In Elden Ring, you ride a horse-like creature named Stormwind. But do you know all the important maneuvers with the mount? You should.
In Elden Ring, you get your Stormwind mount after visiting some Places of Grace. In the quick item selection menu, select the Spectral Horse Whistle and instantly summon Stormwind, allowing you to travel through the Between Lands faster, though not quite as fast as with Fast Travel.
With the sprint button you ride faster and you can double jump with the mount, which is easy to forget.
Essential tips and tricks for Elden Ring
Action RPG Guide
Getting started in the Elden Ring will be easier for you with these tips and tricks. Our guide is on hand to help newcomers to the intermediate land.
Riding not only allows you to move faster, you can also access previously inaccessible plateaus and hills. For this you look out for small wind vortices near rock faces. Jump in with Stormwind and you will be catapulted into the air.
Mounted Combat
Fighting on horseback can still be hugely beneficial, as you hit the opponent from an elevated position. In addition, you have mostly ridden past your opponent before he catches you. It’s a safe way to take out most of the infantry, but the attacks while moving require you to be particularly precise in your timing. But it’s not too difficult either.
Important when striking: You can decide whether to attack on the right or left in the riding direction. To do this, press the left or right attack button accordingly.
If you are fighting flying creatures that move quickly, mounted combat can also be worthwhile. On the one hand you can better adapt to their movement speed, on the other hand you can use Stormwind to perform jump attacks and hit the opponents where you can’t reach on foot.
When things get tough
If you take too much damage, you quickly ride out of range of the enemy and drink a healing potion. It can even be consumed while riding at full speed. Thanks to Stormwind, you might escape death even more often.
