If you're eager to showcase your tracking skills and secure one of these Unicorns, you're in luck because we have the precise information on how to acquire one. Continue reading to learn the exact steps to locate and tame the Unicorn, as well as the unique abilities it brings to your ARK Survival Ascended experience.

How To Find and Tame the Unicorn in ARK Survival Ascended

The rare Unicorn is a variant of the Equus dinosaur, and despite being a relative of the Equus, it remains exceptionally rare. Only one wild Unicorn spawns on the entire Island, making its discovery challenging. Fortunately, we've narrowed down potential sighting areas as indicated below.

The Unicorn can appear in any of the designated areas, and the diverse locations make its discovery quite demanding. Although you can use console commands to summon one, capturing a wild Unicorn requires a taming approach similar to that of the non-violent Equus method.

To initiate the taming process, don a full Ghillie suit and approach the creature silently while crouched, then feed it either Rockarrot or Kibble. Following this, engage in a mini-game with the creature after mounting it, indicated by an icon over its head.

While mounted, respond to the creature's bucking by pressing the interact button when the icon glows to avoid being forcibly dismounted. Avoid excessive button presses, as multiple clicks can result in dismounting, and the Unicorn may kick you, potentially causing unconsciousness.

Maintain this strategy, and after successfully staying mounted for the required duration, you will have effectively tamed the Unicorn. It's advisable to use a flying tame to locate the Unicorn, pick it up, and place it in a pen to prevent it from running away, providing ample opportunities for a successful tame.

Once tamed, the Unicorn becomes a loyal steed, offering bragging rights for the accomplishment. Additionally, it provides valuable carry weight buffs/reductions, similar to its Equus counterpart, including:

• Keratin: 50%
