Taming

[Zieg]

Change it completely, its horrible. The worst method to tame an animal ingame i have ever seen.

[Galadhlinn]

100% agree.

[ThomasARK]

you've got a really limited set of experiences apparently

[Zieg]

worst than ark and valheim at least lol

i don't understand what problems some people have with taming.

1. Slowly approach an animal.
2. When it shows the yellow question mark you throw the bait.
3. When the yellow heart is pulsing you sneak nearer (best from behind)
4. When it shows the yellow circle with the question mark or the red exclamation mark, you withdraw until these disappear
5. When the yellow heart is pulsing again you sneak nearer
6. Pet the animal (or repeat 4 if the yellow circle appears again)
7. Repeat 1-6 until all hearts are red and pick up the animal.

Most important: be patient!

People don't read whats in front of them on the screen and just rush and do it then come here and complain.

except when i pet cat, it tells me to back off and it immediately Gets an "!" and restarts. you have about 2 seconds to hide after petting before it fills and restarts.

? Don't withdraw with the question mark, just stop moving.
! Only withdraw with the exclamation point

This.
And I find it very helpful to take care of all the enemies in the area beforehand, even the friendly rat in the basement of the house next door.

I really enjoy taming in Enshrouded. I think it's a very well done and intuitive mini-game, but you will need to be patient.

For the impatient among us, the options allow you to choose whether to lose your taming progress (default) or keep it.

As always, have fun!

Cats are tricky and just a finicky in game as they can be IRL. They also tend to get stuck on debris and anything that may be around if they are near it. Terrain changes also makes them more difficult to Tame. Taming them also gets all wonky if there are tables, chairs, or anything else they can walk under. The variations can "bug" them a bit so that no matter what you do, the red question mark comes up and prevents the taming.

Your best bet with a cat is to tame them in an open area or 2. If a room can be cleared out 100% before your start the attempt, WITHOUT scaring them off so some other damnable location, you'll have a better time of it.

Always make sure your backside is clear enough to back away and not bump into anything or get stuck on debris, furniture, terrain, or anything else. That way you can keep an eye on the cat the entire time.

I'm not saying that the efforts make it easy. I'm only saying that the efforts help make the situation better and smoother.

Oh and there's a six heart cat out there as well. Good Luck!

taming in enshrouded is a million times easier than ARK is and more reliable as well , plus you dont have to worry about doing it a certain way to get the best from taming. taming is easy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you dont have to chase them down oand knock them out or use a gun if your high enough level like in ark..then sit there and feed them for however long it takes , some take awhile longer than taming in enshrouded. enshrouded taming is so easy if you show a little patience , it took two try's for the first cat but only once after that. you cant rush it.

I agree. No part of this taming mechanic is even slightly enjoyable. It's an exercise in frustration from beginning to unsatisfying end.

It might suck less if the bait actually lured them from a distance, so I could pick my spot, but having to throw it in the animal's line of sight and NOT providing a target on the ground where I want it to land, makes a poor experience even worse. Add to that the lost bait that rolls down the mountainside while trying to tame a goat and what you have is a mechanic in need of a complete overhaul.

Oh, and if I have to stop crouching to jump over the terrain (or am forced into a standing position because I stepped off of a ledge shorter than knee-height) the whole thing resets? Are you out of your ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ mind, or just a sadist?

[PaPaKat]

ive tamed everything on the first attempt ( except the first cat ) so i dont know the complications your talking about never had them , take enough bait pick your spot not the first one you see , and take your time---several goats in starting area to tame and on level ground. there is usually level ground with animals on them to tame you dont have to do it on a mountain side.

[D_Bear85]

Came looking for this. My issue is the cat always spawns in some kind of corner facing me and wont move. Usually half inside a wall. To hell with taming the cats, I'll stroke my real life cats instead

[Sgt.JESUS]

Some good advice here, i didnt know you could just stand still when the question mark shows up, thought i had to retreat to a safe distance, that will speed things up.
