Do you want a bustling farm filled with wildlife and rideable mounts to explore the vast biomes of Orbis? Hytale Taming requires a bit of patience, the right favorite foods, and clever tools to safely bring creatures back to your base. In this Apex Hosting guide, we show you exactly how to catch, contain, and manage animals so you can build the ultimate agricultural empire on your server. Let’s get right into it! 👇
Taming Animals in Hytale
Animals usually run away in fear when you approach them directly. Walk up slowly and interact with the creature to make a thought bubble appear over its head. This bubble reveals the animal’s exact favorite food! Hold that specific food item in your hand to safely get close without scaring them off. Feed the animal, and it will happily stand by your side ready for the next step.
How to Catch & Tame
Stop chasing animals across the map endlessly and use the right tools instead to secure them permanently. Setup your farm quickly and efficiently using these core mechanics to ensure your new pets stay safe:
- Build an enclosure: Construct a secure pen with fences and gates before you look for animals.
- Place Feed Bags: Drop Feed Bags near your pens to passively lure wildlife toward your farm.
- Use Capture Crates: Scoop up small creatures and baby animals directly into a Capture Crate.
- Lure with favorite foods: Hold a creature’s preferred snack in your hand to make them follow you directly into your base.
- Release your pets: Carry the crate into your enclosure, close the gate behind you, and set the animal free.
