Boar

The Boar is a common early-game creature found primarily in the Meadows. It provides essential early resources such as leather scraps and raw meat, and can also be tamed and bred.

πŸ“ Spawning

Boars spawn naturally in the Meadows biome.

They are often found:

  • Near open grasslands
  • Around berry bushes
  • In small groups

Higher-level variants (1β˜… and 2β˜…) may spawn and have increased health and damage.


βš”οΈ Behaviour

Boars are passive until approached closely or attacked.

When hostile, they will:

  • Charge directly at the player
  • Continue attacking until killed or out of range

They do not use special abilities or ranged attacks.


πŸ›  Combat Strategy

  • Use early melee weapons such as a Club or Flint Spear.
  • Block their charge with a shield.
  • Step sideways to avoid direct impact.
  • Ranged attacks with a Crude Bow are very effective.

Boars are considered low-risk and are ideal for early combat practice.


🎁 Drops

Item Use
Raw Meat Cooking and food progression
Leather Scraps Early crafting (bows, armor, tools)
Boar Trophy Decoration or summoning altar use (if applicable)

Starred variants drop additional materials.


πŸ— Taming

Boars can be tamed and bred.

To tame a Boar:

  1. Build a small enclosed pen.
  2. Lure the Boar inside.
  3. Drop food items such as berries or mushrooms.
  4. Stay nearby but avoid frightening it.
  5. Wait until the taming bar reaches 100%.

Once tamed:

  • Boars can be bred by feeding two nearby adults.
  • Offspring inherit star levels from parents.
  • Tamed boars provide renewable meat and leather.

πŸ’‘ Tips

  • Always eat food before hunting to maximize stamina.
  • Starred Boars are ideal breeding stock.
  • Use fences instead of walls early β€” cheaper and effective.
  • Boar farms are one of the earliest sustainable food sources.
