Step #1: Create the Wolf Pen
The Wolf pen doesn’t have to be large. But it should be reasonably big so the Wolf can roam comfortably. You can build a pen by surrounding a space with Roundpole Fences and Stakewalls. These miscellaneous building materials cost Wood to build, so ensure you have a sufficient amount of this resource.Step #2: Find and Lure in a Wolf
Travel to a nearby Mountain biome and search for a wild Wolf. Once found, the Wolf will chase after you to the end of the map (if possible) or when you die. Lure the Wolf to the built pen and close the opening. Next, quickly throw Raw Meat into the pen. Sometimes, the frightened Wolf will attack the barricade. So, make sure to repair the fences and walls as quickly as possible to prevent the animal from escaping. Tip: Use spawn commands to give your character Raw Meat instead of grinding for the item.Step #3: Tame the Wolf
Leave the area after throwing enough Raw Meat into the pen. Note that the Wolf will continue to be frightened while you’re nearby. If so, the animal won’t eat the Raw Meat and will keep attacking the barricade. It takes 30 minutes for the Wolf in the pen to acclimatize. Ensure that the Wolf doesn’t see you during the taming process. Otherwise, the animal will become frightened, and the taming process will lose points. You can sneak a peek at the Wolf in the pen to check the taming progress. You’ll know if the process works when you see yellow hearts rising from the creature’s body. An on-screen notification will appear when the taming period completes.Breeding Wolves in Valheim
