Yes, llamas can indeed carry chests, allowing them to function as mobile storage containers. This is a useful feature for players needing extra inventory space while exploring.
Adding a chest to a tamed llama is a straightforward process. Once equipped, the chest significantly increases the llama's carrying capacity.
How to Add a Chest to a Llama
Putting a chest on a llama is fairly simple. All you'll need to do is approach the llama after taming it and right-click it, or press the left trigger depending on your platform. This action will automatically place a chest onto the llama's back.
Here are the basic steps:
- Tame the Llama: First, you need to tame a wild llama by repeatedly trying to ride it until it no longer bucks you off. Hearts appearing above its head indicate successful taming.
- Approach with Chest: With a chest in your inventory, approach your tamed llama.
- Interact: Right-click (PC) or press the left trigger (console) on the llama.
The chest will immediately appear visually on the llama.
Accessing the Llama's Inventory
Once a chest is placed on a llama, you can access its inventory. The primary way to do this is by mounting the llama.
When you ride the llama, your own inventory and the llama's inventory (now expanded by the chest) will typically be shown on screen, allowing you to transfer items back and forth.
What Happens to the Chest
It's important to note how chests behave on llamas. According to information, the chest itself, as an item you can pick up and place elsewhere, won't be available until after the Llama dies. This means you cannot simply remove the chest from a living llama once it has been placed; it is essentially attached until the llama is defeated.
