In the latest Pact of the Flame update, Enshrouded introduces the adorable Dune Armadillo, a large yet endearing tameable farm animal. If you’re eager to welcome one of these charming creatures into your virtual menagerie, you’ll need to be well-prepared. This guide will walk you through the essential steps for taming a Dune Armadillo in Enshrouded.

How to Tame a Dune Armadillo

Taming a Dune Armadillo involves a series of straightforward steps:

Create Dune Armadillo bait.
Locate a Dune Armadillo in the wild.
Engage in the taming process.
Establish a Dune Armadillo Feeder and Large Animal Bed.

Let’s dive deeper into each of these essential tasks to help you secure your own giant Armadillo companion.

Crafting Dune Armadillo Bait

To obtain Dune Armadillo Bait, interact with the Farmer NPC, Emily Frey, and select the option to craft the bait. You will need the following materials:

1 Saffron – A pink-flowered plant located in the Kindlewastes.
1 Yucca Fruit – Fruit sourced from a palm-like plant in the Kindlewastes.
1 Flour – Made from grinding Wheat Grains at a Grinding Stone.
1 Sage Leaf – Another pink-flowered plant found in the Nomad Highlands.

To clarify, Saffron and Yucca Fruit are found in the Kindlewastes, while Flour is produced at your base’s Grinding Stone. Sage Leaves can be harvested in the Nomad Highlands. Each crafting session yields 10 Dune Armadillo Bait, ample for taming one armadillo. However, it is wise to gather extra Saffron and Yucca Fruit for later food preparations.

Finding Dune Armadillo Locations

Your next mission is to locate a Dune Armadillo, which is relatively easy as they inhabit the same territory where you gather bait ingredients. Explore the Kindlewastes, especially on the eastern side of the world map, where sandy landscapes and deserts abound.

Search the sandy plains diligently, and aim to find a Dune Armadillo in an open area devoid of threats. This is crucial, as nearby enemies can frighten it away or potentially lead to its demise, negating your hard work.

Steps to Tame a Dune Armadillo

To initiate the taming, crouch down and approach the Dune Armadillo slowly; sudden movements may scare it off. Position the Dune Armadillo Bait along its path. With a few attempts, the armadillo will likely take the bait.

When it starts eating, inch closer until you see a yellow ‘?’ symbol appearing above its head. If you notice a red ‘!’ symbol, retreat immediately. If the ‘?’ symbol vanishes, you can safely pet the Armadillo, which will reward you with one red heart.

This process must be repeated three times to accumulate three red hearts for successful taming. Be cautious; disruption from enemies or sudden movements can reset your taming efforts. With practice, mastering the taming routine becomes straightforward, allowing you to secure multiple Dune Armadillos.

Caring for Your Dune Armadillo

Now that your Dune Armadillo is tamed, it’s time to ensure its well-being. First, you’ll need to craft Dune Armadillo Food using the following ingredients:

1 Saffron
2 Yucca Fruits
2 Sugar Canes

As it would be inefficient to continuously feed your armadillo manually, constructing a Dune Armadillo Feeder is essential. You will require the following materials:

7 Wood Logs
1 Nail

Moreover, your Dune Armadillo will need a comfortable place to rest, so craft a Large Animal Bed with these resources:

8 Twigs
5 Straw
2 Conifer Logs

With your new friend settled and cared for, you are all set to enjoy your adventures together. For further insights, explore our guides on acquiring Metal Scraps and Ammonia Glands.
