Wolves are some of the most elegant yet deadly creatures that you can find in Valheim, and owning one would provide you with several benefits.

These versatile creatures run fast, deal deadly damage, and are capable of taking down even the largest of enemies.

Taming a Wolf may prove to be a challenge to most players, but with the right strategy and knowledge, you can make these beasts loyal and fight alongside you.

What Can You Do with Wolf?

Taming a Wolf has many benefits for players, and one of them is their ability to fend off and kill other creatures in Valheim.

A Wolf has a powerful bite and is quick enough to chase down any enemy that it sets its eyes on, and it will go for the kill.

Players who have tamed a Wolf will be able to interact with them, causing the Wolf to follow them wherever they go.

If you have more than one Wolf, you can breed them to increase their population at your home or fortress.

Wolves provide great defense when your home is under attack and can swarm enemies and kill them within seconds.

You can also use wolves as livestock as long as you have at least 2 left whenever you decide to kill them for their resources.

How to Tame Wolf in Valheim?

To tame a Wolf, you will need to feed it Raw Meat or Sausages while also being undetected, as the Wolf should not be aggroed.

A Wolf that does not sense you or has stopped being aggressive towards you will attempt to eat any of its taming foods nearby.

In order to feed the Wolf, you will need to throw the food item that it prefers on the ground and wait for it to eat it.

Once the Wolf has eaten the first bite, its status will change from hungry to Acclimatizing, and later on, a Tameness percentage will be displayed.

Once your Wolf reaches 100% tameness, it will be tamed and now be loyal to you and your allies.

As of now, Wolves will only eat during the day or night depending on when they were spawned or lured, and the taming process will be halted until that time-of-day returns.
