Diablo 4: How To Get A Mount [Types & Skills]

Diablo 4 has a big map, and no one wants to keep walking on foot as it is both tedious and tiring. Therefore, I recommend knowing about how to get a mount in Diablo 4, which is basically a horse. With a mount, you can cover more land in a shorter period. 

Quest To Get A Mount In Diablo 4

During your journey, you may get hints on getting a horse in Diablo 4. However, you will not be able to get one until you have completed half of the story. Once you reach Act 4 of Diablo 4, you will come across Donan’s Favor Quest found in Kyovashad. 

To complete the quest, you will need to:

1. Find Donan, who seems to be an important NPC.
2. Go back to the Stable Master.
3. Finish the Quest and unlock your first mount.

If you ask me, the Mount you get from the quest is a pretty basic one. However, you can get more after it, so it’s worth it.

Method Of Unlocking Each Mount

For each mount, there is a different approach when it comes to unlocking them.

Therefore, here’s how you can get each mount:

After you get a mount, you will then have access to stables. Each stable has its own NPC. You can equip, pick, and buy mounts by talking to these NPCs. I personally like the Spectral Charger, so I would recommend getting that.

Cosmetics For Mounts

It is important to know that cosmetics do not affect the gameplay in any way. Therefore, you have the freedom to select any type of Mount Trophie or Mount Bardings. There are a total of forty-seven Mount Trophies and forty-two Mount Bardings in Diablo 4. However, you need to take an extra step in unlocking these cosmetics.

Mount Trophies

The Mount Trophies are basically the trophies that will be hanging on the rear side of your horse. You can use it to show off your achievements. Moreover, you can use it to warn others who dare to attack you.

The following is my take on how to get all the Mount Trophies:

All Mount Skills

After you get a mount, you will discover some skills you can use with a mount to gain an advantage in a fight or be more efficient. In total, there is a total of seven skills, and each skill has its own cooldown period. Moreover, only two skills are available for all classes in Diablo 4; the other five are available for one class each.

The mount skills are as follows:

• Spur – All Classes: allows you to move your mount faster.
• Dismount – All Classes: lets you jump off the mount.
• Bounding Slam – Barbarian Class only: lets Barbarian pummel the ground twice after leaping from the mount. Deals 75% extra damage while stunning enemies. Requires a two-handed weapon.
• Volley – Rogue Class only: unleashes a volley of arrows after leaping from the mount, dealing 70% more damage. Requires a ranged weapon.
• Pummel – Druid Class only: Shifts into a werebear and slams the ground, dealing 140% more damage while knocking down enemies for two and a half seconds.
• Freezing Wake – Sorceress Class only: crystalize into a rushing piece of ice, dealing 60% extra damage and freezing all the enemies for two seconds.
• Bone Spike – Necromancer Class only: slam the ground while unleashing a trail of spikes, dealing 80% more damage and stunning enemies for two seconds.

This concludes my guide. To get your first mount, you must complete Donan’s Favor Quest, which you will find in Act 4.
