More about taming the VR Shadowmane
A Shadowmane only takes food while it is asleep, which it is during the day. Put a filled Fish Basket in your last hotbar slot, wear Ghillie or drink Cactus Broth, and approach it from behind rather than walking up to its face, because waking it ends the attempt. Only the size of the trapped fish matters, and it decides everything: the biggest cost no effectiveness at all, smaller ones bleed it on every feed.
VR Shadowmane uses passive taming, requiring no knockout. Feed it Extraordinary Kibble to tame efficiently. Raw Meat also works but is significantly slower.
Taming takes about 8 Extraordinary Kibble and lasts around 171,921 minutes. Use the calculator below for your settings.
