EDIT AS OF MARCH 23, TAMING OF THE TWO STAR WOLVES HAS CHANGED. THEY DON'T DESPAWN ANYMORE. Please leave a like on Steam. Thank you! steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2402730212
I just try to explain it as efficiently as possible. I have some of my subs who know English as a second language so being clear and concise is not only necessary for tutorials but beneficial for everyone.
@@seeshellgaming6883 ...and thank YOU for taking the time to do all this time-consuming fact-finding for all of us! You sharing the solutions to problems we didn't even know existed will save us all a bunch of time!
This was a totally missed opportunity to legitimately refer to that remote base as the "Love Shack". Edit: This is awesome! All the work makes it even better.
Great video. One small correction. Two-star wolves ONLY spawn at night. There are many types of creatures whose starred versions will ONLY spawn at night.
You dont need to sneak, just build a floor maybe double floor on the pit and you can chill up there and the wolf will be below you, without agro and without seeing you, if you are close to him it will speed up the taming process and sleeping near the wolf will speed it up by a lot obviously and then you can bring the 2 wolves inside the pit but its up on you if you can survive there the 2 hours IRL it'll like 1 hour, good video, thanks lady
Thanks for this great tips. I'm do it much simpler by accident. When I'm put 2 stars wolf into the pit, there's another wolf tag along. So, I'm just lazy and put 2 of them in one pit and tame it together. Put a bunch of meat inside and go AFK. When I'm come back, they are breeding on their own inside the pit and I got double 2 stars cub right away.
@@appleOgreen In order to tame any animal, even a 0 stared boar, you need to be in a certain radius. The boar won’t despawn even if you go to the other edge of the world, but the taming meter won’t increase.
@@404_BrainDidNotLoad and the ward does the taming for you as if you were sitting afk there yourself? also works for taming the 2star night wolfs wich despawn and you have to keep in a pit to tame?
@@appleOgreen I haven’t checked to see if it prevents despawning but OP seems to have found that it works for 2 star wolves. But yes, the ward will fulfill the proximity requirement for taming, you’ll still have to make sure it has food and all that.
@@404_BrainDidNotLoad thanks a ton for clarifying! that was genuinely one mechanic which didnt contribute to fun really imo as its literary just waiting unless your base where u can do crafting or smth to mine near, this is a nice in game way to do it and the materials required arent very rare either, im surprised i NEVER heard it before in all the animal taming and farm videos i saw, or somehow forgot that detail but remembered all the rest? idk
Quick tip: You don't need wolf armor or even frost resist mead if you pre-dig a pen with a (few) campfire(s). Just make sure to roof 'em properly and they'll stay lit. You can start taming wolves pretty much as soon as you start a new char if you know what you're doing.
After 300+ hours into the game and a LOT of time in the mountains, I wouldn't ever recommend this. Far too many things that can go wrong to simply "hope" campfires and no defenses will do the trick
@@jayr7613Well I just started the game and I already have a massive pack of 1 star wolves (trapped a 2 star but it despawned) and it's amazing. Literally makes the whole game better (and easier). So absolutely worth it focusing on wolves right away.
This helped so incredibly much I came back at least three more times to check I was doing it right. You were awesome to make this. Thanks a bunch. I now have the makings of my very own wolfpack :)
Excellent video. You have good, clear speach and pacing along with a lot of detailed info. Many tubers start talking really fast, rushing when they feel they are making too long of a vid. I prefer the detail and the lack of speed talking! Just last night, we encountered our first 2 star. I had a tamed 1 star run off into the mountains when I told him to follow. Had the tame 2 star despawn after practicing my sneak skill for 4 game nights when I went to bring the mate into the taming pit (my error for trying it during the day, but the rest of the group was getting antsy because they were waiting to do a boss fight). Breeding the 2 star with a normal to see if the pups stayed was going to be my final experiment before giving up on them! 7:12 Confirmed one and two stars were only eating at night (even if hungry during the day), although they would get taming progress during the day if they were still under the food timer. It averaged to 4 game nights for a 1 or 2 star tame, though, as it did in your example. They would despawn if out of vision for a certain (short) time. Stam and healing potions can help with getting out of the trap. Bonemass buff can help with surviving the wolf. I also appreciate the tip to getting them in the boat, that was something else I was going to experiment with. Great time savings.
Great video. I would have done it a little different, I would have left one person at the 2 star and one goes and gets the normal wolf and put it in the pit with the now tame 2 star and let them breed there. That way you don't run the risk of losing your new Wolf on the way to the cabin. Or, build a cabin closer whilst in the taming period...
This video has aged like wine, it still works perfectly. I followed his tutorial while he was in the trap I made on the ground, I managed to take him to a nearby hut to breed at the night. Now I just need to have my two puppies and take them to the base. However, I can say that I didn't have to wait 2 hours near the wolf, I just left food and continued playing normally, and coming back using a portal periodically to see how the process was going. It didn't despawn at any point so the method is still viable. I just love this game. Thank you a lot, have my like
So does the original 2 star wolf still despawn at daytime? I've heard that u can go about playing & come back periodically to check on the tame via portal, does that for sure work? Does the wolf also tame during the day now? And lastly can u sleep to pass time on the tame? My thought was to make a temp house with a bed right beside the tame. (Sorry for the 4 questions, I'm getting ready to tame a 2 star wolf & will probably try a few of these)
@@crystaljefferson6167 The wolf will try to run away in daylight, so just keep him trapped. But during the night it acts and follows you normally and breed like in the video. The taming process was alright too. After an hour and a few minutes I think, he was tamed. You don't need to stay close or leave the character afk for this. I made a nearby portal and came every night to see if was tamed. His name is now FENRIR my fearsome dad of all wolves! He's been with me since I left the comment and he's become my main pet for produce puppies in a beautiful two star wolf farm, I'm about to take them to my main base in the plains
You can also swim them across, I did it with 4 wolves getting them to the swamp, just have them follow, swim until stam is gone and log out, log back in and full stam again and the wolves will be right by you, just click them to follow and rinse and repeat until you make the shore, took me around 10 times of doing this
yes you can but you need to keep in mind that if the wolf the two star one agros then it will not eat that means it cannot tame so you need to keep your distance and be careful
@@seeshellgaming6883 I meant once both wolves are already tamed. So what I did was get a normal wolf into a trap to start taming it, then go get a starred wolf. Then once they’re both tame, bring the normal wolf into the starred wolfs pit so there’s zero risk of losing the starred one to some crazy stuff on the way lol You just have to have both taming traps close to each other so the starred one doesn’t despawn of course.
Best and most detailed tutorial ever! 👍 Especially the part about despawning and the actual IRL time needed to tame a two star is extremely helpful (am playing solo so will have to be very well prepared)
@@splitsec6760 I just tested it out after I got my two puppies. Went to sleep with the original tamed starred wolf nearby, and when I woke up he was still there.
thanks so much for the video it was very informational and your pleasant to listen to you are not screaming in my ears and talking 100 miles an hour like everything is panic mode like so many youtubers do these days, i cannot even tollerate watching half of them bc of that lol. thanks for being chill lady :)
8 months later, I had a 2-star boar despawn after being tamed 66%, with a crafting table nearby. Amazingly, it was the first two-star boar I've ever seen, immediately after starting a new character and seed, which was a breath of fresh air after spending 500 hours on a terrible seed.
This is the most helpful guide I've found on this topic. Others are saying that 2 stars don't despawn anymore, but I can assure you that they do. I spent most of the day today trying to tame one and had 2 despawn after I ported back to my base. Thanks again.
Incredibly frustrating task. In 6 hours of hunting I've only seen one 2 star wolf when its pack ambushed and killed me at the crack of dawn and then despawned.
How have I not seen more of your channel? This is very clear and informative. I love you repeat the important stuff a few times so that forgetful or easily-distracted folks like me can still get the info. Thank you for this! (Also, it's nice to meet another gamer gal. o7)
What if you make a little shack right next to the pit so you can sleep, would that cut down on the real world time investment? Or do they not make taming progress when you sleep?
Very nicely explained an helpful video. I don't see it as a bug though that the 2-star wolf you tame runs away during daytime. Makes sense that only those bred in captivity do not have instinct that makes the original one return to it's old habits (ruleset). I actually love it that this dynamic is in the game. They only need to make it more immersive than it just despawning.
You could use the harpoon to get the wolf into the house during the day. Also you could start with the 2 star wolf and once it is in the pit just lure another no star wolf during the day into the same pit and breed them in the pit once both are tamed.
Thought that too. I dug two separate pits and tamed them apart, then got the no star into the two star pit, built a roof for drake protection and bred my pups in there.
I wish I had found this video before trial and error on my part. I too realized its easier to dig a pit and they cant break it. I build a small shack nearby to sit it out and I just go AFK. I also covered my pit with planks just in case something would attack or the night spawn would despawn. I was not sure if daylight caused the despawn or just the time. I did not realize it was me being nearby that prevented the spawn. I left both my wolves I found in the pit until I had two spawns and that was pure luck. I went to bed and woke up with a few wolves. Ran them to my village. Now if I can just get them to shut up a bit. Great video!
I did things a little differently, and perhaps a little more difficult, but it does make the taming part of the process _significantly_ easier. What I do is I cut into the side of the mountain rate into the neighbouring biome at the foot of the mountain, so that it's a sheer Cliff, with three sides being Rocky terrain, and the bottom being roughly ground level. I then raise the terrain to make a u-shape. From there, I put up stone walls and Foundation inside the U-shape, will leaving the very bottom bare, and building a stone wall on the open side, leaving a 1-2 gap for me to run through (but they can't), plus a 2x2 feeding hole 2 blocks up. At the top of the Trap, I add a wooden gangplank (like a pirate ship, Arr...), and I run on to it with the Wolves chasing me on it. From there, I use my building Hammer to break the end, and we all fall in the hole of the same time. Even if I die, if I have a bed on the other side of the wall, I can respawn and start taming. What I often do is have a fully enclosed room on the other side of the Trap, complete with fireplace, bed, chests, anything I need in the event I screw up any to bail my corpse out. Of course, this is far more time-consuming to set up, and it leaves you with only one trap to put your wolf in, but what it takes up in time for set up, saves you from getting killed during the night while waiting to tame the wolf in question. Not to mention it protects the wolf from getting damaged from other creatures, such as stone golems. That being said, considering I've only had luck with one stars, and I want to go further away from Spawn to see if I have better luck, I may use your approach instead. Thank you!
that is actually what we thought as well at the time. it doesn't hurt since it only cost 10 wood. apparently though, the devs did say that they fixed the wolves despawning...
Great info here. Been trying to find 2* wolves in the largest mountain range on the map where I just so happen to have my main base on the foothills. But no luck after hours of searching. I didn't know the likelyhood increases at night. I also didn't know they will despawn during the day.
You should be able to leave a tombstone by the pit if needed and then come back to the 1 or 2 star. I have had this happen with a 2 star Fuhling that spawned at night, i logged for work and came back 8 hrs later and he was still guarding my corpse. Pretty sure the tombstone acts as a 'player' and keeps local spawns active.
@@Nikoli420 When you log off it saves the world, including the mobs nearby. The issue addressed in this video is that if you continued to play the game and went away from the area it would despawn. Logging off is not the same as continuing to play and moving away from the area - hope this helps.
Amazing In-depth wolf taming video guide! Couldn't have been easy to put all this info and footage together, thanks for all your time and hard work (and that of your friend also), moreover, your explanations were comprehensive and thorough. Thank you! ***EDIT*** - Finally did it, and thank you again! My original star wolf never despawned after taming, perhaps they fixed that bug since? Also i built a small hut with bed in that sweet zone near the pit so i could sleep the nights away (and still be taming the wolf) and speed the process up a bit, (thankfully) the wolf was still there each morning, a gamble, i know.
I spent many frustrating hours burning through health potions and repairing wooden walls, begging the wolf to eat. If only I watched this first... could have knocked out some netflix smh
With this I can help you. They spawn at day too, but not so easily. I catched 2 of them at night, tamed them. They do not disappear from the pen, because I put a workbench in there. The workbench keeps the boars as well as their food from despawning after the 3600 seconds real time pass. Real good source of meat for wolf breeding. You just have to make sure the pen or animal enclosure doesn't pass over the workbench's radius, not even the slightest bit.
We took over one of the mini stone castles in the snow as a mini outpost and wolves spawn really nearby, I might dig one of these pits nearby and just chill in there for a few nights. Great video thx
@@SpaceApe020 I guess it isn't quite the same your right, but it is only for the first wolf. once you get that one locked in you can mass produce 2 star wolves at base. I have a steam community post made showing how to do it, im trying to bring it to more people attention. I was able to do it solo so its possible
When taming a 2 star wolf at night I slept and came back to find nothing. They despawn when you sleep. But build the shack for safety, just don't place a bed/workbench/fire down so you dont trigger a raid.
@@skullwakkah6930 - the 1 and 2 star also seem to despawn if you are out of visual range for a short time. I had a normal wolf nearby and the tamed 2 star despawned in the short time it took me to bring the other over.
You don't want to build anything that will attract agro from anything wandering around. You've got to just stay in sneak, preferably in visual range of the wolf. Anything in the mountains can wreck a wood shack quickly and if you attract skelis or golems, the wolf will agro on them, preventing taming progress. Your best bet is to just stay in sneak, slightly off the taming pit where you can still see the wolf, but he's not getting alerted by you.
A very elaborated and efficient explanation, although I'm not sure the part of "How to get those Wolves off the Ship" was covered. Although, from what you mentioned regarding the wolves attacking enemies had they been taken through the narrow river, it sounds like they can either follow you off the ship or stand on it whilst it's being destroyed. Would love to know the answer.
I got lucky finding my 2 star on the 4th night checking my wolf spawn locations. I'm excited now that I have 2 puppies with 2 stars. Thank you for your video 😘
@@seeshellgaming6883 What makes them different from your regular wolf? My (limited) experience of all the animals is that the more stars they have, the more you can harvest from them, but that doesn't seem to apply to wolves because they are pets / companions. What am I missing?
@@lukec7525 Patch notes for update 0.148.6, dated March 23, 2021, state, “Night-spawning wolves should be easier to tame now (should stop trying to run away & despawn after starting to tame).”
10:50 re agro and taming In the mountains, wolves will also aggro on skelis or golems. So be sure to kill any of that if nearby. Having a partner can be useful for this.
Great video and great info! I suggest you write a script for these videos to avoid repeating yourself too much. The whole star wolves spawn better at night thing was said like 10 separate times during the video
can you not build a workbench and a shack to sleep in to make the time go by faster? Things like the kiln and smelter still pass time when you sleep and workbenches keep things from despawning.
That's what i thought, just make the regular wolf follow you to the taming pit and build a mini hut next to it with a fire and a bed to stay safe from enemies so you don't have to eat or use potions and sleep as much as you can to speed up the process. Also wolves never attack other wolves so you can have them together from the very beginning.
back in the day in ARK official servers, it would take upwards of 12 hours IRL to tame a larger dino and it was genuinely painful. Do not recommend btw

I knew you sounded familiar you made the mutation tutorial for breeding rexes
does it only despawn once u let it outside? it seemed to stick around when it was trapped inside ur breeding house
You should build a shed after you have the wolf in the pit... Always block vision from everything.
@@dynax1331 Yes that's me
@@ayyitslui if it goes outside during the day yes it will despawn. still keep it trapped up until it pops two star babies.

The recent patch fixed the wolf despawning so now you can just tame your 2 star wold and take it home, no need to breed unless you want more.
Easy way around is just building a den and a house right as the mountain ends and lure the wolf there , no worries about drakes or the cold this way

"you can see the wolf is in this house, and it is just chillin up in here"
sounds like a regular monday to me
Your hardwork will not be wasted! I will make an army of them just have them in the base. Gotta grind some deers and boars now
Incredibly frustrating task. In 6 hours of hunting I've only seen one 2 star wolf when its pack ambushed and killed me at the crack of dawn and then despawned.
How have I not seen more of your channel? This is very clear and informative. I love you repeat the important stuff a few times so that forgetful or easily-distracted folks like me can still get the info. Thank you for this!
(Also, it's nice to meet another gamer gal. o7)
heck yeah. I appreciate your support.
you dont need to walk away from the wolf if aggroed ... just need to stay out of sight until it no longer aggroed to you
thanks your valheim guides are amazing, really brought me up to speed with my friends who had already finished the game when I started !
thank you.
What if you make a little shack right next to the pit so you can sleep, would that cut down on the real world time investment? Or do they not make taming progress when you sleep?
This is smart, if someone ends up testing this let us know.
Very nicely explained an helpful video.
I don't see it as a bug though that the 2-star wolf you tame runs away during daytime. Makes sense that only those bred in captivity do not have instinct that makes the original one return to it's old habits (ruleset).
I actually love it that this dynamic is in the game. They only need to make it more immersive than it just despawning.
yeah probably not a bug but when this came out genuinly thought it was. but yeah love the process and very complicated. those wolves are worth it.
You could use the harpoon to get the wolf into the house during the day.
Also you could start with the 2 star wolf and once it is in the pit just lure another no star wolf during the day into the same pit and breed them in the pit once both are tamed.
Ah, good tip with the pit breed!
Won't the tamed Wolf kill the second one?
Thought that too. I dug two separate pits and tamed them apart, then got the no star into the two star pit, built a roof for drake protection and bred my pups in there.
I wish I had found this video before trial and error on my part. I too realized its easier to dig a pit and they cant break it. I build a small shack nearby to sit it out and I just go AFK. I also covered my pit with planks just in case something would attack or the night spawn would despawn. I was not sure if daylight caused the despawn or just the time. I did not realize it was me being nearby that prevented the spawn. I left both my wolves I found in the pit until I had two spawns and that was pure luck. I went to bed and woke up with a few wolves. Ran them to my village. Now if I can just get them to shut up a bit. Great video!
thank you for your support and good luck
Tip: If you parry the wolf for a few moments you can push it into the trap so you don't have to risk dying. Happy Afterlife!
"Travel it with ship"
Very helpful video! Thanks for making it!
Its easier to sneak around animals you're taming by staying downwind from them. (The arrow in the bottom left of mini-map shows wind direction).
never knew this, super important info
@@thewhitemask Wind has no bearing on aggro, this myth has been debunked
Excellent video. Excellent narration. Great job guys.
Very helpful, boutta embark on this several hour long quest. Wish me luck!
I did things a little differently, and perhaps a little more difficult, but it does make the taming part of the process _significantly_ easier.
What I do is I cut into the side of the mountain rate into the neighbouring biome at the foot of the mountain, so that it's a sheer Cliff, with three sides being Rocky terrain, and the bottom being roughly ground level. I then raise the terrain to make a u-shape. From there, I put up stone walls and Foundation inside the U-shape, will leaving the very bottom bare, and building a stone wall on the open side, leaving a 1-2 gap for me to run through (but they can't), plus a 2x2 feeding hole 2 blocks up.
At the top of the Trap, I add a wooden gangplank (like a pirate ship, Arr...), and I run on to it with the Wolves chasing me on it. From there, I use my building Hammer to break the end, and we all fall in the hole of the same time. Even if I die, if I have a bed on the other side of the wall, I can respawn and start taming.
What I often do is have a fully enclosed room on the other side of the Trap, complete with fireplace, bed, chests, anything I need in the event I screw up any to bail my corpse out.
Of course, this is far more time-consuming to set up, and it leaves you with only one trap to put your wolf in, but what it takes up in time for set up, saves you from getting killed during the night while waiting to tame the wolf in question. Not to mention it protects the wolf from getting damaged from other creatures, such as stone golems.
That being said, considering I've only had luck with one stars, and I want to go further away from Spawn to see if I have better luck, I may use your approach instead. Thank you!
The wolf ran off to get some cigarettes or something
i was expecting copper and i found Black Metal! this video is amazing! thank you sooo much!
Mannn, the abyssal harpoon would help you a ton in this situation!
hmm, has this been tested yet? Game science says its needed
@@jessicaskelton3958 I actually just tested this an hour ago. You can 100% harpoon wolves, which can come in handy big time :)
@@dallas5361 Does it help with the despawn issue?
@@jessicaskelton3958 i wouldn't take the risk of running out of stamina and losing it given how long it takes to tame them..
Will placing a workbench in the vicinity of the taming pit help against wolf dispawning? Cause normally workbenches prevent items despawning...
that is actually what we thought as well at the time. it doesn't hurt since it only cost 10 wood. apparently though, the devs did say that they fixed the wolves despawning...
AMAZING very helpful video! Can't wait until I get a 2 star wolf army.
Great info here. Been trying to find 2* wolves in the largest mountain range on the map where I just so happen to have my main base on the foothills. But no luck after hours of searching. I didn't know the likelyhood increases at night. I also didn't know they will despawn during the day.
Are the one-star wolfs bugged aswell?
Edit: Yes they are. De-spawn in daylight if you get to far away.
Only if you found it at night or all 1star wolves, even the ones you find in the day?
@@Ironbuket
That I'm not sure of.
I've only tamed at night.
@@bongfuhrer if you breed the wolf immediately after taming it the pup should keep the stars and not despawn
You should be able to leave a tombstone by the pit if needed and then come back to the 1 or 2 star. I have had this happen with a 2 star Fuhling that spawned at night, i logged for work and came back 8 hrs later and he was still guarding my corpse. Pretty sure the tombstone acts as a 'player' and keeps local spawns active.
@@Nikoli420 When you log off it saves the world, including the mobs nearby. The issue addressed in this video is that if you continued to play the game and went away from the area it would despawn. Logging off is not the same as continuing to play and moving away from the area - hope this helps.
Amazing In-depth wolf taming video guide! Couldn't have been easy to put all this info and footage together, thanks for all your time and hard work (and that of your friend also), moreover, your explanations were comprehensive and thorough. Thank you!
***EDIT*** - Finally did it, and thank you again! My original star wolf never despawned after taming, perhaps they fixed that bug since? Also i built a small hut with bed in that sweet zone near the pit so i could sleep the nights away (and still be taming the wolf) and speed the process up a bit, (thankfully) the wolf was still there each morning, a gamble, i know.
I spent many frustrating hours burning through health potions and repairing wooden walls, begging the wolf to eat. If only I watched this first... could have knocked out some netflix smh
The father wolf didn't despawn, he just went out for a pack of cigs 😂
LMFAO!!! that is too good
Any tips for doing the same thing for a 2 star boar?
Are they found at night too, and do they have the same bug?
With this I can help you. They spawn at day too, but not so easily. I catched 2 of them at night, tamed them. They do not disappear from the pen, because I put a workbench in there. The workbench keeps the boars as well as their food from despawning after the 3600 seconds real time pass. Real good source of meat for wolf breeding. You just have to make sure the pen or animal enclosure doesn't pass over the workbench's radius, not even the slightest bit.
What would a 1star and 2 star boar make?
@@Sean3D2Y They make either a 1 star or 2 star piglet.
@@birch98 ok. Thanks. Just bred them.
We took over one of the mini stone castles in the snow as a mini outpost and wolves spawn really nearby, I might dig one of these pits nearby and just chill in there for a few nights. Great video thx
nice! good luck with taming yourself a good level wolf
I hope they don't add in-breeding problems and Prion Diseases to the game
Thank you for the info. I'd be furious if I finally tamed one and then it despawned and didn't know about this
I hope the only night time taming is a bug to be fixed
godly items are not for casuals, ya want the god tier then gotta work for it. this makes perfect sence
@@Dragnous420 2 hours of real time for taming a pet where you can't leave is just stupid, not elite.
@@SpaceApe020 you've never player ark have you... 2 days to tame something godly lmao
@@Dragnous420 Thats not the same thing. You can leave in that game and it has PvP so theres balancing. Valheim is just a fun co-op
@@SpaceApe020 I guess it isn't quite the same your right, but it is only for the first wolf. once you get that one locked in you can mass produce 2 star wolves at base. I have a steam community post made showing how to do it, im trying to bring it to more people attention. I was able to do it solo so its possible
EXCELLENT content. good tips on the two star thing, I wasn't aware of the night time limitations or the despawning. THANKS.
when taming for 2 hours can u build a shack to sleep in and build a fire?
you need the night cycle to play out for as long as possible.. you cant sleep through the day, so it would be absolutely pointless to make a bed
When taming a 2 star wolf at night I slept and came back to find nothing. They despawn when you sleep. But build the shack for safety, just don't place a bed/workbench/fire down so you dont trigger a raid.
@@skullwakkah6930 - the 1 and 2 star also seem to despawn if you are out of visual range for a short time. I had a normal wolf nearby and the tamed 2 star despawned in the short time it took me to bring the other over.
You don't want to build anything that will attract agro from anything wandering around.
You've got to just stay in sneak, preferably in visual range of the wolf. Anything in the mountains can wreck a wood shack quickly and if you attract skelis or golems, the wolf will agro on them, preventing taming progress. Your best bet is to just stay in sneak, slightly off the taming pit where you can still see the wolf, but he's not getting alerted by you.
dam i wish I had more time to session this game with you guys. Work and juggling two other games is brutal haha. That base is looking epic.
Lifes crap mate haha game is so epic tho, more so in the late game
no worries oldskool. Thanks a lot man
A very elaborated and efficient explanation, although I'm not sure the part of "How to get those Wolves off the Ship" was covered.
Although, from what you mentioned regarding the wolves attacking enemies had they been taken through the narrow river, it sounds like they can either follow you off the ship or stand on it whilst it's being destroyed.
Would love to know the answer.
they literally just run off the ship.
Wow...a solid guide no fuckin around just facts. Thanks!
no fuckin around? lol - just repeating the same info a gazillion times, just in case you forgot after 10 seconds xD.
I got lucky finding my 2 star on the 4th night checking my wolf spawn locations. I'm excited now that I have 2 puppies with 2 stars. Thank you for your video 😘
Very comprehensive, detailed vid. Thank you for the great info!
thank you for your support.
The information you provided in this video is unbelievably amazing thank you!
thank you for your support
these two star wolves are huge omg
they are nice to have as well.
@@seeshellgaming6883 What makes them different from your regular wolf? My (limited) experience of all the animals is that the more stars they have, the more you can harvest from them, but that doesn't seem to apply to wolves because they are pets / companions. What am I missing?
best wolftaming vid i found so far. cudos!
The last patch fixed the bug on taming the two-star wolf. Maybe y’all could update this video.
How so? Please explain
@@lukec7525 Patch notes for update 0.148.6, dated March 23, 2021, state, “Night-spawning wolves should be easier to tame now (should stop trying to run away & despawn after starting to tame).”
True.
@@geektome4781 Thanks for mentioning it!
10:50 re agro and taming
In the mountains, wolves will also aggro on skelis or golems. So be sure to kill any of that if nearby. Having a partner can be useful for this.
definitely. which is why Tyrant was kind enough to help me.
Until a deathsquito comes in and wipes your pack out like it’s nothing... I’m still salty
Can you expedite the process with lox meat?
It takes so long tame a 1 star wolf, and it die from a fire pit in the house...like bruh
Great video and great info! I suggest you write a script for these videos to avoid repeating yourself too much. The whole star wolves spawn better at night thing was said like 10 separate times during the video
This is why I’m happy there are console commands. I don’t have two hours to sit in a game to tame a wolf
in the last 0.186.6 patch that came yesterday, night wolves no longer escapes or despawn after start taming.
I hope our video was Extremly helpfull... Never heard someone say that phrase before
well i hope it was
Also kinda funny that u say:" thats pretty much it" like if the whole process didn't take like 8 hours or so haha, still awesome vid very detailed
It was extremely helpful!
instead of being on guard out in the open like that could u just build a little shack to afk in?
Hah my friend has Tamed a troll! It is only as tame as it can't see you though...
This is like learning how to get an indestructible car in gta, Beautifully done.
Got two, came back a day, and they're both dead. :(
So sad to hear that.. Always have a couple safe in a roofed pit inside your base so that doesn't happen. I hope you have better luck next time
not bugged, just a night only spawn, thanks for the video
no problem thank you for your support.
and here I thought ARK breeding was a lot of work....
Great video though :)
thank you
can you not build a workbench and a shack to sleep in to make the time go by faster? Things like the kiln and smelter still pass time when you sleep and workbenches keep things from despawning.
"Here's the thing..."
yes
You can place the "breeding house" right next to the taming pit for easier transfer and faster start of breeding :)
That's what i thought, just make the regular wolf follow you to the taming pit and build a mini hut next to it with a fire and a bed to stay safe from enemies so you don't have to eat or use potions and sleep as much as you can to speed up the process. Also wolves never attack other wolves so you can have them together from the very beginning.
also 2 hours real time? omg
Some of the tames in ARK in the early days would be more than double that time. But it's still a lot of work.
back in the day in ARK official servers, it would take upwards of 12 hours IRL to tame a larger dino and it was genuinely painful. Do not recommend btw
@@drake2638 yeah berry taming a bronto on official rates was not fun
This was a great complete tutorial, thanks.
I just missed how you get wolves to follow you, but i assume you do that by just petting a tame wolf.
"Two hours real time"
*interest instantly lost*
Ain't nobody got time for that!
if you want it and want to do it the legitimate way then it is worth it.
yeah the only animal that is almost worth taming is the lox, although its not worth it yet because you cant currently bread them.
Does using different meat make a difference in the time to tame like for example using lox meat over boar meat?
no tyrant tested it and it does not really affect it significantly. just stick with regular meat.
