Hogwarts Legacy - How To Unlock All Flying Mounts And Ground Mounts

There are several Hogwarts Legacy animal mounts for you to discover throughout the campaign. Of course, the game does let you fly around on a broom, but there are various methods to aid you in your exploration. Our Hogwarts Legacy animal mounts guide discusses all the available flying and ground mounts that you'll come across during your adventure.

How to get animal mounts in Hogwarts Legacy

Hippogriff mount

To obtain animal mounts in Hogwarts Legacy, you'll need to progress further until late in the campaign. The first important quest is called The High Keep--and we've got a High Keep walkthrough for that, too, if you need some tips.

The quest entails climbing the battlements of a fort to rescue the Hippogriff Highwing, a creature that you met earlier in the game. Once that quest is done, the Hippogriff mount will be yours to keep.

Onyx Hippogriff mount

This is a reskin of Highwing, which can only be unlocked if you preordered the game. You can change to another flying mount by opening the Gear menu and clicking on the relevant panel on the right-hand side of the screen.

Thestral mount

The Thestral mount in Hogwarts Legacy requires the purchase of the Dark Arts Pack DLC. By default, this is included in the Deluxe Edition, though it may become available as a standalone purchase down the line. If you own the pack, the Thestral mount is automatically unlocked after completing The High Keep quest.

Graphorn mount

Last but not least, there's the mighty Graphorn, which is currently the only ground mount in Hogwarts Legacy. This cross between a ram, elephant, and a child of Cthulhu can charge and trample foes. You can unlock this animal mount by finishing the San Bakar's Trial quest. Eventually, you'll battle the Graphorn and it will attempt to charge your character during a cutscene. Choose to kneel or attack, then complete the quest.
