So on the Island map playing Ascended Ark I headed out toward Herbie Island on a raft filled with some taming supplies to tame a pteranodon and hopefully a decent level ankhy. I first saw it initially when I arrived and thought, "well damn, I've never seen an equus spawn on Herbie Island," then I spy glassed it and found it out to be a 140 male Unicorn!!! Marking this as my second time seeing one of these beauties since Survival Evolved. The first I still remember being a level 25 and even debated taming it.(I didn't since a baryonyx killed it shortly after.) Forgot about taming a pteranodon for a hot second gathered my carrots from the raft and engaged. First time was unsuccessful, so I knocked it out and waited for it wake up. Next time I had success since it didn't randomly buck me off even though I gave it it's first feed for some odd reason, tamed and named it "Kalibas" after the guy that killed all the unicorns on Clash of the titans. I only mention all of this because out of all the hours I've put in the game I've never seen one spawn at Herbie Island, what's more anything else I would class as exotic or useful. So for all ark players DO NOT forget to check Herbie Island if you're in the market for a unicorn. By far the best place to find and tame one.
More Unicorn Taming & KO Tips
If it won’t allow you to feed it, knock it out and let it wake up then try again. Most likely due to the fact someone else tried to tame it before. Also, it tells you when to feed it at the bottom corner of your screen.
Unicorn: * poops rainbow poop *
Dung beetle: ILL TAKE YOUR ENTIRE STOCK
FOR MOBILE USERS:sadly YOU CAN ONLY PASSIVE TAME IT WITH GRIFFIN KIBBLE.
It Wont eat any crops or berries and you cant tame it like eqqus.
Devs Must Fix This.
Check western beach by snow biome, carnivore island, herbivore island, and the base of the volcano on The Island. I found a unicorn by the snow biome once, def would check again
Ark Mobile- Tameable by Griffin Kibble. So bummed to learn this after catching and trying to feed crops.
Ultimate Mobile Edition:
Info-On Ultimate Mobile Edition the Unicorn poops like any other dino, no rainbow poo, no special effects. Also you can tame it with crops like the Equus. Highly recommend using Simple Kibble instead of crops, also on single player if your percentage for taming goes down (effectiveness and taming bar) knocking it out will reset it. Just make sure to let its health go back up completely before trying again or else its health might go down and both the taming and effectiveness will go down.
Taming-Full Ghillie and Simple Kibble are highly recommend rather than crops.
Trap- acquire a tamed Argy and pick it up, drop it in a two by two or a one by two foundation with doorframes all around recommend one high. And add ramp on one of the doorframes to get above it and feed it without it noticing you. Knock it out to reset its taming effectiveness.
Trap 2- bola it, knock it out, use the first dino gateway available, with the doors, three of them in a triangle with a gap. Don’t forget to make sure that the gap isn’t too big or else it will be able to get out.
Extra-will typically spawn in the same areas as Ovis (yes it exists on the ultimate mobile edition- aggressive dinos will target it over you so if you see one grab it immediately, its health is low and runs like any passive runner) and Equus. On the Dododex look at maps the map your on, ARK: Survival Evolved, click on creatures, type in Equus, Ovis or Unicorn. If it dies leave the area and look in another spawning area, if there’s an Ovis or group of Equus in the area it won’t spawn in within the area. So kill them or tame them and lead them out of the area (far enough that it renders out other dinos and make sure that at least five minutes pass before trying that specific area again). If you tame one it will respawn in another spawning area so if you want a breeding pair it’s possible.
I was flying around on my arge , not a care in the world. Then this happened:
Me: Oh Look! A White Equus , I Want It!
Me : -Turns To A Different Angle-
Me: OH MEH GAWD IT HAS A HORN
Ark Mobile Gods: We Bout To Make Ruin This For Her.
Me: -Picks Up And Puts In Pen Back At Base-
Me : -Gets Carrots And Tries To Tame-
Ark Mobile Gods: 🤣😈
Me : Why Isn't It Taming...
Me : - Checks Dodo.dex -
Me : 😭😭😭😭🙀🙀💔💔💔
Me : I Guess I'll Just Keep It In The Pen Till I Have Griff Kibble... 💔
Mobile players are cursed enough and i come to figure out you cant even tame this thing with crops 🥲
Please, ark creators! Let the mobiles use crops on unicorns! I’ve found for and haven’t been able to any of them!!!
People, the griffin kibble and hallucinogenic poop is only on mobile. Disregard this, PC and Console people. I wish.
