Can confirm, crouching on the sulfur arch where they spawn and throwing food down will get the job done. The yellow icon doesn't seem to impact the taming. Only the red "!" icon does. Just beware, Dvrger roam the ashlands and could end up killing them if you don't block the area off.

I was thinking of doing a video covering fable 1 like what it was meant to be, kind of commentary video would you be interested in something like that Keandros? I actually bought a over 20 year old game informer magazine on ebay that talks about project ego (fables name before it became fable)

Just to note, 1 star Asksvins can spawn during the daytime also. I've countered many and have tamed some but haven't had luck with 2 star Asksvin.

Thank you for the comment! You are correct I made this during the test realm and didnt see them in my testing but once it came out I see the 1 stars all the time during the day! and they are easy to get im going to cover that briefly in my new video!

You definitely need a crafting bench nearby the food so it doesn't despawn.

Samo: taming an asksvin, preferably a 2 star will be one of the first things you want to do in the ashlands Also samos: 2 stars appear at night, so you need decent ashlands tier gear.

Lol, first thing tame a 1 star when you geared then go after a 2 star. At some point, upgrade to a 2 star. You know what I was getting at though.

I tamed a one star and rode it around today, good fun, though they need to adjust the healing Regen when fed, as it's presumably only balanced for boars and wolves, so it's very slow for high hp tames.

@Samoooooooo

Yeah i noticed sometimes they heal to full instantly sometimes slowly overtime maybe its something to do with hunger levels

ATM it is a bit useless as it runs of to any mob, basically if you ride it in ashlands if you turn your back at any given point it will ghost you and go to the nearest target losing the asksvin and the saddle.

And they can't jump. Just lost one by hitting a pile of downed trees where I got caught up by a big group who almost one shot it. Fortunately managed it later so have a ton of lizards popping 1 star eggs (2 on the tooltip). They do not need to be that near to fire to be warm. Mine are all working in a seperate room.

Just a wild idea, would be nice if you could actually ride the asksvin like a knight/cavalry. Imagine catching an enemy attack with a parry, staggering them, then your purple hul... asksvin takes a nice bite out of the enemy. Or at least shooting with bows, crossbows and staffs.

Great research and outstanding video. New sub! No idea how you managed to pronounce that name correctly nearly every time, well done.

Note: I believe Asksvins will NOT breed if a ceiling is built too low over their heads. They require some clearance above them (over 10m to be safe?). (Probably should be mentioned around 4:50)

@MrSageOlorin

Ай бұрын

This is not true, at least as far as lox are concerned. Lox *can* breed under a covered roof, it just has to be at least 10m taller than the lox. The problem lies in the fact that they are a 'large' creature, and 'see' things from the perspective of a troll. Therefore, if the roof is too low, they can't 'see' the food to path to it.

I tamed the first pair with a hole, which I surrounded walls with. Once they got tamed, after a few minutes an airstrike came in over the walls and completely annihilated both askers. Had to do the whole thing again, which was super freaking frustrating... but then I completely blocked off the hole, breaking all line of sight towards the outside, so no creature beyond my little taming hole knew we were in there.... Had them pop 2 eggs and off I was. I can't imagine how had it could be to get a 2star egg

So, turns out it's not as easy as expected! I tamed a 1*, but it almost died to a randomly night-spawned Valkyrie (was waiting on taming its mate), then at low health died to a nearby morgen. I tamed the mate (no star), but it also died to a 1* warrior that got knocked into its pit. I think I need to build an outer wall to keep the baddies away! Also, mounted asksvins CANNOT be taken through portals.

On a serious note though, at least with controller they are really easy to ride , but yes if you stop controlling them or get off them they are spazzoids and run away so you gotta change how you think about them they arent wolves. When you ride them out to battle think of them as disposable. and the no star asksvin in further research is pretty useless in the ashlands you need the 1 star at min. Wolves still have their place , they are actually probably better for base defense because the fact that asksvins wander hella far away and do damage to structures but they can be super useful to breed like 60 up in your ashlands base and let them spread out but im going to cover that in my next video maybe that will help give you an idea how to use them most effectively and I do appreciate the constructive criticism and hopefully the next video will feel like you didnt waste your time , have a wonderful day :D
