He comes back every now and then. You just have to check Satori Mountain every now and then.

My easiest recommendation is to get the Extra Stamina recipes, which I think you already know about.

Triple post.

I hope you're right. I don't get why he wasn't there on the latest save point in which he originally was.

I cooked a few Tireless Frogs with Hinox parts into an elixir, and also some Bright Eyed Crab into something that restores a lot of stamina, hoping I can use it in the middle of trying to tame Satori without falling off in between.

You need food that increases your stamina and food that replenishes it. That way no matter how long it takes you can take it. You can’t register it though sadly. I toke it for a ride and it was amazing. If you want to get it again after you dismount it, just look for the glow on the mountain. It comes every so often just keep watch.

Yeah, I heard about the "can't register" bit already. I had counted on riding him to Hebra Tower, but at this point in the game all he's really good for is riding him around Hyrule for fun coz I'm about to go after Naboris (just beat Kohga after getting the Hylian Shield and Hyrule Castle shrine). I've been checking Satori Mountain every night but I think he really is gone for good. At least if I want to keep checking the mountain I can use the cooking pot at the stable nearby, it's even protected from rain so it won't go out, and the mountain's in view.

I know I could tame him now if he'd just come back... I'm gonna have to do an eleventh playthrough for that, and while this one wasn't the least bit boring even so soon after the ninth, I am gonna want to take a break for several months at least once I beat Ganon.

Edit: I beat Ganon, now I'll go to that Tabantha Bridge Stable and keep sitting by the fire until he comes back if ever. Remember that as far as my save file canon is concerned, I've never seen him, since it didn't save after I tried taming him and he ran off.

Easiest way is to get full out stamina, 3 wheels
