Taming Pets Guide in Rune Slayer

To tame a pet in Rune Slayer, you’ll first need to decide which animal you’re going to go for. Why is this important? Well, to tame a beast, you have to get its favorite food and offer it. With🍌out that one specific item, they won’t heed your ꦯcall. 

Let’s take the Deer as an example. Apples are their favorite fruit, so you can easily get one from one of the trees by the pond in Wayshire. 

Once you have your Apples, go to the Wilderness east of Wayshire. 

Look around and find a Deer. Approach it and use M1 to strike it. After the first strike, take outᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ your Apple. Don’t eat it and don’t k🐎ill the animal. 

After a second or two, you’ll see a heart appearing above the deer’s head. However, ꦅit can also disappear, causing the deer to attac🗹k you and cancel the taming process.

It might take a couple of tries, but you’ll eventually see the heart growing in size. That means the taming is working. 

And voila, you’ve learned how to tame pets in Rune Slayer. But, hold your horses for a bit. This guide is only for taming Deer in the Wilderness area🦂. There are 10+ other pets in the game, so how do you unlock them?

How to Mount Your Pet in Rune Slayer 

Aside from serving as companions and quasi-tanks, pets in Rune Slayer can also be used as mounts. You can get a mount once you reach level 20. Then, just go and talk to Jimmy the Stablꩲe Master. 

He’ll send you on a quest to deliver a note to Ashenshire, the second zone. Just head down the path, and you’ll see a rope heading up a tree. Climb it and the NPC will be on your right. She’ll hand you a package, and you’ll just have to deliver it back to Jimmy the Stable Master to get🤪 your Saddle. Not the worst fetch quest, eh? 

How to Get the Beast Tamer Class and Tame Stronger Beasts 

Aside from regular pets and mounts, there’s another aspect of taming—getting stronger, more dangerous pets. However, only the Archer class is able to do th🌟is by getting the Beast Tamer subclass. 

To do this yourself, just follow our guide on how to level up fast in Rune Slayer and get to level 30. Then, choose the class from the menu and try your hand at taming a Barracuda or Adult Spider. The Adult Spider in particular is my favor🧸ite pet tank in the gam🎃e. 

And there you have it, your one-stop-shop to learning how to tame pets in Rune Slayer. Not only will you be able to have a loyal companion, but also a way to speed around the map and get to level 40 fast. Don’t forget to check out our Rune Slayer tier list to make sure you have the best pet for your build, too.
