Eliminate Common Animals Near the Rare You Want
Some animals will move in packs, or happen to be nearby other predators that can be tamed. This can cause a problem in several ways. One is that one of the common animals will be attracted to your bait instead of the rare you’re coveting. The second is that they may attack you while you’re in the middle of taming that highly elusive beast you’ve been following.
Eliminating any extra predators with some well-placed headshots and the use of one of your beast companions will make the act of taming a rare animal much smoother. If you’re just hunting the rare animal, though, fire at this one first so it doesn’t make a quick getaway.
With these few tips, you’ll find yourself rolling in rare animal hides, and walking alongside rare beasts in no time. If you need help with any other aspects of this game’s cruel world, be sure to check out our expanding wiki guide.
