There are various exclusive mounts in Diablo 4 that cannot be obtained from the in-game microtransaction store. Some can be earned by completing specific challenges, while others are only available from certain vendors. Similar to other items in Diablo 4, mounts can also be obtained as drops from enemies or as rewards from event caches.
One highly coveted mount in Diablo 4 is the Spectral Charger. This mount stands out due to its uniquely transparent appearance and emits haunting, ghostly sounds when summoned or ridden. The Spectral Charger is associated with the Ghastly Reins cosmetic, which can only be obtained as a chance drop from monsters defeated during a specific world event.
How To Get The Spectral Charger Mount
To obtain the Spectral Charger mount in Diablo 4, players will need to participate in specific events that occur at certain times of the day. These events include World Boss spawns, which happen approximately three or four times within a 24-hour period, and Legion Events, which occur every half an hour. The Ghastly Reins, required for the mount, can be obtained as a drop during Legion Events.
During a Legion Event, players must eliminate waves of enemies that spawn in a confined area in order to summon Servants of Hell. Up to 3 Servants of Hell can appear during a Legion Event, and once defeated, their Overlord and a random end-of-dungeon Boss will emerge for a final, challenging encounter. The most effective approach to acquiring the Ghastly Reins is to participate in Legion Events, focusing on achieving Mastery each time.
Legion Events in Sanctuary are easily identifiable on the map with a white circle. If players are in close proximity, they will also appear on the minimap. These events have specific spawning locations, some of which are only accessible once the associated Stronghold has been cleared. A countdown timer begins five minutes prior to the Legion event, and the corresponding icon will appear on the world map simultaneously.
The number of Radiant Chests that spawn at the conclusion of the Legion Event depends on the number of Servants of Hell killed before the Overlord appears. If no Servants of Hell are eliminated before the first wave timer expires, the Overlord and its rewards will not be present.
Check your Stash regularly as the game will automatically retrieve any Cosmetics, Legendary/Unique equipment left on the ground. Think of it as a Lost and Found specifically for these items. It's possible that the Ghastly Reins may be waiting there for you to collect.
When the Ghastly Reins drop, express gratitude to the RNG Gods and simply right-click or interact with it in your inventory. It will appear as a White item, so it might not be easily noticeable if your inventory is full. Once consumed, the Spectral Steed will become available as a new Breed option when customizing your mount at a Stable.
