Adopting animals in Fire Emblem Engage

Getting animals is relatively easy and does not require much effort in Fire Emblem Engage. To catch them, players need to wait until they can free roam, which is often received after a main story battle. Free roaming allows the player to do various things, like talking to other characters, looking for items, and adopting animals.

In Fire Emblem Engage, animals appear as orange dots on the mini-map. Players can walk up to them and hit the interact button to adopt them. Once adopted, players can head to their farmyard in Somniel to view them.

Not all animals are available for adoption from the get-go. To unlock more animals, players must improve their relations with other countries in order to adapt their animals.

To do this, they will need to head to the bulletin board in the cafe and donate gold and resources to other countries. Doing so will increase their relationship levels with them and allow them access to their animals, along with other benefits.
