How to Tame Boars in Valheim?

To tame boars in Valheim, you have to build a pen, attract them into it, close them in, and provide food from then on. There are several ways to do this. You can build a pen from Roundpole Fences, and then leave a hole or build a door. Then, you have to lure the boar in, either with food or by provoking them into the attack, and then let them chase you into the enclosure. If you’re feeling especially adventurous, you can literally build the fence around you and the boar while dodging its attacks.

Once you have them in the enclosure, that’s when the Valheim boar taming actually begins. You have to feed your piggies blueberries, raspberries, regular mushrooms, and/or carrots regularly. You don’t have to do it daily, but don’t let them starve for too long, either. All you have to do is throw the food on the ground in the enclosure and step away for the boar to start eating. Different foods have different rates of taming, with carrots doing the most. Also, don’t go too far off, or the taming will go dormant.

After you’ve tamed a boar, you can then pet it, which is nice. More importantly, if you tame more than one boar and then put them in the same enclosure, they will breed after you feed them carrots. You do have to have a big enough pigpen, though; they stop breeding after there are too many of them. I recommend keeping the boars in separate, small enclosures while taming them, however. You can later build a bigger space and just push them inside once they’re tame; just get into a block stance to do so.
