This guide pulls together where to find the legendary Golden Shark mount added in the Charting the Unknown DLC and how to tame it, cross-checked against several overseas guides. Unlike the regular shark, you have to dive very deep.
The Golden Shark is one of the legendary underwater mounts added by the Charting the Unknown DLC. Once tamed it becomes a permanent mount you can summon in the ocean. The flow is similar to taming a regular shark, but the regular ones live in shallow water while the Golden Shark sits around 220m down.
Location: deep water south of Dewhaven
KeenGamer (Nov 2) places it in Delesyia in the deep water south of Dewhaven, directly east of the Sea Serpent Kelp Forest, at roughly -220m. PlayNews also reports the water south of Dewhaven and about 220m, but only KeenGamer gives the kelp forest landmark. The shark roams, so search the same depth rather than surfacing.
What to bring
Dive gear with extra max breath: KeenGamer suggests the Charter's Diving Set (a pre-order bonus), the Marine Charter's Diving Set or Forsaken Oath armor. PowerUp Gaming says the Charter's helm and suit each add +120 max breath and the gloves and boots add +2% swim speed each.
Force Palm, used through Axiom Force. If you lack it, you can unlock it in Chapter 1 'Traces' by solving Axiom Force puzzles in the Abyss.
Healing food, because sharks hit hard.
A Harpoon Gun for wearing down regular sharks, from the Greymane chain quest 'Where the Wind Blows' according to PowerUp Gaming.
Taming steps
Find Dewhaven on the world map and mark the water east of the Sea Serpent Kelp Forest.
Sail there, equip breath gear and dive to about -220m.
Search the area at that depth; the shark moves.
When it approaches, hit its head with Force Palm to stun it.
Swim to the stunned shark and press the ride button.
In the minigame keep the left stick forward, counter the tail's movement with the left stick and use the right stick to keep the tail in view until the bar fills.
Tips to avoid failing
Stun it, do not kill it. Avoid heavy damage such as repeated Harpoon Gun shots.
Keep the tail in the camera to predict its movement.
If you are thrown off, find it again and repeat the stun and mount.
The minigame drains stamina fast, so higher stamina helps, and daytime gives better underwater visibility.
Regular sharks
Regular sharks are found in shallow water around the new islands. PowerUp Gaming mentions Red Hangs Island, a lone Abyss Cresset with hydrothermal vents and the outskirts of Delesyia, with no fixed spawn points. Aggro it with the Harpoon Gun, stun it with Force Palm as it charges, then mount it. Practicing on a regular shark helps you learn the minigame before the Golden Shark.
💡 Tip: If breath runs out while searching, upgrade your breath-boosting gear first instead of resurfacing repeatedly.
⚠ The location (south of Dewhaven, about 220m) is shared by KeenGamer and PlayNews; the Sea Serpent Kelp Forest landmark comes only from KeenGamer. Some names are translated and may differ in the game. Patches may change the details.
