Raw Prime Meat — Detailed Guide

Raw Prime Meat is the best cut a carcass can give. Wild carnivores tame faster on it than on regular meat, and it is the ingredient behind Cooked Prime Meat and Battle Tartare. It spoils in minutes, though.

How to get it

What it is used for

  • Taming: the strongest raw taming food for carnivores after their kibble.
  • Cooking: Cooked Prime Meat (1:1) and Battle Tartare (3).
  • Traps: the Companion Bait Trap (4).

Tips

Bring the carnivore to the meat, or carry the meat on a creature with meat weight reduction, and feed it fast. A spoiled stack turns into Spoiled Meat.
