How to Tame the Ladybug in Smalland: Survive the Wilds

iIn Smalland: Survive the Wilds survival game walking from one tree trunk to another takes time and courage to fend off any dangerous lawn creatures that come your way. This is not surprising, considering we are playing as a minuscule humanoid character the size of an ant like in Grounded. Obviously, having a pack mule to store important things along the way would make things easier. Well, wonder no more, this Smalland: Survive the Wilds guide will help you how to tame a Ladybug, the bug that can act as a walking chest.

Smalland: Survive the Wilds – How to Tame a Ladybug

In order to tame a Ladybug in Smalland, you will need a Ladybug Travel Kit, which can be crafted with the Workbench. The Ladybug Travel Kit will automatically be unlocked once you have created the Workbench. Meanwhile, the insect saddle can be crafted using:

• Nectar x2
• Edible Mushrooms x3
• Fiber x5

Afterward, you will have to weaken a Ladybug until below 50% health. If you are carrying a Ladybug Travel Kit, then a prompt to tame it will show up when you hover your mouse over the target. Simply press the appropriate key, the F key, and now you are ready to mount a Ladybug! What’s more, giving a Travel Kit to a Ladybug will also let you store items on them. How great is that?

Don’t be afraid of losing a mount when you log out of the game. A tamed bug or Gecko will spawn with you in the base when you log in back into the game. This taming method works for other creatures as well — of course, you will need appropriate Treats for each of them. Once tamed, you can order them using three commands: Mount to ride it, Stay to make it stay put, and Release it back into the wild. Each creature will have different abilities, so you will need to use them properly depending on what task you need to accomplish at the moment:

• Ladybug: Store items.
• Grasshopper: Jump long distances.
• Wolf Spider: Attack while mounted.
• Damselfly: Fly but eats stamina.
• Gecko: Climb surfaces.

At the time of writing though, players can only have one tamed creature. Thankfully, Smalland‘s future road map update mentioned that the game will eventually let us craft a Stable and will definitely let us store more than one mount down the road.
