How to Unlock Mounts in Diablo 4

Complete the Mount: Donan's Favor Quest

Complete Mount Donans Favor to Gain Access to Horse Mounts

To gain access to horse mounts, players will need to complete the Mount: Donan's Favor quest (Campaign) during Act 4.

Not Immediately Available

Horse Quest Prerequisites
CheckmarkClear Acts 1, 2, and 3 to reach Act 4
CheckmarkComplete Act 4 Quest A Master's Touch

Even after reaching Kyovashad and visiting the Stables, you won't be able to take on the Donan's Favor Quest right away. You first need to reach Act 4 in the main story, then complete its second quest A Master's Touch before you can start the Quest and unlock Mounts.

Story Walkthrough and List of Main Quests

Can You Unlock Mounts at the Start?

Not Possible to Immediately Proceed to Act 4

Mount Donans Favor Quest

Unfortunately, despite the open world nature of the game, it's not possible to immediately proceed to Act 4 and complete the Donan's Favor Quest, as only Acts 1-3 are available immediately after reaching Kyovashad.

You have to complete Acts 1, 2, and 3 before you unlock Act 4. You don't unlock Act 4 just by completing Act 3 alone.
