The world of Diablo 4 is vast and interconnected, but even with all those fast travel portals, it can be a drag travels to the far corners where you’ll find dungeons, strongholds, and other important content. If you want to get around fast, you’ll need to unlock your first mount.
Horses are unlocked at Level 45 regardless of where you’re at in the main story. Before completing the game, you’re limited to only Level 1-50, so you’ll likely be on Act 4-6 before unlocking the ability to use mounts. Mounts are unlocked and purchased through the Stable Master NPC, which can be found in every major city. Here’s when and how to finally get your hands on a steed.
