What to know
- Mounts exist for Horses, Rams, and Skeleton Horses, all rideable in Survival mode.
- You don’t “tame” them permanently; you temporarily make them friendly so they let you ride.
- To ride a Normal horse or Ram, use a suitable food (carrots for Horses, any vegetable for Rams) and right‑click.
- Skeleton Horses are a special mount that cannot be fed; just right‑click to ride like a normal horse.
Mounts in Hytale let you travel faster and explore efficiently, whether it’s a Horse, Mountain Ram, or Skeleton Horse. While you can’t tame them permanently, temporarily making them friendly allows you to ride and navigate Survival mode with ease. Knowing how to find, mount, and care for each type ensures a smooth adventure across the world.
How to ride a normal Horse
Follow the steps below to learn how to ride a Horse in Hytale:
Step 1: Equip food and find a Horse
Hold a carrot in your hand and search for a horse in a forest, grassland, or rainy biome.
Step 2: Make it friendly
Approach slowly and spam right‑click the horse while holding the carrot. Friendly particles (hearts or sparkles) will appear.
Step 3: Mount the horse
Right‑click again to ride the horse. Move with W/S/A/D, jump with space, and dismount with F.
Important: Once you dismount, the horse will forget you and eventually run away. Keep it fenced in a stable or pen if you want to reuse it later.
How to ride a Ram
Follow the steps below to mount and ride a Ram in Hytale with ease:
Step 1: Equip food and find a Ram
Hold any vegetable (carrots, potatoes, etc.) in your hand and head to an ice or snow biome, typically in mountains or tundra areas.
Step 2: Mount the Ram
Right‑click the Ram while holding the vegetable to mount it.
Step 3: Ride the Ram
Right‑click again to ride. Move with W/S/A/D, sprint with Shift, and dismount with F.
Like the Horse, the Ram will go wild after dismounting, so build a snowy enclosure to keep it around.
How to mount a Skeleton Horse
The Skeleton Horse can’t be tamed but you can ride it by following the steps below:
Step 1: Locate a Skeleton Horse
Go to undead or eerie areas, such as near Outlander villages or dark ruins.
Step 2: Mount directly
Right‑click the skeleton horse to ride; no food is needed.
Step 3: Control and dismount
Move with W/S/A/D, jump with space, and dismount with F. Skeleton horses do not respond to food but can still be attacked by other creatures while riding, so stay alert.
How to avoid losing your mount
After riding, normal horses and rams will eventually go wild again. To keep them, build a fenced enclosure near your base and keep a carrot or vegetable in your hotbar to lure them inside. For skeleton horses, use a separate pen since they may spook or wander. When you want to ride again, simply return to the pen, right‑click the mount (using food if needed), and hop on.
Important combat & riding tips
- While mounted, you cannot use weapons or magic.
- If creatures attack, you take damage normally but cannot defend until dismounting (F).
- Mounts are only available in Survival mode, not Creative.
- Use mounts to flee combat or travel quickly, but dismount before engaging enemies.
- To get all three mounts: use carrots for horses, vegetables for rams in snowy biomes, and locate skeleton horses in eerie, undead areas—then right‑click to ride.
Mount up for adventure
Hytale’s mounts are invaluable for travel, exploration, and quick escapes in Survival mode. By learning where to find horses, rams, and skeleton horses, and keeping them in simple enclosures, you can enjoy faster journeys and reliable companions whenever you need them.
