Crimson Desert: Tame a horse

Updated · Patch history

Game8's taming page describes a short struggle, not a trap. Get close, mount, and push the stick or keys opposite the way the horse is facing until the bar fills. Sneaking in helps. Bears and other large animals can be fought down into a temporary seat; they turn hostile again when you dismount.

Named flying mounts such as the wyvern and Blackstar are not this minigame. They have their own pages. Legendary animals Royler, Rokade, and Camora are on the legendary list, not in this horse note.

Opposite steering is the whole horse lesson: mount, then push against the animal's facing until the bar fills. Sneaking is optional help, not a second minigame. A downed bear is a seat with an expiry, because it hates you again the moment you hop off. Wyverns and Blackstar never use this struggle.
