One of the biggest quality-of-life upgrades you can get in The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin is a flying mount, and you don't have to wait long to get one. By heading to a specific location and preparing the right capture items, you can tame a Curious Wild Dragon early in your playthrough and start covering massive distances through the air. This guide walks you through every step, from crafting your potions to landing that capture.
What Types of Pets Exist in Seven Deadly Sins: Origin?
Before jumping into the capture process, it helps to understand the four pet categories available in 7DSO. Each type serves a different purpose during exploration:
Flight pets are the most sought-after because they let you navigate Britannia vertically and horizontally without being constrained by terrain. The key trade-off is stamina management: running out of stamina mid-flight will send you plummeting, so always keep an eye on that meter.
How to Get a Flying Mount in 7DSO
The fastest path to a flying mount involves capturing a Curious Wild Dragon at Dragon's Grave. According to the Game8 walkthrough team, this is achievable well before the game's standard progression would normally grant you one.
Step 1: Craft High-Quality Potions of Charm
Your capture success rate depends almost entirely on which Potion of Charm you use. There are two viable options:
- Concentrated Potion of Charm: Craftable at a workbench, gives a 20% capture chance
- Radiant Potion of Charm: Cannot be crafted, obtained via the Exclusive Skin Banner, gives a 40% capture chance
For free-to-play players, the Concentrated Potion of Charm is your go-to. To craft it, your Workbench must be at Level 4. The required materials are:
Step 2: Travel to Dragon's Grave
Once your potions are ready, make your way to Dragon's Grave. This is where Curious Wild Dragons spawn, and it's the only reliable early-game location to find a tameable flying creature. You'll spot two variants here:
- Green Curious Wild Dragon: Higher taming success rate (recommended)
- Purple Curious Wild Dragon: Lower taming success rate (avoid if possible)
Always prioritize the green variant to maximize your chances of a successful capture.
Step 3: Weaken the Dragon Before Capturing
Attack the Curious Wild Dragon and bring its HP as low as possible without defeating it entirely. The lower the dragon's remaining HP, the higher your probability of a successful capture. This is the most critical part of the process — a dragon at full health is significantly harder to tame.
Step 4: Use the Potion and Complete the Capture
With the dragon weakened, deploy your Potion of Charm and keep the dragon inside the potion's circle. Wait for the dragon to become highlighted in purple, then activate the capturing effect. During the capture sequence, the dragon will freeze in place for a few seconds while the process completes.
If it escapes, simply try again. With Concentrated Potions, you're looking at roughly a 1-in-5 chance per attempt, so persistence is the key. Stock up before you go.
Why Is Getting a Flying Mount Early Worth It?
Flying in The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin transforms how you experience Britannia. Ground travel and gliding are useful, but neither compares to full aerial movement when you're trying to reach distant quest markers, scout new areas, or simply cut travel time in half. Getting a Curious Wild Dragon early means you're not grinding through the world on foot while other players are already soaring.
The stamina mechanic adds a layer of strategy too. You'll want to plan longer flights carefully, touching down to recover before pushing forward. It's a small limitation that keeps aerial travel feeling earned rather than trivial.
