- Tier 1 Flute: Can tame basic creatures like Rabbits, Wolves, Scorpions, and Arctic Foxes.
- Tier 2 Flute: Needed for mid-tier beasts such as Alpha Wolves.
- Tier 3 Flute: Required for powerful animals like Bears, Mammoths, and Lava Mammoths.
The Zoo Keeper Class is the best for taming because it increases the success rate and reduces the difficulty of the taming bar mini-game, giving you a much higher chance of success on stronger creatures.

After equipping the Taming Flute, approach a wild animal you wish to domesticate. When prompted, begin the flute mini-game. A timed bar challenge similar to the fishing mechanic. Keep the marker inside the target zone until the timer ends to complete one taming attempt.
Each animal has a specific number of taming cycles required, along with preferred foods. After every successful mini-game, the animal will display emotion icons, being either happy or angry faces.
