A Guide to Taming and Summoning Pets in Crimson Desert

April 2, 2026 - 02:35

The vast and untamed world of Crimson Desert offers more than just human companionship on its perilous journeys. Adventurers have the ability to befriend the local wildlife, turning fierce creatures into loyal allies. One of the most sought-after early companions is the humble brown dog found roaming the wilderness.

Taming this canine friend is a straightforward yet rewarding process. When you encounter a brown dog in the open world, simply approach it calmly. The game will present a clear interaction prompt to "Take In" the animal. A brief animation will confirm the successful bonding, and your new pet will be added to your collection. This faithful hound will then follow you on your travels, offering a touch of companionship in the harsh landscapes.

Beyond simply having pets follow you, Crimson Desert features a robust summoning system. Your tamed creatures are not permanently at your side but are readily available through your pet menu. Here, you can select which companion to summon into the world with you. This allows for strategic choices depending on your situation, whether you desire the simple presence of your dog or the potential combat aid of other, more formidable tamed beasts. This system ensures your animal allies are always just a call away, ready to join your next adventure across the continent of Pywel.
