Taming & Behavior

A Strange Bone turns a vanilla wolf into a combat companion permanently bound to the active Nexus.

How to bind a wolf

1. First activate a Nexus in the same dimension.
2. Craft a Strange Bone from one bone and two Rift Flux.
3. Use it on a wild vanilla wolf or one you own.
4. A wolf tamed by another player cannot be converted.

A wild wolf is automatically tamed to you. Existing wolf properties carry over to the Nexus variant.

Combat behavior

• The wolf does not constantly follow its owner like a regular tamed wolf.
• It cannot be ordered to sit and remains an active defender.
• It attacks nearby Nexus invaders.
• Every successful melee hit heals it for 4 health.
• Wolf armor can still be equipped in the body slot.

Scaling

Tamed Nexus Wolves start with 25 maximum health and 4 attack damage. Both values increase by 1 every two Nexus progression levels. Missing health remains missing when the wolf scales, so gaining a level is not a free full heal.

Respawning at the Nexus

If a bound wolf dies while its Nexus is active, it attempts to return fully healed at a free position near the Nexus. Respawning is not guaranteed if no safe position can be found.
