Sand lashes my hood. A foal noses at a fig while a hulking adult circles the dunes. You have four medium traps and one clean chance to steal this moment.
I’ve trapped camels in every patch of the Shifting Sands update, and I’ll walk you through the exact spots, the bait, and the one trick that keeps adults from stealing your catch. Read this like a field manual: short, direct, and tested in-game and against Steam community chatter.
The Rockhenge outcrops are littered with tracks — All camel locations in Soulmask
The Rockhenge Desert is a furnace that sifts the brave from the unprepared.
Camels spawn consistently around the rock formations in Rockhenge. You’ll spot adults grazing in small herds; the real target is the foal. Adults can be trapped but not tamed — the mount comes only from baby camels.
Where do camels spawn in Soulmask?
Primarily Rockhenge Desert near the rock piles. You may also encounter babies around barbarian camps such as Moon Bay, but that’s rare and unreliable.
Adults circle and block the foal’s path — How to capture a camel in Soulmask
When a parent notices you, it will interfere.
Here’s the short procedure I use when the map and RNG line up:
- Research and craft Medium Trap from the Technology tab. You can’t trap camels without it.
- Make at least four traps and carry figs as bait. Figs spawn in barbarian camps like Moon Bay and in random loot containers.
- Spot a baby and gently herd the adults away before placing traps — adults will trigger traps if they wander into them.
- Anticipate the foal’s path and scatter traps along that line. Set multiple traps; the baby’s route is rarely predictable.
How do you bait a camel in Soulmask?
Figs are the bait. Place them inside the trap and wait at a safe distance. The trap will spring when the foal interacts with the fig; then approach and secure your catch.
Small tip from community threads on Steam and Moyens I/O: distract one adult with sprinting or a thrown item, not direct combat; aggroed adults can scatter the foal.
A colt responds to steady care — How to use the camel as a mount in Soulmask
Young animals need food and water or they don’t make it to saddle age.
After capture you’ll keep the foal in a cradle and tend to it. Feed figs and refill water troughs or containers regularly. Neglect leads to death, so set a reminder if you’ve got other quests on the go.
To turn your camel into a usable mount you must craft and equip a saddle at an armor forging table. The materials are:
- 20 Leather
- 10 Leather Rope
- 15 Gauze
- 10 Thin Rope
Once saddled, you can add a wicker basket to increase storage — your camel becomes a freight train for your loot, hauling more than a simple packhorse. That extra inventory is what makes the mount valuable for long desert runs and trading loops on Steam community markets or server economies.

Ready to risk the dunes for a camel that can carry half your gear — or would you rather trust the merchants in Moon Bay?
