Taming animals has a lot of benefits in the game, one of which is protecting you from entities when you’re being attacked.

Here’s how you can tame animals in 99 Nights in the Forest easily.
Complete Guide to Taming Animals In 99 Nights in the Forest
To tame animals in 99 Nights in the Forest, you need Taming Flutes and food, depending on the animal. Once you’ve obtained that, find an animal on the expanded map and use the Taming Flute on an animal, which will trigger a mini-game. This mini-game is similar to the fishing mechanic in the game. You need to keep the red line inside the green bar that pops up when taming animals. The green bar will constantly move, so you need to balance the red line efficiently and fill up the bar beside it. Once you’ve done that, the mini-game will be completed.
Depending on the animal, you need to play this game multiple times and use higher-level Taming Flutes when you move on to the fiercer ones. If you have started with the Zookeeper Class, it will be easier for you to complete this mini-game since it enlarges the bar. The next step is feeding the animal. Once you’ve done that, you will successfully tame an animal and make them your pet in 99 Nights in the Forest. Here are the Taming Flute level and food requirements for each animal.
| Animal | Taming Flute Level Requirement | Food Required |
| Rabbit | 1 | 1x Carrot |
| Wolf | 1 | 2x Steaks (Total: 6) |
| Scorpion | 1 | 1x Steak (Total: 3) 1x Morsel (Total: 3) |
| Arctic Fox | 1 | 1x Steak (Total: 3) 1x Chili (Total: 3) |
| Aplha Wolf | 2 | 1x Steak (Total: 4) 1x Stew (Total: 4) 1x Corn (Total: 4) |

| Lava Mammoth | 3 | 2x Pumpkin (Total: 10) 1x Cake (Total: 5) |
| Mammoth | 3 | 2x Pumpkin (Total: 10) 1x Cake (Total: 5) |
Complete the mini-game, feed the animals as per their requirements, and you’ll unlock all the pets you want to defend against the dark entities and tag along for the entire journey in 99 Nights in the Forest.
