How to Unlock Mount Taming

Before taming mounts, you must progress through early story missions.

Steps:

  • Complete the introductory Na’vi training quests
  • Unlock the “Bonding” skill branch
  • Reach the first clan settlement
  • Receive the mount taming quest

Once completed, mount taming becomes available.

How to Tame an Ikran

Ikrans are flying mounts used for aerial travel.

Taming process:

  • Locate an Ikran nest in high cliff areas
  • Climb to the marked bonding point
  • Follow on-screen rhythm prompts
  • Maintain balance during the bonding sequence

After success, your Ikran becomes your permanent aerial mount.

How to Tame a Direhorse

Direhorses are ground mounts for fast travel.

Taming steps:

  • Find Direhorses in open plains
  • Approach slowly without sprinting
  • Start the bonding interaction
  • Complete the timing sequence carefully

Direhorses are easier to tame than Ikrans but cannot fly.

Improving Mount Bond Level

Bonding increases mount performance.

To raise bond level:

  • Travel long distances together
  • Feed your mount when prompted
  • Avoid taking heavy damage
  • Complete mounted challenges

Higher bond levels unlock faster speed and better control.

Mounted Combat Tips

Fighting on mounts is powerful when used correctly.

Tips:

  • Use aerial attacks with Ikran for RDA outposts
  • Shoot while gliding for bonus damage
  • Use Direhorse charge attacks on ground enemies
  • Keep moving to avoid incoming fire

Mounted combat is ideal for hit-and-run tactics.

Best Mount Travel Practices

  • Use Ikran to scout enemy bases
  • Mark resource locations from the air
  • Switch to Direhorse in dense forests
  • Call mounts instantly from the quick menu

Efficient mount usage saves time and keeps you safe.
