11Overview22The Large Wolf is a temporary mount in Crimson Desert. This grey-furred wolf is the standard large variant found throughout the temperate forests and wilderness of Pywel. It shares identical base stats with the Large White Wolf (its snow-region counterpart) and occupies a middle ground between the small Swift Wolf and the massive Gristle Wolf.44Large Wolves are among the most commonly encountered rideable predators in the game. They are widespread enough that players will run into them naturally while exploring, making them a convenient if short-lived mount option when no horse is available nearby.77Stats99The Large Wolf's stats are identical to the Large White Wolf. This reflects a solid mid-tier predator mount:1111With 250 Health and 70 Attack, the Large Wolf is capable in light combat encounters. It has enough durability to survive a few hits and enough attack power to deal meaningful damage to regular enemies. However, its 20 Defense means it takes full damage from most attacks, so extended fights will drain its health quickly.1313How to Obtain1515The Large Wolf follows the standard predator mount acquisition method in Crimson Desert:1717Locate a Large Wolf in the forested wilderness. They are commonly found in the temperate regions of Pywel, including areas around Hernand and the central woodlands.Engage it in combat and deal damage until it collapses into a stunned state.Press the mount prompt (Square on PlayStation, X on Xbox) to climb on before the wolf recovers.1919Large Wolves frequently travel in packs with smaller wolves. Engaging a pack can be tricky because the smaller wolves will attack you while you focus on the large one. Try to pull the Large Wolf away from its pack, or use area-of-effect abilities to manage the smaller wolves while keeping your damage focused on your target.2121Temporary Mount Notice2323The Large Wolf is a temporary mount (Fleeting Companion). This means:2525It cannot be registered at any stable or recalled through the mount menu.It cannot be equipped with any mount gear.It does not gain experience or level up.Once you dismount, the wolf becomes hostile immediately.If it dies during the ride, you are thrown off and left on foot.2727Tips2929Large Wolves are widespread in temperate forests, making them one of the most accessible predator mounts. If you need a quick ride and no horse is nearby, look for a wolf pack.Use moderate attacks when subduing a Large Wolf. Its 250 HP is low enough that a few heavy hits can kill it outright before you get the chance to mount.The Large Wolf works well for short bursts of mounted combat against small enemy groups, but avoid dragging it into prolonged fights.After dismounting, put distance between yourself and the wolf immediately. It will become hostile and attack you on sight.Riding a Large Wolf registers its entry in the Fleeting Companions section of the Knowledge Journal.3131Related Articles3333MountsTemporary MountsLarge White WolfGristle WolfSwift WolfHunting3535Patch 1.07.00 Update: Permanent Wolf Mount3737Patch 1.07.00 added the Large Wolf to the list of wolves you can permanently tame and register as a Special Mount. The earlier sections of this article describe the pre-1.07 behaviour, when a Large Wolf could only be ridden temporarily after staggering it. Under the new system you can drive its trust to one hundred, choose Take In, and call the wolf at any stable. The grey-furred Large Wolf is now the entry-level rideable wolf variant, distinct from the snow-region Large White Wolf added in the same patch and from the legendary Silver Fang line.3939Confirmed Spawn Locations4141Three reliable Large Wolf spawn sites are confirmed in 1.07. Wolves move in packs at every site, with one obviously larger alpha wolf among the smaller pack members. Only the larger alpha is tameable; smaller wolves cannot be ridden and must be killed or kited away to clear the area.4343LocationRegionApproachNotesHowling Hill camp ridgeHernandLand at the camp fast travel point and run west to the small mountain top just left of the marker.If only smaller wolves appear, kill them, fast travel back to the camp, and run out again to reload the spawn. The larger wolf often appears on a refreshed pack.Silver Wolf Cave fast travelPailuneFrom Pailune town head south to the Whaywoods. The pack spawns near the fast travel point at the bottom of the hill below the cave entrance.Pack may not appear on every visit. Reload the area by fast travelling away and back if the spawn is empty.Fort OcelonPailuneNorth of Pailune near the abandoned mine; drop down to the ledge just below the fast travel point.Same kite-and-tame loop as the other two sites.4545Taming Method4646The 1.07 taming flow uses Force Palm as the recommended stun rather than ordinary weapon damage. The goal is to subdue the alpha wolf without killing it.4848StepAction1Bring at least three pieces of meat from any butchery or village butcher. Bird meat grants 35 trust per feeding; other meats grant 40 trust.2Save before engaging. Wolves can be killed by accident with strong weapons and respawns are slow.3Kite the smaller pack wolves away from the alpha and kill them with normal attacks. Avoid hitting the large alpha during this phase.4Once the alpha is alone, use Force Palm repeatedly. After several stuns the wolf's head drops and a Ride prompt appears next to it.5Press the Ride button (Square on PlayStation, X on Xbox) to mount. Do not dismount during the trust loop.6Open the inventory while mounted, select a meat, hold the use button, and choose Feed. Trust climbs by roughly 35 to 40 per feeding.7When trust reaches 100, the Take In prompt appears at the bottom right (Triangle on PlayStation, Y on Xbox). Confirm to register the Large Wolf as a permanent mount.5050Wolf Saddle Vendors5151Two saddleries sell saddles compatible with the Large Wolf. Both locations stock the same wolf saddle option, so pick whichever is closer to your current play loop.5353Vendor LocationRegionNotesHernand main town stableHernandThe main saddlery on the north side of the city stocks the wolf saddle alongside its standard horse tack inventory.Gold Leaf Trading PostHernandNear the Greyman camp. The trading post vendor sells the same wolf saddle.5555The wolf saddle is one of several special-mount saddles introduced in the 1.06/1.07 patches; see All Saddles for the cross-mount saddle directory and Special Mounts for the broader system overview.5656Tips for the Tame5858Make a save at the fast travel point before engaging the pack. A misplaced sword strike on the alpha is the most common cause of a failed tame.6060Bring a low-damage backup weapon. The Bamboo Spear (3 attack) and other very weak tools are reliable backups if you find your equipped weapon is killing the smaller pack wolves too easily or splash-damaging the alpha.6262Carry both bird meat and standard meat. Bird meat grants 35 trust per feeding, other meats grant 40. Three pieces of any meat are usually enough to push the trust meter from zero to 100 once you are mounted.6464If the pack is empty when you arrive, fast travel to a nearby point and back. The wolves repopulate on a zone reload, and the alpha appears on most refreshed packs once the smaller wolves are no longer suppressing the spawn slot.6666Database Stats6868Category: ANIMAL · Type: WILD7070Combat & Mobility7272StatValueHealth250Stamina200Attack70Defense20Movement Speed1Acceleration1Handling1Jump Power1
