How to tame a boar?

Post by luarocks »

I deal 1000 damage to the boar, but its all blocked, so how can I get pigs? My punch can't penetrate armor and I have no idea how to tame in another way.

Can you still tame with archery? If so, try that.

Try again when you have better gear, better stats or more people.

Wiki says that you can tame animals only with punch.

Wiki is at least partially wrong. You can for sure tame with a sword.

You can, but sword don't affect to punch skill. It will not increase your damage.

That is why I did not tell you it affected the punch skill. You need more Unarmed Combat and Strength to make your punch more effective. I do not know how much UC/STR you need to be able to penetrate a boar's defenses, but you will likely have metal before you have those stats.

The main benefit of UA attacks is that they have armour penetration. The problem here is that animal "armor" only acts as a flat damage reduction. With UA, it's very hard to deal enough damage to penetrate that in the early game.

Any sword, or a boar spear, would make it possible. They have enough flat early game damage that you can go through a boar without too many issues.
