Soulmaskisone of the best survival/management games, and it features a vast map that feels alive and populated. There are a lot of different creatures, tons of places to explore, and plenty of game mechanics to master.
Properly exploring the map ofSoulmaskis time-consuming, and requires a lot of walking around. Players need mounts if they want to reduce the amount of time they spend traveling. They can get mounts by taming the creatures they come across. However, only a few animals can be mounted by players. Here’s everything you need to do to obtain these animals and make them your companions.
All Mounts in Soulmask
Soulmaskis currently in Early Access, so the number of mounts might change as new updates come out. At the time of writing, there are only five mounts in the game so far. Among these, the higher tier onesrequire a higher Awareness Strengthin order for the player to ride them.
The minimum Awareness Strength players need to ride a mount is15, meaning they’ll have to spend a few hours exploring the map on their own two feet. Mounts are only unlocked near the end of the early game once players have solidified their presence on the land andcreated a sustainable base.

How to Tame All Mounts in Soulmask
Alpaca
Capture young Alpacas with amedium trap. These animalsfeed on certain fruits/vegetables,which act as good bait for them.Kill the adultAlpacas around the young ones, and give the small animals time tofall into the trap. Then, simplycarry them to a base,feed themuntil they grow, anduse a saddleto turn one into a mount.
Llama
Llamas can be captured through thesame process as Alpacas. Llamas prefer pineapples, peanuts, and Llama Feed, both for food and for bait. Llamas are much better than Alpacas when it comes to carrying capacity. They also have different types of saddles that let them carry unconscious NPCs, captured animals, and extra loot.
Players can find baby Llamas and Alpacasearly in the game from the various Barbarian campsscattered in the starting area of the map. Finding them in the wild will take much longer, since they only spawn in the grasslands in the middle of the map. Players shouldn’t approach this middle-game area until they have cleared the first pyramid.
Jaguar
Find a Jaguar Mother using theblue tracks found across the map. These will be unlocked once the playerrepairs the mask node: Habitat Analysis. The tracks only become visible when the player is actively usingLife Perception. After finding the mother, follow her back to her cub. There, set medium traps around the perimeter, making sure not to alert the cub in the process. Useany type of meatas bait.
Players will need a lot of patience to catch the cub, since it needs to wander into the cage on its own. Jaguars have alarge sensory range, so make sure tostay far enough awaythat they don’t hear or see you. Once captured, simplycarry the cubback to base, feed it fresh meat, and raise it until it becomes a large animal. Use a Jaguar saddle on it to make it into a mount.
Ostritch
Find anOstrich egg, hatch it in the base, and grow it until it’s ready to be used as a mount. Ostrich eggs can be hatched by placing them near asource of heat. After hatching, these animals grow up fairly quickly and become ready to mount once they reach maturity.
Snow Leopard
Snow Leopardsundergo the same process as panthers/jaguars. These are typically the highest level mounts in the game, somake sure to level up as much as possiblebefore trying to tame them.
Which Mount Should You Choose?
Leopards and panthers arebest for speed,making them great for exploration. Alpacas and Llamas have a muchhigher carrying capacity, making them good for hauling loot. Meanwhile, Ostriches are a unique mount that canhelp the player glide. Having different types of mounts in the player base is beneficial since they’re useful for different situations.
