Monsters play a big role in Rune Factory Guardians of Azuma combat, exploration, and riding. Finding new monsters and taming them starts when you get access to the barn in the game.
However, you won’t get access to the barn until you unlock it. Thankfully, unlocking the barn is part of the game’s natural progression but building it is then your duty.
How to Unlock the Barn
To unlock the barn keep playing Rune Factory: Guardians Of Azuma until you reach the Autumn village. Wait until you get access to the Autumn Village God.
Once that happens, Yachiyo and Kurama will give ask you to tame and befriend a Buffamoo, one of the monsters in the game. This point in the game will automatically unlock the barn for free inside the Autumn Village. The barn can then be crafted with 35 Lumber and 15 Material Stone. You can then unlock a Large Barn after reaching level 5 in Autumn Village.
The Autumn Village has four slots, but you can upgrade to add more slots later. You can also build more barns in other villages. Smaller Animals take one while larger animals take two slots each so make sure to build additional barns and even add more slots to the mix.
How to Tame Monsters in Rune Factory Guardians of Azuma
Equip the Sacred Treasure Plum Branch by holding E and select it from the Wheel. Approach the monster you want to befriend and perform the Dance of Bonds until you see a smiley face on the monster’s head.
When you see the smiley face on its head it is time to tame it / defeat it. Use regular attacks until the Monster’s HP reaches 0. The next move is to approach the Monster and pressing F to interact with it.
The game will give you the options to “Befriend with a Gift” or “Send back to the First of Beginnings.” You must know which gift works on the Monster you want to befriend.
Furthermore, some monsters will require more than one gift to fully tame it.
