With the latest Tundra Update in Rune Slayer, players can now tame and ride sea creatures — especially sharks — as their very own Sea Mounts. Not only do these mounts look awesome, but they’re incredibly useful for traveling the new ocean zones.
This How to Get Sea Mount & Tame Sharks Fast in Rune Slayer will walk you through every step to get your sea saddle, farm raw mutated meat, and tame a shark in no time.
Step 1: Travel to the Beach Area (Near Storm Peak)
To begin your journey:
- Head to the beach area in front of Storm Peak Mountain.
- There’s a new village here that serves as your main hub for this process.
- Optional: Set your spawn point at the beach so you can respawn nearby if anything goes wrong.
Step 2: Talk to the Sea Master NPC
Look for an NPC holding a barracuda — this is the Sea Master, and he’s your key to unlocking sea mounts.
First Quest:
- Give him 3x Raw Mutated Meat.
- Completing this quest unlocks access to the Sea Saddle, which is required to ride any sea creature.
Important: You cannot ride any sea mount without the Sea Saddle. Do not skip this step.
Step 3: How to Get Raw Mutated Meat (Fastest Method)
You get Raw Mutated Meat from killing mutated frogs, also called Merlocs.
Best Farming Location:
- Swim across the beach/ocean to reach a secret island (directly across from the main beach).
- This island has a much higher spawn rate of Merlocs than the beach.
- Up to 4+ Merlocs at once.
- No interference from other mobs (like skeletons or lobsters).
💡 Tip: If the beach feels crowded or RNG-heavy, always head to this island for a faster and safer grind.
Step 4: Complete the Sea Saddle Quest
Once you’ve farmed and turned in your 3 Raw Mutated Meat:
- The Sea Master gives you the Sea Saddle.
- You’re now officially ready to tame a sea mount.
Step 5: How to Tame a Shark (Sea Mount)
Where to Find Sharks:
- Swim out into the middle of the ocean from the beach.
- You’ll encounter:
- Basic Sharks (can be tamed)
- Hammerhead Sharks (currently unknown if tameable)
- Whales (non-tameable, decorative for now)
How to Tame the Shark:
- Approach a shark until it notices you.
- Hit the shark once to trigger interaction.
- When prompted, offer Raw Mutated Meat.
- Once accepted, and if you have the Sea Saddle equipped:
- You’ll be able to mount and ride the shark!
✅ You only need to feed one mutated meat during taming (as of current patch).
Optional Exploration & Tundra Connection
- The shark gives you full mobility across water, making it easier to reach other new areas like:
- The Tundra Zone
- Hidden sea islands
- Underwater caves (possibly in future updates)
If you’re heading to the Tundra, taming a shark mount first makes exploration far easier.
The Sea Mount system is not just a cosmetic feature — it’s a core travel mechanic in the Rune Slayer Tundra update. With the ability to farm materials faster, reach hidden areas, and explore distant islands, getting a shark mount early is a huge upgrade to your gameplay.
