How to get a horse in Diablo 4 – where to get the quest for a horse

Unfortunately, the mount is not available at the beginning of the game, and even if you get to the capital Kyovashad, you can’t get the horse right away. You must perform a series of actions before you can travel faster.

In this guide, we’ll tell you how and when to get the Mount: Donan’s Favor mount quest, how to complete it, and how to customize your horse.

You can’t get a horse until the beginning of Act 4 in Diablo 4.

In the prologue, when the player first arrives in Kiovashad, they receive three missions: one for Act 1, one for Act 2, and one for Act 3. You can complete these missions in any order, though some are easier than others. But you must complete all three main missions before you can proceed to Act 4.

At the very beginning of Act 4, players again find themselves in Kyowashad to meet Donan at the Cathedral of Light. This happens during the quest Masterful touch. Completing the quest will unlock Mount: Grace of Donan, a mount quest in Diablo 4.

This will happen when you’re about level 30, but it also depends on the difficulty you’re playing on and how many extra tasks you’ve completed. You can ignore side content until you get a horse, as this will greatly speed up the character’s movement speed through the open world.

Talk to the equerry in Kyowashad. He stands by the bridge that leads to the city where Lorat traveled west at the beginning of the game. After a short conversation you will get a pop-up warning about how the mount system works and you can change the color of the horse.

Other mounts will cost you 20,000 gold. It is quite expensive at the beginning of the game, but luckily each mountain becomes available to all characters in your account.

Traveling on horseback is much faster than on foot. It also allows you to easily and quickly activate Lilith’s Altars or evade groups of monsters that want to kill you. But most importantly, once you complete this quest, you’ll unlock the horse for all subsequent characters on your account. This will greatly speed up the early stages for new playthroughs.

You can take off at any time while exploring the open world of Sanctuary by pressing the “Z” key on your keyboard or the right D-pad button on your controller. As you ride, the skill bar will change to reflect the mount’s specific skills.

The horse has a gear system that allows you to increase speed up to three times in a row. After a short cooling period, these charges begin to regenerate one by one. As you run, you become unstoppable – this means that the player can move through monsters unimpeded, so it is recommended to always keep one of the attacks in case you are surrounded by enemies.

Each class also has its own unique driving ability that you can use to quickly dismount and launch an attack.

The horse cannot die. If you take damage on horseback, the counter in the interface will fill up. When the counter reaches the maximum, the horse drops the hero and he cannot jump back during the cooldown.

Helpful advice: jump off the mountain beforehand to prevent the scale from filling up.

In the stable you can change the appearance of the horse and buy new items such as saddles. Such items are purely cosmetic in nature and change the appearance of the horse. At the moment there is no way to increase the horse’s speed or the number of charges.

If you managed to get a trophy for killing the world boss Ashav during the beta test, you can apply the skin to any stable once you get the mount.

Cosmetic items can be purchased with in-game gold from one of the stable managers in the main settlements, while additional items can be unlocked in the Diablo 4 store and through the Season Battle Pass. In addition, there is a small chance that horse customization items will drop from chests, rare enemies, and world bosses.

For those who want to play a little PvP, there are special options for customizing mounts. Stable owners exchange cosmetic items for a special resource that can be earned in PvP zones.

Some quests and events in the game also bring rewards to decorate the horse.

The Decaying Steed Mount in Diablo 4 comes from goblins randomly spawning all over the world. Players must be very lucky to encounter one of them. The goblin will try to run away from the character and use the portal. You must attack him to interrupt the teleportation. During the treasure hunt, don’t be distracted by the monsters attacking you and try not to lose sight of the goblin.

After you defeat a Treasure Goblin, he can drop a lot of great loot, including a mount. But, as we have already noted, the probability of failure is very small.
