Conan Exiles: How To Tame Animals

Taming allows players to raise some of the most dangerous creatures and resourceful animals into loyal companions that can be utilized for exploration and combat. They can also provide ample protection from raiding and enemy NPCs and creatures wanting to attack your base or clan.

Not all animals and creatures can be tamed, but if you want to become the best Beastmaster, you'll need to learn how taming works. We've detailed in this comprehensive guide how to tame animals and best use these magnificent creatures in Conan Exiles.

How To Tame Animals In Conan Exiles

To begin taming any animal roaming The Exiled Lands and the Isle of Siptah, you must complete several Knowledge paths to acquire blueprints to craft various building structures needed to tame animals. If you're wondering which Knowledge paths to complete, we've provided the list below:

• Apprentice Tamer, Tamer, and Master Tamer: Completing this grants you the Small Animal Pen, Animal Pen, Reinforced Animal Pen, and Armored Animal Pen blueprints
• Apiarist and Master Apiarist: Completing this grants you the Beehive and Improved Beehive blueprints
• Stablemaster: Completing this grants you the Stable blueprint

From there, farm and harvest the necessary resources to build these structures before heading out to find baby animals to capture. Once you've spotted a baby animal, add it to your Inventory before placing it in one of the abovementioned structures.

Another way of acquiring baby animals is by collecting their eggs which can be looted from animal corpses, and purchasing them from specific NPC vendors like Urik, and Master Tamer. Once these eggs hatch, they can be placed in the Animal Pen to begin taming them.

This won't immediately start the taming process, as certain foods can increase the speed of the taming process and boost various stats if you're looking to gain a powerful variant of the animal. These foods depend on the animal you intend to tame, for which you'll need a Feed Box to feed the animal.

Once it's grown into an adult, it can be placed in the world and be used for producing resources like Dung, Feathers, Ironstone, and Ichor. Additionally, they can be used to guard or protect your base from enemy NPCs and creatures, but they have greater importance when participating in Purges.

They can be trained to follow you on your adventures which can be helpful when doing farming and mining runs. If you're about to be attacked by creatures when farming or mining, these follower pets will attack nearby enemies; however, if there are multiple enemies, you may be required to help them.

Likewise, they can also be utilized when gathering materials and resources on these farming and mining runs, as certain animals will have Inventory slots. These animals include Elephants, Mammoths, Camels, and Gazelles, as each will have 30 slots by default.

But by far, the most popular way these tamed animals are used is as mounts, which only applies to horses and rhinos. This will significantly help you traverse the world without doing it on foot or when needing to reach an Obelisk nearby.
