Traversing the tough landscape of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla can be challenging on foot. Luckily the game provides us with mounts that can be upgraded and changed to suit our needs. Here’s exactly how to change and upgrade your mount in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla.

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla has a magnificent world for players to uncover and explore. However, making your journey on foot through England’s ninth-century landscape isn’t the only way to traverse the game’s world.

Luckily for us, Valhalla provides players with mounts that can be changed and upgraded over time. It’s key players understand this mount system to efficiently travel across the game’s harsh landscape.

You can build a stable at your settlement.

How to change and upgrade your mount

There are a few steps you’ll need to follow before being able to change your mount in-game. It’s key to note that you may have to raid some nearby locations to gather materials for construction.

To make things as simple as possible here’s a step by step guide.

  1. Gather 400 supplies and 30 raw materials
  2. Use these resources to construct the Stable and Aviary building in your settlement
  3. Once the building is constructed, speak with the Stable Master
  4. You can then use this NPC to change your active mount

It’s important to note that all of the mounts in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla have the same health, speed and stamina. So, buying new mounts from the Stable Master will only provide a cosmetic change. Players who purchased the Ultimate Edition of the game will have access to the Giant Wolf mount straight away.

Mounts can be upgraded and changed at the Stable Master.

In term of upgrading your mounts, this can also be done through the Stable Master at your settlement. Players will be offered three separate skill paths to choose and each will improve an individual aspect of the mount. These choices are swimming, stamina and health. The early upgrades for the mounts are not very expensive and can be very useful for players so don’t forget to pick them up.

Hopefully, this guide will make your journey through Valhalla’s stunning world a little faster and easier on the feet.
