Broken Elk?

[Maethius]

Well, I finally got everything I need! Got my saddle, got my bridle, got my medallion, got my saddlebags, got my lantern, got my bedroll, got my bone flute... (okay, I didn't bring any cooking pots, but I did bring a stack of cooked meat)...

Bought my elk! Just one problem... I can't attach anything to any part of the elk. NOTHING.

He walks around, stately and strong, his mighty antlers reaching out to the sky! And he ignores me. I try to place the medallion on his forehead. Nothing. Shift-Right Click, isn't it? In the little target box right between the eyes? Yeah, no... he doesn't care. Saddle? Nope! I DID manage to mount him on accident... WITHOUT the saddle! It was still in my hands. He didn't seem to mind... or mind me. No bridle, either. Nothing will place on my elk.

Any ideas how I can convince this majestic beast the I shilled out 100 gears for him after spending weeks upgrading my gear for this moment?

Thanks!

Edit: okay, despite the videos I watched, I figured out is was CTRL + right clicking to place gear! Huzzah! Not that anything else in the game used CTRL, that I know of, but okay!

I finally can ride my decked out elk! ... who seems to walk much slower than I do in full armor with a chest on my back.

Where's the gas pedal?

Ya generally speaking, in any situation where the expected interaction is not working, it's best to try the alternate keyboard key.  So if you were expecting shift-rightclick, try cntrl-rightclick.  And vice versa.  That's quite often the difference.

I forget which bridle is which, but you need to hold Ctrl with one to gallop, and simply tap Ctrl to start galloping with the other. Though I do recommend slowing down for very rough or forested terrain, if you're riding through those areas rather than skirting around.

Tell me about it. I swear I've eaten more honeycomb than squeezed it.
