Revision as of 14:19, 26 April 2011
I have a pet unicorn (on my own machine) and it seems to be capped out at level 6 and 48 hp. Considering that it is a herbavore and avoids wraith corpses, is there any way I can get this beast a bit stronger? I want to ride it through the endgame if I can (I will genocide black dragons just to avoid my saddle being destroyed), but 48 hp seems far too weak for that.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated! --Aarnott 17:35, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

- In SLASH'EM, the Yeoman can also keep non-eating pets tame by using their "Calm Steed" technique. If you're playing SLASH'EM, Pegasus is also a good mount for the end-game, and doesn't have the same restrictions as a Ki-rin to tame (the trick is getting him to appear - it requires killing Medusa in such a way that she leaves a corpse, so the usual "reflect her gaze and turn her to stone" method won't get you Pegasus).
