New Mechanic: Taming Beasts & Monsters
Ready to enhance your tribe by taming Beasts & Monsters? On our social channels last week, we shared further details about the Taming Process for Gord, including introducing players to a new structure: The Taming House. Here are the steps to beginning this process in The Alliance DLC:
🔨 Build a Taming House

💪 Carry Monster to the Taming House
🖤 Begin the taming process
Once tamed, this creature becomes a Familiar and acts as a guardian to the player's unit. Level up this tamed monster by engaging this new Familiar in combat.
3 New Horrors
The Alliance brings three new Horrors to encounter:
- Walok: Gatekeeper to the Promised Land. Bargain with Walok, and the gods may send fortune, granting your passage through the treacherous mountains.
- Vodenyak: Lives in one of the new biomes- the Desert Barrens. Vodenyak has four tentacles, devouring all water and life energy from the land.
- Saragash: Introduced as Larva, Saragash is integral to The Alliance DLC. Gain Saragash's trust in to prevail against the Calanthians. Cross him however, and face the consequences!
