How do you raise raw meat?
Hunting of wild boar
Boar hunting is one of the easiest ways to get raw meat, because these animals don’t run away, they attack you.
Most players find boars easy to kill, but if you’re just starting out you may have some trouble killing them.
You can kill a boar quickly with a sneak attack with your bow, shooting from a distance to do more damage.
If you fight a boar man-to-man, it will try to ram you and you should be able to dodge it, but watch out for multiple boars in the same area.
Wild boar are common in the prairie biome.
Deer Hunter
Deer can be quite frustrating for some players, especially if you don’t hunt them with a bow, as they run fast.
If you try to attack a deer in close combat, it may flee unless you manage to surprise it or use a knife, as you can also attack while moving.
When shooting a deer, it is best to shoot it from a distance with your bow so you can kill it with an arrow.
Reindeer are often seen in the meadows and biomes of the Black Forest.
Hunting of wolves
Wolves can give you meat if they are killed, but they are not the easiest creatures to find, as you must travel through the mountains of the Biome.
This can be a bit tricky for most players, as wolves are fast and do a lot of damage which can make you, the hunter, a prey.
Cattle
An easy way to grow raw meat is to tame animals used as livestock, such as. B. Wolves and wild boars, because they can reproduce infinitely.
From this point on, you can only raise wild boar and wolves, and you can do this by keeping them in a pen or protected area and throwing in whatever food you want.
If your bears or wolves have eaten, they will show up happy and mate if they are close enough to produce a baby.
This gives you an unlimited supply of meat, which is especially advantageous against level 2 or 3 enemies.
Use of raw meat
There are several recipes for raw meat, and in addition to the usual cooked meat, the foods available later bring the player significant benefits.
Cooking
- Cooked meat (cooking station)
- Sausages (wok)
- Turnip stew
Cooked meat gives the player 40 health points and 30 stamina points, and a regeneration of 2 health points per tick for 1200 seconds.
The sausages give your character 60 health points and 40 stamina points, and 3 health recovery points per tick for 1600 seconds.
Beet Stew restores your character’s health and stamina to 50 health and 2 health per tick for 1600 seconds.
Raw meat can also be used to tame wolves and feed them for breeding.
Taming and breeding of wolves
Raw meat is one of the foods wolves eat when tamed (sausage is another), and you need a good amount of it if you want to tame and breed them.
Once the wolf is tamed, it will often have a hungry attitude, so you have to throw some meat around so it can eat.
Once a wolf is fed, it can mate with another fed wolf and produce a wolf pup that will later become a full-fledged wolf.

The best ways to grow raw meat in Walheim
Cattle
Cattle is the best way to get lots of raw meat, and it works best if you have 2nd or 3rd generation bears or wolves.
Boars are easier to tame, so they are the first choice of rough players, while others prefer wolves because of their fighting abilities and resource diversity.
The more pens you have for your tame animals, the more they can breed and provide you with an endless supply of meat.
Hunting distance
You can stick to a hunting routine that focuses on specific locations on the map or bypass them entirely.
You can start in one place and work your way around, killing all the animals in the area to get a good amount of meat when you come back.
In some areas there are rune stones that you can mark to find out where the usual spawning areas are.
Verdict
Raw meat is more useful than you think, and that’s because it feeds your character.
Eating food that you can prepare later, such as. B. Steamed sausages and beets, your character gains more health points and stamina.
Recipes such as sausages and stews are likely to be available to you if you go to the swamp biome, as their raw materials can be grown there.
It is best to cook only the amount of cooked meat you need and save the remaining raw meat for later.
