That just about covers all our Valheim Boar related knowledge. Wild and Tame Boars alike will become panicked by the proximity of fire, so be sure to keep them away from flames of all kinds. Lack of food will eventually result in death by starvation, so keep on top of your responsibilities here. You should periodically approach your Boar pen and see if any of them have become hungry. Tamed Boars eat the same food as Wild Boars - Mushrooms, Carrots, and berries. Keeping your tame Boars fed, healthy, and happy Selective breeding is rather smashing, eh? And then they'll breed with one another for guaranteed boars of the same level. So, by introducing just one higher-level boar into the pen and taming it, you'll slowly get more higher level boars. If two boars of different levels breed, the offspring level is randomly chosen between the two levels of the parents.If two boars of the same level breed, the offspring is guaranteed to be the same level as the parents.You can use this knowledge to your advantage by selectively breeding boars so that you get more higher-level boars which give you more meat and leather:

Higher level enemies are tougher and stronger, and drop more loot when killed. You may have noticed that different beasts and enemies in Valheim can have higher-level variants, denoted by one or two gold stars next to their health bar. So as long as you keep your Boars fed, they'll produce for you an unending supply of Raw Meat and Leather - the latter can be used to craft second tier armour on a workbench.īoar Levels (Stars) and selective breeding

To prevent overpopulation, you can periodically cull your sounder of Boars, netting you a bunch of Raw Meat and Leather Scraps in the process. The more happy Boars you have in a pen, the greater the rate of new births, further increasing your Boar population.

Two happy Boars in close proximity can randomly choose to mate, producing a piggy which will, after some time, grow up to become a full adult Boar like its parents. After that, whenever you feed them, their status will change from "hungry" to "happy". So you'll need to repeat the above process to lure two Boars into the same pen and tame them both.

To breed Boars in Valheim, you'll predictably need at least two Boars. Note: this is also a great chance to improve your Sneak skill! Sneaking around the pen while the Boar is still wild offers a safe way to farm Sneak skill experience points and level up the skill very quickly. Continue feeding the Boar over several days until that percentage reaches 100%, after which the Boar will be fully tamed. You'll see yellow hearts appear around the Boar as it feeds, and if you walk up close to it at this point, you'll see the status of the Boar is "acclimatizing", and there'll be a "Tameness" value which shows how close to tamed the Boar has become.

Toss the food over the fence and wait for the Boar to eat it. Toss any of these morsels of food onto the ground in front of the Boar by clicking the food in your inventory and then clicking outside of the inventory window. So you've trapped the Boar, but how do you tame it? To tame a Boar, all you need to do is feed it repeatedly, using either Mushrooms, Carrots, Raspberries, or Blueberries - you can find carrot seeds in the Black Forest biome, if you're low on supplies. Then quickly use your Hammer to place a final fence piece in the gap, to make sure the Boar can't escape. Run back into the pen, then jump over the fence once the Boar has followed you inside. Once the pen is constructed, find a Boar and get it to attack you. Leave a gap, because you'll need to lure a boar into the pen. It doesn't have to be huge, just a dozen or so fences. The easiest and best Boar taming method in Valheim is to first build a pen out of wooden Roundpole Fences. Watch on YouTube Valheim Boar taming: best method
