new companion will now follow your commands and assist you in various tasks.

 

 

     Wolves come with unique skills and talents. For instance, the Rip and Tear talent enhances the wolf’s combat abilities. Train your wolf by feeding it and using Omni Animal Feed to keep it healthy and level up its skills.

 

 

 

Tips for Successful Wolf Taming

 

     1. Place a roof over the snare to protect the wolf from storms and predators.

 

     2. Use bait crafted at the Ranching Station for better results.

 

     3. Avoid killing prey too close to the trapped wolf, as stray arrows may harm it.

 

     4. Don’t attempt to tame multiple wolves simultaneously unless you have enough resources and hunters.

 

     Taming a wolf in the Icarus update is a rewarding experience that adds a layer of companionship and utility to your gameplay. With the right preparation, patience, and care, you’ll have a loyal ally to assist in your adventures. Follow these steps, and soon enough, you’ll have your very own wolf companion in the wild world of Icarus.
