The Taming Flute is the essential tool for domestication. It can be found in Abandoned Shelters, in rare chests scattered throughout the forest, as well as purchased from the Pelt Trader if you are lucky enough. If you purchase the Zookeeper class for Gems, you can also start with one Old Taming Flute already equipped. Once you acquire the flute, equip it from your inventory to start the taming mini-game.

There are three flute tiers:

  • 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 Zookeeper Class is the best for taming because it lets you have one extra pet, your taming is faster, feeding will restore more of the pet's health, as well as reduces the whole process by one step.

After equipping the Taming Flute, approach a wild animal you wish to tame. When prompted, begin the flute mini-game. Keep the marker inside the target zone by clicking until the timer ends to complete one taming attempt.

Each animal has a specific number of taming cycles required, along with preferred foods you need to find for it in 99 Nights. After every successful mini-game, the animal will display emotion icons, being either happy or angry faces. Feed the correct food until all faces turn happy. Repeat the process the required number of times to fully tame the creature.

Tamed animals can follow you, guard your base, or serve as companions. You can only have two pets tamed at a time without the Zookeeper class, so choose carefully before attempting new captures.
