In Diablo 4's vast, dark world of Sanctuary, traversing the sprawling landscapes on foot can feel tedious-especially when you're hunting demons, completing quests, or exploring hidden dungeons across fractured peaks, scorching deserts, and tangled swamps. A mount is not just a cosmetic upgrade; it's a game-changer that boosts your movement speed, saves time, and adds flair to your adventure. Unlike some other open-world games, mounts in Diablo 4 aren't available from the start. They require progression, but the process is straightforward once you know the steps. This guide breaks down everything you need to know to unlock and obtain your first mount, plus how to get more unique mounts later.

Prerequisites: What You Need Before Unlocking Mounts

Before you can saddle up, you must meet two core prerequisites-progress through the main story or reach a specific level (if you skip the story). Blizzard designed mounts to unlock mid-game, ensuring you first experience Sanctuary on foot and grow familiar with its dangers.

For players following the main campaign: You need to complete Acts I, II, and III of the story. These acts take you through key regions, introduce core characters, and build up to the events of Act IV, where mounts become available. You can't rush to Act IV early; the game locks it until you finish the first three acts, even if you reach the capital city of Kyovashad early on.

For players who skip the story (available after your first playthrough): You don't need to complete the campaign. Instead, you must reach level 25. Once you hit level 25, a priority quest will automatically appear, guiding you to unlock your mount. This is a great option for seasoned players who want to jump straight into endgame content with a mount.

A crucial note: Once you unlock mounts on one character, all other characters on your account (in both Eternal and Seasonal Realms) get access to mounts automatically. You only need to complete the unlock process once per account-which saves time if you want to play multiple classes.

Step-by-Step: Unlocking Your First Mount

Whether you follow the story or skip it, the final step to unlock mounts revolves around the "Mount: Donan's Favor" quest. This quest is the key to getting your first steed, and it's quick to complete once it becomes available.

If you're following the story: After finishing Acts I-III, you'll start Act IV. Early in Act IV, you'll complete a short main quest called "A Master's Touch," where you meet Donan at the Cathedral of Light in Kyovashad. After speaking with Donan, the "Mount: Donan's Favor" quest will unlock as a priority quest.

If you skipped the story: Once you reach level 25, the "Mount: Donan's Favor" quest will pop up automatically. Head to the stable in Kyovashad-marked by a horse icon on your map-and speak to Oskar, the stable master.

Completing the quest is simple: All you need to do is talk to Oskar. When you speak to him, select the option "I'm a friend of Donan's" (if prompted). Oskar will thank you, explain how mounts work, and reward you with your first free mount-the "Reins of the Old Nell Steed," a basic brown horse. Congratulations-you can now ride your mount anywhere in Sanctuary (except inside dungeons).
