| High Jump | Press X / A while in a Spirit Spring |
|---|
Pressing the X / A button while inside a Spirit Spring which looks like a gust of wind encircling a small patch of ground, will make you jump high into the air. This will allow you to reach high-up places you couldn't reach on foot.
You can also land safely from a high place by jumping toward the air current while riding your mount.
You can summon Torrent to ride around The Lands Between. Torrent is fast, can double jump, and can get you to places much easier than you can on foot.
While mounted, you can also engage in combat. Pressing the left shoulder buttons will make you attack to the left, while pressing the right shoulder buttons will make you attack to the right. The added evasion and speed from a mount will allow you to avoid dangerous attacks or outrun powerful enemies.
You can quickly switch between mounted and on-foot combat by jumping off your mount.
If you two-hand your weapon before mounting and attack normally, you will deal more damage.
The animation does not change, but the damage different is very noticable.
You can also charge up a Strong Attack while moving to deal with several enemies!
