Thralls are NPCs in Conan Exiles. They can be used as servants, either working on crafting stations or as lookouts guarding buildings.
How to capture thralls
Thralls are captured by knocking them out with a Truncheon, dragging them back to base with Fiber Bindings, you can't sprint or use a two handed weapon while dragging a thrall, and then breaking their will on one of the various Wheels of Pain. Players also need some gruel, to keep the thrall alive while they're going around and around. Using higher tier Taskmasters will help break the will of thralls quicker. Thralls can help guard bases, help in crafting, entertain players, and unlock powerful advantages such as flawless weapons or even help in summoning avatars.
Deploying Fighters and Archers
Fighters and Archers can be placed anywhere that isn't within the claim radius of a different clan. This means you can place a combat thrall within your base, or even out in the world. To deploy a combat thrall, load it into your hotbar and place it like you would place a building.
Thralls can be useful for defending an area against weak, dumb, or disoriented opponents. They are particularly useful in defending a region against NPCs or against other players during a raid. On PvP servers, it is usually a bad idea to leave a combat thrall out in the open, or anywhere a passing enemy might snipe the thrall with their bow. You may however like to place thralls within your walls, where they can contribute to raid defense.
Thrall specializations
Thralls have a variety of specializations. Most can be visually identified from a distance by what they are holding, e.g. bow/crossbow is an archer, sword and shield is a fighter. Thralls placed on a crafting station reduce the materials needed to craft items.
| Specialization | Use | Appearance |
|---|---|---|
| Alchemist | Place at Cauldron. has orb receipes | Wields a stone mace |
| Archer | Guards areas | Wields a bow or crossbow |
| Armorer | Place at an Armorer's Bench | Wields a Repair Hammer. |
| Blacksmith | Place at a Blacksmith's Bench | Wields a Repair Hammer. |
| Carpenter | Place at a Carpenter's Bench | Wields a Repair Hammer. |
| Cook | Place at a Campfire or Bonfire or Cauldron | Wields a Repair Hammer. |
| Entertainer (Dancer or Musician) | Removes corruption and provides a health regen buff | Is seen dancing |
| Fighter | Guards areas | Wields a weapon or sometimes is unarmed |
| Priest - Mitra | Place at a Shrine of Mitra | Dressed in blue and found at a Mitran altar |
| Priest - Set | Place at a Sepulcher of Set | Wears an Egyptian mask |
| Priest - Yog | Place at a Pit of Yog | Wields a Jawbone sword |
| Smelter | Place at a Furnace | Wears mitts |
| Tanner | Place at a Tannery | Wields a large cleaver. |
| Taskmaster (Slaver) | Place at a Wheel of Pain | Wields a Truncheon and Fiber Bindings |
Thrall levels
Every specialization has 4 different levels, identified with an I, II, or III at the end of their name, with tier 4 thralls being uniquely named. The exceptions are taskmasters (apprentice, journeyman, and master), and priests (priest, high priest and archpriest).
Depending on their levels, artisan thralls will allow for faster crafting and lowered resource costs when placed at a workstation.
- Level I will speed up crafting by approx 10%.
- Level II also reduces crafting cost by 25% (cost rounded down to lowest whole number).
- Level III is slightly faster than a level II. Some will give additional recipes for their race when placed at a crafting station.
- Named Thralls reduce crafting costs by 50% and increase crafting speed by approximately 50%. Will give additional recipes when placed at a crafting station.
For example:
- A Carpenter II placed at a carpenter's bench allows you to craft Shaped Wood for 7 Wood instead of 10.
- A Blacksmith II placed at a blacksmith's bench allows you to craft Iron reinforcement for 1 iron Bar
Fighter/Archer thralls seem to gain more health and armour from their tiers, whereas their damage seems to be based on what weapon they use.
Named thralls (level 4)
Level 4 thralls are named and thralls placed on crafting stations may sometimes provide additional recipes.

Additional information
- Thralls are another important tool for survival. Capture a blacksmith thrall and they will give access to items only crafted by that specific thrall via the Crafting Machines. For example, a Stygian thrall allows players to create Stygian weapons even though their character might be from a different race.
- One of the advantages of capturing thralls, is that they can be used to defend a base when the player is not around.
- Thralls may also be used to defend an outpost against hostile NPCs (ie. posting an archer tower in the North to help clear an area of wolves).
- The exiles along the starting river are currently basic low level thralls.
- After a trained archer or fighter is placed, they don't appear to equip weaponry until engaging in combat.
