How To Call Your Mount & Upgrade It In Assassin’s Creed Shadows

by

Assassin’s Creed Shadows continues the series trend by immersing players in a vast world brimming with iconic landmarks to discover and new characters to interact with. However, navigating this expansive landscape can only be achieved by running or utilizing your faithful horse. Fortunately, you can summon your steed from any location on the map, but the game does not immediately explain how to do so. In this guide, we’ll show you how players can utilize whistling to call their mount and lead adversaries to their downfall.

How to Call Your Mount in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

In Assassin’s Creed Shadows, players can easily summon their steed with a simple whistle. Let’s take a look at the game’s controls to learn how to call your horse.

Call Mount Ride Mount Gallop Change Riding Stance
PC (Keyboard) Hold ‘X’ Key Press ‘E’ Key Press “Shift” Key Press ‘ALT’ Key
Xbox Controller Hold ‘Down’ on D-Pad Press ‘Y’ Button Press “LS” Button Press ‘X’ Button
PlayStation Controller Press ‘Triangle’ Button Press “L3” Button Press ‘Square’ Button

When you summon the mount, either Naoe or Yasuke will effortlessly climb aboard and set off. However, this action could potentially be perplexing for players because pressing the down directional pad or X key once will emit a whistle, which primarily serves as a means to attract adversaries instead.

How to Upgrade to a Higher Rarity Mount

In the realm of Assassin’s Creed Shadows, I, Naoe, begin my adventure astride a shared steed at the game’s outset. Yet, the opportunity to enhance my mount’s rarity awaits! All it takes is a visit to the Ornament Vendor and the purchase of an upgraded horse. These dealers can be found in named cities scattered across the map, but keep in mind that finding them will require some exploration – roaming the streets to uncover their hidden locations.

Following an exchange with a Vendor of Decorative Items, players have the option to acquire a more exotic steed by spending their currency. The cost of these horses often fluctuates based on your current character level. Yet, it’s unnecessary to enhance your horse merely for its rarity. This is due to the fact that an upgraded horse does not grant any extra benefits or enhanced capabilities, such as increased speed.

In the realm of AC Shadows, I find myself drawn towards acquiring a mount of higher rarity not for its utility, but for its striking aesthetics. It’s a temptation to swap out my common steed for one that’s more uncommon. However, since there are no practical benefits attached, it seems prudent to hold onto my coins instead.
