The easiest and best Boar trapping method inValheimis to firstbuilda pen out of wooden Roundpole Fences.

It doesn’t have to be huge, just a dozen or so fences.

Leave a gap, because you’ll need to lure a boar into the pen.

Once the pen is constructed, find a Boar and get it to attack you.

Run back into the pen, then jump over the fence once the Boar has followed you inside.

Boar taming

So you’ve trapped the Boar, but now how do you tame it?

Toss the food over the fence and wait for the Boar to eat it.

Thus begins the chain reaction.

Higher level enemies are tougher and stronger, and drop more loot when killed.

And then they’ll breed with one another for guaranteed boars of the same level.

Selective breeding is rather smashing, eh?

You should periodically approach your Boar pen and see if any of them have become hungry.

If so, feed them.

Lack of food will eventually result in death by starvation, so keep on top of your responsibilities here.

That just about covers all our Valheim Boar related knowledge.
