[kazzar]

I just tried taming some wolfs and i got 3 in one run but when i was just about to go down the mountain with the a drake showed up and one shotted them all.

Are you using standard difficulty settings? Any mods?

No mods but setting are adjusted for a little easier progression

No star wolves have 80 health. A drake does 90 frost damage. So yeah, its possible if the wolves are right next to each other when they get hit.

Drakes hit like 215 on the wolf
Just saw a grayling til 1/4 of my no star wolfs health in 1 hit

Unfortunately, tames get attacked by stuff in their own biomes. Gotta protect them. Put a ceiling on their enclosure.

Drakes can do a lot of damage on unstarred stuff :( Tamed (with a mod), they are unfortunately useless.

That sounds like a bug. Wolves aren't weak to cold and 215 would one shot you too. Which, in my experience, doesn't happen unless you neglected your food or don't have your equipment on.

Each shot from a drake may do 90, but there are several shots in a salvo- if the drake was close to the wolf it may well hit with more than one of the shots.

I recommend breeding tamed wolves in a covered pit on the mountain till you have 4, and only then try to take 2 of them down the mountain. Take the shortest route to the easiest surrounding terrain thats available. Avoid swamps at all costs. Run the proposed route alone first to clear any drakes or golems along the way so its safe for the wolves, and once you've cleared it go get the wolves immediately to minimize respawn chances. This way if something bad happens you still have 2 back in the covered pen to breed from rather than having to start all over again. Make sure the pit is too deep for a golem to strike them, and make sure the roof is fully covered and you leave the door closed.

I personally make a second pit just far enough that they dont interfere with each others breeding cap and move the 2 adults from the first pen into it immediately after the second cub is born and start breeding them there too. Two pens is extra safety on your backups, and its faster meat and hide production which you may need/want.
