How to get animal mounts in Hogwarts Legacy

Hippogriff mount

In order to acquire animal mounts in Hogwarts Legacy, it is necessary to advance through the game until later stages of the campaign. One crucial mission that must be completed is known as The High Keep--and we also have a detailed walkthrough for The High Keep should you require any guidance.

During your first Beast Class, you will have the opportunity to meet Highwing, a majestic creature. Later in the game, you will embark on a quest to rescue the Hippogriff Highwing by scaling the battlements of a fort. Once this mission is accomplished, you will be rewarded with the Hippogriff mount, which will become your loyal companion.

Onyx Hippogriff mount

In The High Keep, you will have the chance to save your newfound friend and strengthen your bond with Highwing. This particular version of Highwing is exclusive to those who preordered the game. If you wish to switch to a different flying mount, you can do so by accessing the Gear menu and selecting the corresponding panel on the right-hand side of your screen.

Thestral mount

The Thestral mount in Hogwarts Legacy can be obtained by purchasing the Dark Arts Pack DLC. By default, this exclusive pack is included in the Deluxe Edition, but it may also be available for individual purchase in the future. Once you own the Dark Arts Pack, you can unlock the Thestral mount after successfully completing The High Keep quest.

If you have the Dark Arts Pack, you can easily switch to the Thestral mount through the Gear menu.

Graphorn mount

Lastly, we have the formidable Graphorn, which currently stands as the sole ground mount in Hogwarts Legacy. This extraordinary creature, resembling a blend of a ram, elephant, and a child of Cthulhu, has the ability to charge at and trample its foes. To acquire this impressive animal mount, you must complete the challenging San Bakar's Trial quest. In due course, you will face off against the Graphorn and encounter a moment where it will attempt to charge at your character during a cutscene. You have the choice to either kneel or attack, so make your decision wisely and complete the quest.

Hogwarts Legacy is a video game created by Avalanche Software, which is a subsidiary of Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. The game has faced significant controversy due to transphobic comments made by JK Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter series. While Rowling is not directly involved in the game's development, she would still benefit financially from its success. For a comprehensive understanding of the impact of Rowling's statements on the transgender community, we encourage you to read our detailed article. Within the article, you will also discover resources to support transgender creators and charitable organizations that you can contribute to.

In order to obtain these mounts, players must progress through the game's campaign and complete certain quests. For example, the Hippogriff mount is obtained by completing the quest "The High Keep," while the Thestral mount is obtained by purchasing the Dark Arts Pack DLC and completing the same quest. The Graphorn, the sole ground mount in the game, is acquired by completing the challenging "San Bakar's Trial" quest.

Overall, the addition of magical mounts in Hogwarts Legacy adds an exciting new layer of exploration and transportation to the game, allowing players to traverse the vast open world in style and with a sense of wonder.
