The Vessel of Hatred DLC for Diablo 4 introduces a wealth of new mounts, expanding your options for traversing the dark and treacherous world of Sanctuary. With over 20 new mounts available, players can now enjoy both revamped horse designs and brand-new War-Cat mounts that reflect the DLC's unique Nahantu location and the newly added Spiritborn class. This guide details all the new in-game mounts and how to unlock them, ensuring you can ride in style as you battle the forces of evil.

Unlocking New Mounts Through Gameplay

Most of the new mounts introduced in Vessel of Hatred can be unlocked through organic progression in the game, allowing you to enhance your collection without breaking the bank. By completing in-game tasks and achievements, players can acquire various mounts, while some can be purchased from stables throughout Sanctuary.

Many of the new mounts are tied to the Kurast Undercity, a three-tier timed dungeon that serves as an excellent location for targeted farming of items using Tributes. To collect every new mount in this expansion, it’s essential to focus on max-rank runs in this dungeon alongside other campaign milestones.

• Dark Leopard: Complete the post-campaign storyline.
• Green Eyed Devil: Complete all side quests in Nahantu.
• Leucistic Lion: Complete the main story in Vessel of Hatred.
• Leucistic Panther: Purchase for 100,000 Gold at any Stable location.
