In WolfQuest, there are no cheats beyond exploiting bugs and glitches, or by abusing unintentional game logic overlooked or otherwise not caught by the development team during debug and testing phases. There are however, some instances of malicious hackers who are able to manipulate the game to their benefit. Contributors are welcome to share "cheats" for the game within this article. Outdated or patched entries which are confirmed to no longer work are moved to the cheat archive.

Cheats that occurred as a result of a bug or glitch should include their respective categories. Keep in mind that each entry within the tabber on this article should be written up as a summary, with full details posted in Board:Bugs and Glitches in a thread of their own. Entries in the tabber should be short and to-the-point. Please add a new heading for each cheat in its respective version-specific section to keep things simplified.

If there is no objective or the entry has a negative impact such as putting players at an unfair advantage against others, it will be removed. We ask that players play fair and seek to do the responsible thing by informing the development team of any game-breaking bugs, and to only share such issues for versions no longer undergoing active development.


Current[]

Current known findings.


Hacks[]

Player with cheats

A player using hacks to affect their wolf's stats.

In the Anniversary Edition, there have been instances of players using third party software that allow them to change stats, increase health, and damage output among other things. Hacking the game for any reason, including attaining normally unobtainable coats or modifying base stats beyond their normal values, is not in the spirit of the game.

Such players should be immediately reported for violating rules if they are seen using such wolves or exploits in the multiplayer environment due to the unfair advantage they hold over other players.


Exploits[]

In the Anniversary Edition, though not officially cheats, here are a list of current glitches/exploits that the player could use in order to gain an advantage in gameplay. Note that these glitches/exploits may become patched in future updates of the game.

  • Saving the game prior to engaging with an animal ensures the ability to repeat and try again, ensuring eventual success.
  • Spamming A and D (left and right movement) while being attacked by enemy wolves causes the player to not take damage if pressed it fast enough (70ms at most between each keystroke). Ideally, pressing A and D before being hit ensures a high chance of not being damaged at all, while still being able to damage the enemy wolves. Care must be taken of stamina, as shaking off wolves removes some stamina, and having no stamina will not allow the player to shake off wolves. Hills and steep inclines must also be noted as they may cause the player to “fly” off while being bitten, being unable to shake away a wolf during flight. Using this method allows a player to successfully defend against any number of wolves on any difficulty with enough patience. Since this is a matter of simply pressing buttons, having a macro enabled that presses A-D quickly ensures one's invincibility when facing wolves.
  • One can mark territory extremely quickly by interrupting one's howl before howling again (The wolf does not need to complete the entire duration of their howl to strengthen territory). The exact time is 3.25 seconds for the howl to be registered in order to increase hex strength (or decrease an enemy's hex). Primary howl #2 and secondary howl #6 are the quickest at this. With a macro, this action could be repeated indefinitely, allowing a player to quickly (and without even being at their computer) strengthen or capture territory.
  • Quickly spamming a confident and submissive tail pose in the presence of your mate and/or pups will generally cause them to immediately increase affinity. Favoriting these emotes will bind these actions to keys. Once set to a key, it is possible to macro these actions with a simple toggle, allowing a player to quickly raise affinity with just a macro toggle.
  • It is possible to scare away a bear without taking much damage by biting the bear before damage is dealt to both parties. Upon releasing quickly, the bear’s flight meter will rise as if it had been bitten (Even though no damage was dealt do either the bear or the wolf), and the player can continue to repeat this process. This however still requires the use of stamina for the initial bite. Using this method makes it possible for a single wolf with strong stamina and/or on a low difficulty to single-handedly scare away a bear from a carcass.
  • If a player is near a water source while being on Easy difficulty and has full health, they are able to continually sleep and drink water after they wake up without any loss of food %. This is because sleeping on Easy with full heath will cause a net loss of 5% food. Since sleeping will pass the time, a player may drink water again upon waking, regaining another 5%. These values effectively cancel out. As a result, a group of wolves on Easy with full health near a water source do not need to worry about hunting to provide food, as long as they are continuously drinking from the water source at regular intervals, and after waking up from a nap.
  • While playing with an Ironwolf or elder wolf, it is possible for the player to make a copy of their wolf (.wolfsav) and of their game-save file (.sav) in order to revive a dead wolf. Once the player dies, they can replace their files with the backup in order to "revive" their wolf.
    • In a similar note to the previous exploit, making copies of one's wolf file (.wolfsav) for every age allows players to age-down by replacing the current file with the .wolfsav of their choosing.
  • In multiplayer, it is possible to deal damage to entities without receiving it. The player needs to let go quickly enough after latching onto on animal. Note that it may not always work, especially if the player is a host.

Classic cheats and tips for paid versions containing Amethyst Mountain, Slough Creek and Lost River. "New and Improved".


Pups in Den

Using the East Creek den, follow these steps.

  1. Take hold of a pup with your wolf.
  2. Jump inside the den though the entrance.
  3. Jump out through the side.
  4. Repeat steps 1-3 until all pups are inside the den.

Because of the old collider of the den entrance along with the den being an enviornmental object in and of itself, no NPCs can enter the den. The pups are safe and are unable to leave unless taken out. This is possible on 2.7 and up, making the passage along missions 3-5 easy. The pathfinder of NPC's also makes defending the territory itself easier, for the animals go for the front of the den, making it hard to just turn around and escape. They can be killed easily: they just keep running at the den.


Training and Marking

During Slough creek, missions 2-6, to mark and train quickly, click Howl and Sleep repeatedly.

If done correctly, you will fill the mark and train bars very quickly.


Moose Hunting Glitch

It seems that since the mobile versions are an adaptation of the PC versions, they have some of the same buttons.

  1. First, go up to a moose when it is standing.
  2. Come close enough, slowly, that the red wolf icon appears on the animal.
  3. DO NOT press the bite button! This will force your wolf to come forth and attack the moose head on.
  4. Repeatedly press the red wolf icon, and it's health will decrease.
You can weaken and kill the moose this way regardless of gender. This will not work with rutting moose, since the moose that runs away will keep running and will not stop until a certain point.

Cheats and tips for the old PC-only free version of WolfQuest, also unofficially dubbed "Legacy".


Experience Points Cheat

This exploit only works in single-player Amethyst Mountain.


Maxed Stats Cheat

WolfQuest_-_How_to_Get_Excellent_Stats

WolfQuest - How to Get Excellent Stats

A video detailing the "perfect stats" glitch.

Due to a bug, it is possible to have strength and speed set to their maximum values (+0.5) with stamina set to 0, negating the intended penalties. Contrary to the description of the video, this glitch works for both genders.
  1. Begin with a female wolf and set strength to -0.5.
  2. Switch to a male wolf and click the top of the speed stat's bar. Do not slide/drag the bar to the top!
  3. Switch back to female and raise strength -- as before, click the top of the strength stat's bar, do not slide/drag.
  4. Switch back to male and slide/drag or click the top of the bar to cap the stat. Your wolf will now have excellent stats.

As of version 2.5.1, it is still possible to get strength and speed of +0.5 and stamina of 0 by glitching the sliders, though it seems to have no effect on the wolf's final stats. Starting a new single-player game with the sliders set this way will result in a wolf with default stats (as though all the sliders were set to 0), which can be seen in the Pack Stats menu.


Eagle-free Cheat

When the eagle appears, quit the game, and then come back. It will be gone.

Note: the game/application itself must be closed. Talk page entry


Bypass pup training

During the third mission, howling consecutively will quickly and effortlessly fill the blue 'training' bar. In turn, this allows the player to easily bypass the mission and progress to mission four.
