• Mushrooms
• Berries; and
• Carrots.

Here are the steps that a player needs to follow in order to tame a wild boar in Valheim:

• The player will need to attract the boar's attention to get started with the process.
• Once the boar starts chasing the player aggressively, the player will need to trick the boar inside a fenced compound or a cage.
• Once the boar is trapped inside the vicinity, players will need to toss aforementioned food items to the boar.
• After tossing multiple food items, the boar's status will show an "acclimatizing" percentage bar. Once the status reaches 100%, the boar will start showing the "tame" status.

Multiple boars with "happy" status in the vicinity will result in the tamed animals eventually breeding and giving birth to their offspring. This is an extremely efficient way of increasing the number of tamed boars present in the player's camp.
