How to tame it

  1. You need to be level 35 or higher: Tame Beast only works on beasts of your level or lower.
  2. Dismiss or stable your current pet first. Tame Beast does not work while another pet is out.
  3. It is elite, so it hits much harder than a normal beast of its level, and the channel takes about 20 seconds. Pull it into a Freezing Trap, start Tame Beast while it is frozen, and wear your best armor. A friend who heals you makes it much safer.
  4. Rares come back slowly (12–24 h in Classic) and other hunters look for them too. Check every spawn point before you wait at one.
  5. After the tame, use Feed Pet with meat to keep it happy.
