EDIT AS OF MARCH 23, TAMING OF THE TWO STAR WOLVES HAS CHANGED. THEY DON'T DESPAWN ANYMORE. Please leave a like on Steam. Thank you! steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2402730212

I guess I'm a two star human cuz my dad disappeared during the night too

Years of taming high level dinos on Ark have prepared me for this moment...

This is criminally under-rated info. Thanks a ton.

I genuinely like that you explain everything like I'm an idiot. Because I am an idiot. Easy to follow and helpful video thank you

I love the "I will actually show you's" in this clip. They are extremely helpful and not many youtubers actually show it. Great work!

This was a totally missed opportunity to legitimately refer to that remote base as the "Love Shack". Edit: This is awesome! All the work makes it even better.

The recent patch fixed the wolf despawning so now you can just tame your 2 star wold and take it home, no need to breed unless you want more.

Easy way around is just building a den and a house right as the mountain ends and lure the wolf there , no worries about drakes or the cold this way

Great video. One small correction. Two-star wolves ONLY spawn at night. There are many types of creatures whose starred versions will ONLY spawn at night.

damn i dont regret spoiling myself on this. imagine having my 2 star despawn after all that time

Cant imagine the pain you guys went through to learn all this info. Thanks for sharing

Best and most detailed tutorial ever! 👍 Especially the part about despawning and the actual IRL time needed to tame a two star is extremely helpful (am playing solo so will have to be very well prepared)

This helped so incredibly much I came back at least three more times to check I was doing it right. You were awesome to make this. Thanks a bunch. I now have the makings of my very own wolfpack :)

It's like watching ancient people actually tame and breed dogs, lol.

This is the most helpful guide I've found on this topic. Others are saying that 2 stars don't despawn anymore, but I can assure you that they do. I spent most of the day today trying to tame one and had 2 despawn after I ported back to my base. Thanks again.

Thanks for this great tips. I'm do it much simpler by accident. When I'm put 2 stars wolf into the pit, there's another wolf tag along. So, I'm just lazy and put 2 of them in one pit and tame it together. Put a bunch of meat inside and go AFK. When I'm come back, they are breeding on their own inside the pit and I got double 2 stars cub right away.

Glad to see newer creators popping up in my feed. Also great video guide. Thanks for the great tutorial.

You dont need to sneak, just build a floor maybe double floor on the pit and you can chill up there and the wolf will be below you, without agro and without seeing you, if you are close to him it will speed up the taming process and sleeping near the wolf will speed it up by a lot obviously and then you can bring the 2 wolves inside the pit but its up on you if you can survive there the 2 hours IRL it'll like 1 hour, good video, thanks lady

hope they add a radial menu to give these wolves commands such as sit, guard, sneak and attack. horses would be awesome too

AMAZING very helpful video! Can't wait until I get a 2 star wolf army.

Very helpful, boutta embark on this several hour long quest. Wish me luck!

Possibly the most detailed and complete task guide I've ever seen across several games. This was so helpful.

Brilliant video, helped me out a lot, thanks Meshell, Tyrant and Twisted

Instead of running the 2 star wolf to a house, just bring the normal wolf to the pit. A lot easier and less stressful/frantic. Breed IN the pit.

Quick tip: You don't need wolf armor or even frost resist mead if you pre-dig a pen with a (few) campfire(s). Just make sure to roof 'em properly and they'll stay lit. You can start taming wolves pretty much as soon as you start a new char if you know what you're doing.

Great tutorial!! You explained everything so clearly. This is super helpful. Thank you!

Amazing In-depth wolf taming video guide! Couldn't have been easy to put all this info and footage together, thanks for all your time and hard work (and that of your friend also), moreover, your explanations were comprehensive and thorough. Thank you! ***EDIT*** - Finally did it, and thank you again! My original star wolf never despawned after taming, perhaps they fixed that bug since? Also i built a small hut with bed in that sweet zone near the pit so i could sleep the nights away (and still be taming the wolf) and speed the process up a bit, (thankfully) the wolf was still there each morning, a gamble, i know.

Great video. I would have done it a little different, I would have left one person at the 2 star and one goes and gets the normal wolf and put it in the pit with the now tame 2 star and let them breed there. That way you don't run the risk of losing your new Wolf on the way to the cabin. Or, build a cabin closer whilst in the taming period...

Pro tip! Wards keep their area of affect active, you can build a little shelter with a ward inside and bail while the wolf acclimates

Excellent video. Excellent narration. Great job guys.

EXCELLENT content. good tips on the two star thing, I wasn't aware of the night time limitations or the despawning. THANKS.

You can also swim them across, I did it with 4 wolves getting them to the swamp, just have them follow, swim until stam is gone and log out, log back in and full stam again and the wolves will be right by you, just click them to follow and rinse and repeat until you make the shore, took me around 10 times of doing this

Hold your shield out when pushing tamed animals, it makes your collision box wider wich makes it much easier to push them around.

By FAR the best wolf taming vid I've seen.

Excellent video. You have good, clear speach and pacing along with a lot of detailed info. Many tubers start talking really fast, rushing when they feel they are making too long of a vid. I prefer the detail and the lack of speed talking! Just last night, we encountered our first 2 star. I had a tamed 1 star run off into the mountains when I told him to follow. Had the tame 2 star despawn after practicing my sneak skill for 4 game nights when I went to bring the mate into the taming pit (my error for trying it during the day, but the rest of the group was getting antsy because they were waiting to do a boss fight). Breeding the 2 star with a normal to see if the pups stayed was going to be my final experiment before giving up on them! 7:12 Confirmed one and two stars were only eating at night (even if hungry during the day), although they would get taming progress during the day if they were still under the food timer. It averaged to 4 game nights for a 1 or 2 star tame, though, as it did in your example. They would despawn if out of vision for a certain (short) time. Stam and healing potions can help with getting out of the trap. Bonemass buff can help with surviving the wolf. I also appreciate the tip to getting them in the boat, that was something else I was going to experiment with. Great time savings.

I did not know the wolves were buggy like this! That explains why they kept disappearing on me.

Incredibly frustrating task. In 6 hours of hunting I've only seen one 2 star wolf when its pack ambushed and killed me at the crack of dawn and then despawned.

The information you provided in this video is unbelievably amazing thank you!

thanks your valheim guides are amazing, really brought me up to speed with my friends who had already finished the game when I started !

This video has aged like wine, it still works perfectly. I followed his tutorial while he was in the trap I made on the ground, I managed to take him to a nearby hut to breed at the night. Now I just need to have my two puppies and take them to the base. However, I can say that I didn't have to wait 2 hours near the wolf, I just left food and continued playing normally, and coming back using a portal periodically to see how the process was going. It didn't despawn at any point so the method is still viable. I just love this game. Thank you a lot, have my like

Very comprehensive, detailed vid. Thank you for the great info!

My freaking God dude! You're a genius ! Subbed !!

best wolftaming vid i found so far. cudos!

If you build a house and go to sleep, that counts as a fulls day cycle. Saving you a lot of time.

you dont need to walk away from the wolf if aggroed ... just need to stay out of sight until it no longer aggroed to you

How have I not seen more of your channel? This is very clear and informative. I love you repeat the important stuff a few times so that forgetful or easily-distracted folks like me can still get the info. Thank you for this! (Also, it's nice to meet another gamer gal. o7)

Some very solid info there Wolf Whisperer!

"you can see the wolf is in this house, and it is just chillin up in here" sounds like a regular monday to me

dam i wish I had more time to session this game with you guys. Work and juggling two other games is brutal haha. That base is looking epic.

great video and very informative thanks a bunch!

Really to the point and clear. Great job and thank you!

Crafting table prevents stuff from despawning in its radius, supposedly taming animals too. Nice video btw.

Its easier to sneak around animals you're taming by staying downwind from them. (The arrow in the bottom left of mini-map shows wind direction).

thanks so much for the video it was very informational and your pleasant to listen to you are not screaming in my ears and talking 100 miles an hour like everything is panic mode like so many youtubers do these days, i cannot even tollerate watching half of them bc of that lol. thanks for being chill lady :)

thanks for that hard work !

Tip: If you parry the wolf for a few moments you can push it into the trap so you don't have to risk dying. Happy Afterlife!

The last patch fixed the bug on taming the two-star wolf. Maybe y’all could update this video.

Such a nice information video! So detailed thank u so much

Honestly was great video thanks for the info

I spent many frustrating hours burning through health potions and repairing wooden walls, begging the wolf to eat. If only I watched this first... could have knocked out some netflix smh

You could use the harpoon to get the wolf into the house during the day. Also you could start with the 2 star wolf and once it is in the pit just lure another no star wolf during the day into the same pit and breed them in the pit once both are tamed.

i was expecting copper and i found Black Metal! this video is amazing! thank you sooo much!

Amazing high quality video, congratulations!

Wow...a solid guide no fuckin around just facts. Thanks!

I hope they don't add in-breeding problems and Prion Diseases to the game

Your hardwork will not be wasted! I will make an army of them just have them in the base. Gotta grind some deers and boars now

This was a really helpful vid

Mannn, the abyssal harpoon would help you a ton in this situation!

The wolf ran off to get some cigarettes or something

Great video. Super easy to understand.

Well done. Thanks for bringing out this info to everyone

these two star wolves are huge omg

I hope the only night time taming is a bug to be fixed

Great video! Thank you

Thank you for a fantastic video with crucial info, well done!

Until a deathsquito comes in and wipes your pack out like it’s nothing... I’m still salty

Are the one-star wolfs bugged aswell? Edit: Yes they are. De-spawn in daylight if you get to far away.

Thank you for the info. I'd be furious if I finally tamed one and then it despawned and didn't know about this

Great video loads of useful info thank you

It takes so long tame a 1 star wolf, and it die from a fire pit in the house...like bruh

What if you make a little shack right next to the pit so you can sleep, would that cut down on the real world time investment? Or do they not make taming progress when you sleep?

This was *very* helpful. Thank you.

Very nicely explained an helpful video. I don't see it as a bug though that the 2-star wolf you tame runs away during daytime. Makes sense that only those bred in captivity do not have instinct that makes the original one return to it's old habits (ruleset). I actually love it that this dynamic is in the game. They only need to make it more immersive than it just despawning.

Any tips for doing the same thing for a 2 star boar? Are they found at night too, and do they have the same bug?

I hope our video was Extremly helpfull... Never heard someone say that phrase before

Amazing video. Can't wait to try this out

"Travel it with ship" Very helpful video! Thanks for making it!

This is why I’m happy there are console commands. I don’t have two hours to sit in a game to tame a wolf

Hah my friend has Tamed a troll! It is only as tame as it can't see you though...

Great video! thank you for all the help!

Wow ! great effort brings great reward, very well done.

Got two, came back a day, and they're both dead. :(

when taming for 2 hours can u build a shack to sleep in and build a fire?

Watched a few of your ark videos and subbed then. This is such a good quality guide. Thank you.

I got lucky finding my 2 star on the 4th night checking my wolf spawn locations. I'm excited now that I have 2 puppies with 2 stars. Thank you for your video 😘

"Here's the thing..."

and here I thought ARK breeding was a lot of work.... Great video though :)

Woaw that lil' wolf is so cuuuute I definitely want one too :) thanks for that clearly explained video!

Very nice, Thank you!
