Smalland: Survive the Wilds is a game about small human beings in a dangerous way of insects. Players can survive in different weather conditions, fight against insects, build their own house and create things. There are a decent amount of items in the Smalland game, from clothes to decor elements in the house. As you progress, you will have to achieve technological perfection gradually. Smalland was created by the developers at Merge Games, who managed to provide players with a very impressive product.
There are many insects in Smalland that can be tamed and become your faithful companions. Tamed insects are intended to assist the player in passing the game. Each type of tamed insect has its own special qualities that significantly change the tactics of passing the game. Thanks to insects, you can speed up the development of base construction, quickly reach or climb to a certain place and more effectively fight enemies.
In this article, we will tell you how to tame the following types of insects: ladybug, grasshopper, gecko and spider. All of these creatures will be good companions during the passage of the game. It is important to monitor their health and feed them on time. We also do not recommend jumping into the water, as tamed insects cannot swim.
Taming “Ladybug”, in the game Smalland.
Almost at the very beginning of the game, you already want to tame one of the insects, but it doesn’t work out. The fact is that each insect needs its own recipe for taming. Passing near ladybug insects, you don’t even suspect that it can be tamed. The ladybug performs very important functions for the hero, as it can carry the collected resources.
Thanks to the ladybug function, the development and construction of the base is accelerated several times. After taming it, you no longer have to return to the base very often to take the collected resources. Since the capacity of ladybug pockets is 20 places for resources. Among the shortcomings, a small number of lives and a lack of combat ability can be distinguished.
How to tame a ladybug?
To tame a ladybug, you first need to build your small base and build a “Workbench” in it. In the Workbench itself, there should be special things for the ladybug, the Travel Kit for the ladybug and the Whistle. All these things should be in the pockets of the hero, at the time of taming. To tame a ladybug, it is enough to attack her and reduce her health to half. After that, the possibility of taming should appear and clothes with pockets will appear on the ladybug.
To make the Ladybug Travel Kit, you will need 3 Edible Mushrooms, 2 Nectar and 5 Fiber. Nectar can be obtained from the “Poppy” plant, which grows to the left of the elder. You need to go up next to the river. Cutting down the “Poppy” may require a “Rough Axe”. A Rough Ax may require Resin, Wood and Chitin to craft, Chitin can be obtained from the Black Pine Barbel Beetle.
Taming “Grasshopper”, in the game Smalland.
The grasshopper is a mountable insect that is designed to cross a large area, such as a river. Since the grasshopper can jump high and far, however, its jump is limited by the stamina bar. When the scale is full, the grasshopper can jump to the maximum distance. On a grasshopper, you can also jump from a tree, and the character will not break. The only thing not to do while riding a grasshopper is to jump into the water, they can both die.
In addition to the riding properties of a grasshopper, he can still fight. Able to attack hostile insects that attacked the hero or the hero himself entered into battle with them. The combat abilities of a grasshopper are not very effective, where a more possible opponent is an ant – a bull. With bugs and other insects, the grasshopper does not fight effectively, since it has little health. Therefore, its main application is driving functions.
To be able to tame a grasshopper, you must first build a Cauldron. The “cauldron” becomes available for construction after the construction of the “stone-cutting machine. For the construction of the “Cauldron” will require 10 units of stone and 7 units of processed wood. When producing processed wood in a stone cutting machine, you will need seeds, seed oil and wood.
How to tame the “Grasshopper”?
In order to tame a Grasshopper, you first need to produce a special recipe called Grasshopper Treat. You can produce or craft a Grasshopper Treat using the Cauldron Workbench. For cooking, you will need 3 pieces of insect eggs, 1 piece of petal and 2 pieces of seed oil. The simplest is an insect egg, they can be found when leaving the initial location, near the owl statue and from butterflies. Petal and seeds are obtained from the plant “Poppy”. But seed oil is obtained by processing in the machine “Stone-cutting machine”, from seeds. To tame, it is enough to have a Grasshopper Treat in your pockets and damage the grasshopper’s health to half.
Taming “Gekko”, in the game Smalland.
The gecko is a mount that is designed to overcome steep obstacles such as mountains. Thanks to Velcro on the paws of the gecko, it can climb mountains with a slope of 90 degrees. This moment noticeably facilitates overcoming obstacles, where without a gecko you will have to bypass. In addition to being a rider, he can fight well in close combat, with opponents such as ants and some types of beetles.
To get the opportunity to ride the gecko, you first have to work a little and defeat the first boss. You need to go to the character of Skadi and find out about the ongoing events. He will tell you that there is a rhinoceros beetle that attacks the tribe and will give you the task of defeating it. After defeating the first boss, Skadi will give you the recipe “Gecko Treat” as a reward.
How to tame a Gecko?
First you need to cook a “Gecko Treat” in the “Boiler” machine. For cooking, you will need the ingredients bee head 2 pieces, petal 1 piece, seed oil 2 pieces and 2 pieces of ant heads. All the ingredients are located in the area of the Skadi character and are not difficult to obtain. The only thing you have to work on is the seed oil, for which you need to collect the seeds, and then cook in a stone-cutting machine.
After the delicacy is prepared, you can go in search of the gecko itself. The most inhabited places of geckos are on sandy shores near the sea. Having met with a gecko, you need to inflict damage to his health up to half, and then the possibility of taming will appear. Having tamed a gecko, he will become a faithful companion and help to overcome high obstacles.
Taming “Wolf Spider”, in the game Smalland.
The spider is a rideable insect that can climb steep slopes, but is slightly worse than the gecko. Among the shortcomings, one can still single out the lack of jumps, only movement on land. The Wolf Spider is the only mountable companion that can be used to fight enemies. Only the battle itself takes place on top of the “Wolf Spider” and only with special attacks of the spider itself.
To be able to tame the “Wolf Spider”, you first have to complete the task with the character Lysander. The character Lysander appears after completing the character Skadi’s quest. On the instructions of Lysandra, we must defeat the boss of the huge Albino Spider. Before an attack, you need to prepare well, make a good set of armor and good weapons. In addition to armor and weapons, it is advisable to stock up on Antidotes, poison protection and bandages for several slots.
How to tame the “Wolf Spider”?
After defeating the Albino Spider, we need to collect the trophy and bring it to the Lysandra character. As a reward for the boss, Lysandra will reward us with an exquisite spider recipe, with which you can tame the “Wolf Spider”. Spider Treat Ingredients: 2 Seed Oil, 1 Petal, 2 Spider Eye, 1 Grasshopper Leg, and 3 Insect Wings.
To get the grasshopper’s legs, you will have to return almost to the starting location. The spider eyes will be easier, as they are in the same location as the Lysander character. Insect wings can be obtained from flying insects such as bees, wasps, and others. The petal and seeds are obtained from the “Poppy” plant. Having collected all the ingredients, we return to the base, where we prepare the “Delicacy for the Spider” in the “Cauldron”. We just have to find the right spider, damage the health to half and tame.
Conclusion on the initial tamed satellites, in the game Smalland.
In this article, we have not indicated another interesting companion, a dragonfly, which can be tamed towards the end of the game. To tame a dragonfly, you will have to go through many tasks and build new machines where you can produce the necessary resources. Perhaps we will tell in future articles about the taming of a dragonfly.
Of the listed riding insects, the gecko and spider can be noted as the most combative. Since they will help well in the battle with the bosses. Even if the tamed comrades die, by this time the bosses should have almost half the health points left. This is quite tangible support on the battlefield. Our main companion is the ladybug, as it can carry resources, which makes traveling much easier. Therefore, it is desirable to choose partners for certain tasks.
