HOW TO TAME THRALLS & ALL THE WAYS TO DO IT | Conan Exiles |

[@thorwulfx1]

Great guide. The only two things I could add are as follows: 1) Giving your thrall a truncheon is super effective. You can go into a small to midsize camp, and once the fight starts, the thrall (especially a decent fighter) will just go and knock everyone out. You can then just sort through and find whoever you need. 2) The Lovetap is a legendary weapon that does concussion damage. Probably not any better than a standard steel truncheon with the light attack, but it has the mace attack sequence for the heavy attack, that can be good to stunlock an opponent. Also, it has tons of durability. The standard steel truncheon with the advanced blunted weapon fitting, though, is still my go-to, as it's effective and cheap to make/repair.

[@KiahOnFireOfficial]

Sadly the lovetap is on par for concussive damage with the iron truncheon. (Even a bit lower if i remember right) However it has a unique move set compared to the other tools, and as you put very well in your paragraph it's great for that stunlock! :) However I do feel it needs a much needed tlc due to it being legendary but there are much better methods to the madness out there on the market. and yes yes yes 100% agree on the thrall thing, this does wonders letting your thrall have a smash and bash session with the truncheon against the enemy.

[@thorwulfx1]

@@KiahOnFireOfficial It's true that, especially light attack vs. light attack, the Lovetap is a bit lackluster. I think it should be at least on par with Szeth's Truncheon. One thing I've noticed about most legendaries is that they aren't really much better than endgame craftables. Other than the Predatory Blade and a few others, most of them aren't much of an advantage over starmetal or dragonbone stuff.

[@thorwulfx1]

@@KiahOnFireOfficial A tactic where there are a lot of tough enemies (like some of the denser areas of Sepumeru) is to hop up on a building ledge, shoot a few blunted arrows, and let your thrall just have a field day.

[@MadPirateShin]

Legendary weapons stand out from the crafted weapons by giving bonus stats or unique abilities @@thorwulfx1 . Lovetap for example, can be used while mounted unlike truncheons.

[@Akymma]

Worthy of note the Lovetap has much better reach and much nicer move set. And with an advanced bludgeon fit it ends up much better than the others.

[@LaszloIvanyi]

Thralls use whatever you give them, including truncheons. Worth noting that if you use thrall to do the whacking, remove all other weapons from them it may be an old bug, but mine were switching weapons back and forth when they had more than 1 weapon (or throwing orb, including water) in the inventory. Regarding Task masters: Their effect on the wheel of friendship is instantaneous, you can use this to take an L3 taskmaster on a tour, take it from one wheel to the other. When I have a named taskmaster I usually take him with me when I collect the new friends. Just drop him to the wheel, he does his magic and completes any "close to complete" thralls.

[@Nmag27]

I like how you go fast in detail and cover a lot quickly compared to the drawn-out videos people make

[@randallporter1404]

13:22 One of my favorite farming spots for taskmasters is, The Sandpit (lower left-hand corner of J7). It is a simple matter of running up (from the south) to the taskmaster spawn (southern tent) and aggro-ing him/her. If the taskmaster is not named or one that you want, simply run back down the path a short distance. They will despawn and the camp will respawn. Another tip for using task masters is; taskmasters make up for lost time taming. For instance, Let's assume a thrall has been on a wheel (without a taskmaster) for some time and is ~ 25% tamed. Now, placing a taskmaster on that wheel will accelerate the taming process according to the level of the taskmaster. So, the aforementioned thrall may now be 75% complete or even finish instantly. This behavior is as if the taskmaster was on the wheel the entire time. For the above reason, I prefer to train a T2 or T3 taskmaster in one lesser wheel and a T4 taskmaster in another. As soon as the T2/3 thrall is complete I will place them on the wheel with the T4.

[@catrionasloanei6847]

Just a heads up everyone should raid the wine cellar as early as possible I believe you can still get a unique/legendary knockout tool from the first mini boss in the area.

[@doublecrxss]

Just got back into Exiles so all of these videos have been an incredible help!

[@Kamikaze.Hamster]

Great guide. Apologies if you mentioned this, but just in case (I don't recall) it's important that whatever food you use in the wheel (and I agree wholeheartedly that gruel is best for a number of reasons) make sure you use just one type of food. If you put 1 stack of gruel and 1 stack of grilled steak in there, it will not automatically jump to the other after the first stack is used up. They have to be the same food type for it to keep working without intervening. Thank you Kiah! I LOVE your videos, have watched so many. Even though you mangle sooooooo many names lol :D Hey, that's part of the charm, right?

[@KiahOnFireOfficial]

I didn't mention that so thanks for putting this out there since some may mix foods up! Glad you're enjoying the videos :) ! and Indeed part of the charm

[@KonFess]

I've been saying this since Early Access. Gruel is the worst food in game, no players should ever craft gruel. First it's a waste of plant fiber for twine, and other craftables. It's burn time is the lowest, I just crafted 3 T4 (27 hours w/ no Taskmaster) using grilled steak and exotic shellfish. I estimate it too 20x50 & 15x50 to craft, but probably more due to decay. Again I estimate, gruel would take 50x50 (adding 10x50 5 times a day). If you have to or just want to use gruel, then I recommend only for a T1 or T2. Anything higher takes too long to use gruel for. FireSpark81 did a recent test on active thrall stats. Vitality is the only stat that has any effect at the moment. So feeding a thrall grilled steak to level vitality is recommended. At this moment damage and defense are only effected by equipment.

[@pepijnwarmerdam8784]

@@KonFess Gruel is the best food for breaking thralls, the ingredients are easily farmed, it stacks to 100, doesn't spoil very quick and for taming the kind of food doesn't matter. A short run with a sickle will get you enough seeds and fiber to break many thralls, easier than farming meat. It's only when the thrall is tamed that the kind of food is important for levelling (gruel increases the chance for a thrall levveling its power, so also quite good)

[@rafar9563]

Blunted Javelin combined with shield is easy to stun lock enemy (holding defence button and hit enemy once) makes super quick stab and you are still covered under shield :3

[@KiahOnFireOfficial]

Good technique :)

[@philcollette281]

@KiahOnFire There is another chest that may drop the the truncheon. You went to the one right below the deck of the pirate ship, but if you come in from the south (little waterway beneath the ship) and look up, about 15 feed up is another chest. It has the same loot table as the one higher and the lever door where you kill Neebs :D

[@KiahOnFireOfficial]

Oh right, thanks for putting that out there :)

[@DidNotMeetCriteria]

Great guide, really well made but I had to laugh every time you said trungen😂😂

[@Berserkaren]

I usually only try and grab T4 thralls. Like Lian, Freya and that taskmaster around the mounds of the dead since they are 100% chance to be at their spot. I wait till I am able to get Lv 2 wheel of friendship before I get thralls. That way I can gather all the resources before reaching Lv 30. It's gruel'ing job to get all the good thralls but it will be worth it in the end. Oh also Kiah, If you use the blunted javelin and a shield, you can hold the shield up as you attack, you do very fast blunted attacks as well as stun locking the thrall. Only way I could get Lian with no armor on me. Thanks for the tip on blunted fittings on the bows with blunted arrows. Szeths truncheon, what do you need to repair that? Thanks again Kiah. Top notch info as usual.

[@KiahOnFireOfficial]

If I remember right you might be able to repair it with a legendary repair kit- Double check the quality on it if not legendary than master repair

[@Ro-Ghost]

Against spear and pike I recommend blunt javelin but only using light attack, you can get them in a hit stun loop

[@MustardanBiscuits]

Thanks for all your Conan guides! They have really helped me greatly.

[@pepijnwarmerdam8784]

An easy tier four taskmaster to get at lower levels can be found in the Sinners Refuge cave, he's called Sir Bowen of Asura and shares his spawn with the other named Asura characters and a Mitra priest. It is a decent enough spawn rate to be worth the trouble, the other Asura NPC's are good to tame aswell, they can be a carpenter, an alchemist, a smelter and a Mitra Priest or be farmed for the Asura armour set. Other named thralls also spawn in the cave.

[@MedievalFantasyTV]

Thank for that. I always have trouble at that place, though, since everyone there swarms at you. Kinda hard to not kill the thrall you want to get.

[@pepijnwarmerdam8784]

@@MedievalFantasyTV i tend to draw out the other NPC's in the room first untill there's only the three in the back left. If they swarm you run towards the exit of the cave, that way you can often split the group a little. Running back and forth a few times can help. Giving a thrall a truncheon helps aswell, they'll knock everything out and you can take the thrall you want. Also it can be done with the Set arrows, poison the thralls you don't want untill the one you do want is the only one left, same thing as i mentioned before run towards the exit if you get mobbed.

[@MedievalFantasyTV]

@@pepijnwarmerdam8784 I will try that today. Ty!

[@pepijnwarmerdam8784]

@@MedievalFantasyTV good luck!

[@danpearman270]

Nice warpaint :) Additional for builders - if you want to enclose a standard Wheel of Pain, but don't want a square building - it will fit on the standard 'three layer' 'circle' - so 6 inner wedge foundations forming basic hexagon, plus first layer around that alternating wedge and square, plus second layer around that (1 square alternating with 3 wedges). (I've probably made that sound more complicated than I mean to - it's one of the most basic floorplan shapes in the game ;) ). And you can still get a roof over it at that size. Greater Wheel of Pain may be more difficult since you're going to need to go another ring wider, which means you won't have the stability for a full roof unless using mods (because of the way stability works with wedges) (but you can roof over a Greater Wheel in a square building pretty easily as shown in the vid).

Catching them isn't the problem, yes blunt jav is the best but taming named thrall takes forever even with a T3 taskmaster, so playing single player is a pain because of this.

[@williamstephen3844]

If you're on single player you could turn your rates down the lowest takes literally less than a second and the one above that, 0.5 is half the standard which is what I use it doesn't take too long with a good taskmaster however t4 thralls can still take a couple of hours

[@KiahOnFireOfficial]

Blunted javelin is great for that stun lock

[@randallporter1404]

I threw too many (accidentally) and didn't have a spare. So no thrall. Now I just go for the reinforced truncheon (Neebs/under the Black Galleon) or Szeth's (with advanced blunt upgrade).

[@paollopiettrobrunoro9979]

Just checking, the food doesn't matter, they just change their durations in bettwen quantities, or they can help the thralls come with better or differents features? Will they (the thralls) take the same duration to get ready, a tier 1 for exemple, or the food helps to get them faster too?

enhanced gruel isnt really any different from normal gruel so id stick with normal gruel if i were you. Glad this video helped :) . As for blunted javelin and steel truncheon if you're usually it personally then blunted javelin is great for stagger, but the steel truncheon is better for concussion damage meaning it will knock out the thrall quicker. I use javelin until i unlock the steel truncheon usually. as for using truncheons on thralls always use truncheon and not javelin
