Beefalo Roaming

[Ghoulie]

This is my first post here and, to be fair I don't think this is a huge deal. Beefalo are animals and like to roam around no big deal, and fuelweaver's arena isn't really meant to be safe. However, all of my attempts to keep my rider safe while fighting it have failed as this thing loves to make tons of distance between itself and the bell.

 

I haven't brought a salt lick as I didn't anticipate the sheer number of dangling depth dweller nests positioned just outside fuelweaver's arena. On thinking, it is odd that we don't have a more convenient means of making our beefalo stand still. I'm playing Willow and I believe controlled burn is preventing me from burning the nests, or a lack of logs as I didn't think I'd need those either. 

 

I'm still working on a workaround for this but it's just been a bunch of unfortunate rollbacks.

You can put the bell inside while leaving the beefalo outside of the arena. The beefalo will try to run to the bell and face hugging the spike things at the entrance.

It would still be safe if you keep it still (even inside the arena) and mind the area, a little more risky compared to leaving it further away in a clear area.

If that's the case, then I usually clear the spiders first.

pretty sure the nests are fireproof in dst, they only were burnable in ds i think

you could try killing the spiders and then placing a bunch of traps (literal grass traps, since they catch them) on the web

This is 100% foolproof. It will not leave once hitched (unless damaged by something, or the shard goes inactive)
