The sun had burned the horizon into a flat line when a foal darted between the rocks and I felt the moment narrow down to a single choice. My heart thudded: trap or watch it vanish into the dunes. If you want that camel riding beside you, you need a plan that actually works.
I’ve chased mounts across indie sandboxes and logged the mistakes so you don’t repeat them. I’ll walk you through where to find camels, how to catch a baby without pissing off the adults, and what it takes to turn that baby into a dependable mount. Keep your inventory light and your patience long.
Under a wind-baked sky near stone rings: All camel locations in Soulmask
You’ll see herds grazing where the rocks cut the heat—Rockhenge Desert is the consistent hotspot. The Rockhenge Desert is a slow furnace, and camels favor the shady skirts of those formations.
You’ll want to hunt for baby camels, not adults. Adults can be trapped but not tamed, and they’ll actively interfere if you chase a kid without a plan. Spawn behavior is reliable: check the rock formations and the flats around them, especially at dawn in-game time.
Where can I find camels in Soulmask?
Rockhenge Desert is your best bet; barbarian camps like Moon Bay can occasionally spawn babies too. The camps are more hit-or-miss—use them as a backup rather than your main plan.
When adults circle protectively: How to capture a camel in Soulmask
You’ll notice adults shadowing the young and testing any sudden movement—move slowly. To successfully capture a baby you must plan before you set the trap.
First, craft medium traps from the Technology tab recipe. The game requires those traps specifically; you’ll want at least four so you can cover potential paths. Don’t try to improvise with smaller snares—this is a numbers game.
Bait is figs. You can find Figs in barbarian camps like Moon Bay or stumble on them while looting containers. Keep a small stack in your pouch so you don’t run out mid-chase.
How do you catch a camel in Soulmask?
Spot a baby, then shepherd the adults away before you plant traps. Set multiple medium traps along predicted paths and bait each with a fig. The baby camel is a fragile key; once it touches the bait the trap triggers—interact immediately to collect it.
Patience is the trick: keep distance, don’t sprint at the herd, and don’t let an adult bump a trap before the baby finds it. If an adult intervenes, reposition and try again.
When the foal grows hungry and thirsty: How to use the camel as a mount in Soulmask
Young camels need regular figs and water or they’ll weaken and possibly die—manage their needs like you manage your own inventory. Once fed and watered, you must craft a cradle and the saddle to ride.
To turn a captured baby into a rideable mount you’ll care for it until maturity, providing figs and water in containers or troughs. After it grows, craft a saddle at an armor forging table with these materials:
- 20 Leather
- 10 Leather Rope
- 15 Gauze
- 10 Thin Rope
Equip the saddle to ride. You can also add a wicker basket to expand storage. The mount saves travel time across sand and carries loot the way a small caravan would.
Can baby camels be found in barbarian camps?
Yes—occasionally. That method depends on luck and spawn tables, so use camps as a side strategy while you sweep Rockhenge Desert for predictable spawns.
If you use community tools like the Soulmask subreddit, Steam forums, or developer posts from Qooland Games you’ll spot player-verified spawn reports and trap tips that can shave hours off your search. I check Moyens I/O and Reddit threads when I want quick confirmation of a spawn pattern.
Ready to spend the figs and traps for a camel that actually makes desert travel bearable—or would you rather rely on luck and keep sprinting across sand?
