Taming a dear is one big frustrating job to do.

[Небесний пінгвін]

Tamng boars is easy, you get his aggro, you go to his cell/housing, voila

Deers though...

I just spent a whole ingame day trying to make a deer go 100 meters north, and couldn't do it. In the night the deer escaped because it runs like crazy, and I have no stamina left, considering I had 100-130 of it with food.

Making it move in the direction you need is way too hard! I found that especially true when you need it to move down the hill. It just escapes left or right, never in the direction opposite to your character.

In short, please fix deer AI to be more friendly. It is very hard to chase the deer in one direction.

Thank you!
I thought I was the only one having this problem.
Have you had any luck taming the fish?
I just can't make them cooperate. Slippery little buggers.

They weren't too bad to tame, but they keep flying outta the pen I build for them. Game needs some recoding.

The mechanic for taming boar, wolves, and lox in Valheim is a two-step process. First, one must confine them in some sort of enclosure from which they cannot escape. Then one must provide food and remain in the area while they eat it. These animals are tamed by associating being fed with the presence of a viking.

One does not have to chase feral boar, wolves, or lox into a pen. Since all three animals will attack a viking, it is simple matter of getting them to chase the viking into the pen.

Deer, on the other hand, will invariably flee from a detected viking. They will not chase a viking, one cannot lead them into a pen. Deer must be herded into a pen. Since deer can outrun a viking, this does not work.

If a deer cannit be penned and can outrun a viking there is no way to feed a deer and then maintain the proximity necessary to tame it.

Perhaps Iron Gate Studio will decide to change deer AI to allow herding them. Until is does so, attempting to tame deer is a waste of time.

Hehehe in my first world I had several deer spawned in my inclosed area where i had my behives. But true they cannot be tamed at all. They just run around and look stupid and makes annoying sounds.

The data on taming is inaccurate.

The lox can be tamed in place by sneaking around behind them, I once tamed every lox in a vast Plains area this way. Sneak up behind, throw a stack of cloudberries then stay in sneak nearby.

This is also an excellent way to raise sneak skill.

I'm definitely trying this today.

Taming deathsquitos to get around the map has been challenging and rewarding.

BTW everyone, the bees are happy & ducks have toes. PEACE!

The deer eat the tender leaves off of saplings which is not harvestable by vikings because vikings do no believe that leaves are food. Perhaps the devs should add special gloves to allow us to harvest these so that we can tame the deer.

One of my favourite parks and recs lines......

"Ron, would you like some salad?"
*scoffs* "Since I am not a rabbit, no I do not"

[electricdawn]

Hehe, a tame deathsquito would be the ultimate sniper weapon. Just use it to fly up on an unsuspecting berserker and then... BAAM!

"TRIPLE DAMAGE!"

One dead berserker. :D

That went from "Wow, that's awesome" to "You MONSTER" pretty fast.
