How to Tame a White Lion in World of Warcraft

Last Updated: June 30, 2020

If you are playing a hunter in World of Warcraft, you have the advantage of taming pets to help you. There are many pets to choose from, but if you are interested in a dramatic pet, why not consider a white lion? While white lions can be acquired later on in Winterspring, it is possible to get a white lion before you get to level twenty.

Method 1

Method 1 of 2:
For Horde

1
Go to the Barrens.
2
Take the quests from Sergra Darkthorn at the Crossroads.
3
Finish the quests until you get to the quest called "Echeyakee." You will receive a horn to call the white lion.
4
Go to the spot that Sergra Darkthorn describes.
5
Kill off the other lions wandering around the area. They are typically fast spawns, so watch out for them regenerating behind you.
6
Use the horn by right clicking on it.
7
Tame Echeyakee, the white lion, when he appears.
8
Return to the Crossroads to pick up the quest again, as you will have failed it at this point. You can then drop the quest and pick it up again, this time completing it as written.

Method 2

Method 2 of 2:
For Alliance

1
Create a Horde character on the same server as the Alliance character that you want to have a white lion. At this point in World of Warcraft, you can have characters from both factions on one server.
2
Get a Horde character up to level level 16; this is when you can pick up the quest to summon Echeyakee.
3
Transport your Alliance character to the location where Echeyakee spawns. If you have a coordinates add-on, you want to be at 55,18.
4
Have your Horde character pick up the quest, Echeyakee.
5
Go to the spot that Sergra Darktooth describes.
6
Kill off the other lions wandering around the area. They are typically fast spawns, so watch out for them regenerating behind you.
7
Use the horn by right clicking on it.
8
Log out of your Horde character.
9
Log into your Alliance character immediately. The white lion is still there unless he has been tamed or killed by another hunter.
10
Tame Echeyakee, the white lion.
