How to tame monsters in Rune Factory 5

In Rune Factory 5, you aren't going to be taking care of cows and chickens. Instead, you are going to be bringing monsters back from your journey to take their place. This system will likely be familiar to those who have played previous games in the Rune Factory series.

You gain the ability to catch monsters during the game's tutorial phase. By using this ability to cast your spell seal, you can get a monster like a Wooly to join your party easily. At this stage, this spell can help give you a small army of party members to take into the dungeon with you.

Keep in mind that there are also methods in the game like brushing and love weapons. We are still checking out just how effective these are. Keep in mind that some bosses do seem tameable, but they will likely require expansive items to bring home.
