Assassin's Creed Origins Best Mounts
Ride Through the Desert in Style


There is a huge choice when it comes to mounts in Assassin’s Creed Origins. All of them come with different looks and advantages. There are 30 different mounts in the game. Most of the time they are used for faster traveling, but they can be useful in combat as well. . This guide will teach you everything you have to know about the mounts. 

Mounts will be necessary while roaming around since the map in-game is huge. You will be able to find them all across the map. Some of them you will get by completing quests and some you can buy in the E-Store. But most of the mounts are available in the stables for purchase.

Mounts are divided into 3 categories:

  • Horses
  • Camels
  • Chariots

Another way of getting mounts is by winning the Hippodrome races. By winning every race you will be able to claim rewards. Completing more races difficulty will increase, but so will the rewards.

2. Kweh

Kweh

If you are a Final Fantasy fan, you are going to like this one. This mount is designed to remind one of Chocobo from Final Fantasy games. It’s actually a camel dressed as a bird in a post-modern style.

To claim this mount, you will have to solve the Sundial Puzzle, which is part of the quest Gift from The Gods. This quest is a result of crossover with Final Fantasy XV. You can find it in the Saqqara Nome region.

Keep in mind that this quest is available only at certain times of the day. You can speed up the time by using Dawn and Dusk’s ability. Completing the quest, you will get 3 cool items, and one of them is Kweh.

"This enigmatic creature’s tremendous speed was once used for racing”.

1. Unicorn

Unicorn

I bet you didn’t expect that you will see this mythical creature in the game. That’s right, you will be able to ride a Unicorn in the game. Leave a trail of the rainbow while roaming through the desert.

To buy this mythical creature, you will need Helix Credits. The easiest way is to buy it with 500 Helix Credits, which you can get by buying an edition of the game that comes with a season pass. 

If you don’t have enough Helix Credits, you can buy them for cheap in the online store. Your other option would be buying special item boxes for rare weaponry at the Nomad’s Bazaar market. You can also search for special quests every day to earn rare legendary loot.

“Unicorns are said to originate from faraway lands, though we’ve never been able to determine which. What we do know is that they are fabulous”.
