Decoding the PET TAMING UPDATE in 99 Nights In The Forest
The long-awaited TAMING UPDATE in 99 Nights In The Forest has introduced a new dominant system based on creature domestication and a new specialized class. This update allows players to tame and utilize various animals—from ordinary Rabbits to unusual Mammoths—as companions in the survival process. The main focus of this new mechanism is the Zookeeper class and the use of the Taming Flute.
Zookeeper Class in TAMING UPDATE in 99 Nights In The Forest
Introduction of the Zookeeper class is the primary unlock to having upper-hand dominance in the TAMING UPDATE during 99 Nights In The Forest, providing solid passive abilities and straight access to needed items.
Locating the Taming Flute
Even though a Zookeeper begins with said crucial item, it is helpful for other players to know where it is in order to start taming.
Location: The Taming Flute will usually be located close to the Taming Tents, which tend to be set up near the central Campfire area.
Acquisition: The player can merely head to the location and take the Flute in order to start on their way of animal domestication.
Zookeeper Class Progression Perks
The Zookeeper class progression has three sturdy, sequential perks intended to make the whole taming process more streamlined:
Level 1 Mastery: You get an instant Taming Flute and your base taming speed gets a general boost.
Level 2 Efficiency: Creature taming restores a huge amount of their health, improving their survival chances in the long run.
Level 3 Acceleration: Your Taming Flute is fully optimized to enable you to tame any type of animal much faster.
The Taming Process and Advanced Strategy
Taming is not done once but consists of continuous interaction and feeding the appropriate diet. The procedure is the same for all creatures, even though the resources' cost doubles up for creatures of higher levels.
Step-by-Step Taming Protocol
In order to tame any creature successfully, follow the following precise sequence:
Start Taming: Approach the wild animal and play the Taming Flute. This initiates the taming mini-game, where you will need to keep a cursor (red line) within a specified area (green bar) to build trust.
Provide Rations: Once the first phase is completed, the animal will request its corresponding food item (Carrots, Steak, etc.).
Complete Capture: Completing the final required ration completes the capture, and the animal is officially your pet, acquiring a health bar and follow-ability.
Taming Criteria for High-Value Beasts
| Beast | Required Food & Interactions | Key Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Wolf | ≈ Six Steaks total; ≈ three Flute/feeding events | Requires multiple cycles of playing the Flute and feeding the required food. |
| Bear | Pumpkin Stew and Ribs, repeated three to five times | Needs prepared (cooked) food items to build trust. |
| Mammoth | Extremely resource-intensive | Commonly spotted in the Snow Biome, requiring highly advanced supplies. |
Taming high-end beasts, especially high-end biome beasts, takes some resources and some interactions:
Technical Notes and Known Limitations
Though the PET TAMING UPDATE in 99 Nights In The Forest has a rich set of features, there are some design features and known bugs that players need to be aware of.
Resource and Capacity Constraints
Pet Capacity Limit: Currently, players are capped at a hard limit of two active pets per run that are actually tamed and cared for. To tame a new beast, an existing pet must be released.
Taming Cooldown (Glitch): Players have reported a potential glitch where releasing a pet does not immediately allow the player to tame a substitute, suggesting an unintended cooldown is engaged.
New Creature Discovery
The patch introduced a completely new animal that resembles an anteater, known as the "Berber Otter." This new animal prefers to eat Berries, so players will have to find it where the berries have high spawns.
Did you modify your standard forest runs to encompass farming the right food items needed to tame the powerful Mammoth?
