How to obtain the Diablo 4 mount before reaching Act 4

Acquiring a mount in Diablo 4 significantly accelerates gameplay, although the initial process may require some effort. Here is a guide on obtaining your mount early in Diablo 4.

Leading up to the release of Season 4, Diablo 4 has been continuously receiving improvements. Based on the positive response to the PTR, it is safe to say that this upcoming season will bring significant changes to the game.

The release of Game Pass and the anticipation of a significantly enhanced experience in Season 4 have resulted in an influx of new players. If you are among them, you may be seeking a method to obtain your Diablo 4 mount ahead of time.

Fortunately, there is now a method to acquire your mount in Diablo 4 earlier than expected. This tutorial will explain how to do it and the reasons why you should.

The Importance of Obtaining a Mount Early in Diablo 4

Obtaining a mount in Diablo 4 greatly facilitates traveling across the game’s terrain. While this may seem like a simple statement, as someone who spent most of the campaign on foot, I cannot emphasize enough the convenience that mounted travel provides.

In Diablo 4, obtaining a mount is typically not possible until the start of Act 4 in the campaign. This milestone in the storyline can require more than 15 hours, depending on the individual’s gameplay style.

Fortunately, there is a method to obtain your mount in Diablo 4 earlier, which will greatly expedite travel during the initial stages of the campaign.

How to Obtain a Mount Early in Diablo 4

Prior to the newly added feature, finishing the campaign was necessary in order for your alts to skip it and obtain a mount before Act 4 of Diablo 4’s campaign. However, with this recent addition, you can now skip the campaign after one character has completed its prologue.

To complete the game, it is necessary to complete the prologue with the desired character and then create an alternate character. Follow these steps in the given order:

Finish the game’s prologue with your preferred character
Make an alternate character and select “skip campaign”
Level your alternate to 25
Speak to Stable Master Oskar in Kyovashad to acquire your mount for free
Return to your campaign character and you’ll have the mount unlocked

Thanks to Blizzard’s choice to make mount access account-wide upon initial unlocking, your in-game character can now obtain a mount many hours ahead of their typical timeline.

Although it may seem like reaching level 25 on an alternate character can be quite time-consuming, in Season 4, Helltides will be accessible from World Tiers 1 and 2. As a result, it is possible to reach level 25 in a significantly shorter amount of time compared to reaching Act 4 of the campaign.

Using the same class for your alternate character as your campaign character allows you to create a build that can be used for the story. Additionally, you can farm Legendary gear to transfer using your shared stash.
