Everything You Need to Know About Diablo 4 Mounts

So, Mounts are a form of transportation in Diablo 4, connected not only to transferring you from point A to point B, but also to the in-game rewards such as basic horses and more exotic beasts looking like dragons and unicorns, e.g., Grisly Calico or Spectral Charger Mount.

There are 46 mounts currently available in stables in Diablo IV, with 99 mounts in total, available from the in-game sources, including shop, quests, etc. All known Diablo 4 mounts can be separated into the following categories:

1. Battle Pass Mounts;
2. Challenge Mounts;
3. Drop Mounts;
4. Shop Mounts;
5. Special Mounts;
6. PvP Mounts;
7. Vendor Mounts.

Despite their differences, all mount types serve purely cosmetic purposes and don’t offer any real advantage over each other during exploration.

This does not take away from the enjoyment of owning one, though, as some of these designs are quite creative and can really give your character an extra flair during travel.

While the console versions may have a few select unlockable mounts and other customization options via download codes or pre-order bonuses, each platform’s store will have its own unique styles that players can purchase with in-game currency or real money if they wish to stand out from the crowd when they’re traveling around Sanctuary. By the way, with the help of our team, you can get any amount of the  Red Dust to buy whatever mount customization you like.

How to Unlock Mounts in Diablo 4

To unlock access to Diablo 4 mounts, first of all, you need to progress through the main story to Act 4. Then, complete the quest “Donan’s Favour” in Kyovashad and finally get your mounts.

Make sure they visit the city of Kyovashad early in the Diablo 4 campaign, as this is where you’ll meet a Stable Master who has the “Donan’s Favor” quest. It appears at the early stage in the game, but unfortunately, you still must wait until Act 4 before it can be completed. Then, you will receive “A Master’s Touch” main quest. Talk to Donan at the Cathedral of Light in Kyovashad and go back to the Stable Master.

There you will finally get as a reward your very own horsey companion — Old Nell Steed! Alternatively, you can buy one of the other steeds right there. Grey Steed and Mottled Steed cost 20,000 gold each.

Other in-game and paid content options for mounts will be available from the in-game shop. And we’ll tell you about the best mounts in Diablo 4, from the rarest to the most common, and how to get each one. Even though some of the mounts in Diablo IV have a slightly demonic appearance, fear not!

Diablo 4 Battle Pass Mounts

Battle Pass Mounts in Diablo IV are obtained as part of seasonal battle passes. They are unique and nice-looking. Unfortunately, once the season changes and a new battle pass releases, you can no longer obtain these mounts. Here’s a full list of Diablo IV Battle Pass Mounts, both currently available and retired:

Diablo 4 Challenge Mounts

Challenge Mounts in Diablo IV are granted as rewards for those who are capable of defeating Uber foes, like Uber Duriel or Echo of Lilith. Luckily, you don’t have to suffer in blood, sweat, and tears to get them; just ask our team for assistance.

 Diablo 4 Bloody Liquid Steed

The Bloody Liquid Mount is one of the most popular Challenge Mounts. It has a dark and morbid appearance compared to other steeds. Its gory aesthetic and bloodied appearance can be seen as menacing and fitting for the Diablo universe.

This mount can be found in many regions of the game world and simply needs the Reigns of the Bloody Liquid Steed to be taken to a Stable Master to unlock. Plus, it’s the perfect accessory to complement dark Sorcerer gear.

Diablo 4 Drop Mounts

It’s fair to mention that Drop Mounts is one of the largest categories of Diablo IV mounts. Drop Mounts are relatively easy to obtain, as they simply have a chance to drop from a boss or just some random mobs and monsters in their respective zones. However, there’s a trick — some of these mounts have extremely rare drop chances. So rare that only a few players have laid their hands on these mounts.

Diablo 4 Cavalier’s Steed

The Cavalier’s Steed is the perfect and easy-to-get mount for any aspiring holy knight. This mount has a noble white color and a regal appearance, adding an extra layer of class to anyone riding it. The well-kept mane is a particularly nice touch, ensuring that it stands out even among similar mounts.

It can be obtained as a drop from monsters, chests, and Legion Events throughout Sanctuary. Then, you simply need to take the Cavalier’s Steed reins to a Stable Master in any region of the map and unlock it, no hidden paywalls or expensive purchases necessary.

Diablo 4 Decaying Steed

The Decaying Steed is undoubtedly one of the most distinct mounts available in the world of Diablo 4. Despite its undead, skeletal appearance and decaying muscles and abrasions, it still presents an intimidating look that will make any adventurer stand out among the rest. What could be an interesting twist to an already unique creature is the story behind its creation from necromancy.

To acquire a Decaying Steed, players must defeat Treasure Goblins found in various locations within the game. The Reigns of the Decaying Steed are a rare item that is specifically dropped by these goblins.

Diablo 4 Grisly Calico

The Grisly Calico is a unique mount appearance with a striking look, but the best thing about it is that this mount is extremely rare. The Grisly Calico can be obtained through monster loot drops, but it is very rare compared to other mounts available.

This is especially fortunate since the Grisly Calico has an armor-like coating that gives it armor without having to garb it in equipment.

Diablo 4 Spectral Charger

The Spectral Charger (obtained from Ghastly Reins) is a highly sought-after Diablo 4 mount. Possessing an ethereal ghostly appearance, the skeletal horse looks like it has been tamed or resurrected from some kind of supernatural force. It has a haunting yet illusory look that captivates many players of the game.

Unfortunately, if you want to obtain the Spectral Charger mount, you must progress far into the game’s main story before you have a chance. Namely, you need to complete the mission to liberate the Kor Dragan Stronghold in Fractured Peaks before you can participate in the Gathering Legion Zone event, which is where this mount will be available as a loot drop for those who complete it successfully.

Diablo 4 Shop Mounts

Shop Mounts are the most obtainable mounts in Diablo IV, as you can simply buy them in the in-game shop. Surely, you need some currency (Platinum), and ensure that currently this or that mount is available for purchasing.

Diablo 4 Ingot Mount

⚠️ No longer available for purchase.

The Ingot Mount is a unique and intimidating horse available for in-game purchase for 1,600 platinum. The horse itself looks pretty casual, but its dark color and additional armor options can make it appear quite supernatural.

The Weight of Gold bundle that unlocks the Ingot Mount also grants players access to some especially cool armor designs, such as the Keras Bullion for the Ingot Mount. Players who don’t mind spending extra on purely cosmetic items may extremely enjoy owning something as striking and unique as the Ingot Mount.

Diablo 4 Liath Icehowl

⚠️ No longer available for purchase.

The Liath Icehowl is a unique and eye-catching paid mount from the Crypt Hunter bundle that will make you stand out from your friends. With its distinct gray coat with spotted white dots, white head, and uniquely decorated mane of beads, this horse looks incredibly realistic yet also unique.

It is suitable for any class in the game, making it perfect for any wanderer who has been in search of a great mount. The bundle that provides the horse, also brings skins for the Protean Axe and Beginning’s End Dagger, as well as 800 platinum currency, which makes it even more worth it to buy the Crypt Hunter bundle.

Diablo 4 Special Mounts

Special Mounts in Diablo IV are special mounts, addition of which is often linked to some special occasion, be it a release of the new season, Twitch collaborations, gifts, etc.

Diablo 4 Light-Bearer

⚠️ No longer available for purchase.

The Light-Bearer mount is a special horse that came as a gift for Diablo 4 pre-order. Not only does Light-Bearer have its own mane and branded pattern on the rear, but a full set of armor to boot. His unique armor grants an impressive regal look to the horse, making it stand out amongst other mounts throughout the game.

Diablo 4 Primal Instinct

⚠️ No longer available for purchase.

Primal Instinct is a truly unique mount that you can unlock by linking your Blizzard and Twitch accounts and following some other steps. The mount has an exclusive design and luxurious, patterned details that set it apart from the more conventional mounts offered in-game.

Its dark black coat is covered in branded cultist symbols, while its ornate patterns give it an almost mythical aura. When compared with other horses, Primal Instinct stands out with its distinctive look, making it a sought-after item for players who want to stand out from the crowd.

Diablo 4 Temptation

Temptation is a unique new mount that’s available to players who purchase the Deluxe or Ultimate edition of Diablo 4. This spectacular, supernatural steed is famous for its glowing red eyes and thin, creepy skin.

The Temptation mount itself has an intimidating, almost decaying look about it, muscular in build with noticeably sharp features that enhance any type of armor worn by its rider. The eye-catching appearance of this mound will suit any character you play in Diablo 4.

Diablo 4 PvP Mounts

PvP Mounts are rewards for distinguished Diablo 4 PvP players. Gather enough currency, find a PvP Vendor, and the horse is yours!

Diablo 4 Vendor Mounts

Some Vendors in Diablo IV (Stable Masters, precisely) can sell you a Vendor Mount. These mounts are usually budget-friendly and can become your first companions. By the way, it’s advised to purchase them early on, as their price grows as you progress through the game.

The higher your level is, the more Gold you will pay. So, make up your mind and go straight to the Stable Master with pockets full of gold, provided by our professional team.

Diablo 4 Bardings

The Bardings in Diablo IV are certainly something to look forward to, and players will undoubtedly be eager to collect them all. And if you thought that mounts in Diablo IV were impressive, wait until you see the bardings! These stunning decorations for your mounts are sure to turn heads and make your steed stand out from the rest.

There are multiple methods for players to acquire Mount Armor:

1. In-Game Purchase;

3. Challenges;
