How to get a Pet in Crimson Desert: Fang Without a Master

There are a lot of animals walking about in Crimson Desert, but knowing how to get a pet in the game is another matter. We knew you could get one, and thankfully, you can just take a short journey into the main story during Chapter 4.

Once your camp is all settled and you start to recruit comrades to your cause, you'll get a quest to go and get food with one of your campmates. On this quest, you'll learn about how bad she felt about a stray dog; this will eventually lead to us being able to have the lost pup as a pet.

Thankfully, it's a pretty simple quest.

Fang Without a Master in Crimson Desert

Once you complete the 'A Chunk of Meat' quest with Naira and meet up with her, she'll show you the dog she felt sorry for. She will eventually leave and tell you that you should take care of the dog, after you muse that you can teach it how to track enemies. Once Naira has left, you can begin working on charming the dog. While this process is easy, it does take some time, two days at least.

How to Get a Pet by Building Trust

Trust is the key stat we need to build up for the dog to want to follow us. Hitting 100 will achieve this but we can't do it all at once. Here is how it works:

• Petting the dog will reward +5 Trust; however, it has a cap of 25 per day, meaning just petting will take four days
• Feeding the dog will reward +10 Trust; however, this is capped at 35 per day, meaning it will take three days
• The key is to combine the two. Feed the dog the +35 Trust in meat, then pet them three more times
• Now, go away and sleep, or just come back in 12 hours/the next day
• Repeat the steps above again, and you will hit 100 Trust

Once you hit 100 Trust with the Brown Dog, you can interact with it to "register" it as your pet. Doing this will allow you to summon it from your inventory like you do your horse.

How to Pick up Loot Faster in Crimson Desert

Crucially, the dog will loot enemies and pick up loot for you, making it an amazing addition to the team. The looting in Crimson Desert is certainly lacking, to the point we personally stopped looting dead enemies because it was rarely worth the effort.

Thankfully, our little Brown Dog can do that for us, making them a great companion to have around.
