In the vast explorable world of Diablo 4, unlocking mounts is a game-changer. Trudging the wilds on foot can lead to a lot of downtime between combat encounters. As players cross the vast regions, the only way to get somewhere quickly through most of the game is to teleport from town to town.
To unlock a mount in Diablo 4 for the very first time, you will have to beat a priority quest that unfortunately doesn't come up before the fourth Act. For your first playthrough, there is no shortcuts or alternatives to this.
While that is bad news when it comes to unlocking your first mount in Diablo 4, there is also some good news when it pertains to your alts. Thankfully, you’ll only have to wait once throughout your time in D4 to unlock your horse.
When can you unlock the mount in Diablo 4?
You can unlock the mount in Diablo 4 right after you defeat the Final Boss of Act 3 and begin Act 4. It’s essentially the first quest of Act 4, so focus on that before going to explore or grind through dungeons in Blizzard’s hit Action RPG.
Once you’ve completed the final boss of Act 3 in Diablo 4, players will swiftly unlock the Priority Quest Mount: Donan’s Favor.
- Once you unlock it, head to Kyovashad and complete the quest.
- Talk to the stablehand, pick “I’m a friend of Donan’s. He said you could provide a horse.”
- After this, you’ll get a free horse.
- If you wish, You can purchase another one for 20,000g or equip one of the other mounts you may have already unlocked.
However, there’s a positive note for your various steeds in this game. Once you’ve unlocked the feature, it’s unlocked for everyone, meaning Eternal and Hardcore characters alike. Whether you start a new character or have an existing Hardcore mode character in Diablo 4, you can mount up as soon as you load onto that character.
Once you have a horse, you can mount up and ride at will. You also have an attack to use when you dismount. You cannot use your horse in dungeons and in certain areas, but other than that, you’re free to use it whenever you’d like.
Once that is unlocked, you can get your hands on a lot of new types of mounts by slaying certain bosses, finding hidden areas, completing Nightmare Dungeons, and solving puzzles.
Diablo 4: Can you unlock mount after skipping campaign?
Diablo 4 Season 2 added the ability to skip the campaign for new characters. This also involves skipping the Donan's Favor quest, and thus many players have wondered if you can still unlock the mount.
The answer is yes, you can! Simply level up to 25, go to Kyovoshad, and talk to the Stable master Oskar to unlock your mount on a campaign-skip Diablo 4 character.
Diablo 4 mount customization options
When it comes to mount customization options in the game, you will be able to slot out and slot in various items that will seek to change how your mount appears. Stuff like trophies, a new saddle, and trinkets are one of the best ways to help your mount stand apart.
To add these cosmetic effects, you must visit any stable master on the map. They will have the option that will allow you to customize your mount as you see fit.
Future seasons of Diablo 4 will introduce more mounts and mount cosmetics in the game.
