I suggest to kill characters which aggro-ed the unicorn and continue after respawn.

Try tranquilize it and let him rest.

Yeah good luck. So far we have never seen them calm down after being carried.


If you don't trap it and just run away after it was spooked, sometimes they calm down. But I've never seen it be the case if you actually picked it up, attacked, or touched it.

All our attempts for that failed, we started taming out in the wild as it just wasn't worth the hassel

I think I once read that structures might also spook animals trying to run away from you. I don't know about unicorns and neither, if this will be helpful to you, but I'm just going to say, that with the horses I've tamed so far, I just needed to keep a distance when they got spooked. If you follow them and get too close they won't calm down. I know, it's not much of advice, but other than that I haven't encountered any issues with horses. Maybe unicorns are especially skittish? =/

The running into water IS a problem, though. That happened to me, too. Doesn't make any sense either.

Try going out of draw range, make sure its not being rendered by anyone. Once its fully out of range wait a few seconds and go back. Be aware it might escape the penn, so plan accordingly (ie turn off turrets, double penn, etc).

it was in the pen the first time it calmed down and i was on the over side of the wall, but good help knowing structures might scare it

i managed to trap a 130 equus yesterday, it was agro for 1hour, i flew across the map and died a few times to try and reset it.. as i got back, was outside of the 3 dino gate trap and still spooked.. oddly enough it got stuck on my wyvern and was able to tame it 2hours after..

i think its broken-ish, Even with ghilie it got spooked oddly
