One of the most rewarding aspects of Rune Slayer in Roblox is the chance to bond with Pets and eventually ride them. However, with so many types, conditions, and unique traits, mastering pet taming can feel quite intricate. That’s why this comprehensive guide on how to Tame Pets in Rune Slayer is here to simplify the process for you. Plus, you’ll find a complete list of every pet in the game.
Your Guide to Taming Pets in Rune Slayer
Taming a pet starts with selecting the right animal. Why is this crucial? To successfully tame a creature, you must acquire its preferred food and present it. Without this specific item, the animal won’t respond.
Take the Deer as an example: Apples are their favorite treat, and you can easily find them on trees near the pond in Wayshire.

Once you’ve gathered your Apples, head to the Wilderness located to the east of Wayshire.

Search for a Deer. Approach it and use M1 to strike it. Following the initial strike, take out your Apple—don’t eat it or harm the animal.

After a few moments, you’ll see a heart above the deer’s head. However, the heart can disappear, leading to the Deer becoming aggressive and interrupting the taming process.

It may take multiple attempts, but eventually, you’ll notice the heart growing larger, indicating that your taming efforts are successful.

And there you have it—you know how to tame pets in Rune Slayer! Remember, this guide focuses solely on taming Deer in the Wilderness. With over 10 additional pets available, you’re probably wondering how to unlock them all.

Mounting Your Pet in Rune Slayer

Pets in Rune Slayer are more than mere companions; they can also serve as mounts. To utilize this feature, reach level 20 and converse with Jimmy the Stable Master. He will assign you a quest to deliver a note to Ashenshire, the second area in the game. Follow the path, ascend a rope attached to a tree, and deliver the package back to him to earn your Saddle. Simple, isn’t it?
Taming the Golden Fairy in Rune Slayer

The Golden Fairy is a rare gem you can hunt down in the Greatwood Forest. You won’t need to feed it or use it in combat. To acquire this treasure, defeat Elder Treants, as they have a slim chance of dropping it. Once tamed, you’ll benefit from the Fairy Buff, granting you three additional loot rolls every time you defeat a monster, making the grind for rare items much easier—especially during boss battles.
