How to tame animals in Harvest Moon The Winds of Anthos

Welcome to the enchanting world of Harvest Moon The Winds of Anthos, where taming wild animals is an essential part of your farming journey. In this blog post, we will dive into the process of taming animals and earning their trust. We will explore the various strategies and techniques you can employ to successfully tame animals and integrate them into your farm life.

When approaching wild animals in Harvest Moon The Winds of Anthos, it is crucial to slow down your character's movement. Sudden movements may startle the animals and make them wary of your presence. Utilize the sneak button to approach them quietly, showing them that you mean no harm. However, once you have filled one or two musical notes, you can adopt a less cautious approach, as the animals will begin to recognize you as a friend.

Interacting with wild animals is the first step towards taming them. Begin by petting and feeding the animal, which will help establish a bond of trust. This can be done by selecting the appropriate options when interacting with the animal. After petting and feeding, click on the "Pet" option to add two musical notes, indicating that the animal is becoming comfortable with your presence. To fully tame an animal, you will need to fill at least 5 to 8 musical notes, so be patient and consistent in your interactions.

To house the animals you have tamed, it is essential to have a functioning barn. Progress through the main quests to ensure your barn is up and running. Most wild animals take up one slot in your barn, so plan your space accordingly. Additionally, Doc, the resident carpenter, possesses the ability to upgrade your barn, allowing you to house more animals as your farm expands. It is worth mentioning that you can also keep one small pet inside your house, adding a touch of companionship to your daily routine.

Building trust with animals requires regular outings and interactions. Each animal has its own unique preferences and habitats, so it is essential to explore different regions, times, and seasons to find and build trust with various animals. Some animals may only be found in specific areas or during certain seasons, adding an exciting element of exploration to your taming endeavors. Remember to be patient and consistent in your interactions, as it takes time for animals to fully trust and accept you as their caretaker.
