This is the Gecko in Smalland

Geckos are small yellow lizards that have a white belly and are patterned with black spots. You'll find them exclusively on the beaches of Smalland, where they roam in search of prey. If you get too close or stand too far in their field of vision, they will attack you without mercy.

Weakness: Geckos are sensitive to blade damage, which means you will do the most damage to them with a sword.

How to Tame the Gecko in Smalland

What you should know: To tame most animals and insects in Smalland, you need a corresponding treat with which you can feed them. Each animal has its own taste, and the recipes differ from each other.

How to Prepare the Gecko Treat

You will receive the recipe for the gecko treat from Skadi once you bring him the horn of the rhinoceros beetle that you find on the beach. To prepare a gecko treat, you will need these ingredients:

• 2 x Ant Head
  • You will get it from time to time when you defeat an ant.
• 2 x Bee Head
  • Obtained from time to time when you defeat bee.
• 1 x Petal
  • Obtained by harvesting flowers, such as poppies.
• 2 x Seed Oil
  • It is made at the stone cutter from seeds, which you also get when harvesting flowers.

Once you gathered all the ingredients, interact with the cauldron and select Gecko Treat on the left side. Clicking on this will prepare it.

Where to Find the Gecko in Smalland

We have highlighted the beach area, where you can find geckos:

How to Tame a Gecko

Once you have the gecko treats in your inventory, you can start looking for a gecko on the beach. You will also find them in the cave, which you can also find on the beach. Then proceed as follows:

1. Approach the gecko and damage it with a weapon.
2. After a while, you'll see that you can tame it by feeding it with the treat.
3. Then press the corresponding button displayed in the command and feed the gecko with the treat.
4. In our case, the gecko was tamed after only one feeding.

You can heal the damage you did to the gecko by dropping food in front of it. However, the gecko treat does not work for this. After that, you can sit on your gecko and ride off. The special feature of the gecko is that it can swim while you ride it. So he is your boat substitute.

Good to know: If the gecko follows you while you ride up into your tree base, it will also come with you and stand around in your base.
