What are tips for unicorn? Tips and strategies for unicorn in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
So guys I THINK (Not Sure) that the reason us Mobile players have to use Griffin kibble and Computer players can use Carrots is that Computer Uni are Crap. Computer Uni have no beautiful colours, no rainbow jumps, look like Equus a bit, and most importantly, they don't have Rainbow drug poops. But Mobile Uni have all that and a bag of chips. They are very OP so I guess that's why. The devs also probably don't want noobs taming the Uni. Btw I'm not being sarcastic.
In Ark Mobile, the tame requires griffin kibble. This makes it an end-game creature. Why? Because Griffins need traps, and you need their respect to tame them. But why can't you just look around for their eggs in the wild? It's because Griffins do NOT lay eggs in the wild, and must be bred, or probably tamed to lay eggs. Griffin Kibble also requires some ingredients that need to be bought from the shop. I suggest a soothing balm, because it will make the taming faster. They use the exact same saddle as Equus, so if you are new to Ark, do not be fooled. Unicorns are more endgame than you think. Do not try putting it in the pen at levels that do not suit the requirements for taming a griffin. The Unicorn will simply starve after Ark weeks of being in the pen. I do indeed know this because I trapped one for a long time, and it disappeared. This is because of starvation. This also happened with a Ovira I did not plan to tame. Mysteriously, it's health was dropping, so I tranqed it. I saw it had no food. That was why it was dieing. It died after that, due to no food. So, if you are not a good level like level 80-70 you should probably not trap it. Once tamed, when you jump, it will make a mini-rainbow. If this was helpful, you know what to do. I recommend a pen to tame it too. Here are the things you should need to tame it: A taming pen(recommended), soothing balm(Also recommended), and of course, Griffin Kibble. Have fun with your unicorn. And do note, unlike Equus, these cannot be tamed with any other herbivore taming foods like vegetables/berries. So they can ONLY be tamed with griffin kibble on Mobile.
Just found one at the base of winters mouth on the SW side. Couldn’t believe my eyes! Went and got rockaroot as that was all I had, snuck up behind it with the rockaroot in the last item slot to feed it, aaaaand my guy ended up punching it…. It ran away and I couldn’t find the magical beast after an hour.
Passive tame,only want griffin kibble (mobile), if you by chance find it, build a pen until you have the kibble, DON’T TRY to enter any cave until you tame it, as it can be gone from your pen after you come out from any cave.It HAPPENS to me 3 times.sad.
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.
Get a Quetzal, pick it up, cage it. Well. You have a unicorn until u get kibble
Unicorns (on ark mobile) are almost exclusively found north of the volcano at the base. You will need a argy or a quetz to pick them up (because it’s a dangerous place to tame them) and the only thing you can feed them is griffin kibble. With a 3x soothing balm you will need 2-3 griffin kibbles. With a 10x soothing balm you will need 2 griffin kibbles. With a 15x soothing balm you will only need 1 griffin kibble. Make sure to wear gillie armor so you don’t enrage or spook them. (If you are having trouble figuring out how to get griffin kibble, you need a male and a female, However, their names have to rhyme. Example: alaELL lantirELL, SKYnor SKYlan.) female griffins do not lay eggs naturally. You have to use fertilized eggs to make kibble.
Ok so before I start i play on mobile, and i had just found one of these pretty things near the beach its a lvl 4 but I was just so excited that I even found one and wasted my amber (45) to get soothing balm to take it, turns out they can't eat crops. I tried to give it berries but it doesn't work, im so mad rn.
I found most of the unicorns i tamed in the moon island (the island map)
Found one beside the south cave in ARK mobile literally after that when I was flying over redwoods I saw 2 level 300 argies and 1 300 spino (hard difficulty) these things are so lucky 😍
I apologize for my bad English 😅
I’m pretty sure only 1 spawns on the island so it’s very rare to find one.
How to tame: its like taming an equus.
For people who don’t know how to tame equus/unicorn
You could use any types of berries, rockarrots, troodon egg kibble, veggies, or a sweet veggie cake.
Idk how much food it needs so probably make more than 10.
You need to give the equus/unicorn the food it eats than ride it before it go’s all over the place. If it tries to kick you that’s when you feed it again. If your to late you could get hurt, get injured, or DIE depending on your lvl stats you put on health. After that it should be tamed. The equus/unicorn can be rode without a saddle but it’s prob better to put a saddle on. And yeah :D it’s finished!
I thought it was a eqquis and shot it. Don't eat the poo it's worse than beer. You can get 3 giggas from an egg with these.
I would joke with my friend saying,”OMG I FOUND A UNI!!” He would reply with,”Where?!” And then I would say,”Jk lol.” And then I found an ACTUAL UNI! We don’t have Griffins though because we play on mobile. I hope I get kibble soon!

If you’re colour blind just eat it’s poop
Player two was trying to tame one and when she jumped on the unicorn she fed it seven rock carrots
And then it knocked her out and now we can’t find the unicorn if you know what happened please tell us where we went wrong.
P.S it was on herbivore island
If u find one of these things considered yourself lucky (Make sure to trap and make 2 Griffen kibble not 1) Superfertlized Egg Is what I used
