Luring an Animal
As you explore the game world of NieR Automata, you’ll come across wild animals like deer and wild boars. Initially, animals will be easily scared and attempt to flee when approached. You can attack them, but be cautious as they can also attack you and deal significant damage. If you do kill them, they may drop meat.
To tame an animal, you’ll need to purchase or find Animal Bait, which can lure wild animals to your location. Alternatively, you can buy a Sachet to make animals stop running away from you. It’s best to purchase a Sachet as soon as possible to make the process of taming animals easier.
Traveling on the Back of an Animal
Once you have bait or a Sachet, go to an area where you can find wild animals and use the bait or activate the Sachet. Wait for the animal to approach and then press the interaction button to ride it. You can use the animal to travel faster on the map and even ram into enemies by holding down R2. After dismounting, the animal will wait for you, but if you move too far away, it will disappear, and you’ll need to use another bait or Sachet.
Quality Sachet – Easy Animal Taming
Later in the game, you can make animal taming even easier by completing the Animal Care quest in Chapter 7, which rewards you with the Quality Sachet. This item makes animals stop running away from you, allowing you to tame them without any bait.
Starting now, it is possible to directly mount wild animals without using Animal Bait. This simplifies the process of using wild animals for faster travel.
