Mounts are more than just a convenient way to travel in ODIN Valhalla Rising — they’re status symbols, battle companions, and in many cases, essential tools for exploration. While the game offers a variety of standard mounts, the hidden ones are where the real thrill lies. Some of these elusive beasts require dedication, luck, and a good understanding of the game’s mechanics to obtain. This guide breaks down how to unlock all 15 hidden mounts so you can ride in style across Midgard.

1. Understand the Basics of Hidden Mounts

Hidden mounts in ODIN Valhalla Rising aren’t listed openly in your mount collection. They’re unlocked through special quests, rare drops, or secret achievements. Some require specific materials or currencies, including the ever-important ODIN Diamonds.

Before you dive into hunting these mounts, make sure your character is at least level 45. Many of these unlock requirements are tied to mid or late-game content.

2. The List of Hidden Mounts and How to Get Them

1. Shadowfang Wolf

Found in the Misty Highlands. Defeat the world boss Fenris Brood Alpha and hope for a rare mount drop.

2. Crimson Drake

Complete the "Fire in the Sky" hidden quest chain in Muspelheim. Expect to invest both time and ODIN Valhalla Rising Diamonds to purchase quest-specific materials.

3. Frostbite Elk

Farm Icebound Caverns bosses. The mount can randomly drop from Elder Frost Trolls.

4. Ghost Steed

Unlockable by completing all Spirit Realm exploration achievements. It requires patience, as some locations are extremely well-hidden.

5. Embermane

Purchaseable during seasonal events using ODIN Diamonds, so save up and watch for event announcements.

The ultimate hidden mount, unlocked by defeating the Elder Wyvern boss in cooperative raid mode. Only the top-performing team members get the mount token.

3. Tips to Speed Up Your Mount Hunting

• Save Your ODIN Diamonds: Many hidden mounts are tied to premium shop rotations, events, or player markets where ODIN Diamonds are essential.

• Join a Guild: Some of the best mounts, like the Stormcaller Griffon, require coordinated guild efforts.

• Track Events: Time-limited events often introduce hidden mounts or the materials needed to unlock them.

• Explore Thoroughly: Don't just follow the main questline. Hidden puzzles, exploration achievements, and rare spawns are all essential for mount hunting.

Collecting all 15 hidden mounts in ODIN Valhalla Rising isn’t a task for the faint of heart, but the rewards are well worth the effort. With dedication, a good understanding of where to spend your ODIN Diamonds, and some help from your guildmates, you’ll soon be riding the rarest beasts the realms have to offer.
