　　Next, build a gate or leave an opening in your pen. Go ahead and find a couple of boars and get them to follow you. Once the boars are upset and want to follow you to the ends of the earth to kill you, lead them back to your pen and quickly trap them inside.

　　Taming boars can be of great help to your survival in multiple ways.With that difficult step behind you, your next job is to tame the boars. To get them on your side, you'll need to feed them, so drop food like berries and mushrooms into the pen. Keep repeating this process, and slowly over the next few days, their tameness percentage will rise. Eventually, they'll come to love you and instead want to follow you to the ends of the earth just to be with you. Well, more like they'll wander around doing their own thing instead of following you, but it would be cool if developer Iron Gate AB let tamed boars tag alongside you on your journey in a future update.

　　As you keep more boars back at your camp, their pen will eventually fill up with little piggies who eventually grow into adult boars, providing you a consistent and steady supply of meat and leather scraps. This is a handy way to establish a little sustainability in your difficult quest to ascend into Valhalla. Just remember to keep throwing food into the pen for the boars so that they continue to thrive.
