To catch the Bumblephant and Royal Steed in The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin, locate their regional spawn points during calm weather, crouch to approach them from behind without triggering their alert gauge, deploy bait to pacify them, and complete the directional stabilization prompt while mounted.
Habitats and Visual Identifiers
Both creatures spawn passively in the open world, but each stays within distinct terrain types:
| Creature | Biome and Terrain | Visual Signs | Idle Behavior |
|---|---|---|---|
| Royal Steed | Open grasslands, roadside plains, low meadows | White coat luster, upright posture, saddle marks | Walks along flat pasture paths |
| Bumblephant | Blossom groves, lush forested valleys, flower nodes | Round frame, insect wings, floral markings | Hovers slightly above tall vegetation |
Clear out any aggressive field monsters within roughly 50 meters of your target before approaching. Nearby enemy aggro will startle the animal or knock you off during the taming sequence.
How to Approach Without Alerting the Mount
Both beasts flee if approached carelessly. To stay undetected:
- Crouch Early: Toggle crouch mode before closing within 30 meters of the animal.
- Approach from Behind: Advance directly behind the creature's line of sight to keep the suspicion meter from filling.
- Use Terrain Breaks: Move through tall grass, dips in elevation, or behind rocks to break direct visual contact.
- Stop on Alert Signals: If the Royal Steed raises its head and stamps, or if the Bumblephant buzzes and turns toward you, immediately stop moving until the suspicion icon clears.
Step-by-Step Taming Sequence
Once you are in position, execute the capture steps in order:
- Equip Bait: Assign an herb or sweet lure to your active quick slot before entering interactive range.
- Move to Range: Crouch-walk behind the target until the interaction prompt appears over the creature.
- Use the Lure: Trigger the bait to distract and freeze the animal in place while it feeds.
- Mount the Beast: Press the ride prompt immediately while the target is eating to begin the stabilization phase.
- Counter the Bucking: Watch the on-screen balance gauge. When the creature bucks to the left or right, enter the opposing directional command to preserve your capture stamina.
- Confirm the Tame: Maintain balance until the meter reaches the green capture threshold and the pet confirmation prompt appears.
If your capture stamina depletes from failed directional inputs, you will be bucked off, forcing a cooldown before you can try again.
Managing Resets and Fleeing Creatures
If a target is startled, do not chase it. Running after a panicked animal extends its alert state and risks aggroing nearby wildlife. Instead, back away 20 to 30 yards and wait until the creature exits its alert stance and returns to idle behavior. If a target completely despawns after a failed attempt, travel to a nearby landmark or reload your local zone instance to trigger a fresh spawn.
Traversal Roles: Which Mount to Use
Deploy your mount based on the terrain you plan to explore:
- Royal Steed: Best for flat roads, wide meadows, and traveling quickly between distant quest points due to low stamina drain at high running speeds. It struggles with tight turns and rocky obstructions.
- Bumblephant: Best for dense forests, cliffs, and uneven ruins. Because it hovers above the ground, it glides across shallow water, small rocks, and broken terrain without breaking momentum.

Good guide for The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin players. The strategy part was useful.
Can you add more details about strategy in a future update?
I tried this today and it worked better than my old setup.
The tips are practical and easy to follow.
