Interacting with Eagle grants the following knowledge entries:
This NPC can be interacted with through the Trust system by greeting and giving gifts.
Eagles are one of the predator birds that can be tamed with the bird-feeder item Sigil of Bond. The loop is the same as for any other bird: drop the feeder on the ground, load it with the bird's preferred food, wait for the eagle to land, and feed it until trust reaches 100. Place the Sigil on high ground such as a cliff edge or hilltop for the best results, and try to line it up with the path an eagle is already circling. The full bird taming workflow, including daily feeding caps and how the Sigil of Bond item is first unlocked, is covered on the Pet Taming Guide.
Wait times for birds to descend are typically between two and six minutes once the feeder is loaded and placed along an active flight path. Placement matters more than patience: a Sigil set below the cliff line or off the flock's loop can sit for the whole session without attracting anything, while a feeder placed near the high edge of the same ridge pulls birds in far faster.
Eagles are predator birds, which means they prefer meat over bugs, grain, or fish. Lean Meat is the best single option, giving 35 trust per feed and letting a full tame happen inside one in-game day if the feeding cap allows it. Stocking the Sigil of Bond with a mixed load is still worthwhile when farming an area with more than one bird type, because bugs and fish attract smaller bird species that may also drop in along the same flight path.
Usable bait sources for a Sigil loaded with eagle in mind:
Meat: town butchers sell lean meat in stacks; the butcher in Hernand typically restocks at around 20 to 25 lean meat per visit, enough to fill a feeder several times. Skinning wild game after a hunt also produces lean meat if you prefer to gather it yourself.
Bugs: the Kuku Insect Gatherer's Pack sweeps insects in a nearby area at the press of a button and is far faster than catching bugs by hand. Bugs are not the eagle's preferred food, but carrying some on hand lets the same Sigil catch smaller birds in between eagle landings.
Fish: dedicated fish merchants sell roughly 5 to 10 fish per stock, with one merchant in most major ports. The Gray Rock Dock vendor is a reliable source near the western coast. Like bugs, fish does not maximize eagle trust but makes the Sigil more productive when smaller predator birds share the area.
The most reliable farming spot for eagles is Five-Finger Mountain. Climb to a high cliff placement along a flight path the eagles already circle, drop the Sigil of Bond at the top, and load it with lean meat. In practice a 10 to 15 minute camping session at a good cliff slot produces multiple eagle landings, and the same spot also pulls in hawks, pigeons, and crows when the Sigil is stocked with a mixed load. Because the mountain runs cold, bring armor or food that offsets cold weather before committing to a long farming run.
Both the Bald Eagle and the Steppe Eagle variants of this pet spawn in the Five-Finger Mountain area, and either one can land at the same feeder placement. A second productive spot has been reported elsewhere on the same mountain when players are already camping for other birds, so if the first cliff line is slow, move along the ridge rather than giving up on the area.
Once tamed, the eagle behaves like any other bird companion. When summoned it flies near the player during exploration and combat, and it will autonomously pick up items that drop within its flight radius, letting the player stay focused on fighting rather than looting. Eagles can be summoned or dismissed from the pet menu in the inventory tab and swapped freely with any other tamed companion.
The eagle is one of the larger flying pets, which changes how it perches. The Pororin Petal Hat makes smaller flying companions like crows and sparrows land on the brim of the hat, but the eagle is too large to fit there and continues to perch on the player's arm when idle, whether or not the hat is equipped. Players who want the hat-perch pose should keep a smaller bird on deck alongside the eagle and swap between them from the pets tab.
Trust gain during the tame is the same system used for cats, dogs, and other birds, so abyss gear that boosts trust per interaction applies to eagles the same way it applies to every other pet. See Companion Trust for the full trust mechanics and the Sighting of the Phoenix article for the related legendary bird hunt, which uses the same bow-and-arrow approach that works well when clearing hostile wildlife around a farming cliff.
