There are various means to explore the vast world of V Rising: Secrets of Gloomrot, ranging from utilizing ancient waygates to shape-shifting into diverse creatures such as toads, wolves, and even bats. For those who prefer the conventional approach, they can simply hop on a horse and wreak havoc across the countryside in the classic style.
Among the most advantageous features of V Rising's primary expansion is the introduction of Vampire Horses. Although they do not sprout fangs and start attacking innocent towns, they do offer several benefits that standard mounts lack. Here's how to obtain one.
How To Get A Vampire Horse In V Rising
To obtain a Vampire Horse in V Rising, players must complete a series of progression quests displayed in the upper-left corner of their screen. These tasks will reward players with Vampire Powers and crafting recipes essential to castle building. Upon upgrading a Castle Heart to Level 4, players will unlock the Dominate Mount power, which functions similarly to Dominate Human, but for horses.
Once players have unlocked Dominate Mount, they can use the power on any horse they come across in the game world. However, it is important to ensure the area is clear of any enemies that may disrupt the spell channeling, as it takes a few seconds for the horse to be fully converted.
After the spell is cast, the horse undergoes a transformation and becomes a Vampire Horse. These new mounts offer several benefits over regular horses and can be ridden by players just like any other mount. So, what sets Vampire Horses apart?
The quality-of-life of mounts in V Rising has been greatly enhanced by the Secrets of Gloomrot. With the addition of the Dominate Mount ability, Vampire Horses can now be summoned by their masters from any distance, making them incredibly responsive and easy to manage. This ability can be activated again after the entire transformation process is complete, allowing for a seamless and effortless summoning experience.
Additionally, Vampire Horses possess the remarkable ability to survive without the need for water or any form of sustenance. In contrast, normal horses require Filled Waterskins in their inventory to avoid death from dehydration. Moreover, vampire mounts can be revived after being slain, unlike their mortal counterparts.
With their increased speed and the added ability to use weapons while in motion, horseback riding has made long-distance travel more efficient and enjoyable than ever before. Furthermore, both horseback riding and Wolf Form possess the Spectral Leap ability, which allows players to phase through obstacles. However, while horseback riding is faster, Wolf Form remains more maneuverable and easier to control, making it a preferred option for certain situations.
