How to Tame in Enshrouded: Back to the Shroud Update

 

    

 

Unlocking the Taming Mechanic

 

     First things first, to tame beasts in Enshrouded, you’ll need to dive into the Beast Master skill tree. This is crucial because, without the right perks, you won’t get the chance to turn those wild foes into your buddies. Start by investing in the Beast Master skills. You'll need to unlock Vukah Language and Calm Spirit. Here’s the scoop:

 

     - Vukah Language: This skill lets you interact with specific creatures, like the Vukah, ensuring they don’t attack you on sight.

 

     - Calm Spirit: This one’s key! It pacifies wild animals within a 50-meter radius, making them less aggressive unless provoked.

 

    

 

Taming Your Beast

 

     Once you’ve got these skills, you can begin taming. Approach an animal that you’ve pacified with Calm Spirit. You’ll need to avoid attacking any beasts within a 50-meter range of the one you want to tame. If you’re in a zone where other animals are nearby and you start a fight, you could end up with a whole heap of trouble.

 

     Here’s how to go about it:

 

     1. Find Your Target: Look for an animal you want to tame. Avoid other aggressive beasts in the vicinity.

 

    

     2. Interact: Stand close to the animal and press the interact button (usually "E"). You’ll see an option to start guarding.

 

    

     3. Set to Guard: Once you’ve selected “Start Guarding,” the beast will follow you around and defend you from threats.

 

    

 

Limitations and Best Practices

 

     While taming adds a cool layer to your gameplay, there are some important limitations:

 

     - Only One at a Time: You can only have one beast guarding you at any given time. If you want to switch to a different creature, you'll need to dismiss your current one.

 

     - No Homecoming: Unfortunately, your tamed beast can't come home with you. They’re only useful in the field.

 

     - Limited Types: Some creatures, like dragons, scorpions, and spiders, can’t be tamed or used as guardians. Stick to wolves, sabertooths, and other available beasts.

 

 

Combat with Your Tamed Beast

 

 

     One of the coolest aspects of having a tamed beast is its combat ability. Here’s how you can make the most out of it:

 

     - Fight with Finesse: If you’re in a tough spot, use your beast to handle enemies. They’ll fight alongside you, and you’ll earn XP and loot from their kills.

 

     - Avoid Friendly Fire: Be careful not to attack your tamed beast by accident. If you do, it’ll become hostile and may end up fighting against you.

 

    

     Tamed beasts can also assist in hunting. They will track and attack prey, making your life a bit easier. If you spot a target while crouched, your beast will spring into action. This feature is particularly useful for gathering resources and leveling up.

 

     Taming in Enshrouded’s Back to the Shroud Update is an exhilarating way to enhance your gameplay. With the right skills and a bit of strategy, you can turn wild creatures into powerful allies. Remember, though, that this feature is still evolving as the game develops. Enjoy the thrill of having a loyal beast by your side and make the most out of every adventure!
